Golf is a form of ivorlt made ex­ pensive enough for a man to enjoy it. it is physical -and mental exer­ tion made attractive by the fact that you have to dress for it in a $200,- U00 clubhouse. A golf cbrse has eighteen holes, seventeen of which are unnecessary and put in to make the game hard­ er. A ’’hole” is a tin cup in the centre of a ‘'green." A "green" is a small parcel of grass costing about $1,98 a blade and usually lo­ cated between a brook ’’and a couple of apple trees or a Jet of "unfinish­ ed excavations." The idea is to get the golf ball from a given point into each of the eighteen cups in the fewest strokes and the greatest number of words, The ball must not be thrown, pushed or carried. It must be pro­ pelled by about $200. worth of cur­ ious looking implements, especially designed to provoke the owner. Each implement has a specific purpose .and ultimately some golfers get to know what that purpose is. After each hole has been complet­ ed the golfer counts,his Then he subtracts ,s.ix and "Made that in. five. ‘That’s above par. Stliall we play for cents on the next hole, Ed?" After the final or eighteenth the golfer adds up his score stops when he has reached, eighty­ seven. He then has a swim, sings "Sweet Adeline' with six or seven other liars and calls it the end of a perfect day,—Nation’s Business, News and Information for The Busy Farmer (Furnished by the Ontario Department of Agriculture) Farmers in sandy districts are now engaged in plowing, Frost left the ground early this spring owing to the aridity of the scftL In many sections it is how in good ■ condition for workage and early seeding oats and barley is expected as a suit, of re- strokes, says, one fifty hole, and .Ontario’s Celery Market Capturd tor Ontario growers the celery market in this province which for years the United States has been supplying, is the aim be­ hind negotiations conducted by the Department with growers of the Thedford, district. The . suggestion has been made that a cold storage plant be established at Thedford, Celery requires a special system of refrigeration and cooling which is not available at .present and which would raise the standard of the pro­ duct to enable it to compete on t.he open market. Investigation is pro­ ceeding in regard to the possibiltles in this direction. o£ On Monday, April 13 th Ailsa Craig will vote ‘ on a 'by-law to raise the sum of $16,000 to pay for improve­ ments to the school also to erect an addition and to install a heating plant and running water. in Rain and sleet, sun and snow, heat and cold—elements that play havoc with ordinary fence, have small effect on “OJIBWAY’ Farm Fence.

Results for 1930 of the Peel County Cow Test­ ing Association were presented at a recent .meeting. The twenty best cows averaged 12,557- pounds of milk and 445 pounds of butterfat, whereas the twenty poorest cows only averaged’5,267 pounds of milk and 210 pounds of butter. It is felt that' the culling of low producers would 'alleviate the surpls milk pro­ blem. in Toronto. Over 100 cows were entered during February in the cow-testing work, which brings the total number being tested monthly for milk and butterfat production to nearly 900 cows at Brampton. Barley vs. Corn Recent declines in the prices ot form products have been far more serious in grains than in live stock! ■and this deMine has been greater; proportionately in barley than in! wheat,. This situation presents ari opportunity to farmers, feeders and-' .poultrymen who have been accus* tomed to depend upon imported corif Barley foi* general feeding purposes is equal to corn in value, In spite of this fact, there was im­ ported months of corn storage els of lriph quality Canadian barley? selling at less than half the price of' the imported, feed. Scores o,f experiments in Canada? have demonstrated the value of bar- ley as a carbohydrate feed. Barley is particularly suitable for producing an excellent quality -of bacon and may form the bulk of the ration for hogs. In additiaii, it caii be profitably fed to dairy cattle, heef* cattle and poultry. . It is pointed out by an authority that the extensive use of barley foit feeding purposes will not only im­ prove the economic position of thet Dominion but will also result in low­ ered production costs to farmers and poultrymen. W. A* Ross of the Vineland Sta­ tion recommended that if the pres­ ent spell of fine weather continues,, oil spraying should be commenced in! pear .orchards immediately or at least as soon as it is possible to get on the land with a spray machine,- No oil spraying should be done IE' the temperature is1 near, at or belovr freezing.

T. L. Kennedy in con­ junction with federal authorities. Recent investigations have shown that Britain brewers and malters an­ nually purchase about 21 million bushels of barley from This barley is especially making, b?er. . A variety hard, sex-rowed barley, at the O. A. C., is now being grown here and. is equally as good. Onta­ rio farmers could produce 100 mil­ lion bushels of this barley every year if there was a market for it. Cali­ fornia barley has Veen bringing *76 cents a bushel -on tlie English grain exchanges, while cost of shipping is 15.40 cents a bushel. ' Ontario could ship at about the same cost. Cal­ ifornia .farmers have been receiving 53.6 cents for their barley at Sap Francisco, while Ontario farmers re­ ceive less than 40 cents. British brewing interests are reported to be willing to give the Ontario product a trial, but want to be assured of a sufficiently steady supply to meet their needs. Buy Quality Seed "As never before in the. history of farming should care be exercised in the purchase of seeds for planting this spring,” is the advice of one well-known authority, who adds that it is doubly important to make sure that purchases have been, govern­ ment-tested as a result of last year’s drought and the reduced supply of high quality stock. He warns against buying bargain seeds where price alone is the only description given, because reliable seedsmen do not approve of advertisements where seeds are. offered at stipulated prices without any indication as to their quality or origin. It would actually be cheaper to buy the best the mar­ ket affords than to t’ake the poorest as, a gift he concludes. Fertilizer on Tomatoes Five field tests with tomatoes were conducted last summer by the *. Department of Chemistry, OA.C., ifS' various localities, medium to light? loam soils being chosen. Good pre­ paration was given to the soil and.' an average application of 750 lbs. of fertilizer was made at the timG healthy, vigorous stock was set out in the'spring. The 'five tests showed an average yield of 174.2 bushels per acre where* .750 The 54.9 gain els. was tion of 750 lbs. represents an invest­ ment of $14.60. Valuing the in­ crease in tomato yield at 50c. per? bushel, the gross return was $59.60_ Investment in fertilizers was $14.60, ,henCe the net return was $45. per acre or the tomato growers made' over three for one on their invest­ ment in fertilizers. Fertilizers us­ ed in these tests were 2-12-6, 0-14* 5 and 4-8-10. lbs. of fertilizer was applied., unfertilized section averaged: bushels per acre, giving a gross; from fertilizing of 119.3 bush- The cash cost of the fertilizer' $39 pei~“ton/ hence ah applica— potato and Seed Show -The Potato and Seed Show at Shelburne recently proved a successful 'and instructive event.

Thomas L.:. Kennedy, Minister of Agriculture, announces a policy of assistance in the matter pf reduced freight rates on agricultural limestone. The C.N.R. and C.P..R. Compa­ nies have agreed to reduce the pre­ sent tariff on pulverized limestone to be used by farmers to the amount of 25 per cent, and the Provincial and Federal Departments of Agri­ culture in co-operation will' grant further subventions to the combin­ ed amount of one-half the remain­ ing freight rate with a maximum of $1,00 per ton. On limestone screen­ ings that now enjoy special freight rates the two governments will grant subventions' amounting to one-half the freight rate with a maximum of $1.00 per ton. In order to take advantage of this assistance purchasers must order at least a minimum carload of thirty, tons. Where this minimum amount is more than is required by individ­ ual farmers they will be encouraged! to group their orders in order t-G take, advantage of the tariff reduc­ tions.
