Good Type Feeder .Cattle Scarce, Says Oa H. Duncan '"My 'observations of the past week -said 'Garnet H. Duncan, live sltock in- vestigator, Ontario Marketing Board, "lead me to believe that there is a very definite market awaitingthe awn - mer wlho is to produce well. - Arad feeder rattle." (Bearing out his contenibian, Mr. 'Du:ncan said that, while travelling through 'Wesitetn Ontario lately, he noticed a dietressiing lack of good type feeder cattle. This is the case to such an extent that the prroiper type of feeder 'cattle is 'bringing a price. equivalent to and in some instances even higher, than that offered for ,the fi'nis'hed export animal. He added that also there appears to be a scarcity of hand weight but- cher cattle, for bhe local trade. Inspection of Ontario Turnips Stricter regulations will be enforc- ed in the marketing of :Ontario tur- nips and alt carlats must -came under Government Inspection. There is •a' growing trade from the province to the United States, mostly from the limestone districts, that produce a high quality turnip. 'Last year this a- ncoun'ted to over 4,000 carloads or 3,000,000 bushels. The Marketing Board became par- ticularly interested it: the industry as it was felt' farmers were getting a low. price far this crop, and that something might be done to secure more satis- factory rethrns. Now official grading has been adopted- whereby buyers may be assured they are getting a uniformly high quality product, Sev- eral meetings, were held by the ship- pers resulting, in a request to both the provincial and Federal Ministers of Agriculture that as a first step. compulsory- grading of all turnips be established before supplies leave. the shipping point. iPlans `for central packing, grading, washing and 'branding are being con- sidered and many sections are taking steps to folldw fhe lead of the Black- water district which has pioneered'tlie way in modenn turnip-merdhandisin:g. The Blackwater 'Growers' Associa- tion has increased returns more than 50 per cent. for field nun turnips as a result of their special pack. Receive More for Produce As 'Result of Conference The effect on Canadian agricultur- al trade : of preferences granted by Great Britain. at the Imperial Confer- ecce, wnas- not' readily appreciated when sterling depreciated, says S. E. Symons, Departmental 'Statistician. I Since January of this year, however, and .more particularly in the last month, the price of sterling in terms of Canadian dollars has shown an al- most sensational appreciation. From. January 9 of this year to July 10, sterling rase from 53.76 to $^4,9S, This mean's that producers in Ontar- io receive approximately one-third more for their produce, without caus- ing the 'British consumer any increase in price., Canadian producers should apprec- iat�' the advantage"they possess in the British market, made even more pro- fitable by this latest rise in 'sterling; and every effort must be made to es- tablish a reputation of grades and re- gularity of supply for Canadian farm products. These are the two essential requirements demanded by British STANLEY. Mr. and Mrs. R. N. Douglas and family, of Blake, Mr. and Mrs. J. D.ougtas and Mr. and Mrs. T.

WHEN AND HOW TO REQUEEN A COLONY (Experimental 'Farms Nate) A colony of bees without a 'fertile queen, or the means of producing one, 's of little or no value, because with- out a queen. new bees cannot be pro- duced and the colony soon dwindles in strength, and ultimately dies. When should a colony be requeened is .a very common question, and the ans- wer is immediately the colony is found queenless or the present queen is failing in her duty, and ,such con- ditions are apt to be found at any time during the active season, but us- ually arise 'because of a .faulty system of requeening..There are two periods of the year ccihen at is of the greatest importance that the colony should the headed by a good prolific queen, namely autumn and spring, in order that the colony may (build up to good strength for the :winter; and again' for the main honey flow. It fdllowis then that these two, periods; are not ;the best times for requeening. At ,the Bee Division, Centrad. Experimental Farm, Ottawa, the best time to requeen a colony is found to be late in July or early in August, for not only will the bees accept ,a new queen more readily during the honey flow, but if a young laying queen is introduced, she is then in the best condition to build up the done for the coming winter, and furthermore, is Still in her prime the 'following spring. A colony may be requeened by giving it a ripe queen, cell, a virgin .queen or a laying queen, the latter is much preferred, and is accepted more readily than the oth- ers, When requeening, first be sure that the colony to be requeened has no queen or queen cells o'f its own. If St has, remove themand twelve hours later, introduce the new queen either 'iv placing the cage in which she ar- rives between the combs of the col- ony or by first transferring her to a :serial introducing cage and then placing this cage in the colony. Be- fore placing the cage in the colony, see that the covering is removed from the candy thole Of the cage so that etre bees may liberate the queen.

Ontario Storage Poultry, Below Five Year Average :Stocks of storage poultry are clean- ing up quite well, states 4T. A Ben- son, Federal Department of Agricel ture„who is senior poultry promoter in Ontario. There is less poultry in cold storage_ than at this time last year and these stocks are below the five year average. This is particularly true of chickens and the prospects for a fair market for chickens are good. Frodttcers would be well advised to. works their crop off gradually through the Summer months instead of sell- ing them all off at the one time in the 1Fa11. ” t . (There have been some Spring chickens coming an the market during the last week or so, mostly broilers.' lOine . important marketing factor, lost sight of by the shipper is that poor, unfinished poultry is very detri- mental from a general price stand- point, particularly "thin broilers, and do not bring repeat orders; lacking as they do k fat to give them flavor Mon. -Tues. -Wed., July 31 -Aug. 1-2 AN ALL (STAR CAST —in— "MY 'WIFE'S FFAMIILY" A screaming farce on in-laws and out -laws Comedy News Reel iThurs.

The demand should be extra good for. Milldfed A and 13. grades of fresh roasters; throughout the summer months. 'Below Grade B ;the quality. is such as to constitute a drug do the ,market. One important thing to re- meinber is that chicken's 'should be crate fattened for two weeks before corning to market. The higher grades will sellreadily and create increased demand. The low grades retard con- sumption and are difficult to sell. Eastern Canada Hay Crop ;According to reports , received to July 1st, a short hay crop in Eastern Ontario and Quebec this year is indi- cated. l This will be of particular interest to the madkey hay trade which in former years has dnawn large supplies from the districts where the shortage will occur .this year. It is estimated that the Quebec crop will not exceed six- ty per cent of last fear's crop, and in Eastern 'On'tario the crop is estimat- ed at from 'twenty -(five to fifty per cent below normal. Use of .Sulphur iSulphur would seem to have but little connection with 'horticulture and yet there are many uses for it in the garden, declares J. F. Clank, Hortic- ultural Lecturer, Agricultural Societ- ies Branch, It is particularly v'aluabre' in preventing mildew and 'black spot'` an roses. It is most efficient when combined with arsenate of lead, nine, parts of sulphur to one of the poison, making what is commonly called the 'Massey dust. This preparation, or sulphur alone, is also .helpful in prot- ecting phlox and delphiniums from attacks of mildew. It sweet peas show signs of mildew, they, too, should be dusted with sulphur, .Mixed with ar- senate of lead, it is useful for dusting on cucumbers and melons to keep away 'striped beetles and flea beetles. It is important however, that the dust should he very finely ground kind ob- tained at the seed store and not the coarse sulphur sold in drug stores. Crops Hit by Drought. ;Lack of sufficient rain during the months of June and July has seriously injured prospects over the greater part of Ontario, according to reports` received from agricultural represen- tatives. Nevertheless we hear from Bruce County that a wonderful crop of Wheat has been-cu,t and that 'hay was oue of the largest crops in years and in almost perfect condition, but spring sown grains as in other coun- ties have suffered materially from lack of moisture. Peel County also 'had a bumper crop of high quality hay, but early potatoes and raspber- ries were light crops due to lack of rain while alfalfa seed crop w•as prac- tically a failure due to anon -setting. In month Simcoe livestock of all kinds on many farms is s'ho'wing -the effect of a shot* pasture supply. In 'Brant !County raspberries were a short crop, cherries 'fairly good and currants and gooseberries fair.' Root crops there as in other districts are not making very great growth. Essex ihas about 50,000 acres of wheat and the yield will be from 115 to 30 bush- els per acre with odd .fields going as high as 40, Pastures are drying up there and pretty well gone except alf- alfa, '115,000 acres of the ratter saving the day for many a dairyman. Essex also grows '500 acres of early melons and this crop is coming along fine. The corn crop is very uneven, while potato yields are disappointingly snvall. Lamlbton and other counties in (Western and Southern Ontario `• also report that crops will fall lbelow the average of the paistfew years.
