Only slightly less important in our national planning is the necessity of having correct knowledge of the numbers of live stock on farms.

Prices are expect­ ed to continue at a fairly high level until the new crop is on the market. o Value of Farm Manure extended this sur- le ceding and mar- wit h regard to live Sugar Beet Crop Farm manure naturally constitu­ tes a very valuable by-product on the average farm. This, however, is not always evident, judging from the lack of effort made by many farmers in getting it back to the land willi the minimum of loss. Return­ ing manure to the soil is one of the most efficient systems of maintain­ ing soil fertility. If given proper care, it contains considerable qual­ ity each of nitrogen phosphoric acid and potash in forms which readily became available for plant growth. In addition to the actual plant food contributed, manure also adds hum­ us to the soil, improves its water holding capacity and increases very materially the bacterial life. In order to determine the actual benefit derived from the application of manure in a regular four-year-ro- tation, including oats, barley, clover hay and timothy hat, an experiment was started in 1925 at the Experi­ mental .Station, Kapuskasing, Ont. One area ws manured at the rate of sixteen tons, divided into two ap­ plications. One of 8 tons being disced in for the barley crop and a second of 8 tons given to the tim­ othy meadow as a top dressing. The other area received no manure of any kind. Over a ten-year period the percentage increase for the dif- Head Office THE EXETER TIMES* For security and Stability—Insure with the Cabbage Maggot Control Association The 193 6 acreage of sugar beets in South-Western Ontario is approx­ imately the same as in 19 35, when 3 6,000 acres were sown.

In the first part of May, temperatures were higher than normal and development progressed rapidly. This period was followed by damaging .frosts in some districts which froze the tops and delayed the maturity of the crop by ten days or more. After back the weather was cold during the last two weeks resulting in slow recovery, tatoes will not move to market in any volume before July 15th. The Soutnern part of the United States has experienced extremely un­ favorably growing weather for their early crop. Yields are very much reduced and supplies from that source are limited and available only at high prices. Stocks of old po­ tatoes are practically depleted in Eastern Canada and in the United States. Prices of old potatoes in Ontario have risen from $1.45 per bag to farmers on May 2'6th to $2.- The Forest Branch have selected 170 farmers’ woodlots in Ontario as demonstrations. Most of them are examples of woodlots that have been protected from stock, and have had careful and efficient management for years. Some are in such condi­ tion that thinnings and improve­ ment cuttings will improve .greatly growing conditions. Others have been pastured and they have been fenced from stock in order that they will restqck naturally with small trees. Valuable species are being- planted in others where natural re­ stocking is delayed, as windbreaks and to increase the future value of the woodlot by introducing valuable species such as pine, spruce, ash and walnut. The purpose of demonstration woodlots is to draw attention to ef­ ficiently managed woodlots.

This record is approached only by the United States where the compar­ able figure for the year was 192.4. It is a matter, of interest that Den­ mark with 167.2 and Sweden with 144.6 conversations per capita were next in the line telephone-using world. Canada ranks phones in the smaller communities. With 7.34 per 100 population in communities of less than 50,000 population, this Dominion is led by New Zealand with 9.68 and by the United States with 9.62 telephones in these less peopled areas.
