Robt. Weir, Minister of Agri- culture, Ottawa, 1931 Barley for Livestock "Barley should be regarded as prac- ticafly the equal of corn with all classes of live stock in the feeding of which the latter grain has played an. irriportant part. It is a Canadian pro- duct admirably suited to widespread production under Canadian condit- ions, climatic and. cultural. It is equal- ly well qualified for a place in : the. growing. and finishing ration of Can- adian live stock." This is ` the fore word of a pamphlet just issued by the Animal Husbandry Division (127 —New Series) to assist farmers in making greater use of Canadian grown feeds for beef and dairy 'cat- tle, sheep and swine: It is also an ideal grain for the horse when fed in balanced ration. Every farmer should have a copy of this pamphlet.—publi- cations Branch, Department of Agri- culture, Ottawa. A Year of New Values The year 1931 will go down in the history of Canadian agriculture as a year of new values, of reconstruction and readjustment, The prices of farm products have not only felt the effect of the general depression but have been forced to new levels through important market changes forcing a huge, volume of products on to the domestic market. But feed stuffs are equally low, and other commodities falling line make the farmer's dollar to -day worth considerably more than. a year ago. There is no year in re- cent times on which to base a com- parison of conditions and the change forged on agriculture is so great that in the opinion of market experts the figures of production cost and values of recent years are useless for pur- pose of comparison. The net returns to farmers during 1931 may prove financially quite as satisfactory as any in recent years,-Depaftment of Agriculture, Ottawa. Goad Seed Listed A wide variety of garden veget- able 'seed beckons the farmer each .year,but not all of them are suited to Canadian conditions. One of the most valuable services supplied by the Dominion Department of Agri- culture is the testing of seed to de- termine suitability for Canadian. con- ditions. The Seed. Branch have pre- pared a list of the principal varieties of garden vegetables and on this list is indicated those-. varieties of out- standing, merit for Canadian condit- ions. Pamphlet 111. (New Series) is available without charge on applica- tion to the Publications Branch of the Department at Ottawa. Why .a Farm Budget Writing in the Economic Annalist, official organ of the Agricultural Ec- onomics Branch, Ottawa, A. E. Goss elin, endorsing the budget system for farms, says:— "Budgets help the farmer to work out the bestcombination of crops and live stock, .to make a good distri- bution of labour throughout the sea- son, to determine in advance the am- ount of seed, fertilizers, feed and oth- er supplies likely to be needed during the year, the amount of cash neces- 'sary to operate the farm and when .it will be needed. Budgets help also in determining the total net returns that ntay be expected, so the necessary financial arrangements may be made to meet living expenses, payments of different kinds, and to make the nec- essary adjustments between the prob- able expenses, and the estimated re- turns. Budgeting is a common prac- tice used by commercial firms, public agencies, and Governments. It has also been recommended and used with success by leading farmers of different countries."
