When to Cut Sunflowers.
"It' is generally recommended to
cut sunflowers 'when they are about
i0 to 60 per ,cent in blood'," states iE.
S, Hopkins, Dominion IFlie'Id I?us-
lbandman, "At this stage they con-
tain more dry matter than at. earlier
stages and are more easily handled
than at other stages. d'1 the heads are
allowed to firm until the seed is .in
the 'though stage the shocks become
top heavy and diffi'cu'lt to cut and
handle in the :field, and difficulty is
al§'o experienced in getting the larger
heads 'to pass 'through the throat of
the ensilage cutter.
Feeder Purchase Policy.
Renewal of the (Feeder .Purchase
Policy designed to encourage the
winter feeding of cattle and lambs
of suitable type and quality is an-
nounced by the 'Hon Robert Weir,
federal Minister of Agriculture. Un-
der the terns• of this policy, broadly
put, the (federal 'Department will pay
the reasonable travelling expenses of
a farmer or his agent to the stock-
yard point of purchase, the feeder
sales, or nearest statim' to range
paint at which feeder stock is pur-
chased. To secure the :benefits of the
policy at least one car of stock (20
head of cattle or 40 lambs, .or a com-
bined car, figured on 2 lambs as the
equivalent of one beef animal) must
be purchased, ;Stock purchased is sub-
ject to approval as to type and
suit'a'bility by the official representa-
tive olf the Dominion ,Live Stock
Branch serving the point of pur-
chase.
Immaturity and Culls Injure Fruit
Business.
Ontario growers are again advis-
ed against the practise 'of p'lacin'g im-
mature fruit on the market,
C,
E. Broughton, of the 'Ontario
M'arketin'g 'Board` -reports that, only
recently, he noticed a quantity of
plums on the .Toronto, market wh'i'ch
should have been left on the trees
for at least another two;: weeks.
Another practice, detrimental to the
business as a whole, is tinat ,of sell-
ing cull fruit to jobbers who are 'de-
'fin`itely in the market for this quali-
ty of p.roduc't. Generally, it does not
seem to be known that there is a
law against setilin'g culls, unless these
are being transported 'direct to a
processing pl'an't, to he used in the
man'uEacture of apple by-products,
!According to Mr, ,Brough'top,
growe.ns should co-operate in an ef-
fort to keep the market .free front
culis. The marlcetin'g of culls sloes
serious injury to the entire trade,
through) creating dissatisfied cus-
tomers.
Plantings of Celery Increased in
Ontario,
Revised acreage figures, for On-
tario, indicate that ,898 acres have
been planted to celery this year, The
two leading districts, iLanabton ICotttd-
ty and .Burlington, repodt plantings
of 400 aitd. 325, "acres 'respectively.
Weather conditions have 'been favor-
able, and 'crop proslpeets are from av-
eralge '10somewhat better than

Weekly Crop Report.
Reports from county representa-
tives indicate that excell'en't yields of
grain are being reported ,in . certain
parts of Western Ontario, while in
other sections yields are con'siderabiy
lower than 61.:10311. Some .fall wheat
has been 'seeded for the 11933 crop.
Many creameries .report a ,115 ,to 20
decrease in out put in comparison
with 15311. Bruce County reports live-
stock in go'bd c'ond'ition due' to good
pasturing, while in the while 'milk
trade more demand is shown for milk
from T.B.-tested cows. 'Buck -wheat
barley mixtures look very promising
in the law late land of the Grand
Vatiey4Dundalk Section's in Dufferin.
Same fine craps of second -cut al-
falfa have been harvested in Grey.
Peel has had an outbreak of .weevils
in old .Winter wheat and 'barley. Da-
mage from leaf 'hop'pers is reported
from South 'S'i•mcoe. In 'W'aterioo, fall
wheat is yielding about 40 bus. to
the acre, oats about '40 bus. and
mixed grain and Ib'arley average yield.
Late tomato crops have come along
well in Essex due to recent rains.
Excellent yields from second -crop al-
falfa of fine quality are noted in sev-
eral counties. Kent 'County will have
a•n average crop of 'burley tobacco.
Peaches of mostt
ar clues are
ag and
crop in Lincoln. Middlesex has en-
joyed first-class pastures this sum-
mer. One farmer in that county 'had
4,500 'bus. from '100 acres, while an-
other had a yield of 50 bus. per acre.
Favourable weather for harvesting,
has been general. A carload of pure-
bred Holsteins were recently ship-
ped frons Prince Edward County.
On Thinning Mangels.
'Experiments carried out oyer a
enio4`of eight years by the Dominions
Experi'menta'l Farm, Ottawa, sh'o'w,
that the largest crop of mangels is
secured when they are thinned to a
dislfamee `of 9 inches apart Tl e -
pont also observes that the system of
blocking plants' into small bunches
results' in the pro'du'ction or many
small !toots, .which are .. difficult, to
harvest.
Ontario .Potato Outlook.
J. T. Casslon; Oh'tario Marketin'g
Board states that the cards 'potato
crop is being marlceted rrapidty, and
yields are avenaginlg about sixty-five
per cent of those of last year.
IT'lie' southern counties have al-
ma!st"finished shipping, : and the .crop
is beiu.g marketed' rapidly, and ylields
are averaging 'about sk ty,five per
cent of those, of last year. •
11he southern counties have almost;
ifinis'hed shilpping, and, the crop in
the central port cif .the 'Pro'vinc'e is
being raved as quickly at it is ready.
(The D'op'le'y, or la;t'e potato crop is
progre'ssin'g faivarably. Recent rains
hwlhieli' have been more or less gen-
eral, have greatly improved. 't'he ap-
pearance of many fields. A good crop
of lalte pot'atoe's is anti'cipa'ted, if fav-
orable weather Con'dition's continue.
The Farm. Poultry Flock.
Poultry is at last definitely reico'g
nized as one of the essential: depart-
ments of every up,to-'date farm where
a program of ; mixed farming is car-
ried on. Not only is it recognized as
a necessary department of farm work
hut more and more farmers are c'o'm-
ing fo realize that for the c'apita'l in-
vested and labor in'vo'lved there are
few 11 any department's .that give as
high returns. For the m'ix'ed farm,
general purpose breeds such as the
P'lym'outh Racks, which are gob'd
Ibobh for laying an'd for the produc-
tion of market pbultry, are recom'-
menld'e'd. A Rock of a h'un'dred such
birds carefully managed are return-
ing to many a farmer a profit of over
cost of feed of from $200 to $500 a
year, which is something not to be
disdbined by even the most success -
farmers. -
