Wingham, Ontario H. Buchanan Hardware Wingham, Ontario R. J. Hueston Gorrie, Ontario FARM NEWS AND VIEWS Published by direction of Hon. Robt. Weir, Minister of Agri- culture,. Ottawa, 1931 Spraying and Profits The Economic Annalist, official organ of the Agricultural Economics Branch of the Dominion Department of 'Agriculture, is authority for the following statement: "Growers in the Annapolis Valley of Nova Scotia who obtained the highest receipts per acre of bearing orchard, dusted and sprayed more than five times. The majority applied five to six sprays. The cost per acre of spray material in this group of farms was $11.50 and the receipts per acre $152.31. Twelve growers spray- ed and dusted more than six times, 'but the increased return just about equalled the increase in cost per acre. The average expenditure per acre for spray and dust material on 124 farms was $11.42 and the average returns on these, farms $135.92 per acre." Tobacco for Britain In the annual report of the Dir- ector of Experimental Farms the fol- lowing comment with respect to the inarket for Canadian tobacco in Great Britain appears: "In general it may be said that the Old Country market continues to be the most promising export outlet for Canadian leaf. High quality, both in the leaf and pack are essential. Secondary for low grade leafs are being developed notably in Belgium and to some extent Germ- any and the Netherlands:" Prevent Chick Loss Among the factors which contrib- ute to the huge total of chick Ioss annually, most of which are prevent- able,, are included chicks Stolen; chicks poisoned from eating salt, rat poison, paint from old cans, drinking sour milk from galvanized dishes; chicks drowned in puddles or so. chilled in rains that they die; chicks stepped on by attendants, horses or J AA IIC F "r&y L t '.0'" A small deposit made from every salary cheque will soon build up a comfortable savings.

R.O.P. Foundation Stock One of the best ways in which to build up the real worth of the farm poultry flock is through the use of R.O.P. males: Record of Perform- ance for Poultry at the close of the eleventh year shows continued pro- gress. The following excerpt from the report of the Dominion Live Stock Commissioner - will interest farmers who keep poultry: "During the present time of low prices for 'farm produce, it is doubly import ant that every unit of production be of the utmost effeciency. The more, eggs per ton of feed that fowls can be made to produce the more profits to the owner. This result can be ob- tained through increased production per bird, and the basis of this lies in the breeding behind the bird." The use of R.O.P. cockerels in approved flocks supplying eggs to hatcheries entered in the federal hatchery ap- proval scheme is the effective way in which the benefits of this work is being passed on to the benefit of farm flocks generally throughout Canada. Bee Battalions Fly With the arrival of the bright sun- ny days of spring and early summer and the wealth of bloom new growth brings, the bee battalions resume the annual work of storing honey. Can- ada's annual honey crop ranges into millions of pounds gathered in at ap- iaries located throughout the entire Dominion. We all know that the proverbial busy bee sets a commend- able example, and that huge stores of honey accumulate in the healthy hive. A better appreciation of the magnitude of •the task which is the bees' in building up their stores, is afforded by figures just released by the Bee Division of the Dominion Department of Agriculture. As the result of a series of studies conduct- ed over a period of five years it has been found by weighing hives that an average of '31,000 bees per hive wing their busy way in search of sweet nectar from day to day during the height of the season. Weighing Hay Stacks Actual weighing is the only accur- ate way of determining the amount of hay in a stack, but there are a number of ways of estimating it. The variousmethods employed seek as ac- curately as possible to arrive at the number of cubic feet in the stack, then to divide this figure by the num- ber of cubic feet per ton. First find the length of the stack, then its width, for the third dimension, mea- sure the distance over the' stack from the groundon one side to the ground on the other side by throwing a rope over the stack. With these three mea- surements multiplied together the ap- proximate number' of cubic feet in the stack will be found by dividing by one third or one-quarter. If the stack is so built that it slants toward the top from close to the bottom of the stack, one-fourth of the product is taken; if the stack goes up perpen- dicular or straight for about half its height and then slopes toward the top, one-third of the product is taken. Treating Seed Potatoes Naturally, the aim of the potato grower is to produce the biggest and best crop at tate lowest possible cost. This is dependent upon a' number of factors such as good soil, quality of seed, spraying and cultivation. While the importance of these features is unquestioned, very often the prospect of a good crop is ruined through ne- glect to practise seed treatment which is aimed to reduce the enor- mous losses and inconvenience caus- ed by scab, black leg and rhizoctonia, all of which occur in every province of Canada. The commonest method used to treat seed potatoes is forma- lin treatment. A solution of one lb, of formalin to 40 gallons of water is made tip and placed in a barrel, The seed potatoes, uncut, are placed' in a -sack and suspetided in the li- quid for two hottrs when the bag is pulled up and the solution allowed to I drain back into the barrel. Then the seed may be cut and planted, OLD DOC IS BIG HELP TO ELDERLY PEOPLE TOR'S IDEA t In 1885, Dr. Caldwell made a dis- covery for which elderly people the world over praise him today l Years of practice convinced hint that many people were endangering their health by a careless choice of laxatives. So he began a search for a harmless prescription which would be thoroughly effective, yet would neither gripe nor form any habit. At last he found it. Over and over he wrote it, when he found people bilious, headachy, out of sorts, weak or feverish; wi•h coated tongue, bad breath, no appeti• or energy. It relieved the mos obstinate cases, and yet was gent) with womee, children and elder/. people. Today, this same famous, effective prescription, known as Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, is the world's most opular laxative.
