Why Canadian Bent.

It is so fine that h takes a 70 mesh bottom, screen in cleaning, and runs around 6,000,000 seeds to the pottnd as compared with 600,000 to. the pound. for "Chewing's fescue."

Selling Campaign Under auspice, of the Ontario Grower.' Market Council, a selling c tnzpaign on potatoes has- been laun- ched. The Council is urging the tlwusarele of employers in Ontario to - purchase ten bags each of home- grown potatoes, and at -the same time to induce their employees to do sime ilarly. The employers are asked to make arrangements for financial as- sistance,- if necessary, -for the pur- chase of these potatoes, and to furn- ish storage space for thein, An ap- peal is• also made to the farmer to register with the Ontario Growers' Markets Council the following infor- formation: Number of bags for sale, the variety of potatoes, and whether the potatoes will be government in- spected. 1;y -virtue of• this campaign it is hoped that the fanners of On- tario will movie between five and six million dollars worth of potatoes in the next few weeks. This should have a stimulating effect on all lines of business, in addition to taking a great load off the farmers' shoulders.

BEWARE OF RMITAT1OHS Layers Need a Real Home While there are many factors that enter into the management of the poultry flock, there is nothing that will have greater influence on the poultry raiser's success or failure than the way in which he houses his flock. Birds of good breeding, no matter how well fed, will not return maximum profits unless well housed. The poultry house is the hen's home, and to be comfortable and give good production, the house should have proper ventilation, insulation and san- itation; it should have a proper loca- tion, plenty of light, be dry, and have ample floor space. Why Burn Straw Stacks? When with the use of suitable chemicals they can be converted in- to manure the question "Why. burn straw stacks?" is really pertinent. Straw is worth something more than as a bedding material, and not the least valuable is its use for the mak- ing of artificial manure. The use of 100 pounds of ammonium sulphate and 100 lbs. of lime • to each ton of straw, and this thoroughly soaked with water produces a manure of dis- tinct fertilizer value. From three to six months are requi-eed for the or- ganic changes to become effective, and the resultant substance has much of the appearance and practically the same value of barnyard manure, Keeping Poultry Accounts The increased demand for farm egg and poultry accounts forms supplied by the Poultry Division of the Dom- inion Experimental Farm, Ottawa, is strong •evidence of the real value to fanners of keeping a consistent re= cord of revenues and expenditures connection with the farm 'flock, Results of records kept last, year slio wthat 92 per cent. of the flocks for which .accotints were submitted operated at a profit, and what is more interesting, the flock average produc- tion for the year was 132 eggs, which maintained a fair measure of profit for each birch.

Many farmers who have been burn ing coal and saving the woods will be turning back to the bush for their fuel because of the depression. In cutting a bush the owner should con- sider the future• more than iii most other farm operations. in all bushes that have not been heavily pastured there are trees whose removal would benefit the remaining stand. These trees will make excellent firewood In moat of the bushes selection cut- ting should be practised, which is cut- ting trees here and then through the bush. In this way the bush is never broken as seedlings spring up in the small openings. Many fine young trees have been cut down during the past two de- cades to be sawn by the buzz -saw. These trees have just reached the stage to put on their maximum wood. growth, and often if left five years longer would put on as much wood growth as they have in the previous 25 years. The Forestry Branch will send a forester to look over the bush with the owner and advise him on its rnan- agement, Either leave your name with the local agricultural represen- tative or write to the Forestry Branch, Parliament Buildings, Tor- onto. The Forestry Branch also pub- lishes a bulletin on "The Wnodlut" which is sent on application. feed and the drastic break in the egg market prices in many sections of the Dominion. Buy Home -Grown Seed Corn Geo. R. Paterson, departmental au-, thority on seed corn, who has just returned from a trip through South- western Ontario, is rconvinced that the purchase of imported seed corn this year would be not Only unnec- ce•ssary but most impracticable. He points out that the crop in Ontario is one of the largest in history and the quality is exceptionally good. Mr. Paterson stresses the vital importance cf using only northern seal for plant- ing in a northern climate. The variet- ies offered in the southwestern see - tion of Ontario are well-suited to growing corn for silage, fodder, and grain feeding purposes both in this province and Eastern Canada. There should be no necessity this season of importing corn for seed purposes. Dealers may expect a higher stand- dard of seed this year, inasmuch as the inspection standards, to be • set in the near future by the Federal Seed Branch, are to he considerably more rigid. Inquiries as to sources of supplies may be directed to the following of- ficials; W, R. Reek, superintendent, Ridzetown Experimental Farm, of Ridgctown, Ontario;; S. B. Stothers, agricultural representative, Essex, Ontario; J. A. Garner, agricultural representative, Chatham, Ontario; W. P Macdonald, agricultural represen- tative, Petrolia, Ontario.
