• In recent years, natural eases lrave
led to at least a temporary reduction
sof weed infestation in, various' places.
:In, some districts;; the prevalence of
•grasshoppiers has .resulted in a de-
crease in the • growth and vigor of
:sow thistle. A succession of dry sea-
sons has 'been followed by .less trou-
ble from• wild oats. Canada thistle,
- probably because of combined insect
damage and dry seasons, has prac-
tically disappeared from areas where
it was a great •peat a. few years ago:
However, the opportunity for re -in-
festation through a• c'ksnga in condi-
tions is a factor that has to he guard-
ed against. •
. The roots of wild bindweed often
penetrate• to the, depth of seven feet,
sufficient P1 nt food being
stored -d in
-the roots to keep the weed alive for
,two years. Concerning weed -damage
to crops, the Field Husbandry Divi-
sion, Dominion Experimental Farms
:Service, has found from experiments'`
carried: out at the Central 'Experi-
mental Farm,' Ottawa, that the aver-
age loss to grain crops due' to mus-
tard over a period of five years was
12.7 per cent.
'Costs in Relation to, Poultry Industry
• 'Coats...of-,production will ultimately
determine the whole course of the
Canadian: poultry industry, says the
(Dominion Department of Agriculture.
The .prices obtainable for poultry
products• will be governed in the
future not only by the competition of
from Other countries
Poultry products f 0
o
but also by the cpnipetition of other
Products in 'the home • market. The
:only way that continued profitable
production may be maintained is to
see to it that the costs of production
in Canada are kept dawn to the point
where . Canada can successfully com7
• Vete both at home and abroad.
The complexities of production
,costs• ,necessitate a- ,close = control of
operations in order . to avoid . waste
and prevent costs of production be-
coming too great. Bird mortality ie
a -big item in cost. Good health 'and
management go hand in hand. Good
Management is the controlling factor
in production costs.. -
Make Canadian Wool Compete With
Best -
Every year in •Canada,'"too large a
percentage ofthe total fleece -wool
marketed is more or less defective for
manufacturing ;Purposes. The defec-
tive or reject woof may be classified
'under .several heads, such as seedy
and . chaffy, burry, black or grey, wet
oi•'damp; fleeces Carrying tags, fleec-
es 'marked with' paint or oil; fleeces
tied with wrong material., -and-.•fleeces
from dead .sheep. It is this .unknown
quantity of reject wool in `fleece Wool
,rade up of tags, stained locks, burrs,
seeds and other, foreign material, to-
gether with the manner of rolling
and tying the fleeces, that constitutes
a serious objection by users of Cana-
dian wool, says- J. A. Telfer; In
charge of sheep production for the
Dominion Department. of Agriculture.
The Canadian wool grower, 'he 'said,
has evidently not yet fully appreciat-
ed
ppreciated • the fact -that his. clip must sell in
competition with clean well-prepared
wools from other countries, and
should make a greater„conscientious
effort to meet such competition.
The Dominion and Provincial De-
partments of Agriculture, recognizing
the urgent -heed for; itnproy&ement in
the preparation of Canadian wool for
market, ,decided in 1943, to encour-
age the wool growers by giving a

Soil Conservation National Problem
At the recent conference of the On-
tario Agricultural Representatives'
'held in Toronto, on soil conservation,
_Dr. E. S. Archibald, Director, Domin-
ion Experimental Farms Service; ob-
served that: there were many inter-
pretations as to the meaning of that
subject, one of the most popular be-
ing that soil `conservation embraced
all factors regarding good soil man-
agement for crop production. Actu-
ally, he declared,' the subject was
much broader than that,: The under
lying causes of soil deterioration ne-
cessitating a conservation program
must first be cured. These causes
were essentially the economics of
f,:rrming-.._..in relationship to 'other
walks of life. ' I
To restore proper conditions on the
vast areas of good le,nd was a much
greater problem in the .soil conserva-
tion program than the correction .of
soil erosion, curbing flood nuisances,
or even reforestation of sub -marginal
lands: A soils conservation program,
said Dr. Archibald, must be treated
Comprehensively with no undue stress
on any one item. The least :obvious
of losses necessitating a program
were the worst enemies, for example
the loss of soil fertility, loss of pro-
per soil tilth and organic life, and
the gradual but more serious enemy
inerosion, namely sheet erosion. In
all programs of soil restoration and
maintenance, grasses offered the
greatest aid. Too great emphasis
Could not be placed on. grassland im-
provement, greater use of grasses
.and legumes in rotations, and the use
of grasses toprevent erosion preman-
ently.
Reforestation had a big place in
erosion control,. but the farm woodlot
had else a very necessary part in
farm economy. In, Ontario, this part
of the average farm had been more
neglected than any other part of the
farmer's holding.' With regard to fer-
tility levels, they were by no means
simple and were so interwoven with
the organic life' of th'e soil that the
problem could not be dismissed light-
ly by merely advocating the use "of
commercial fertilizers. Also a knowl-
edge of soil type in relationship to
deterioration, retention ot productiv-
ity- or soil .improvement was funda-
mental to a. soil, conservation pro-,
gram.
The utmost in eo-operation 'by the
government departments, where gov-
ernment aid to farmers or educational
leadership among farmers, 'Watt need-
ed, and on the ether hand co-operative
activities among the farmers them-
selves was the secret to, any success
in soil •cou'servation; which was ,one
of the -most.- important problems in
the national existence of Canada.
