News and Information For the Busv Farmer (Furnished by the Ontario Depart- ment of Agriculture) The championship trophy at the 'Royal Winter Fair for the best half ;bushel of wheat,, held by the prairie Provinces for many years back, came 'to Ontario this year. The winner was Douglas Hart, whose farm is located n East Zorra, near Woodstock, He Makes a specialty of seed grain and -ins been a successful exhibitor on a number of occasions, •winning the Eaton special on barley at Wood- -stock Fair this year, Champion Potato Grower Simcoe County won a place on the -potato map of Canada at the Royal Winter Fair when the pbampionship for the best bushel of potatoes was won t by 1ditlund Maurice of Tiny Totwnship. The lirize of $15 in cash and a ;fold watch "suitably engraved is a much coveted honor and is al- ways keenly contested. Heretofore it has been \von by the Maritimes, i v e cnktliw victoryShould do a greatf deal towards focussing Public atten- tion on Ontario potatoes,' It is in- teresting to note that Mr, Maurice is a comparatively recent convert to the value of, growing certified potatoes, lrp until Iwo years ago his crop was of the nondescril>,t ,variety. Through .the. local bran hofth:Department t of. Agriculture he was interested in potatoes of the better kind, and now,: his Dooleys have captured the prem- ier prize for Canada. Winter Care of Live Stock With the approach of winter, far- mers should make sure that the barns in which their stock are to. pass the cold months are clean and free from possible infectious diseases' or para- sites. Most progressive stockmen whitewash their stables at least once a year, but frequent dustings with, an old broom are needed to keep the cob -Webs and dust down.

Ontario at International Ontario Grain Growers •have for- ir. Grain warded to the .Internatl, anal and 1 Hay Show at Chicago more than one. hundred entries of grain, grass seeds and corn. There were more entries for grain this year than in the record year of 1930 when Ontario growers won a championship, two reserve championships and forty-alhel prizes. The province is particularly well rep-` resented in the clover and grass- seed Classes, there being 16 entries of red clover, nine in soy beans, eight in al- sike, and seven in field. beans. Due to changes in the corn borer regulations, Ontario corn growers were able to exhibit corn this year. Some 20 .entries of corn of exception- ally high quality were forwarded to Chicago this year. The results of judging the grain classes will be. watched with keen interest by Ontar- io growers and exhibitors. Ontario Barley For Britain As a result of deliberations between. or parasites. Such diseases as ring- worm, scab or mange, lice or war- bles, are dangerous and each needs special treatment. Ring -worm is dou- bly dangerous because humans may contract it through handling or from. curry -combs and brushes. Tincture .of Minister of 'erne Hon, T. L. Kennedy, the Y, Agriculture, two cars of highh quality Ontario malting barley will shortly go forward to Great Britain, These cars are being shipped as a trial shipment by the Ontario Mar- keting 13oarcl, and if the quality meets be used to advantage in the fattening ration, Wheat has nearly the same fatteningqualities as corn, hut does not produce the rich yellow color of I flesh that yellow corn does: it is int, portant, however, that all grains be free from moldiness and they should be fort in hoppers tocounteract cer- tain diseases that cause heavy loss, Do not confine turkeys .s for fattening especially if they have been run on a range, for range birds cannot stand confinement. Sow Alfalfa "This is the year to sow alfalfa," stated Mr, W. R. reek, in announc- ing the plans of the Ontario Stand- ing Field Crop Committee to promote the use of legumes freely next spring. Ontario hada mood crop this year of alfalfa and red clover seed and it, is expected that both of these will be reasonable in price next spring. Al- sike may be included also as high tar- iffs discouraged export. Mr. Reek says: "As a soil builder, pastrue and hay producer, ,alfalfa stands supreme. At Ridgetown we practise seeding all, grain crops to alfalfa or mixture of alfalfa and other legumes. Even for plowing down, alfalfa opens up the sail and adds nitrates and other plant breaks there of foot-and-mouth dis- foods to a value worth much mare ease in over a satisfactoryperiod, An - than the price of seed.

Approval of this sample has ben expressed in the very practical and acceptable form of orders for two car loads of barley, one of 2,000 bushels for Dublin and another of 1,500 bush- els for London, both of which will be shipped from Montreal late in No- vember. Modify Cattle Embargo Ministerial Order of November' 9 removes the embargo on the importa- tion of cattle from the Old Country in, so far as Scotland is concerned. The order states that thfe removal is made because there have been no out - the soil forproduction tan of beans, the ) t 1 corn, fall wheat, and other crops.

Guelph Winter Fair On December 7 to 10 the 48th an- nual Ontario Provincial Winter Fair will be held in the city of Guelph. Prospects are that entries will exceed previous years. There has always been a particularly strong showing of horses, beef cattle, sheep, swine and poultry at the Guelph Winter Fair, and this year will be no exception. ' At few fairs is there as keen competition in classes for market animals, The Preparing Turkeys Turkey growers are now beginning to finish or fatten their birds for the Christmas holidays. It is customary to begin the process of preparing the. luscious turkeys for the nation's fes- tive dinner tables by feeding them small amounts of grain which gradu- ally are increased until the birds are on full feed. Due to the large supply of wheat available, this grain should ly to the advantage of Ontario and added profits to the farmers if our alfalfa acreage were doubled. "A campaign was conducted in 1925 and 1926" said IVLi•. CaralI, "which con- tributed to the rapid increase in acre- age from 381,000 in; 1924 to over 806,- 000 06;000 in 1927. In spite of very severe weather and poor seed crops, with high prices during the past four years our acreage is still under 650,000." Nurse—Bobby! What would your father say if he saw you'd broken that branch off? Bobby—He'd say trees are not so well made as they were before the war.

Apple Storage Facts For the past ten years the federal Experimental Station at Summerland, 13,C., has been making a special study of commercial storage practices in respect to apples and now issues, ,am- ong others, the following findings: (a) The commercial life of apples is influenced by the soil and climate conditions under which they are grown, by the stage of maturity at which they are picked, by the treat- ment they receive in the packing house, and by the promptness with which they are cooled, as well as by the conditions under which they are stored. (b) Even within one variety sub - l cation must state name and address jeer to similar treatment throughout of owner, location of sugar bush or the growing, harvesting, packing and storage periods, keeping, quality is materially influenced by size and rade. (c) The commercial life of many varieties can be materially extended by storing at proper temperatures. (d) .lore attention should be paid to harvesting apples, at the proper stage of maturity to ensure full dev- elopment of quality and maximum storage life, (e) Greater care in the handling of apples all along the route. from orch- ard to retailer is ,most desirable in order that the fruit may be delivered to the consumer in an unblemished condition. (f) Apples should be removed from storage ast soon as they reach prime eating condition, (g) The intelligent use of refriger- ation materially extends the time in which apples can be sold to the eon - sumer in prince condition, ' Finish and Pack Poultry `Farmers in the Campbell's lay ar- ca in Pontiac County, P.0,; are trying a new system in selling their poultry for the Christmas market. Most of orchard by lot number, concession,. township and county, and must also '; show number of trees in orchard and number of trees it is proposed to tap. During 1931 a total of 1,020 licenses to sugar bush owners were issued as well as' 24 licenses to manufacturers. Our Agricultural Wealth A statement issued by the Domin ion :Bureau of Statistics estimates the . gross agricultural wealth of Canada for 1931 at $7, 373,559;000. Of this 1687,225,000 • was represented by live stock and $54.852,000 by poultry on farms, a total of $742,470,000, Farm animals sold contributed $166,630,000, wool $2,311,000; dairy products $27'7,- 154,000; poultry and eggs $95,227,000, a total of $541,322,000 directly from live stock and animal products. Meat Inspection Service Probably one of the most valualbe services carried out by the federal Department of Agriculture is inspec- tion of meat and canned foods by of- ficers of the Health of Animals Branch. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 1931, a total of 66 meat packing establishments operated und- er federal inspection, Total slaughter amounted to 991,048 head of cattle, 774,675 sheep, 1,268,657 swine, 234,- 015 poultry and 25 goats. The high general quality and health of Can- adian live stock is evidenced by the fact that', only 1.46 per cent. of the dressed carcasses were condemned, The round purple stamp appearing on all meats dressed at plhnts operating under ;government inspection is an ab- solute, guarantee that it is fit for hu- man 'consumption. The pleat inspec- tion service is an important safeguard to Canadian health, Value of Fish Meal Dr. Frank 1'. Shutt, Dominion Chemist, in 'discussing the nutritive value of fish meal states "The use of fish meals in the rations of all c.lasses of live stock and especially in those for pigs and poultry is stead- ily increasnrg. These meals may, per - ht ps, be regarded primarily as sourc- es afprotcin,'bttt the fat, the mineral content and the iodhie are, also con- stituents of very considerable value Instock feeding," He points out also ,the poultry raised in the district ster rounding the Bay has been signed up for the scheme and it seems probable 1 ithat much added value will be real- izecl. Under the leadership of the se- sident Agronome and of the provin- cial Poultry Promoter for the district farmers are crate -feeding and finish- ing their poultry, and by arrangemes:.. with the Poultry Division of the Do- minion Department of Agriculture it will be graded, tagged and packed in boxes. It will be offered for sale by open bid on Assembly Day, Decen;- ber 10, and should prices not grove sufficiently attractive the whole tot as a pooled shipment will be shipped to Montrealfor sale through the tee- nal channels.
