There is.no reason to believe that
sorghums can replace corn to any ex
tent in Ontario. However, according
to the Division of Forage Plants,
Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa,
Ont., the ability of sorghums to with
stand drought successfully and to
produce yields of fodder that com
pare favourably with corn is suffic
ient reason to give the crop consid
eration.
Sorghums will not thrive outside
the corn areas in Ontario and in most
cases cannot reach the limits of those
areas. It is definitely a warm weather
crop and requires a much higher soil
temperature for germination than does
corn. Most of the varieties of both
the sweet and grain types require a
long frost-free growing season to
reach maturity. At Ottawa the sweet
sorghums do not yield as, much fod
der as the standard corn varieties and
neither the sweet sorghums or the
grain sorghums will mature satisfact
orily.
It is. evident that where corn can
be grown successfully there is little
or no place for sorghums. In areas
where corn is not productive because
of drought or insect pests sorghum
map have a place for fodder, provid
ed the season is long enough to mat
ure the crop. Inmature sorghum
makes silage of high acidity.
The crop is grown much the same
way as corn and requires a well work
ed fertile soil in order to make sat
isfactory growth. Since in the early
stages, growth is slow it is important
that sufficient cultivation be done to
keep the crop dean.
The earliest varieties available
should be grown in Ontario, A stan
dard variety of considerable merit is
Early Amber or as it is sometimes
called Black Amber. This variety

THE SOIL SURVEY
AND ITS VALUE
Briefly stated, .the object of soil sur
veys is to classify and describe the
soils according to their characteris
tics, particularly with reference to the
growth of crops or native vegetation
and 'to show on suitable maps the lo
cation and extent of the different soil
types, states A Leahey,' Division of
Field Husbandry, Central Experimen
tal Farm, Ottawa, The soil survey
also includes .the recognition of other
factors, especially physical ones, that
influence the present or potential ag
ricultural production of the surveyed
area.
Since the agricultural production of
any area is primarily dependent on
the nature of the soils in that area,
the information obtained by means of
the soil survey has manifold uses.
One of its most important functions
is that it serves as a fundamental I
basis for classifying and systematiz
ing the- results of cropping, cultural
and fertilizer experience and experi
ments. It is a well known fact that
soils vary tremendously in their pow
er to produce crops and in their res
ponse to varous cultural and fertilizer
treatments imposed on them by man.
Hence the experience gained on one
type of soil may not necessarily apply
to another type of soil even in the
same district. It is only by means of
the soil survey that the great body of
information accumulated on crops and

Soil survey information can and
has been used with marked success in
directing settlement to the better soil
types, in the planning of proper land
utilization, in the assessing of land in
accordance with its productive power,
in the direct solution of soil problems
and in focussing attention on present

notice how Electrical Gifts
have come down, down,
down in price. And that’s
only half the story. At
today’s low cost for
Hydro service, it’s so very cheap to operate them!
". . . the complete Electrical Laundry! One cent
will pay for the Hydro current used for an hour’s
washing . . . and a full
hour of 'workless' ironing
on the modern Electric
Ironer costs just one cent
for current, too.
EK!
Take electric cooking, for example. Thanks fo
the steady reduction in
Hydro cost you can cook an
entire full-course meal on
the modem Electric Range
for less than half a cent per
person! And here’s another
electrical gift that saves
money, as well as work...

One cent will operate the average Electric Radio for
six hours ... the Electric ' \ '
Refrigerator for 12 hours or
more... the Electric Cleaner

YES, Santa Claus is right! Electrical Gifts permanently add to better
