nutrients at less cost than other

pasture, which produces digsestible,
nutrients at the lowest cost of any
of our crops.

Value of Poultry
Poultry and egus brought consid
erably over fifty inillLn dollars to
the farmers of Canada last year.
That is vt ’.y large large sum and
surprising to the uninitiated who
think in terms of the old-fashioned
barn-yard with a few hens busily
schaping for a living. Poultry and
eggs are big business, as the figures
show. The revenue of 1935 was
within measurable distance >?f yield
ing half as much to the farm family
exchequer as the $120,000,000 of
farm animals.
Novel Flower Show
The Exeter Horticultuial Society
has developed an interesting plan
for displaying flowers. Instead of
holding numerous flower shows in
buildings or other secluded places,
window displays are arranged in the
leading stores and shops of the vil
lage.
The plan is to arrange for a dis
play of each leading flower in season
A committee is appointed for each
display and members are encourag
ed to enter their best blooms. No
prizes are offered, but nevertheless
competition is keen in such leading
kinds as Roses and Gladioli.
Current Crop Report
An average yield of Fall Wheat is
indicated, although the straw is
short. Spring grains are now head
ing and growth is satisfactory. Roots
and .canning crops are in healthy
condition. Corn was planted under
favorable condition and is a good
stand. Cutting of alfalfa is general
throughout the Province; while of
good quality the yield is expected to
be below average. Pasturage con
tinues excellent. Damage from wind
and drought necessitated consider
able replanting of tobacco but a good
stand has developed.
Professor Knox Promoted

Combating' Garden Insects
Garden plants are liable to attack
by many kinds of destructive insects
Some of these destroy the foliage,
others the flowers, while others bore
into the stems and even into the
routs. Injurious insects may be di
vided roughly into two classes by the
nature of their mouthpieces, namely
(1) biting insects which bite and
chew their food, such as cutworms
and other caterpillars, and leaf-eat-
in beetles and (2) sucking insects
which suck up their food by means
of their beaks, such as aphids, the
true bugs, and the scale insects.
If the insects is one with biting
mouthparts, a stomach poison such
as paris green, or arsenate of lead,
is usually applicable, but if the in
sect has sucking mouthparts, such
poison would be useless because the
insect would insert its beak through
the poison and reach a safe feeding
place beneath. For mscking incests
therefore, contact insectitudes are
usually recommended, t'hose com
monly used being kerosene emus
sion, whole oil soap, and prepara
tions containing tofoacoo.
Fertilization of Pastures
Good pasturage has long been
recognized .as a real factor in suc-
cesful farming. Particularly so,
where live stock and live stock pro
ducts form the major source of the
income. Experience has shown that
there is no other period of the year
when the unit cost of production can
be maintained at as low an average
as when live stock are out on past
ure, and that when it is a good pas
ture the net returns are still great
er.
Fertilization of pastures has been
practised at the Dominion Experi
mental Farm, Nappan, N.S., for the
past fourteen years. Since 1929 de
finite experiments have been under
way to permit a more thorough study
of the value of fertilization of pas-
ures, as well as rotating versus con
tinuous pasturing.
The results to date from the use
of complete fertilizer, have shown
a very definite increase in the carry-
,in capacity; furthermore, that this
increase is profitably obtained from
the use of fertilizer. The results also
show that a slightly greater carry
ing capacity can be secured from ro
tating the fields, but in some cases
this increase may be offset by the in
creased cost of fencing.
In brief, the carrying capacity,
during the past five years, has been
as follows:
Fertilizer rotated pasture ...............
...............1.79 cows per day per acre
Fertilized continuously pastured ....
...............1.74 cows pei’ day per acre
Unfertilized continuously pastured ..
.............1.29 cows per day per acre.
Cut Hay Early and Save Feed
Bills
By Dr. O. McConkey, O.A.C.
Hay is Ontario’s most valuable
crop, producing 37% of the total
value of all field crops, or over
$47,000,000. It covers 39% or
3,500,000 acres of the farm land of
the province.
Value of Hay Exceeds Gold
For the ten-year period, 1925-
1934, the value of Ontario’s hay crop
was approximately double the value
of the gold production in the pro
vince, e.g., $701,402,000 as compar
ed with $35l6,90i6,000.
