SELECTING PULLETS FOR WINTER EGG PRODUCTION (Experimental Farms Note) Egg prices are invariably higher in winter than in summer, hence winter egg production is one of the important factors contributing to' a Profitable poultry enterprise. Win- ter egg production is influenced by breeding, feeding, health and general management of the flock.

EinisommulanelOSSOISIONa At the Experimental Station, Fred- ericton, pullets are selected from high producing hens and males are used whose dams have been good winter: producers as well as having a high total production. Pullets should be selected which are healthy, welldeveloped, vigorous and typical of the breed they represent. Pullets of the' heavy breeds should be hatched in April preferably about the fifteenth of the month. Pullets of light breeds should be hatched during the latter part of ' April or early in May. By hatching at that time the pullets will have time to develop sufficiently before being brought into production. There seems to be a correlation between body weight and size of egg so if pullets are forced into poduction before they are properly developed, egg -size, may suffer. Young birds should be fed on a good growing ration. More vigorous birds will be obtained if they are al- lowed free access to range which is abundantly supplied with green feed and provision should be made for rearing away from adult stock on ground that is not e4pntaminated. In- testinal parasites are a very serious menace to the poultry breeder and they can best be controlled by rear- ing chicks away from the adult stock on ground which has not been rang- ed for at least a year and which in the meantime, has been ploughed and seeded. Birds should be brought in from range the latter part of Sep- tember and placed in winter quart- ers with plenty of ventilation and al- so placed on a regular laying ration.

DEPTH OP PLOUGHING (Experimental rearms Note) • The question of the best depth to plough kr grain and subsequent crops has beetsasked by many inter- ested in the question of improved methods in agriculture. An experi- ment was started in 1922 at the Do- minion Experimental Farm, Nappan, Nova Scotia, to secure data that might answer this question in so far as a medium to heavy clay loam soil is concerned. A five-year rotation of swedes, oats seeded, clover, timothy, oats is followed. The timothy sod is plow- ed at 5, 7 and 9 inch depths in the fall on three of the plots, while oth- er plots are ploughed 5 and 7 inch- es deep in the spring. The nine-year average yield of oats following the fall ploughed plots is 47.6 bushels, 45.6 bushels and 47.2 bushels per ac- re respectively for the depths given above. The plots ploughed 5 and 7 inches in the spring have averaged 40.6 and 40.7 bushels per acre res- pectively. The yield of swedes the following year after the land was ploughed at these depths varies from 17.17 tons per acre for the 7 -inch spring plou- ghed plot to 18.96 tons for the 5 - inch' fall ploughed plot, not a signifi- cant difference. ignificant-difference. These results reveal the following points of interest: (1) The deep ploughing of sod land did not bring about an increased yield in grain; (2) There was no appreciable in- crease in the yield of swedes grown on land that had been ploughed deep the previous year; .(3) The results in- dicate that fall ploughing will give appreciably higher yields than spring ploughing on medium to heavy clay soils. DRIVERS OF COMMERCIAL VEHICLES FIGURE" LARGELY IN` AUTO ACCIDENTS It is difficult to understand how drivers, expert enough to be in. charge of commercial motor vehicles. could be involved in over, 1,900 acci- dents, in one province, in one year yet that is Ontario's, record for 1031, Last year 110 commercial vehicles were involved in fatal accidents. 1,088 were involved in accidents in which personal injury was sustained. These are official figures, furnished by the, Motor Vehicles Branch of the Ontario Department of Highways. • It is to be expected that the use of commercial vehicles in the Prov, ince will continue to increase. It is. therefore of the utmost importance that drivers thereof take warning from last year's appalling experience, And it is equally imperative that drivers'' .of pleasure cars and pedes- trians co-operate in an effort to put a stop to the senseless, needless kill- ing and maiming of humans on On- tario's streets and highways. .T'..nra,',;7ec%n' .wine Shoot 1,t- h: The European pine shoot moth was imported into Canada in recent years and is rapidly becoming a seri- ous menace to many species of pine grown hi this country. Scotch pine, red pine, jack pine, and mugho pine are particularly susceptible to attack, Every owner of ornamental pine trees, pine plantations or natural pine 'forests, especially in Southern Ontario, is urgently requested to co- operate in an attempt at an early eradication of this pest. Cut off the infested shoots and buds in the fall. A valuable service will be rendered by reporting any infestation to the Dominion Entomologist, Department of Agriculture, Ottawa. No postage is required on letters sent to the above address. Census Farr. Figures Figures released by the Bureau of Statistics in connection with the census taken last year show that the number of farms in Ontario has de- creased from 198,053 in 1921 to 192,- 174 in 1931, a difference of 5,779 farms. The number of Ontario farms by acre content is given as follows: 1 to 10 acres, 15,934; 11 to 50 acres, 80.605; 51 to 100 acres, 68,620; 101 to 200 acres, 58,295; 201 to 299 acres 9,451; 300 acres and over, 9,269. Another report shows the number of automobiles. on Canadian farms to have increased front 157,000 in 1921 to 321,300 in 1931. Ontario has by far the largest number of cars, 125,716. It has also 14,586 motor trucks. Other farm machinery is listed as follows; Tractors 19,000,. gasoline engines 45,000, binders 124,- 000, threshing machines 8,400, cream separators 127,000., milking machines 4,000, silos 35,700, electric motors 9,600. A total of 32,294 farms in Ontario have gas or electric light, 41,380 have radio, 103,392 have tele- phone, 20,154 water piped in the kit- chen and i2,179 'piped in the bath- room.
