The Herald, 1910-11-25, Page 2OP BULLETIN, 1910 The following statement of crop condi Cons in Ontario on the 1st of November, based upon the returns of a large num- ber of correspondents, has been issued by the Ontario Dcpertrnent of _A.grirul- ture. It is the final crop bulletin for the year; Fall wheat --While a number of corres- pondents speak of the yield and quality of fall wheat as being the best for years, others complain of the grain be- ing less plump than usual, owing to dry weather at the time of filling. Taken as a Whole, however, fall wheat may be classed as better than an average crop. Spring wheat—Less spring wheat is be- ing grown than formerly. Goose wheat being the variety chiefly raised. The crop was fully up to the standard this year . in every respect. :The new fall wheat ----1n increased acreage of wheat has been sowu this •fall, and as most favorable conditions existed at seeding. and since that time, the crop is now looking most promising. In fact, some correspondents express 0 fear that the young fall wheat may have too much top for entering the winter. Barley --This grain has turned out well, taking the Province over. The sam- ple has generally plump, and while some discoloration evils reported, that is not now considered a serious drew - back. as most of the barley ratted il'1 tine Province is fed to live stock.

When harvesting nate were harder to gather than in the case of the other spring grains. rye --Thi; grain is not Largely raised in Ontario. but where grown it is claw- ed this season as from fair to good. Peas ---This erop has been somewhat disennraging to nan$t growers this year. The vines suffered from ilrouth. and a green aphis also affected them. ns 0 re- sult the pn41s were but poorly filled in most eases. The pea weevil was also re- ported in several localities. Mixed grains--Cerreepoudents are hardly as enthusiastic over the grnw- ing of mixed grains as they were a year ago.:11a:ee, J41 barley and l)aubeney: oats are still the favorite mixture, while some prefer to add peas. Peas; and oats, and oats, barley and peas, also hive their advocates Corn—While spring vonditious were unfavorable for this crop, tate ''410111ner and fall were ideal for its growth, and the tern!

Clover Feed ---Ontario farmers are pay- ing. more attention than formerly to the raising of clover seed. The season has been a favorable one for this purpose. Potatoes—This erop is credited witlt a large average yield, ntol litany of the returns speak of their excellent quality. There are some complaints of rot on heavy soils. however. land also among some potatoes in cellars. Turnips --This class of routs has done better then eves expected when eorre- spnndents reported in August.

MI Ng Live Stock—Fall pastures have been all that could be desired, and. where not overstocked. have kept grazing animals in fine touclitioit. AlI classes of live stock have been remarkably free from serious diseases: in fact.. there is prac- tically a clean slate. horses are in con- siderable demand, and at higher prices than formerly. Cattle did unusually well on the grass. and all ages and classes can find a ready market et better values than for many years. Young beef ani- mals especially are bard to procure. There have also been too few sheep for the demand. A large and steady traffic has been done in swine. The recent drop in market values has checked sales some- what, but the supply on hand is barely normal. All over the Province a larger number of silos than usual have been erected this year, many of there made of concrete Dairying—The milk flow was well maintained by the excellent fall pas- tures, thus prolonging the dairy season. Butter has gained upon cheese, taking the Province as n, whole. As between butter and cheese, prices have rather favored the former, and the Local demand for butter appears to be increasing. The general quality of both creamery and home made butter has been high this year. Poultry--'i:he good prices obtained for poultry products this season have led fanners to give more attention to this clusiry, iaggs have been in great demand all season at paying prices, and chickens fit for market have also commanded high rates. Common farmyard fowl have been alin0st completdly exempt from disease, but complaints have conic from some of the Lake Ontario counties of serious losses among turkeys from a disease known as "blackhead." The wet weather of July also WAS hard upon this class of. poultry. Geese and duels have kept in good condition. Farm labor—Seip on the farm has been scares this season, especially in the ease of experienced and capable men. The consensus of opinion 10 that little Or no change is likely to take place in the Kate of wages in the near future. Do- mestic servants are .almost impossible to secure, the attractions of the town being greater than those of farm life for the great majority of girls. Threshing and marketing—while some correspondents state that threshing !vas completed, and others say that clone has been done on account of the nab of other fail work,, the bulk of the re- ports were to the effect that grain sep- aration was well advanced generally. Grain has been moving but slowly to market, except where tomo farmers have been pressed for ready money' Fall Plowing—Reports as to the .pro- gress of fall plowing vary greatly, even in same localities; but as a whole the work was fairly advanced when corres- pondents reported, with prospects of completion in good time. Fodder Supplies ---farmers face the winter with more assurance than for years, owing to the general sufficiency of all classes of fodder. There is a sur- plus of hay, ranging from $S to $16 a ton, according to the nearness to good markets, and there is plenty of straw. The largely increased silo accommoda- tion, with the big corn crop, has lessen ed the call on other fodders. The abund- ant fall pastures, and the growing of 1ni.Ilet or Hungarian grass, have also en- abled the fanners to husband their reg- ular winter feeding supplies. As 113011l, considerable oil -cake. :and bran, shorts and other milt feeds will be purchased, but more charily than formerly, as the prices for all these commodities are high, and many farmers are now study- ing feeding equivalents. 'There has been a brisk demand for beef cattle, sheen and hogs, all the season, and this has left less live stock on hand than usual. ear a in winter when you have a Perfec- tion Oil Heater.

You can work on dull winter days in the full light near the 'window, without being chilled to the bone. The Perfection Oil Heater quickly gives heat, and with one filling of the font burns steadily for nine hours, without smoke or smell. An indicator always shows the amount of oil in the font. The filler - cap, put in like a cork in a bottle, is attached by a chain. This heater has a cool handle and a damper top. The Perfection Oil Heater has an utonlatitegockinte iF e spreader, which prevents the wick from being turned high enough to smoke, and is easy to remove and drop back, so the wick can be quickly cleaned. The burner body or gallery cannot become wedged and can be unscrewed in an instant for 'rewicking. The Perfection Oil Heater is finished in japan or nickel, is strong, durable, well -made, built for service, and yet light and ornamental.
