News and Lnlformatzon For the Busy Farmer (Furnished by the Ontario Depart- ment of Agriculture) Better Farm Contest The Richmond Hill Agricultural Society has decided to inaugurate a "Better Farm" competition this year for which a silver trophy has been secured. The contestants, it is stipulated, mast be bona fide farmers, residing within a radius of 12 miles from the village of Richmond Hill, which is a short distance north 'of Toronto, and cultivating 60 acres or more. The judging will be on the basis of neat- ness of ground and surroundings, the condition of buildings`, state of culti- vation, freedom from weeds, and the care and quality of live stock. Guelph Dairy School. Results Another group of Dairy Short Courses has just concluded at the Ontario Agricultural ' College, at Guelph. A total of 194 were regist- ered this year and the students came from many countries, and from all i'6eep a Caoto4 of Six Lamps in the h'oase fi .

Australia, Denmark, Holland and the Provinces of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and Quebec had representatives in the class. The most of the students, as usual, came from Western Ontar- io. F. D. Harrison of Burgessville, Ont„ headed the proficiency list, and C. L. Machan, West Monkton, Ont., was second. Care of Baby Chicks Fresh, clean water is of vital im- portance for baby chicks. It consti- tutes more than one-half of the chick's body and in addition it helps to soften and digest the food, plus assisting in the carrying of waste out of the system. For the first .week the chicks should receive luke-warm water. It is generally .dangerous to put any. disinfectant in . the drinking wat- er. Some may poison . the . chicks, while others do not go so well with the feed. Clean lukewarm water giv- en in clean drinking fountains is by far the safest. Make it a point to thoroughly clean the drinking ves- sels once a day, and if convenient, scald them, If not using a wire floor in the brooderhouse, it is best to put the drinking fountains on - a platform with a wire cloth top. This . will keep the chicks away from the wet litter, brought about by the water they spill. The litter around the drinking fountains offers a wonder- ful chance for infection of coccidi- osis and kindred diseases. Corn Growing Competition A record enrolment of remembers for the 1931 Junior Half -Acre` Dent Corn Growing Competition for Trent County has been received at the De- partment of Agriculture office, Chat- ham: Already 150 young people have entered and more are expected. This compares with 110 entries last year. The cornpetition is open to any young boy orgirl, in the county tinder 18 years of age. The types of corn to be distributed this year are .Yellow Dexit, Golden Glow, White Cap, and . White Dent. An increased interest in corn -growing in the eoun- ty' is said to be largely responsible for this effort upon the part of the young farmers. On Feeding Hogs With an abundance of low priced coarse grains and wheat available there is an apparent tendency on the pare of farmers to overfeed their market hogs. This is shown by the increase in the average weight of hogs now tooting on the market. The two hundred' pound hog is the,I ideal market weight. With the price of, lard, what it is today, ;relatively lotve r' than ''the price of invite it is the bacon type wlueh means money to the peoducer. Farmers should watch hog feeding closely to guard against both right weigth and excess fat-ehe must keep away from the oat - Weight grades: if he is going to get the top of the market. for his hogs. Co-ordinate Junior Work Having as its main object the co- ordination of all junior farm and club work of the various provinces, thus bringing it into line with a na- tion-wide agricultural policy, a new organization known as the Canadian Council on Boys' and: Girls' School Club Work, has been established with headquarters at Ottawa. A per- manent secretary has been appointed and the new plan will come into op- eration at once. Boys' and Girls' club work has become a very vital factor in determining the quality of live stock and other classes of pro- duction in most provinces, and while the provincial agricultural authorities will continue to supervise their farm clubs as in the past, the new organi- zation should result in greater co- ordination and greater uniformity of policy. The new Central Council will sponsor the holding of national championship contest and exhibits at the Royal Winter Fair, Toronto, for swine clubs, calf -feeding and for cattle -breeding clubs, potato, poultry and seed grain clubs. Nearly 15,000 Canadian farm boys and girls, repre- senting some 820 clubs, are engaged in some ,form of agricultural club work. Ontario has 143 clubs with. 3,253 members. Sow Good Barley Seed Ontario producers of barley for the industrial market have received real encouragement in the form of a guar- anteed minimum price. But this guarantee applies only to better class barley of a grade equal to the stand- ard leid down in the Grain Act fur No. 8 Extra, This quality reciuire- tnent should create a greater interest by growers in the seed they put in the ground this, spring. According to available information, the supply of real high-class seed barley in the pro- vince is abundant and the price rea- sonable. A compilation of statistics over a period of 47 years shows that barley has oiutyielded oats by approximate- ly 160 pounds per acre, while in years of unfavorable 'weather, such as 1930, the increase amounted to twice this figure. Barley also .helps in planning crop rotations. In one sea- son, it provides an opportunity. to clean 'up the land, to grow paying crops and to seed down to the best advantage with hay for the follow- ing year, Current Crop Report According to the reports of the Agricultural Representatives, fall wheat is doing exceptionally well and even fields that did: not have a 'good top last fall made a rapid recovery and prospects are that fall wheat will. be an, average or even better crop. Cloversand;alfalfa that were not up well last fall, due to weather, are looking well. There will be consider- able increase in the acreage of alfalfa; this year due to two factors: one that the seed is very reasonable, in price, and the other that alfalfa de- monstrated last fall that it would withstand dry weather better than any other hay or clover crop. There has been a. very great demand for certified Irish Cobbler seed potatoes and indications are that the acreage i1■111111 l 11911110111111111NOS 11MIN111II 11■11■11hAANR111 es Maitland Crew cry• ■ ma ■ ■ We will eta ;; t pooling ■ on April 13th ■ ' ■ Advance Price .. 14c ■ ® DELIVERED WINCHAM ■ ■ al THE UNITED FARMERS' CO.OPERATIVE • COMPANY ; LIMITED. ■ Wingham, . - • Ontario. ■ Phone 271 $ viii.■■imin ■mu■■ anima®■seis»iesusir- gest Warned OOL EG S of this variety will be increased from 10 to 20 per cent. Live stock, es- pecially cattle, came through the win- ter in excellent shape. Many farmers are reporting heavy losses of young pigs. These losses are considered by some to be due to the heavy feeding of grain to brood sows. Clean the Cornfield There have been rumors that the Corn Borer Act would not; be enforc- ed this year. Such rumors are un- founded: The Provincial Entomolo- gist in March' called a meeting of the corn borer inspectors, discussed with them theirduties and gave in - was a very 'importaint factor in de- structions that there should be no slackening up in the enforcement of the act, He said the borer was just as dangerous as ever and the only safeguard against. serious loss to the corn lay in a thorough clean-up ev- ery year, each farmer doing his share. It was pointed out that the—weather termining whether we could get a re- duction in the number of borers in any particular year. Some years the weather would favor the insect so much that all a good clean-up wouldl do would be to prevent a very large increase. Other years the weather would help us and there would be a decrease. rarrallMarrararralra rorratorram _ uslarrasaperorwros ororramorwra rrarmorwr Co sider ints You ar V vFenc:a Will it resist rust How great is its strength ?
