For the Busy Farmer
Sheep Dipping Facilities
Approximately 10,000sheep and
'lambs are dipped 'annually in 48 tanks
located at various points in :Welling-
ton county, according; to R. R. Clem-
ens, district representative, These
tanks now cover nine outof twelve
townships. Numerous applications.
are already in for dipping facilities
and more are expected before the
,County Sheep Dipping Day which
has been set for June lith this year,
ghost •of the sheep are starved 24
hours before dipping and ,treated for
intestinal parasites before .they take
the plunge for ticks. External and
internal parasites are thus given a
setback at one time and very effect-
ively held' in check All sheep so
treated should be clipped now and all
lambs docked at "about, ten days old
and the sooner they are dipped in the
spring the better.
Approved Chicks in Demand
A heavy demand for approved
chicks is reported this '.spring, , with
the result that many of the approv-
ed hatcheries . have 'orders booked
which are taxing their capacity. May
.chicks mean November checks, and
that slogan, is one which seems to
have taken hold of the farmer's fancy.
A review of the egg market in
Canada during recent years shows
that higher prices prevail during the

late fall and early winter months be-
fore the flush of general production
cozies in. That is why the farmer
who buys approved .chicks early in
the season has :a better prospective
cash crop for the end of the year
than the farmer wlio hatches liis own
chicks later in the season. The uni-
foriziity of production and the high
quality assured . by government in-
spection and supervision which con-
trols the hatching of •approved chicks
is one of the biggest assets in the
development of a poultry flock.
The cash „returns frotn a 'pullet
flock of from 120 to 300 approved
chicks are a welcome and useful as-
set at a time of the year when oth-
er .crops have passed. May chicks.
become pullet producers in Novem-
ber, and raising chicks this month is
a much easier 'proposition than rais-
ing March and April chicks.
Sow Thistle
The fact that there is more cleared
land in Ontario than can be properly
handled with the available labor, has
played a part in the spreading of the
sow thistle 'and noxious weeds of all
kinds to .the great detriment of the
grain crops.
Mr. A, G. R. Smith, president of
the Field Crop Association, 'after
touring the westernpart of the pro-
vince with the seed train and meet -
mg thousands of people, is led to
suggest that oats be replaced to some
extent with other grain that will help
clean the land. Thia strands ,of oats
and, late ripening' shorts give a chane'e#.
for many weedsespecially sow this-
tle, to spread, inspectors report that
it is now found in every township in
the province. .
Midsummer plowing checks this
weed if weather conditions are at all
favorable., Seeding with buckwheat
gives a smothering growth that will
weaken if not killthe roots of the
thistle. It will also give a fairly pro-
fitable return at prices now prevail-
ing.
Planting Strawberries
The new bed of strawberries
Dig them wix a diggingg fork,shakehe
out the soil, garner them up quickly
and remove to some shelter where
they may be gone over, sorted and
straightened out preparatory to the
planting. The sooner they are plant-
ed the better, and just before doing
so, dip the plants into water so that
they are thoroughly wet, Thespade
is the best tool for hand planting;
and with a boy to
place the , plants in

the opening made with the spade,
two people working together can
plant very rapidly, even 800 to 4000
or more plants per day, All blos-
soms should be removed the first
year to enable the plants to produce
an abundance of strong runners and
should be planted now. Obtain new new plants in order to form the mat- Newsletter, Federal Dept. of Agricul-

may be used to advantage jp,t after
the plants have startedixito growth.
Sharp .'Freezing Keeps Corn -on -the:
Cob Fresh
Sharp freezing corn on the cob is
the latest addition to the rapidly in
p
creasing. list of '"quick-frozen" fresh
foods. The corn is frozen within 3:
or 4 hours after -it is taken from tale
field. , When it is thawed out weeks
Or months later it possesses the fresh
flavour that is much better than the
ears of corn which are sent to the
big markets fresh.—Cold Storage
