News and Information For The Busy Farmer Control of External Parasites of Poultry Lice and mites are often the cause of poor egg production during hot weather. Body lice can be controlled by the use of blue ointment applied beneath the wings and around the vent, Mites feeding off the birds at night and living in cracks and crevices during the day have to be treated dif- ferently. Ordinary coal -oil will kill the mites, but as it evaporates qiuckly the effects are not lasting. An excel- lent "paint" to apply to the roosts and nest boxes is composed of one part crude carbolic or, possibly bet- ter still, nicotine sulphate, to three or four parts of coal -oil or a mixture of coal -oil and crank case oil, Wilmot Township Solves Roadside Weed Problem For 19 years cows have been allow- -___ . •••-••----- - - ...

The Township Council charges a rental of $2 each for the first and second cows of a herd, $2.50 for the third, fourth, $3.00, fifth $3.50, sixth $4, seventh $4.50, eighth and above $5 each. This sliding scale of charges is arranged to assist the small farmer from 1: to 4 or 5 cows, The average yearly revenue derived from this source is $1,152. The annual cost of weed cutting on Wilmot Township roads is $550 which leaves a tidy animal credit balance in the treasury. Roadsides in this township are among the cleanest in the provin ce. Few, if any, accidents have ever been reported probably due to the fact that cows are not allowed to pas- ture on roadsides.at night. There are approximately 4,500 miles of township roads in Ontario, Using Wilmot township as a basis calcula- tion, a total of .$400,000 could be col- lected'in rentals. Roadsides are clean- er where pastured and the cost of weed cutting is greatly reduced. With theshortage of pasture, failing mums cipal revenue and as a source of re- duced weed control costs, this plan appears to have many features which would warrant its trial in other muni- cipalities. Prepare for Fall Crops To insure having a supply of let- tuce, spinach, radish and Chinese cab bage for fall use, the..seed should be sown at this time. The varieties' that are best adapted, according to the Dominion Horticul- turist, are Grand Rapids and Iceberg' Lettuce; Xing of Denmark and Prin- Icess Juliana spinach; Chihli and •Pet: sai Chinese cabbage, and Scarlet Tur- nip, White Cr Scarlet °Globe radish. Should the so,i1 be quite dry it is important to oira'tlre drills and 1f ir- rigation is 0vaila1e apply sufficient water to inoisteu the soil, and as soon as the land has dried so as to not be sticky, the seeding should be clone, 0 farm ACebgnta Farming has changed• troth a means livelihood to a highly specialized, ,i; competitive '.usiness: Modern farm- ing : involves a ctlnsiderable invest- ment, anvers, ffe�,� iies�pl filvet . e the extent of the capita of ev- en the average farm. This investment equals that of any other small retail and manufacturing establishments; yet the vast majority of farms' are operat ed without any system of accounting or records. Unless adequate records. are kept it is impossible to determine definitely- the cost of thevarious farm operations, and a knowledge of the cost of production will help prevent losses. The use of farm accounts and records will do a great deal towards reducing the cost of production be- low the selling price. Since the farm- er has no control over the selling price his only1 s alternative is to reduce the costs of production to the minimum. Suggestions in Preparing Sheaves for Competition In connection with sheaves for com- petition, J. A. Carroll, superintendent of Agricultural Societies, says that, in the first place, consideration should be given to competition rules covering. sizeof sheaf, etc. A minimum of 8 inches in diameter means at least this measurement at the center binder. Freedom from disease and blemish= es is essential and only heads true to variety should be chosen. Some ex- hibitors cut a number of sheaves in a good part of the field and from these make a selection. A much better way is • to choose individual stalks from the standing grain. This may be done by walking in from the stubble when cut- ting is in progress. Plants should be cut close to the ground with a pair of scissors. When two or three times the am- ount required for a sheaf has been collected, it should be placed on a rack or table to dry, Protected from the weather, particularly rain and dew. A few boards on 'tressels in a loft or drive shed should be suitable. A piece of cheese cloth or other light material spread over the heads would afford protection from birds. Every straw in an exhibition sheaf should be stripped of leaves or flags. This may be done by taking a small handful of 40 or 50 at a time. In this process any diseased or faulty speci- mens should be rejected. The round form desired may be achieved most easily by the use of a mould of some kind. Some exhibitors use three hoops nailed to a bar and left open at the top for the entrance of 'straws. These hoops should be considerably larger than the size re quired fora bound Sheaf. The next step is to place binders and draw tightly after which a sharp knife should be used to even off the butt squarely. Any straws which may break, leaving the heads hanging down, may be removed with scissors. Ribbons for decorative purposes may be added. A box or crate of light but strong materials, should be made and pre- ferably provided with hinged lid. A suitable size for wheat would be 16 inches by 16 inches by 6 feet. Oats would require a larger crate, probab- ly 18 inches by 18 inches by 6 feet, while a shorter box would do for bar- ley. A collar should be placed inside to support thehead end of the sheaf, PORT ELGIN LOSES FIRST TO LUCKNOW.

An outstanding feature of the game was the twirling of the Lucknow pit- cher, Bob. Carrick, who allowed but eight hits; also the batting, of Andy Thompson, A. Andrew and Carrick for Lucknow. The latter sent a long drive over the centre fielder's head for a three -base hit, with two men on, scoring both of there. Unfortunately for.. Port Elgin dur- ing the fourth inningtheir regular pit- cher, lack Cottrill, had the misfor- tune of having his nose broken when bit by a pitched ball while at bat. This necessitated his being taken out of the game,: He was given medical attention. Sturgeon took his place and pitched the remainder of the game and Lamont substituted at second base.
