Brantford, camping on the 13. line on
the river bank, making and selling to
the town people, baskets, axe handles,

R. A. Graham in 1872, located in the
first house south of Griffin's Motet,

by Alex. Forgie. Bill Scott and Jim

Current Report
Parts of Ontario are now beginning
to feel
the pinch of short supplies pf
both hay and grain due to poor crops
last summer. In recent reports from
agriclutural representatives„ it was in-
dicated that the extreme severity of
the present winter, coupled with the
dwindling feed supplies, was lower-
ing the vitality of ,tock: Brttce.coun-
ty mentions many cases of pneumonia
(among cattle due to the cold, and
Muskoka and Parry Soui,d indicates
that the live stock of the ditr•ict are
in poor crnditicn, due to the long,
cold winter.
Peel and Dttfferin report grain and
hay scarce and many dairymen not
feeding for maximum, production be-
cause of the high price tof ,mill feeds.
In 'Prince Edward county and points
'further east, there is every indication
that a great deal of hay will be need-
ed by cattle feeders and dairymen be-
fore the winter is, -through.
Practically all counties inention.

snapped tip by neighbors who are
short and that prices range from $10
per ton in the western end of the pro-
vince, to $16 and $18 on the Ottawa
market for loose hay.

ng smut or bunt. Similarly
what does for covered smut of barley
is not effective for loose smut of bar-
ley. The reason for this is simply
that the loose smuts are caused by a
fungus which lives thrdugh the win-
ter inside of—the grains and can be
destroyed only by the hot-water•.
treatment. On the other hand the
spores of wheat bunt .and covered

eals.
For wheat bunt, loose smut of oats
and covered smut of barley the fol-
lowing treatment is 'recommended' by
the Division of Botany, Dominion.
Experimental . Farms. The solution is
prepared by adding one pound of -.for-
malin to 40 gallons water,iiil the for-
malin and water are, well -mixed to-
gether. Since this quantity of liquid
:may be greater than is required for
use in a single day, any desired am-
ount may be prepared in the above
proportions by adding', one ounce of
formalin to every 2i gallons water.
The grain tobe treated is placed
in a pile on a clean floor and sprink-
led ed with
formalin solation froman
ordinary sprinkling -cart or by means
of a broom, The grain is then' t hov-
elled over into another pile, and mix-
ed as thoroughly as possible to dis-
tribute the moisture. The grain is
again sprinkled and shovelled over_
This operation is repeated until uni-
form moisture is assured. Forty gal-
lons of solution will -treat from 40 to.
50 bushels of grain, approximately r
gallen to every bushel. The treated
grain should be covered up for' four
hours with clean sacks or canvas:
Loose smut 'of wheat and loose
smut of barley: are controlled by hot-
water treatment as follows: First the
seed is soaked in warm water (86°F.)
for four hours and then the swollen
grain is immersed for ten minutes ire
water kept during this time at a con—
stant temperature not below 122°F..
and not above 126°F
