The applications should be made just as these weeds are corning into flow- er. Sodfuhit 'C'hloeate is one of our best and cheaipe'stt cherrdcal weed killers. Its use, however, cannot be recom- mended un'reserve'dly because of the danger of fire in handling' it. • Increasing Yields, The application of a definite scheme of crop rotation is being found an im- portant factor •in reducing feed costs.. The chief advantages of such a prec- tine are: (1) Maintaining and improv- ing soil fertility, thus . 'increasing yields; ('2) A'ssis'ting in weed control; (3) Assisting in the control of insect and crop 'diseases by having various crops oat freshsoil each 'year; and it snakes a more even distribution of labor throughout the year possible. Increasing the yield per acre is one of the best' ways of reducing cost of production, and in this respect crop rotation' p'l'ays a real part. o„„„.,.... ,... Why Hens Stop Laying. A flock that has laid heavily dur- ing the winter will generally slow up toward the middle of the summer when they begin to moult, but when the egg yield drops rapidly until it practically ceases without any ap- parent .reason, then suspect vermin. Body lice, which remain on the birds, and the red mite - which infests the poultry' house during the day, return- ing to the birds at roosting time, causes heavy losses, Mr. F. C. Elford, Dominion Poultry Husbandman, re- commends for the former dusting the birds far' lice with powder and ap- plying blue ointment beneath the wings; and for the red mite he re- commends a strong solution o'fzeno- leuni, 'app'lied to the .cracks in the roosts and nest.b'oxes at regular in tervals through the summer. Coal oil applied in similar fashion at intervals is also recommended A Turkey Club. The latest club for farm boys and girls is a Turkey Club operating in Norfolk County under auspices of the Sinitcoe Rotary Club in co-operation with the local agricultural representa- tive, F. C. Paterson, Each Rotarian has furnished a boy or girl with five young turkeys. Instructions for rais- ing therm are given by the Depart- nment. Next fall each Rotarian will re- ceive one full-grown turkey as the return on his investment. The aim is to interest Norfolk.boyns and girls in. turkey - raising and to improve the breed of turkeys. Turkey breeding is not the diffi- cult undertaking that is, generally sup: posed when the 'breeding stock and poults are properly handled. Essent- ials to success in turkey breeding are: clean soil, mature stock for breeding,.. free range and above all, the lteping of the turkey flockawayfrom other barnyard fo'wIs, Chemical Weed Killers. Farmers,• gardeners and others are looking for an easy .and .effective way of destroying small patches of peren- nial weeds. The Department of Botany at the 0, A. 'C. has been experimenting' with chemical weed killers for the past four years. The results obtained from these ex'perimen'ts would warrant making the following statements regarding the destruction of small patches of weeds, 3ield Bindweed and Twitch Grass may be killed by three applications of Altacide, 'Weed Cop or Sodium Chlorate. The strengths required are 1 pound per gallon of water of Afla- elle or Wleed Cop per 100 sq. ft, lir. 1 pound per gallon of water of Sod- ium Chlorate per 400 square.feet The first aplication should be given when the weeds are in full blown, the .sec- and three weeks later, and the third a month .later. (Blue -weed and Burdock can be kilted by one application of Sodium Chlorate at tie rate of 8 ounces per gallon of water per 400, square feet and by one application of Altacide or Weed Corp at the rate of 1' pound per gallon of water per 100 lquare, feet. Poison I'vy may be killed with one or two, applications of Altacide or Weed Cop at the rate of 1 pound per gallon of water per 100 square feet. The first -application may he made as soon as the plant leafs out, and a sec- ond spraying with the solution given if the plants hegi'n to leaf out again in three o;f four weeks' time. Perennial Sow Thistle may be de- stroyed by two or three applications of Atlacide or Weed Cop, the rate of application being 2 pounds per gallou of water per 100 square feet. The first application should be•given just as the thistle commences to bloom, the sec- ond three weeks later, and if new' growth appears, another a'pp'lication of the same strength, should be given, .10x -eye Daisy and Wild Carrot may be destroyed by one application o,{ Atlacide or Weed Cap at the rate of 1 pound; per gallon 61 water per 100 sq. ft., and by one app.lic'atioii',of sod- ium chlorate at the rate of 1• pound Farm Labor. The .following report from the rep- resentative in North Simcoe is rather significant: "Lt spite of dozens of me(n passing through Barrie daily, it has not always been easy to secure mento fill applications for farm help. A per tentage of this floating labor' popula- tion is, of coudse, not, well' qualified for farm work, buil on the other linitid few of those ,are willing to accept • farm work at the general rate of $15 per month." Premium Willingly Paid by Toronto Consumers, There` is a contention -that the con- sumer is prepared, usually, to pay a, premium for a higher quality, and a more attractively paoleed" farm Pro- duct, This thought oases exemplified lately on the Torontowholesale mar- ket when the prices of 1'I -quant bas-' kilts o'f Ont'aeio 1.1 -quant asparagus ranged fram $1 to $4!50. Froin the ready acceptance of t'he $1.150' biass'k- ets,,i't Was apparent that 'buyers s were willing to pay the higher price when. receiving infinitely' better a more attractive quality and pack,
