The Exeter Times-Advocate, 1935-11-14, Page 6THCRSl>AY, NOVEMBER 11, 1935 THE EXETER T1MES-ADVOCATE Farm News Provincial Winter Fair The Ontario Provincial Winter Fair will be held at Guelph on- De cember 3, 4 and 5. Thi© is the 53rd annual Provincial Winter Fair, and it is expected that there will be a re cord entry in live stock, poultry and seeds. There will also be a junior agricultural department open to boys grain and potato club#, which is ex peeled to draw a large entry. In con nection with this there will be a judging competition with liberal prizes offered. Entries close on No vember’ IS. International Opens Nov. 30 Preparation^ are under way to re ceive a rec'rd breathing entry of live st'ek and fam crops at the 1935 International lave Steck Exposition which will be held far the 36tli year at the Chicago' Stock Yards. The Exp .sit: n will take .place fix nr No vember 3”th to December 7th. Tut- win no staged in the mamm th m w amphitheatre, con structed last year • n the same site as the 'wildings that had housed this largest st ek shew « n the continent. since 19i>0 and which were destroyed ! by lire in the Spring of 1934, *• ('ost of Horsepower Professor L. G. Heimpel of Mac Donald College, says: There are §192,174 farms in Ontario, and fig uring the h-arsepower cost at 12ae. per horse hour, or $1.25 per day, the horsepower bill for the .province •Would be $39,529,000 annually. There are also 19,00 0 tractors in Ontario and their operation beet per hour is in the neighborhood of 70c. Added together the horsepower cost and that of tractors brings the total bill to nearly $43,000,000 -per year. Both mechanical and horsepower re present actual expenditures, and waste of power due to dilapidated •condition of machinery causes loss es which are just as real as those due to low crop yields, or sales for lower than nominal prices. Bean Marketing Scheme The Dominion Marketing Board has announced more than 96u per cent, of the Western Ontario bean growers voting in a recent poll fav ored continuance of the Western On tario bean marketing scheme. The announcement said a poll had been taken also on some amendments to the scheme which have not been approved by the .government. More than 2,500 votes were cast in the poll and the favorable' ballots repre sented dwjner of more than 96 per cent of the acreage under beans. The poll was conducted by mail. The bean marketing scheme pro vides facilities for orderly market ing cf the product under • a local board e^talblished at Ridgetown, Ont. It has been in ^operation about a year and affects all growers of dry beans in Kent, Elgin, Huron, Middlesex, Lambtcn, Norfolk, and Essex Coun ties. Royal Winter Fair On November 20 to 28 the Royal Winter Fair wil be held in the Colis eum at Toronto. To mark the 25th anniversary of the accession to the thr.cne of King George V., the man agement is organizing the entire af fair as a tribute to the popularity of His Majesty. The King is himself an enthusiastic stockman and a winner at many English and Scottish fat stock Micws. There is promise of a good entry from every province, and it is anticipated that the 19 3 5 “Royal” will eclipse its predecessors in number®. and quality cf entries. At no exhibition is there such a variety of agricultural interests displayed in such quantity under one roof. Thro’- out the fair, apart from the keenest of competition, the dominant note will unquestionably be the dedication of each and every activity to an ade quate celebration- of “The King’s Year.” Topdressing Hay Meadows With Barnyard Manure Pays Hay is the most valuable crop grown on the farms- of Ontario. In 1934 the value of the hay crop of the province exceeded $53,000,000, or nearly 45 per cent, of the total crop value. Using the gold produc tion of Ontario as a standard, we find that the value -of the hay <crop over the ten year pericd 1925-1934 amounted to $701,402,000, or near ly double that of gold, which total led $356,906,000, for the same per iod. Hay Produces Digestible Feed at comparatively low cost Recent studies show that the cost of producing a ton of digestible nut rients from the following crops is as follows: (1) Pasture $3.34; (2) Al falfa hay $8.49; (3) Timothy hay $10.33; (4) Cum silage $14.46; (5) Oats $1(6.12 and (6) Mangolds $23.- 55. it is seen that next to pasture, which is *oud cheapest s iur.ee of feed, hay’ stands an easy second. Should we then nut pay nwre attention to our hay -crop in Ontario. Top Dressing Hay Meadows A survey- of Svlme uf the good farming areas. c£ the province 1ms shown that the practise of top dress ing new seedings in the fall, or the older -meado.wu* during the fall, win ter or spring with an application of S to 10 tons of well rotted manure is meeting with success, and the piactiise is gaining in popularity. Top I dressing new seedings in the fall gives winter .protection to the young plants and lower.* the percentage vt winter killing of the valuable le gumes. One farmer stated that “1 ■ have never h.-t a seeding in 33 I years by following this practise.” Storing Farm Machinery Proper care should be exercised at all times to protect the large invest ment in farm machinery fiom rapid j deterioration. Heat, moisture, wind, ’ fro.-t and direct sunlight are the must destructive elements one iuu- teird by’ farm equipment. St rage means protection against t’mee deteri-..ratin1? effects during the inactive life vf the machines and has been found to be the greatest single tact , r in prolonging the life of farm machinery. 'i’iie m-st active pericd of deter ioration is during the season of ma chine use. It is important, however, to protect machinery’ the year ’round from the effects ,of .weather. Gener ous use of paint on all wood and metal parts, wherever the original nas worn thin, and the removal to a dry shed .of all slats, canvasses, kniv es, plough-shares, cultivator teeth, etc., immediately; the machine is out of use, will help prolong the useful life of the implement. Pack all bearings with the correct grade cf lubricant. Cover all expos ed metal parts worn bright from use with crankcase or transmission .oil before (putting the machine aside for a few days. This will kee.p out all dirt and moisture from the bearings and off the wearing surfaces, thus preventing excessive wear due to rust. ■Clean all seed from drill boxes, make sure that all dirt js removed from plough or one-way disc bot toms and that they are well greased before leaving. All straw, grain or weeds should be thoroughly cleaned from binders, combines, separators, cultivators, discs, etc., before greas ing and painting for storage. Bright sunlight an-d moisture cause exposed wooden parts to warp and crack, paint applied early will pre vent this destruction. Metal parts exposed will rust and wear; grease or paint will save these surfaces. TR1V1TT MEMORIAL AV. A. The regular business and devotion al meeting of Trivitt Memorial Women’s Auxiliary was’ held in the Parish Hall on Tuesday evening with the president, Mrs. O. Winer in the chair. The meeting opened with a hymn followed by the Litany and prayer. Mrs. J. Luxton read the Scripture Lesson.

The prologue to the new study bc-cik- 'The Jew and the World Ferment’ was read by Mrs. Middleton. The bale of clothing which is being sent to St. Paul’s School, at Cardston, Alta., was on display. All children in this Indian residental school are clothed by Women’s Auxiliaries. The meet- closed with a hymn and prayer after whi -h a social half hour was spent.

Stewart, merchant, Ailsa Craig, interment took place in Nairn cemetery. NEW MARKETING PLAN FOR- BEANS A new plan to. recognize the mar keting of dry beans produced in Western Ontario has been announc ed. Coming into effect immediate ly, it will replace the scheme approv ed last January. A toll of 8 cents per bushel will be tajken- from dry. bean .growers in the western part of the Province for the purpose of setting U‘p a fund for equaization purposes in order to re move from the market any surplus crop at the end of each selling seas on. The intention is to emure that all growers in the Western Ontario area will divide equally any loss Which may be brought about by selling of this accumulated fund, it was un tie surplus production. The balance of thii.* accumulated fund, it was understood, will be distributed among the growers after each seas on’s crop has been marketed. Personnel of the local Iboard, which will administer the plan with headquarters at Chatham, is- increas ed from five to seven under the new proposal. Dealers in. the commodity will have re-presentation on the body through two nominee#- of the On tario Bean Dealers’ Association. Other representatives on t'he board will !be coimpceed of growers, 2 from Kent, one from Elgin, .one from Hur on and one representing other bean- gro-wing coiunties in the western dis trict.

The impairment of the stomach is of serious consequence to other organs of the body, for only by properly digested food is the entire system sustained and nourished, We have no hesitancy in recom mending B.B.B. as a reliable remedy for diseases and disorders of the digestive system. It helps to stimu late the secretion of gastric juice, the main factor in digestion, neu tralize acidity, tone up t’he lining’ membrane of the stomach, and re store the natural, healthy, painless process of digestion.

Toronto—Mrs. Ethel Doan, of Biggar, Sask., pulled in here with a load -of 2? cattle, marketed them at the Union Stock Yards, and left to visit her sister, Mrs. George Hess, of Hensail. “My husband said I couldn’t bring the cattle to Toronto, and I said 1 could,” she related. “It was easy.” ISlie left Saskatchewan a week ago Friday. She and 27 cattle dropped off at Winnipeg for two days. She visited friends here. “I travelled in a day coach with dozens of men,” #he said, “They were all nice to me. They even made tea and toast for me.” No Trouble The. cattle? “Oh, they were no trouble. One of the men lost one of his calves, but mine were no bother at all. I’ve lived with cattle ever since, r went out to AVestern Canada 25 years ago.” 'She was born in Durham, Ont. Her father was Robert Pettigrew. “We have a three quarter-section in the west,” Mrs. Doan said. “AVe have 300 sheep and 35 ’horses. I us ed to look after them myself but now my children are gr-oiw-n- up, they do the wonk, and I superintend. Asked what ’her husband, children and neighbors would think of her trip to the east, Mr®. Doan said: “Oh, they’d say, “That’s just like Ethel Doan’. I do everything. I’ve milked cows and I’ve ridden horses.’ iShe didn’t think much of the Eastern wo’men. “They’re too fussy," she said “They would never do what I have done, for instance.” “Did you get a good price for your cattle?” “Not as much as I ex pected. But I don’t let anybody put anything over on me.” In- all her experience, she has never met another women selling or trucking horses. Western crops were disappointing Mrs. Doan said. “The wheat suffer ed from nu-st and frost. We still have enough -for feed, but—-then there’s always 'next year.’ Western Canada is a ‘next year’s country.’ Prosperity is always 'next year.’ ” DEATH OF AIRS, MCLEOD After a lingering illness, Mary Mc Callum, wiife of Donald McLeod, passed away at her home in Clinton in her 67th year.
