THE DOMINION BANK ESTABLISHED 1871 A. M. Bishop, Branch Mgr., Wingham. 334 News and Information For the Busy Farmer (Furnished by the Ontario Depart- ment - of Agriculture.) • Canadian apple shipments for the present season to January 30th am- ount to 1,005,318 barrels, 27,727 half barrels and 1,240,302 boxes, as com- pared with 1,071,909 barrels, 15,350 hall barrels and 649,123 boxes for the corresponding period of last year. The personal factor is one of the most important in the successful feeding of pigs, declares a well- known hog authority. The successful hog feeder realizes that feeding is not merely a mechanical operation, but one requiring skill and close ob- servation of his animals, to obtain the maximum development and the greatest returns for the feed consum- ed. Test Fanning Mill Screens In the District Representative's of- fice in Wellington County, a small fanning mill driven by electric mo- tor, has been installed for the pur- pose of testing fanning mill screens. The farmers bring in a small quan- tity of oats which are put through the mill. It is then determined the proper screen which they should se- cure for their fanning mill. Many farmers have taken advantage of the service. Acreages of Home Grown Grains Re- quire Adjusting Oats form by far the greatest ac- reage of Ontario grown grains. There are five and one-half acres of oats to every arce of barley grown in this province; there are three and two- thirds acres of oats to- every acre of mixed grains; there are two and one- quarter acres of oats to every acre of barley and mixed grains. The average yield per acre of the above crops during the years 1922- 1929, according to statistics, are as follows: Oats, 36.7 bushels; barely, 32 bushels, and mixed grains 38 bu- shels. In pounds of grain per acre the yields are: oats, 1247.8, barley 1536, and mixed grains 1520. In terms of digestible protein per acre the yields are as follows: Oats, 109.8 pounds; barley, 138.2 pounds, and mixed grains 136.8 pounds. If farmers aim to produce more protein and thus lessen the amount of this costly nutrient they must pur- chase in order to balance their rat- ions satisfactorily, they should plan their cropping systems so that more barley and mixed grains will be then grown, fewer acres of oats and larg- HYDRO LAMPS "The Long ,,Life Lamps" it TM:, yAy "- Al.an 11 z des ped for Iffy re Sign ice send guaranteed /6'eepa C414 04 of Six Uncaps in the House Wingham Utilities Commission Crawford Block.

The first of these is the mortality rate of the chicks he bays and the second, their prospective ability as egg' producers. ft is estimated that a total of eighty million chicks will be required by Canadian farmers this year if ppul- try flocks are to be maintained at their present figure of approximately fifty million birds, allowing for an average mortality of 25 per cent. and a loss front predatory animals, etc. of five per cent. To take care of this demand, there has been a striking in- crease in the number of commercial hatcheries producing approved chicks and 1931 promises to be a big year in the poultry world. The Hog Market For Grain There is considerable interest for farmers in a statement recentlypre- pared by Canadian authorities from Canadian conditions as to the acre value of the three principal grain crops, wheat, barley and oats, when fed to hogs. The factors for consid- eration are the price of hogs, the amount of grain fed to produce,a lb. of pork and the acre yield of the grain concerned. It is found that if 400 lbs. of grain are fed to produce 100 lbs, of hog the per acre value of the grain, is: With Wheat Barley Oats hogs (Yield (Yield (Yield at 25 bu.) 40 bu.) 50 bu.) $10 $37.50 $48.00 $42,50 9 33.75 43.20 • 38.25 8 30.00 58.40 34.00 7 26.25 33.60 29,75 6 22.50 28.80 25.50 Western Feed Grain Ontario. Live Stock would be fed almost entirely upon feed from Wes- tern Canada instead of feed import- ed from the United States, under a scheme of Hon. T. L. Kennedy, Min- ister of Agriculture, which has al- ready been put. under way, The chief reason why Ontario live stock is not fed • on grains • from Western Canada is that cattle raisers do not care to run the risk of pollution of their farms by using Western grain, which contains a great quantity of weed seeds and wild oats. To overcome this obstacle Colonel Kennedy has appointed Howard Fraleigh, M.P.P., for East Lambton, to confer with Western Canada representatives as to the possibility of having all feed grains ground in the elevators before being shipped. This would eliminate the risk of spreading noxious weeds, as the seed would be ground along with the feed. Grow More Legumes The cost of suitable rations for farm animals determines in no small way the degree of profit or loss re sultant from live stock enterprise. Protein forms the basis of the cost of supplementary concentrates pur- chased to balance home grown grains. The amount of protein sup- plements one is required to buy de- pends upon thelamount of that nu- trient, present in the home grown feeds. The important thing for live stock farmers to accomplish, there- fore, is to grow as much as possible of, their protein requirements at their own farm. Legumes are rich in protein. Usu- ally they possess other valuable char- acteristics as well. Authorities on live stock feeding universally agree upon the value of well -cured alfalfa hay. Oats and pea hay is recommend- ed also by such authorities as Geo. Rothwell, Dominion Live Stock Com- missioner, and L. H. Newman, Dom- inion Cerealist. Legume hay mater- ially reduces the amount of high pro- tein supplements required and rend- ers more efficient the use of the home grown grains. Optimistic Reports The weekly crop report of the De- partment of Agriculture presents a most optimistic survey of conditions throughout the province, generally speaking, there seems to have been little winter .killing of crops while live stock in the main wintered well. Although rain had retarded seed- ing somewhat in Brant County, wells have been replenished and consider- able plowing has been done. Condi- tions of clover and wheat in Duffer - in continue to be favorable while in Durham alfalfa has come through the, winter in the best condition in years. Essex reports an increase itt tobacco acreage with farmers also interested in good seed corn. In Frontenac about 50 per cent, of the cheese fac- tories are running, with a good flow of milk. Ideal conditions prevail in Halctiniand, with no indications of any winter killing.. A plentiful supply of good, quality seed oats, barley and alfalfa is indicated in Hastings with a probable surplus of potatoes, Hur- on reports that fall wheat has with- stood ithstood;•winter and spring conditions with little Apparent injury, while this report is duplicated for Lambton, Middlesex indicates a heavy demand for good quality feeding cattle with these animals somewhat scarce. Live stock • hag been very active in this district i'nereased::interest in cattle is manifest in Beterboiouglt where 48 approved bulls have been placed. Prince Edward reports orchards in a promising condition. HURON OLD BOYS HOLD THEIR ANNUAL EUCHRE AND BRIDGE (Intended for last week.) A continual downpour of rain for five hours interfered- with the attend- ance at the Huron Old Boys' Annual Euchre and Bridge at Hygeia Hall on Wednesday evening last. However, notwithstanding the el etnentgs, a goodly crowd braved it and, carried on in the old Huron style. About twenty tables were used by the euchre players and the same num- ber for bridge. The prize winners for the euchre were: Gents -1st prize, M. Adams; 2nd prize, J. Lindsay. Ladies—lst prize, Mrs. Phillips; 2nd prize, Mrs. Jean Gilchrist. Mrs. E. Duncan won the ladies' 1st prize in bridge, and W. F. Mustard carried off the gents' 1st prize. At the conclusion of the games de- licious refreshments were served, un- der the supervision of Mrs. Vanstone the convenor of the •Refreshment Committee. New time and old time dancing was indulged in for the remainder of the evening. The following are the names of some of those present: President C. G. and, Mrs. Vanstone, Mr. and Mrs, J. A. McLaren, Mr. and Mrs. B. H. McCreath, Mr. and Mrs. H. B. Sfowe, Mr. E. Floody, Mr. and Mrs. L. M. Pringle and Mrs. Smith, Mrs. I. H. ,Brown, and Mrs. He sey, Mr, and Mrs. D. Thompson, Mr. and Mrs. H.

Everybody had a good time. Hon. President D. D. Wilson and Mrs. Wilson were unavoidably de- tained on account of the death of a near relative in London. They were much missed. Mr. and Mrs. F. Milne of North Bay were present and enjoyed the proceedings. As old Huronites, it was their first experience at a reunion. Mr. Milne comes formerly from Eth- el, Grey township, and Mrs. Milne was formerly Miss Detlor of Goder- ich, daughter of the late J. 0, Detler. Mr. L. Browne, a Seaforth old boy, son of a former Anglican clergyman there, was among the first arrivals. Mrs. Vanstone was ably assisted by Mrs. D. Thompson in preparing the dainty refreshments. Bert McCreath put the life into the dancing, as he always does. President Vanstone and Mrs. Van - stone are splendid entertainers, and did their part well. Secretary Floody predicts one thousand as the attendance at the next annual At -Home. Messrs. Robertson and Medd, M. 1'.P: s, were too busy at the Parlia- ment Buildings and sent their re- grets. Wm. Powell, head of the Publicity Department, was detained through pnessute of business, but watch out for him at the picnic in June. D. W, Dane, the high real estate man, was early on the job, as was also a good Howick contingent. All Huronites in Toronto, who are not already on the list, are request- ed to forward their names and ad- dresses to E, Floodw, Sec'y, 58 Close Ave,: Dr. H. R.
