Corn isplanted any time afte danger of Eros( is past. Mangets Should be put in fairly early so that the seedl will have the early moisture. Turnips are not planted before the second week in June and may go until abou, July 10. If; planted too early they make less palatable feed than those which mike moat of their growth in early fail, Cull Them Out As soon as the spring spurt in egg production commences to lessen there are certain hens in every flock tha should be culled out and marketed The sooner they are gotten rid of th better will be the flock ,profits. Labor reduced. feed costs are lowered and the profitable birds are given mare room in the laying house and on the range. Poultry should also sell for mare money in the early part of the summer' than 'later, so there is a mat- erial gain in disposing of the non- productive birds. One of the simplest sways to cull the flock is to go over the birds when they roost at night. Pick out those with shrivelled, rough combs and 'shrunken, hard abdomens. A bird with a large amount of fat around the abdomen is not in laying condition. Soybeans in Ontario Reports from thirty farmers who conducted soybean demonstrations in many parts of Ontario 'last year show the average date of seeding to be. May 10th: average date cut for hay, August 20th. average height of plants thirty-two inches, average yield for hay 2.4 tons per acre. Soybeans will grow on almost any type of soil although the best results cannot be expected on stiff clay or light sand. Soybeans to produce hay ehon d be sown with an ordinary grain drill about May 15 for the average season. One and one-half totwo bush of seed per acre is required: The seed shoed be inoculated. For Ontar- in c, ndttions .he OJA.C., No. 211 var- iety has given excellent results. Seed may he obtained from dealers and overs throughout the, province. S ,:aeons should not be sown on weedy land and it is usually advisable _o go over the crop with a light har- row arrow after the .olatt'ts are well through the ground. The crops should. be cut with a mower andthe plants allowed to lie in the swath until they are thor- oughly wilted. 'Subsequent treatment is much the sante as for other hay. Reforestation Tree planting is gaining in popular- ity with farmers in all parts of the ,province. A's an example of goodswortc done by an individual fanner, Waiter Riddell of "Thornciale, Ontario, this year undertook an extensive scheme of reforestation on his farm in Nis- souri Township. He has 20,000 trees. mostly spruce, pine., cedar and quite a nntma'ber of nut trees and hardwoods. There 'will be einough in all to cover fifteen acres. 'Middlesex County has been one of the leaders in reforesta- tion, In 1931 there were 168,500 seed- ling trees supplied by the Government to residents of the county fol- refor- estation purposes. These seedlings are supplied free of charge. Other counties are doing 'almost as well and a numb- er of fine municipal forests are in coarse of growth. Rutabagas in Demand According to reports, the Farmers' Co-operative A'ssocia'tion of Blackwat- er, has an order for 30,000 bushels of "Big O" Brand rutabagas, to he de- livered next marketing season, 'These Weekly. Crop Report ' 'Orchards in, Dundas County ,are looking particularly well and pr'os,peces' are 'for a good crop in well -handled orchards. A large •number of old os 'chards are being trimmed up -and put in shape and will be sprayed: this sea- son. for the first time in several years, 'Blossom time will be later this year owing to the backward season,' Dur- ham County reports that orchardists in the Port Hope district purchased a carload of ammonia su'lp'hate to. supply their requirementsthis year. 4F'all wheat has never looked better than at the present time, according to a report: from, Hald'insatvd, but sweet clover has suffered badly from heav- ing. In the Muskoka an'd Parry Sound district it is reported that a much lar- ger acreage of new land has be'en•elear- ed :than usual, in fact more 'land than has been cleared altogether in the past 'five years. Northumberland County reports '1,000 acre's of tomatoes will be contracted at a contract price of 251c a bushel as compared with 3,000 acres at 50c a bushel" in 1930. Seeding has been general throughout the province. York ;County reports good seed ex .ceptio-nilly scarce and that farmers possessing good seed all report that they could have sold three or four times the amount they had on hand. Planting Strawberries iTihe new bed of strawberries should be planted now. Obtain new plants from a one -year-old plan'ta'tion, Dig them with a digging fork, shake out the soil, gather them up quickly and remove to some shelter where they may be gone over, sorted and straight ened'out, preparatory to planting. The sooner they are planted the better and -just before doing so, dip the plants into water so that they are thorough- ly wet. The spade is the best tool for hand planting, and with a boy to place the plants in the opening made with the spade, two people working togeth- er.can plant very rapidly, even 3000 to TRY Gillespies Cleaners & Dyers WITH YOUR NEXT ORD'E'R Phone 196w.

Thorough and frequent cultivn- Ition should be given during the sea- son. Nitrogen in 'the form of nitrate of sada or; am'monia su'lplhate'may be used to advantage just atter the planets have started into growth.. • Pasture Improvement 'A vast amount of work ,on pasture. imlpnovement has been done in recent' years. Experimental work has shown' that pasture grasses are most marl-, (tions wltile young, and out of that'hblls grown the recommendation of closer ,grazing. Pasture grasses should not be allowed to- become dry and woody - That may involve' rotational grazing, moving the herd on to another field and bringing them black again alter the first pasture has recuperated. 'Fertilizers have 'shown marked -re- sults in several ways: First of all in more and earlier growtih, in improved quality of grass, leas ,growth`of,weed's and increased resistance to drought. ' Pastures May be improved in sever- al ways. An application .of manure or commercial fertilizers is, perhaps, the easiest method of restoring old per- manent pastures. Another method is do reseed • and disk or harrow. The most thorough practice is to break up the old .pasture>build up the fertility and seed to a good pasture mixture. When. The intention is to pas'ture meadows after one or two hay craps are remov-, ed !(and this is general practice), seed of suitable pasture grasses should be included in the seeding.
