Sixty Plowing Matches Planned
Interest in plowing matches is in-
dicated by the list of local matches
to be held this fall, issued by J. 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. •

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

the present 'populations'if it were pro-
perly used, but it was still not being
used properly.
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

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

Small loans furnish just one more example of the service

Along with two excellent relish re-

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.
