A. Carroll, Director of the Agricultural and Horticultural Societies Branch of the Ontario Department of Agricul- ture. Mr. Carroll expects that some sixty plowing matches will be held this year in various parts of the Pro- vince, and the interest of local ploy - men's associations is at a high level. At most of these matches, there will also be exhibitidts and demonstra- tions of labor-saving farm machinery and new types of maehinery which is being developed as a result of war- time experience. An Explanation of Weights of Fruits The regulations under the Fruit, Vegetables- and Honey Act establish standard, packages for mast fruits and many vegetables. Thra Act provides that—"no person shall', sell or offer for sale any produce in any package unless such package is well and pro- perly filled.” Net weights per stand- ard package or for a unit of volume, such as a bushel, are'not established in the Act or Regulations as the weight of -fruits and vegetables is likely to vary with the variety, size, condition and tightness of pack. • 4 * Decline General of Productive Land There is no longer an abundance of good productive land to feed and clothe the peoples of the world, said Hugh H. Bennett, chief of the Soil Conservation Service of the U.S. De- partment of Agriculture, in a recent address. In fact, there was not a single acre to waste. Through the reports of 36 countries on soil con- servation, it was known that soil was scarce throughout the world. There was barely enough to take care of 4.28*,atarg9114141,ie4i: •1.1mosivotk:- • 'rect4li:14.744ilfre imi:itsbuit rhami"PutdrdiZeysr"4 imoutorankr.

In the United States alone, said Mr. Bennett, 230,000,000 acres of soil (land exceeding six times the area of New York State) had been ruined by poor cultivation or allowed to be de- vastated by erosion. The United States had only 460,000,000 acres of good farm land that would be suffiet- ent to feed and clothe the population, if •the soil was conserved and if the population became stabilized. Stab- ilization did not seem likely in the near future. Industry and labor, as well as far- mers, had a large stake in their coun- try's soil. Business men and indus- trialists today were rightly concerned about their nation's productive soil and water resources. They realized as never 'before that these basic re- sources were linked directly to their country as a prosperous nation and the future of the world as a place for a growing civilization. Food play- ed a large part in winning the war and it would play a large part in win- ning the peace. Grain Crops Less Than a Year 'Ago According to the first estimate of Canada's 1945 grain crops, --the wheat crop is estimated at 321,409,000 bush- els. This is 114,000,000 bushels less than the crop of 1944. The 1945 out- put of wheat in the Prairie Provinces is estimated' at 297,000,000 bushels, as compared with 410,600,004) bushels last year. This year's crop includes 5,- 900,000 bushels of Durun wheat, of which 2,400,000 bushels were produc- ed in the Province of Manitoba, and 3,500,000 bushels in Saskatchewan. These two provinces produced about 11,000,00 bushels of Durum in 1944. The average yield of all wheat in the Prairie Provinces this year is 13.2 bushels per seeded acre, the average Yield for the entire Qanadian crop being 13.7 bushels per seeded acre, the -lowest since 1937. Ontario, the -4911y other important wheat growing area in Canada out- side 'the Prairie Provinces, produced 21,361,000 bushels of wheat in 1945, all but 706,000 bushels of that total being winter wheat. Although some winter wheat is also grown in Alber- ta, it is included in the spring wheat edvairals arise in any family Banks are continually making small loans to meet these emergencies which can upset the best -planned hudgets. Three out of every five bank loans are for less than $500. Mantof these are used to take care of such expenses as doctor oe hospital bills, temporary embarrassment at tax -time, a .sudden Journey, the wintefs coal bill. Again, educational needs of the family often arAnanced by small bank loans. These small loans enable individuals to consolidate debts, and to pay back from income. Small loans furnish just one more example of the service available to you at your hank. This AdvartiA.km**1 $Act r 4 „A Your Book, ' • • • g'• , • ,,. • :, • • . . . , .

Do Not Create Henhouse Slums Overcrowding of 'poultry is the source of many evils. Chilled, damp and ill at ease, poultry obliged to pass the winter in a congested, poor- ly ventilated henhouse soon lost their resistance to disease. In their weak- ened condition, they are increasingly pone to be attacked by parasites. When weak, they will probably go hungry. In an overcrowded henhouse there is rarely enough space for ev- ery bird at the mash hopper where only the hardiest can find room for their beaks. Consequently, feather picking and even cannibalism become more prevalent. Yet even the worst laying house can be improVed by the admission of more sunlight and by better ventila- tion and insulation. For every fifty hens, there should be at least 10 feet of feed hoppers. To be comfortable and healthy, each bird requires from 3% to 4 square feet of floor space, which should be planned for before winter begins. If the .present laying house is not large enough to allow this space for each bird, then winter few- er birds. CUll out the weaklings and retain only the healthy layers. The healthy layers make money and they make more when they are housed comfortably. 11011r 44(1-.0t1 a 4404;,41094F.9, rg.ogax, '04149/:.§sPAV).41J4 Appip.4;4,,,vii0x 404 tO 4)0214g pot a'40.9 .§t,40.4o 411,4llteA, 4.4.4 yezotattl, •ai4 reheat to Polilt, _PO:Pk la hot s0411140 ,j0§„,T Seal.
