Yield of Seed Crops
A larger than usual acreage of reel
clover has been cut for seed in On-
tario, the yield per acre varying froth
120 to 300 pounds. It is believed
that there may be from three to four
million pounds of seed which will
constitute the largest. red clover -seed
crop in Old Ontario for many years.
The quality of the seed is reported
good. The crop in Northern Ontar-
io is practically a failure this year.
Alsfke acreage in Old Ontario was
estimated 20 per cent. larger than
in 1928. ;and yields pee acre have var-
ied from 60 to 500•• pounds, low
yields being general in the southern
and lake counties and high yields in
the clay country between Toronto
and Georgian Bay. In Northern Ou-
tario, Teiniskamieg District, the to-
tal production of alsike is not expect-
ed to exceed 10,000 bushels, about
half as znuch as last year.
Alfalfa seed production. in Ontar-
io was again light in 1929. The ac-
reage left for seed is not believed to
have exceeded 10,000, which may
yield from 60 to 120 pounds per ac-
re, about the same as in 1928. An
abundance of sweet clover for seed-
ing purposes is expected to be avail-
able next spring. Timothy seed pro-
duction in Ontario is reported as
normal, a large proportion coming
frons the Navan district of Russell
County. Production of blue grass in
Southwestern Ontario is estimated at
50 per cent. of normal. The seed is
•reported to be particularly heavy per
bushel this year.

An apple tree, over a hundred
years old, remarkable for its sym-
metry and having this year pro-
duced 22 barrels of Calkin Pippin
apples, is attracting much attention
in the orchard of Downey Morton,
Lakeville, King's County, Nova
Scotia. Mr. Morton picked apples
from the same tree 55 years ago
and it was then a fully grown tree.
Today he believes it to be well over
the century mark.

tween the Canadian Pacific Rail-

Professor Knox of the Department of
Animal Husbandry. The ultimate
solution of these problems will prove
of direct value to every farmer.
Count the Cost
Farni profits are small. They are
limited by the selling price of pro-
ducts. and, perhaps to a greater ex-
tent, by the cost of production. The
selling price may be influenced by
organizations but each farmer con-
trols his production costs. It is
much better to feed and mills five
cows which each give a profit than
ten which pay costs only. To raise
crops cheaply there must be a high
yield. The cost for the farin, or
per acre, or per cow (foes not toll
much. Comparison should be on a
ton, bushel or pound basis. -

Curbing Cannibalism
Prof. W. It. Graham, head of the
Poultry Department of 0. A. C., has
a good suggestion for curbing the
frequent outbreaks of feather pull-
ing and cannibalism when pullets
are first put in confinement. Such
an outbreak occurred at the college
plant this fall. A quantity of fresh
raw blood was obtained at the slau-
ghter house and given the pullets to
drink. In fifteen minutes the appe-
tite had so abated that it was safe
to put back in the pen the pallets
that, hacl been -previously attacked.
One gallon of blood was given to
each 100 pullets. There Inas not
been a renewal of the thouble.
Wintering Bees
"Experience has shown that it is
better to winter bees outdoors than
in the cellar unless you have an ex-
ceptionally suitable cellar," says ,F.
Eric Millen, Provincial Apiarist.
"Eighty per cent. of the honey bees
in Ontario are wintered in various
wintering cases `outdoors. In old
Ontario almost''every beekeeper win-
ters outside, but in Northern Ontar-
io cellars are used extensively. ,For
successful cellar wintering, the cel -
'lar must be absolutely dark, dry and
kept at an even temperature of about
45 degrees. Poorly insulated and
damp cellars make poor winter stor-
age places for bees. Wintering bees
outdoors means more expense, but
unless one has an ideal 'cellar title
method is recommended. Bees can
be packed any time in October or
early November, and need no atten-
tion utnil spring if properly prepar-
ed for winter. Outdoor wintered
bees rust be kept in water proof
winter cases.

Shrinkage of :Potatoes
Experiments conducted by the Di
Vision of Botany, Dominion Depart;-
silent of Agriculture, show that the
shrinkage of potatoes while in stor-
age practices are followed. All tee
,bers placed in storage should be ma,
ture, healthy and as free from mois-
ture on their surfaces, dirt and me •

chanical injury as possible. The stor
