News and Information for The Busy Farmer (Furnished by the Ontario Department of Agriculture) .......... ...........................................—....... ------------■ Kent Soil Survey A survey of soils in Kent County, has been made in the past few months by Mr. J. Whiteson, of the Agricultural College. A map will be prepared showing conditions, and es pecially the icidity of soils. Five men Were employed on the project, the ground being marked out in sections and drillings taken at regular inter vals. The map''will be in some re spects a revision of one prepared in 0 1923. heavy grain feeding and close con finement. The bad feature of giv ing salts is that it tears down the calcium in the body. Molasses in the poultry ration will do the same thing as. epsom salts, and will not have the bad effects of salts. Besides molasses, is extremely rich, in vita- mine B, rich in minerals, and ranks high in. digestibility. It is richer in vitamin B than some yeasts, and is one of the few ingredients used in poutry rations not deficient in potash. Prosper Stabling Capacity While the cows are out on pasture is a good time to make any necessary alterations in the cow stable. The length and width of the cow Stalls should be adapted to the size of the cows in the herd. In most stables there are cows that are uncomfort- -able from standing in stalls that are too short and others that are need lessly dirty from standing in. stalls that are too lofifg. Here are a few gpnerdl dimensions for cow stables. For Ayrshires the stall length should be from 5,4 to 5 8 inches; for-Ho 1- sfeins, 58 to 56 inches, and for Guer- seys, ’5 4 to 5 8 inches. A good plan is to have the platform gradually lengthened from one end of the stable to the other and then stable the cows according to length. Potato Growers Benefit The Central Ontario Potato Grow ers’ Association, which has a large number of its members in Simcoe County, was very successful in its operations of last year, the first . year of the organization, and plans are under way to greatly increase the membership and the quantity of potatoes handling by this Associa tion. During the marketing season ■ of 1929-3 0, 75 cars of T. P. Brand po tatoes were handled, 50 of which were grown in Simcoe County. Prices received were very encourag ing, being equal to the prices for Maritime potatoes on the Toronto market and averaging 2i5c per bag higher than No. 1 Ontarios. At some shipping points the price re- ’ eeived for the T. P. Brand was over 50c in advance of local prices. As a result of the encouraging pro gress of. the past year, it is expected that the membership in the Associa tion will be doubled during the com ing year with a similar "increase in volume. Owing to the fact that •■only the best grades ot potatoes are .■accepted for sale and that all pota toes must be inspected in the field, io insure freedom from disease, the Association does not expect nor de sire any phenominal growth as qual ity not quantity is the foundation on which is Association is buildng. ______ f Norfolk Apple Orchards F. C. Patterson, Agricultural Rep resentative at Simcoe, reports that Norfolk County’s commercial apple •orchards, on the whole, appear to be in much improved condition, As .-.a result of the orchard and spray service and consequently the increas ed use of fertilisers, better pruning, ;and better spraying, the trees are vigorous, have good foliage, and in jects and diseases are evidently un- Aer good eontr’ol. The 1930 crop will not be as large as' the crop of 1929, but there is promise that it' will be of an excellent quality. The new precOoling and cold stor age plant recently erected by the' Norfolk Fruit Growers Association Will extend the marketing season, ..and generally improve the situation for the apple growers of the county. Molasses for .Hens Almost every poultryman finds it necessary to give the birds epsom ■salts occasionally, in order to over come constipation, as the result of Tp’uring Northern Ontario The twenty-third annual confer ence of the agricultural representa tives of the Provincial Department of Agriculture is being held in Northern Ontario this year in order to give the representatives the op portunity to see the clay belt at first hand. The party will go as far north as Kapuskasi?ig, visiting the agricultural sections and points of interest en route. The sessions of the. conference will be held at the Northern Academy at M’onfeith, which was. formerly the seat of the demonstration farm but is now an educational institution under the supervision of the Ontario Depart ment of Agriculture. The party left North Bay on the night of July the 29th for New Liskeard from whence trips to various points of interest were made. The sessions at Mon teith open on Thursday, and on Sat urday the party will visit Cochrane and Kapuskasing, returning to Iro quois Falls on Monday night. The return trip home will taike place on Tuesday. ’ <t The Crop Situation Cutting of fall wheat has been in full swing throughout the province during the past week or ten days, and in the majority of districts a good yield has been harvested. Re ports from the various representa tives indicate that spring grains are showing excellent promise 'and with continued favorable weather should give a splendid yield. Lack of rain is some parts resulted in the burn ing up of pastures. Alfalfa, clover and hay crops were generally very satisfactory. Some remarkable re turns per acre for the green pea crop for canning purposes were obtained.i .___ Judging Contests for Boys and Girls Judging competions for boys and girls are included in the prize lists for the big fall, fairs this year. The dates have been announced for the following competitions: C.N.E., To ronto, Sept. 3rd and 4th, open com petitions in livestock, roots and grain, fruit and vegetables, poultry and domestic science intencounty do mestic science; Ce.ntral Canada Ex hibition, Ottawa, August 18th and 19th., open competition in livestock, seed and vegeable judging and weed naming, domestic science, inter county domestic seoience; Peterbor ough Industrial Exhibition, Sept, the 10th, open competition in livestock and domestic science. Getting Ready i’Or “500 Party”’ In a recent bulletin to Junior Farmers’ Associations, J. E. Whit lock, assistant director of the agri cultural representative branch, states that definite records have been received from 39 counties and districts 111 connection. with the 1930 Royal "500 Party”, In these coup ties a total of 1745 boys between the ages of 16 and 20 years have defin itely enrolled, or an average of 45 boys per county. It is suggested that all Junior Farmer leaders 'en courage entrants to keep their re cords up-to-date so that they may be complete when called for prior to. the county Royal Judging Competi tion. ................... ....... ..... .............. ............„ ..| EDITORIAL » ....................................... .........................

These meetings were well attended. The speaking was vigorous. But' throughout the gatherings there were no interruptions. Each, speaker was al lowed to enunciate the policy to which he gave allegiance without his being interferred with in. any way. There was some cheering, but what was evident to any spectator was the seriousness, with which the public took the public speaking. Some were heard to say that they wished with all their hearts that some informed per son would deal with the vital issues of the day from a non-partisan Stand point. Apart from such quiet protests the speakers were given the best of fair hearing. Such electors deserve the best of public service, # ft * * * * * ft Congratulations are extended to the two political candidates who have just contested the riding in. South Huron. The battle of the ballots waged by them was a real struggle in which both could not be victors. Both parties fought vigorously but fairly. Neither candidate engaged in mudslinging or in unfair tactics. Neither used a war hatchet, but each appealed to the reason of his constit uency. Now that the people have made their choice, best wishes are extended by opponent to the victor in the election. The winning party in the country has its work cut out for it. It has serious thinking and a tremendously difficult task ahead of it. It must enunciate a vital policy and be prepared for severe but constructive criticism. These are not the days for carping nor for hesitancy and smallness. ' , sH ft ft ft * ft * 4 This week we noted a little group of tourists stopping for a brief rest. They entered one of our ice-cream parlors, refreshed themselves, walked abut town tor a few minutes and one asked, “What has. this* town' to offer'?’4 ’ That is the'way,■•of the ■right isort of tourists. - — This sort of tiling is occurring over and over again thus af fording Exeter her opportunity. Why should not our merchants benefit by such visitors? Here is a case in point; A visitor to a certain town remembered as he was on his way north that he had forgotten his golf stockings. He inquired at a store in a small town and was so well served that he purchased fifty dollars worth of outfitting. Nor is that all. For years he return ed to that store to duplicate his order. Being on the job is a great thing when the tourist trade is gasping to be served. Tourist trade is like a bird on the wing. It is. profitable—but shy.

We learned this from a turf gentleman, who told us some amusing cases. If a horse strikes tip a friendship with a rabbit and tlje rabbit wanders away, it can spoil the horse’s career. Almost every race horse has a dcai’ friend somewhere 1 in the stable (a dog, another horse, a man), and trainers are quick to recognize t,he importance of such a friendship..
