The Busy Farmer Convention Dates The annual convention of the Fruit Growers 'Association of Ontario will be held at the Royal Connaught Ho- tel, Hamilton, February 13th, 14th and O ntario (Horticultural Association, Annual Convention—Thursday and Friday, February 21 and 22, eotninene- ingat iJ a.m. Ring Edward Hotel, Toronto. - Processing Canadian Fruits Improved quality has been an im- portant factor in increasing the total domestic consumption of canned fruit and vegetables in Canada, as well as opening ning tie door to expanding, c ing for- eign or-sign markets. Provided quality and continuity of supply are maintained, a larger market sterna assured. These factors are progressively operative and, if adhered to, justify the expec- tation tbat the volume of fruits and vegetables processed in Canada will continue to grow. Already a Consid- erable part of the Canadian produc- tion of fresh fruit and vegetables goes to the processors, and the pro- portion so used is likely to increase. This trend should be irnpressed upon growers in order that the best var- ieties and the best quality for Pro- cessing may be produced in sufficient quantities. Feed Sunshine Cod liver oil, the sunshine substi- tute, is one of the most important items in the proprely balanced polu- try ration. Where birds are closely confined during the winter ,Months, as is the case in most parts of Can- ada, they receive very little direct sunlight, and with the rations usually fed they do not receive all the vit- amins they require. Calcium.- and phosphorus are two minerals specially required for laying pullets and hens in the manufacture 'of eggs. The di- gestion and assimilation of materials, especially calcium, require one or two things; an abundance of direct sun- shine or an abundance of vitamin D. Cod liver oil is rich in vitamin D, andisone of the reliable sources of this type of food. Your Seed Supply It is not too early in the season for a farmer to be thinking about his seed supply for the corning Spring. In far too many cases no thought is given to the matter until a few days before the seed is required and by that time it may be difficult to ob- tain, and he will be compelled to take seed of inferior quality. It is a good policy to be .sure of your seed supply early in the season, The farrier who is growing a standard variety of grain that is yielding well and is adapted to his farm would be well advised to ,use it for his own seeding requirements. It has been proven thatif such grains are well cleaned, free from weed seeds mixtures and other impurities and the very best sown it would improve ra- ther than deteriorate. On a lot of farms there are bins of the very best grains that are be- ing fed to our livestock or being sold for feeding purposes. Would it not be good business to set up the fan- ning mill at this time of year when farm work is not so pressing and clean this grain or haul it to year nearest cleaning - centre? Smaller grains may be chopped or taken home and fed whole. They stake good feed, but poor se.ect, the' best is' none too good to sow, for whatsoever a man sowetlt that shall he also reap. Start early, clean andreclean your best grain before feeding and keep the best for seeding purposes. It will also pay you from a financial standpoint. The tendency is for prices to go up as supply s andthe . r the season.advance. lip y gets less Plentiful. It is good farm practice and you will save time and motley by being sure of your seed supply early. • 1 Eastern Canada Potatoes Now Under Regulation The pastern Canada :Potato Mar- keting Scheme submitted by re'jiresen- 4.atives, of the potato industry, has been approved by I-f+ut. Robert Weir, Dominion Minister of: A';;i•ic•ulture, upon the recommendation of the Do- minion Marketing Board. he scheme embraces the provinces of Prince Edward, Island, Nova Scot-' ai, New Brunswick and Ontario. The potato .growers in these provinces have been receiving inadequate re- turns for their potatoes and the po- sition of the growers has been ;partic- ularly difficult this year. A very large crop and lack of organization has re- sulted in demoralized marketing con- ditions. The 1934 potato crop for the four provinces is placed at 43,308,000 bushels, an increase of 8,188,000 bush- els :compared with the production in Under the : scheme, it is :expected: orderly marketing will result primarily through control of the grades, of po- tatoes entering the commercial chan- nels of trade and potatoes of inferior grades will not be allowed to glut the market. Consignment selling, which has been contributing largely to price demoralization will be prohibit- ed rohibited and, sales will be made under firm contracts. The -scheme also provides for the development of exportmar- kets arkets and for increasing domestic con- sumption of potatoes. i - i believed Moreover, it s b ed the utiliza- tion of potatoes . in various fortis which might be marketed in this. country or find an outlet to other countries, has not been fully explor- ed and that organization of those con- cerned with potatoes will greatly fa- cilitate the type of work necessary to develop such possibilities. The proposed scheme was submit- ted by representative potato growers and dealers. Originating with a meet- ing of representatives of the potato industry held at Ottawa under the auspices of the Canadian Horticultur- al Council, the scheme has since been endorsed by meetings of producers and dealers held at central points through all the important potato pro- ducing areas in the four, provinces. The scheme will be.administered•by a Local Board. 5000 Facts About Canada for .1935 The public will again welcome the annual issue of "5,000 Facts About Canada," now in its 32nd year, com- piled by the well known Canadian writer and lecturer, Frank Yeigh, and which has won a well deserved popu- larity for the conciseness and value of its information. It is truly' a tab- loid cyclopedia of the Dominion — Canada in a Nutshell — "or two," as Andy would say. Here within brief compass are all the salient features of the country for the current year, arranged under fifty chapter steads rangin from Agriculture to Yukon, This handy little volume—"as full of meat as a cocoanut"—is a revelation of the progressive story of the Do- minion in a single year, and should prove a source of encouragement to all and a revelation as well of the favorable trends of recent months. It "sells Canada" most effectually, and its wide circulation is good national business. Copies at 35 cents each, or three for a dollar inay be had from 588 Huron Street, Toronto or from leading newspapers. MORE IRON GIVES NEW STRENGTH ..
