Sunflowers—A New Grain. Crop
Until recently the production of the
sunflower hi Canada was restricted
chiefly to its usefor ensilage in areas
not suited to thg production Of corn,
and to a lesser extent in the garden,
where it served to provide seeds
which were eaten% much as peanuts
are, or as a border flower.,
Interest in the sunflower as a: grain
crop came about largely because of
he shortage of edible vegetable oils
n ;Canada soon after the outbreak of
he present war, states Dr. T. M..
Stevenson, Dominion Agrostologist,
Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa.
The ensilage , varieties which were
all growing and late maturing, -were
ot suited as a grain crop in most
reas. -However, other types were
vailable. Canadian plant breeders
ad, some years prior to the out-
reak of war, recognized the •possi-
ility of using ‚th sunflower as a
rain crop, chiefly as a source -of veg-
table oil. They set about to develop
arieties suitable; •for • grain preduc-
on on a large scale. They decided
rat of all that such varieties must
e semi:dwarf in habit of growth and
arty maturing so„ that theycould be
arvested satisfactorily by ordinary
rm. machinery. Furthermore, -the
ew varieties had to meet certain
andards of perfection respecting oil
ontent and oil quality.
The two outstanding -varieties
hick resulted from that work are
unrise" and "Mennonite." Approxi-
ately 30,000 acres of these varieties
ere grown for grain in the prairie
ovinees in 1943. It is estimated
at this crop will yield over 18%
illion pounds of seed. This crop is
pable of providing 4% million
ands 4% million pounds of high
ality edible oil and more than 2,-
0 tons o; excellent, high, protein
1 meal suitable for stock feed. In
dition, there will be an abundance
seed available to enable us to
eet the 50000 acre objectiye set for

The development and production of
Jain/ewers for grain constitutes an -
her worthwhile_ contriblition from
griculture • to the war effort.

Selecting 'Hatching Eggs

and, the craeked, rough shelled and
dirty eggs removed and used for
home consumption. Den't incubate
eggs weighing less than 24 . ounces,
or more than 26% ounces per dozen.
Pullets, hatched from -the smaller
eggs will tend to lay small eggs while
the larger eggs will not hatch. well
on the average, states Dr. S.' S. Man.
ro, Poultry Division, Central Experi-
mental Farm, Ottawa.
Research work conducted for th
past four years on various Experi
mental Farms across Canada ha
shown that the specific gravity of th
fresh laid 'egg is a good indication
of its thatching power. -' The specific
gravity of new laid eggs depends on
the proportion of shell and those eggs
with sound strong shells hatch bet -
than those with weaker shells.

11 strength which can be ' carried
without breaking the egg is the

Horse Sense in Horse Health
Veterinary authiirities point out
that in this mechanical age there are
farms on which the horse is one of.
the most neglected animals. Horse
blankets are almost unknown, and the
curry comb and brush have long since
disappeared. Athont the only .redeem -
mg feature on Seine farms is that the
horses are allowed to run out, so -they
have the opportunitY, at least partial-
ly, to take care of themselees. Yet
the horse is still one of the most -
valuable Sources of farm power. Pro-
per nourishihent is extremely import -
apt to the 'horse's well-being, and is
one of the three -essentials in main-
taining the health of the horse. Tbe
second essential is that when a horse
is not working he should be given
the run of the pasture or a lot large
enough to afford ample -exercise. The
third is that the horse should ha a
good shelter to protect against sevei
wind and cold,
•and floor, • and -the-rafters-are all se
mortar., Necessary ventilation is
provided by weighted sliding win
dowp. The $800 includes an allow
ance for 'logging, sawing ,of the log,
and the services of the planing mill,
including the assembly of the
wn-
dows. . One bricklayer and one car-
penter Were employed to Build the

Two thousand ptrunds of lime and
60 bags of cement were required to
Set the cedar blocks and for the -low-
er floor w.hich is cement. Cedar

ings. All wood blocks should be pro-
perly air dried liefore being used.

Sulphur Feeding and Lice
There have been some reports that
cattle lice could be •combated by feed-
ing sulphur to the affected cattle.
This idea, however, was exploded by
the results of an exhaustiveexperi-
ment published recently in the Jour-
nal of the Anierican Veterinary Medi-
cal Association. Sulphur was fed
continuously to cattle, for two hun-
dred and fifty-seven days, without it
having any effect whatsoever on lice
on the animals, the report states.
Neither did sulphur feeding seem to
have any effect on ear ticks.

The Special Products Board states
that by the end of the third week in
Janual7 it has succeeded in buying
for export"lo Britain twice a ,smany
eggs as it had obtained 'by the same
time a year ago. This season's egg
purchases by the board amounted to
284 carloads at the end of the"-weeli
mentioned. By the corresponding
•
week end of 1943 purchases totalled
129 "Cars, and were only 121 cars in
1942. •
Most of this season's increase has
so far come from the Canadian West,
which formerly lagged behind East-
ern Canada in surplus egg, „produc-
tion. The western
provinces thave

'his time a year ago; Ontario and
Quebec are 63 cars ahead of last
year.
When the board began buying eggs
for Britain early in the war, it ex-
ported them in the shell. But in 1943

• Proteinlor Pigs
To feed pigs properly, they must
be given both the right quantity and
the right quality of feed. Farm
grains are lacking' both in quantity
and quality of proteins, ith minerals
and vitamins, and so do not satisfy
the needs of -the pregnant or nursing
aow or growing pigs. To. farm grains
must be added feeds that are rich in
protein, minerals and vitamins. With-
out these additional materials, growth
may be slow; and pigs may he weak-
