tf>T. JOSEPH ON THE DAKE
(By Bill Powl)
A scare head in a Toronto daily
over an Ottawa dispatch of March
2nd, said: "Canadian Syndicate
■<seeks powei’ rights. Heaed by On
tario man, group anxious to develop
jSt. Lawrence.” Examining the dis-
jpatch f-or the Ontario man, the ar
ticle said: "The syndicate, it is un
derstood, is headed toy N. M. Can
ton, of St, Joseph, Ont.”
Where is St. Joseph? It is up on
JLake Huron in the neighborhood of
<Jrand Bend, in what Huronites term
""the French settlement.” Somebody
3iad a wild idea of making St. Jo-
®sph a city in twenty minutes. He

a responsible position for which
there were a number of applicants,

MAPLE S^GAR INDUSTRY ACT
It is reported that farmers in var
ious parts of the country are con
sidering the abandonment of their
sugar bushes this spring,,because of
the licensing clauses of the Maple
Sugar Industry Act 1930, Unfor
tunately these farmers have mis-in-
terpreted the regulations, and, with
a view of righting this situation, an
explanation of the licensing and re
gistering clauses is noted herein.
A sugar bush owner who handles
his own product only, is not classed
as a manufacturer or packer, and is
therefore not required to take out
a manufacturer’s license on which
a fee of $20.00 is assessed. Regis
tration of a sugar bush may be car
ried out by. the Minister of Agricul
ture upon request of the sugar bush
owner; but this registration is pure
ly voluntary and free of charge.
Licensing of a sugar bush is not
required when the owner markets
all his product within the province
in which his sugar bush is located.
But if he sella any of his output in
another province or out- of the
country, a license is required, which
license will be issued upon applica
tion free of charge.
Farmers desiring 'registration of
their sugar bushes or requiring a
license, should communicate without'
delay to the Fruit Commissioner,
Department of Agriculture, Ottawa.
The recent heavy snowfall, which
was general throughout Ontario,
served the dual purpose of replen
ishing the water supply in places
where the shortage had been keenly
felt during the past three months
and of providing a valuable cover
ing foi- fall wheat and other early
crops. It is not often that the farm
ing. districts receive such a blessiiig
in mid-March and this may prove a
happy augury for a prosperous seas
on.

Weekly Crop Report
the reports of the agricultural re
presentatives throughout Ontario
■would deal chiefly with seeds and
seed problems. The most recent one
states tlmt seed cleaning activity in
Lanark;, where one large plant has
J?een running to capacity for scape
time. In Leeds many enquiries are
being received for seed grain. Win
ter conditions as reported from Mus-
koka and Parry Sound, have been
almost ideal for new seeding. Hay is
becoming scarce with the baled var
iety selling for $18 per ton. On
tario reports a heavy demand for’
both seed and sieve material for fan
ning mills. Large numbers of Reel
County farmers have -been turning
out for barn meetings at which ag
ricultural problems are co-operative
ly discussed. In Perth, • seed grain
is not moving as briskly as in other
counties. Live stock in Peterboro,
is in good condition generally, with
feed quite cheap. The same applies
to Prince Edward, Orchards and
fruit' bushes in South Simcoe have
wintered well because of the ipild
winter and good prices are being
obtained at sales. In Welland or
chards are receiving a,general clean
up and are in good condition, More
alfalfa seed than ever 'before is re
ported by Wellington.
FORMER RESIDENT DEAD

The third annual is-
been distributed free
5,000 farmers in the
an eight page publi
cation and contains a wealth of in
formation relating to the farming
industry. Almost every phase of ag
riculture as carried on in this county
is discussed, such as, poultry-breed
ing, reforestation, tobacco-raising,
fertilizers, fruit and vegetable-grow
ing. It also carries several inform
ative articles by O. A. C. authorities.
Numerous pictures of local interest
are used to .'brighten the .pages. The
local agricultural representative, F.
C. Paterson, who is also s’ecretary of
the Chamber of Commerce, has been
largely responsible for the success
of this valuable publication.
Southwestern Ontario is
this spring large quantities
corn of excellent quality,
tests have already revealed
iarly high germinating power, some
samples running as high as 9 8 to
100 per cent.
Regulations controlling the ship
ment of seed corn have been modi
fied and this spring any growers or
dealers in Old Ontario and Quebec
may' purchase their requirements
■and have same delivered on the coib
as was the custom previous to the
corn borer trouble. z
Seed corn grown and matured in
Ontario is better adapted to Ontario
conitions when used either for grain
or ensilage purposes than is the seed
corn imported from sections where
the growing season is longer- and
where. larger types of corn prevail.
Experience has proved that varieties
such as Golden Glow, Bailey, White
Cap and the Flints are best suited
to our conditions.
Prevailing conditions demand that
we purchase our' supplies at home
when they are available and are of
a satisfactory’ quality. The corn
growers of Essex, Kent and Lamb
ton Counties are this year in a po
sition to live up to the enviable re
putation as seed producers built up
prior to the invasion o,f the corn
borer. ■ . .
Purchase yur supply of seed corn
at home -and know what y.ou sow.

Cow. testing is ’ very important
Not all cows that give -milk are pro
fitable. The only way to, make sure
of these unprofitable cows is by the
systematic use of tue milk scales
and the. Babcock test.
Only land that will respond to
good treatment should be cultivated
at’ all. There, are many thousands
of acres in Ontario that will not pro
duce farm crops profitably and
should be .reforested without further
waste of time and1 energy. Every
farmer who applies in time can get
free 3,500 trees for reforesting
waste areas and 500 for planting in
wind breaks,
available at
Office.
This is the season for buying fer
tilizers and it is important that far
mers should know how to" protect
themselves in making sure that they
are delivered the kind and analysis
of fertilizer which tae-y • purchase.
The Federal fertilizrs act requires
that every .fertilizer delivered to; a
farmer must be labelled^ with the
guaranteed analysis in terms of ni
trogen, phosphoric acid and potash.
Therefore the’ farmer should .check
the guaranteed analysis of the fertil
izer when it arrives. If short one
per cent nitrogen, it is worth about
$2,50 a ton less than the purchase
price and phosphoric acid and potash
are worth about $1.00 for each per
cent. Purchasers are'advised to re
fuse acceptance of fertilizer which is
not labelled precisely the same guar
anteed analysis as that purchased
Should any farmer have reason to
doubt the value -of a fertilizer deliv
ered to him, he is advised to com
municate with the nearest fertilizer
inspector or the district representa

co-operating
in
packing their apples for export, have
made a wonderful'impression upon
the export market this season,”
writes Andrew Fulton, special over
seas fruit representative. He con
tinues: "The adoption of a uniform
standard of color and quality which
has been.maintained throughout the
season has been recognized by the
buyers. I would urge, however,
that growers, before another season
arrives, carefully consider the advis
ability of eliminating the multipli
city of brands that now exist and
to adopt one outstanding mark by
which Ontario apples may be recog
nized.”
A recent survey shows^that weeds
were responsible ifor a total loss of
between 150 and 200,/million dollars
in Canada last year. The direct loss
in crop actually displaced or killed
out by weeds was oyer one hundred
millions, while the remainder was,
made up of freight charges for carry
ing weed seeds along with grain,
clover and other crops, loss of mois
ture, depreciation osf farm value due
to weeds and ‘ the increase in culti
vation necessary whehe -these, soil,
robbers were present. TO; mitigate
this ‘loss, the land must be cleaned
up, 'Careful pre-seeding; cultiva
tion will clean up ordinary fields,
while partial summer fallow and the
sowing of smother crops like buck
wheat, rape and turnips are recom
mended for very bad patches of .such
