Labor Cost Important It is said that the cost of feed is the most important item in the cost of producing milk. It will amount to about one-half of the total costs. Labor, however, is a strong .second. According to num erous surveys on this comment, the average cost of labor involved in the production of 100 pounds 'of milk constitute 'about 25 per cent, of the selling price.

For meeting the dif ficulties of this trying month, he suggests: Control of flies, protec tion from the hot sun, ample supply of cool water, and the use of ‘a -suc culent feed to supplement dried-out pasturage. The first of these three measures can be best secured by the use of a suitable spray. The se- provided by shade which cond may be trees in the pasture under the cows may feed and rest out of the sun. Another method is to stablt? the cows in the day and let them pasture at nght. Shading and screening the windows provides added coolness in the barn and also helps to control the flies. For the third, a succulent roughage may be fed as a supplement to pasturage. Ensilage or corn give very good suits. re- Opens Friday, Aug. 22 "'LES VOYAGEURS”—Brilliant grandstand spectacle "Les Voyageurs” depicting the glorious romance of Canadian development.

Smth of New Hamburg, who is district weed in spector for Western Ontario, advises farmers to be on their guard. Mr. Smith, reports that many fields sown to spring grain in districts where the weed was hitherto com paratively unknown, are at present a source of worry to farmers. He points out: “If a perennial sow thistle plant comes to bloom it will mature its seeds unless the plant is burned. Farmers should not thresh their grain outside 'because blooms will spread over areas, each seed having a bloom which will carry and stay up in the air hours.” He advises farmers cultivate gang plow or plow immed iately after harvest on fields that are not seeded down. It is impor tant to keep sow thistle from blooming or going to seed where- ever possible: More than 850 weed inspectors are now at work in On tario and every farmer should make a point to report the presence of this weed to the nearest represent ative..
