at local points xli'akes, white field
beans an attraetive crop to all fann-
ers living in Central and South Hur-
on.
Buckwheat is another crop that
can be sown late. In fact it should
not be sown ,before +th'e' middle of
June and can be sown up. to July let.
Buckwheat is adaptabfle to a 'wide
variety of soils and will yield fair
returns even on soils which lack in-
fertility. Farmers, with low lying ar-
eas or who have had crops drowned
out, would be well advised to consid-
er sowing buckwheat.
Millet also offers. possibilities as a
grain crop and its equal in feeding
value to oats and almost equal to bar-
ley, and should b� ground and used'
with the regular grains. Siberian and
Empire Millets have been two of the'
beat producers of seed. In order to
be assured of. the production ,of a
seed crop, it is suggested that Mil-
lets be sown not later than June 15.
Turnips, which may be sown up to
the third week in June, may also be
considered in areas suitable for the
production of this crop. Labor neces-
sary for thinning this crop may be re-
duced by 'sowing at a reduced rate
per acre.
Although the Dominion Government
has requested a 10 per cent. increase
in potato acreage for Ontario, there
will quite likely be a decrease of 20
per cent. below that of last year, ac-
cording to a recent survey. In 1942.
there were 122,000 acres grown which
was the second lowest potato acre-
age for Ontario that has ever been
recorded during the past 60 years.
Potato yields per acre were also low-
er last year, and there were heavy
losses from Ieafhopper and blight•in
jury.
One of the principal reasons• given
for reduction in acreage this year is
the difference in price between certi-
fied seed and ordinary table' stock.
While both• are difficult to obtain,
growers feel that ceiling prices 'should
have been established for certified
seed. Shortages of labor on farms
and difficulty in . obtaining labor-sav-
ing machinery, are also factors effect-
ing maximum production.
Very few crops ,produce as much
food nutrients peracre as do pota-
toes, and owing to transportation dif-
ficulties, it is logical that every ef-
fort be made to produce maximum
amounts of food close to consuming
centres. While demands for potatoes
may be expected to reach a maximum
high next winter and spring, a reduc-
tion in the Ontario potato crop will
tend to complicate food and transpor-
tation 'difficulties at that time.
Therefore, it is important that in-
creased production per acre be secur-
ed •.-this`--yew:"-Best" care' pb'S ib7:e'
should be. given the Ontario potato
crop in 1943 by way of using suffici-
ent amounts and proper kinds of fer-
tilizers, giving proper' cultivation, and
protecting the growing plants against Food Board announced jointly Thurs-
1 insects and disease. To avoid loss 1 day last the establishment of a series

Oh yes, don't forget :that wartime
garden. There is aG111, plenty of time
to Put in a worthwhile garden on ev-
ery farm. Food is going to be scarce
neat winter for everyone in...Canada.
It is the duty of every farm and town
family, to have a garden ,this year.
Next • week the imrportant. .s'ubjec't
of shipping turnips. will be discussed.
• Home Grown Protein*
Since there is a shortage of pro-
tein concentrates for feeding live-
stock, fewer brands are being manu-
factured and the protein, content of
these brands has been lowered, it be-
comes obvious that Ontario farmers
should, where possible, make an ere
fort to produce as much protein on
their farms in 1943 as they can. This
statement is made in full recognition
of •tile shortage of labour.
Good pasture containing legumes
will provide about all the protein
that will be required by the animals.
during the summer months, while
early cut hay with a high percentage
of clover and alfalfa will furnish
much of next winter's protein for`our
dairy cattle, but the remainder will
have to come from other sources.
There are two grain crops, field peas
and soyabeans, that contain a con-
siderable amount of protein and will
produce morepounds per acre of this
material than any other crop that can
be, grown in Ontario. While it is re-
alized that it is rather late to offer
this suggestion, from the standpoint
of supply of seed, in view of the late-
ness of the season and the probable
yield of cereal grains that are sown'
from now on, and the nutritive value
of them, it would be well for consid-
erationto be given to the wisdom of
sowing soyabeans if steed can be pro-
cured. There are, varieties of soya -
beans that are suitable for almost ev-
ery' 'district in the older part of On-
tario. Of these, the Mandarin is an
excellent variety for all southern and
central counties. • Further north, from
Bruce, across through Victoria to
Eastern Ontario, an earlier vlarielty
like Kabott or Goldsoy would be saf-
er. In the extreme southwest corner
of the province, a latevariety, e.ty; knov,n
as the A.K. does very well and the
Q.A.C. No. 211 has been found satis-
factory along Lake Erie.
With •respect to the type of .land
that is best for soyabeans, they will
grow well on most types of soil ex-
cept stiff clay or. .sand. Land that
will produce corn • is suitable for soya -
beans. Fall ploughing is 'best. Spring
ploughed sod, will have a tender y to
dry out. The best time to sow soya -
beans is between May 15th and .May
25th, although they will grow fairly
well if sown later. Thefield should
be well cultivated or harrowed before
seeding to destroy weeds as they
start to grow. The best method of
seeding is to sow with a grain drill
in rows 28 inches apart atthe rate
of 45 pounds per acre.
It is realized that' this suggestion
is 'rather late -but,' in view of the late-
ness of the season for Ontario, it
would be well to give some thought
to the production of more protein -

The beef cattle market will be pro-
tected from any undue dropin price
which might :result from meat ration-
ing through market support given by
the agriculture department's purchase
of beef in periods of surplus supply,
when prices might ordinarily be ex-
pected to fall
"Arrangements now completed car-
ry: into 'effect the statement of Gov-
ernment policy made inOctober,1942.
At that time it was stated that the
schedule of. maximum wholesale pric-
es for beef reached on May 27, 1943,.
would remain in effect indefinitely,
and that steps would be taken to en-
sure that beef cattle prices were sup-
ported at levels appropriate to the
fixed ceiling.
"Throughout the next 12 -month -per-
iod the wholesale beef ceiling will,
therefore; be a flat one, on the level
reached on May 27th. At any time
during the year when the market is•
not oversupplied, cattle may be ex-
pected to sell at prices equivalent to
the wholesale beef -ceiling schedule.
"In periods of surplus supplies the
market will be supported by Govern-
ment
overnment purchases of 'beef through , the
Department of Agriculture at prices
which, without piercing the ceiling,
will maintain the floor which now has
been established.
"From May 27 to August 14 the
floor price for carcass beef will be
one-quarter cent per pound below the
maximum wholesale prices set by the
Prices Board in its order194. From
August 16 to September 18 the floor
price will be one cent below the ceil-
ing, and from Sept. 20 to Dec. 18 it
will be maintained at th,e level of
last year's 'ceiling during that period,
21/4 cents below this. year's
ceiling.
"On Dec. 20, the floor price will be'
raised by one-half cent a pound, and
further one-half .cent increases will go
into effect on Feb. 7, March 20 and
April 24, 1944. On April 24, 1944, the
floor price will be back to a point one-
quarter cent below the ceiling.
"Of primary significance to beef
cattle producers is the fact that from
Sept. 21 to the end of the following
April the floor price maintained will
follow a curve corresponding exactly
to the ceiling* price schedule of the
past winter. It will be of interest
to producers who annually,. purchase
=feeder, cattle that during .the, late sum-
mer and fall period, support to the
market is being, provided on a level
which: . follows the normal seasonal
trend. •
"From the supplies of beef acquir-
ed by the Department of Agriculture,
reserves will be built up sufficient to
take care of domestic requirements
under rationing in period of short
supply. Beyond that point the rest
will be available for shipment to our
friends and allies overseas.
"The Agriculture Food Board in the
Department of Agriculture 'and the
foods administration of the Prices
Boald will continue to co-operate
closely in all matters relating to the
supply and distribution of beef and
other meats."
It also was said the rationing sys-
tem as applied . to farmers ensured
they would not be confined to one,
variety of . meat—the meat 'they ob-
tained from their own herds: Through
the use of ration coupons, the farmer
could obtain meat from other farm-
ers.
It was estimated that while 90 per
cent, of farmers slaughtered at some
time of the year, 95 per cent. bought
meat in stores at some time of the
year and thus would require ration
coupons.
Beef rings would continue to oper-
ate, but the membership would be
limited to bona fide farmers and pro-
fessional men.
Under the system of stamping meat
the slaughterer will be required to
place his stamp on any meat killed
by him and to be marketed Carcass-
es will be stamped in several places
with this stamp, giving the Prices
Board name and the slaughterer's
number.
Live Poultry Price Ceiling Imposed
By Prices Board
' The Prides Board Saturday an-
nounced that the Foods, Administra-
tion has placed wholesale and retail
price ceilings on live poultry.
Live birds up to now have been out-
side' the general price -ceiling. It was
understood that the ceiling was or-
dered to guard against any' sharp rise
in price when meat rationing goes in-
to effect Thursday. Poultry will not
be rationed.
In. each Province the maximum
prices at which live birds may .be
sold are related to the prices. of cor-
responding kinds of dressed poultry.
Officials said ijive prices have been
out of line with dressed prices for
certain kinds of poultry and, "it is
necessary to keep strict Control of
all poultry prices."
Covered by the order are live chick-
ens, broilers, fryers, or roasters, ca-
pons or foulards and fowl—hens• and
old roosters—in file customary weight
ranges recognized by the trade.

A retail dealer or faitmer selling

must not exceed five cents g pound
