It Pays to Dip Sheep In discussing the fact of parasites on sheep and methods for their con- trol, a .Canadian authority gives .foun. reasons as to why it pays to dip sheep JThese are: 1. Sheep that are free from ticks and' lice grow more and better wool. 2. IA clean flock requires less feed and is more easily kept in good con- dition, 3. The lamb crop is stronger, ewes milk better, and latn'bs • grow more rapidly. 4. Parasites are a source of seri- ous discomfort to sheep,' IThe good shepherd should be mindful of the comfort of his flock. !He also points out thiat as . a result of dippingthe saving in feed and Mr creased weight of Iambs' and wool may easily -amount to front 50c to 11;50 per ewe. The cost of dipping under ordinary conditions should; not exceed three cents per; head. Must Have' License All persons other thah pfodu'cer5, inclu'din'g farmers transporting their own fowl, must have a license from the warden and the county clerk if they want to transport fowl on the, highway front one place to another. The provincial statute requires that such licenses be taken out regardless. a of whether or not there is a local by- law, but it is thought that tho passing of a bylaw by county councils strengthens the officials' hands. The purpose of the license is to enable :the .police to .'get ,better checkon chicken thieves as all persons other than . the producer -or farmer when transporting fowl trust carry this license, produce the 'sand when re- quested by the authorities and also 'show a record of the purchase made from the vendor.

The Use of Potash It is the light, sandy and gravelly soil's and muck soils that as a rule are markedly deficient in'potash, and on which profitable returns may be expected from the application of this element; IThe rate of application will of course, :depend on a/number of factors, chief a'm'ong which are the character and fertility of the soil, and the nature of the crops to be growl. For most grain crops an application of muriate of potash of 50 to 715. pounds per acre will be found suf- ficient. For clover and alfalfa these lavnounits might . be doubled' with profit, !For potatoes, roots, corn and leafy crops generally, 100 lbs. of muriate of potash per acre may be considered an average dressing, but frequently 200 pounds may be, profit- ably used. As a rule it will be found more advantageous to use potash with forms of nitrogen and phosph- oric acid than alone and it is always advisable to try out the fertilizer on a small' scale before making large purchases. Clover and Grass Seed ;Due to the low cost of Ontario - produced clover and grass seed this year, farmers may seed down 10 to 20 acres more than they have been in the habit of doing,,s'tates A. H. Ma'rtin, Markets 'Board. In addition to this, the total cost of seed will be materially less. Nature has endeav- ored, it would appear, to offset low prices by providing a bountiful crop. Almost' every clover field in the Pro- vince has produced its allotment of seed and, in most cases, seed of 'very thigh quality, The, 1931 legume crop in Ontario has been• estitnated at varying am- ounts. Even the most conservative estimates, h'o'wever, place the figure at one which will ensure ample high • quality alfalfa, red clover and alsike of hardy, strains, to meet the require- ments of every farmer in this Pro- vince. This heavy supply of home- grown legume seed is .a real blessing to all : farmers, ,particularly those not actuallyor regularly, engagedinthe production of small seeds. Some sections of Ontario are not growing. alfalfa, to any great extent. IIF the truth were known, this may be due to the disappointment caused by winter killing of imported seed. As a sail builder, pasture and . hay crop producer, 'alfalfa.; stand's supreme. ,As a green inature crop, alfalfa opens up the soil, adds nitrates and other plant foods, to -a vette much; greater than the price of the seed. As a hay crop alfalfa outyieldis all others both in quality and quantity. It was the only crop .to retrain green for pasture dur- ing recent very dry years in -West- ern Ontario. Lit. sections where'alf- alfa has not yet secured a foothold it should be sown in mixtures with other legumes. This year clover, elf al fa n a d aUsfke, are very reas'on'able in price.
