The objective of Ontario potato growers should be “More bushels of high quality potatoes from fewer acres.” KEEP HAY, PASTURE, IN HIGH FERTILITY Many failures of seedings are due to low soil fertility levels says Ont.

With reference to community sales barns where livestock sales are held periodically, it was thought that con siderable disease was spread to farms as a result of there being no health standards for animals offered at auc tion, such as T.B. in cattle, hog chol era and shipping fever in hogs, and it was resolved that this matter be brought to the attention of the pro vincial and federal departments of ag riculture, with the suggestion that there should be some method of health supervision adopted. Grading and advertising of beef with a view to increasing consumption was also urged, ‘With reference to a proposed change of location' of the head office of the. Canadian Shorthorn Associa tion, the club went on record as being strongly in favor of the office remain ing at Guelph, as at present. Opposition was voiced to the pres ent practice of the $1 penalty for horned catjle marketed going to the packers and it was urged that the practice'in the Western Provinces in which the money is kept in a separate fund for use in livestock improvement under direction of the provincial min ister of agriculture, be adopted. It was decided to have a field day and picnic*at Seaforth Lions Park, at Seaforth, on June 13. The*committees appointed- were: .Sports, Orville Free, With 55% of the total Ontario crop acreage being represented by hay and pasture crops, the maintenance of a fairly high level of fertility in soils devoted to hay and pasture is most important, says The Advisory Fertil izer Board for Ontario. The greater pare of the arable land in Southern Ontario is specially ad apted to alfalfa and* consequently a large proportion of the hay crop is obtained from this legume. The outstanding effect of fertilizers selected in accord with soil tests, is that they help to establish a good stand of legumes and grasses. This practice of fertilizing the meadow and pasture at the time of seeding down is of utmost importance. Minerals incorporated with the top layer of soil are more effective than surface applications, hence drilling the fertilizer in at seeding time places it in the soil at the point where best re sults can be expected. Many failures of seedings in Ontario are due to low soil fertility levels. On heavy soils normally low in phosphate, use -2.12.6 or 2.16.6 at the rate of 250 lbs. to 375 lbs. per acre. On light soils normally low in pot ash, use 2.12.10 at the rate of 250 lbs. to 375 lbs. per acre. As an alternative, if manure is av ailable, apply on heavy land 10 to 15 loads manure plus 375 lbs, per acre 20% superphosphate. On lighter soils, use 10 to 15 loads manure plus 375 lbs. per acre of 2.12.- 10 or 2.12.6. Secret study, silent thought, is, af ter all, the mightiest agent in human affairs.—Channing.

TEST TO GET UNDER WAY Shorthorn Breeders’ Club Plan Picnic for June 13th at Seaforth An adjourned meeting of the Ferth- Eturon Shorthorn Breeders’ Club, was held in Clinton when a number of im portant resolutions were adopted. The firsts a request for the federal health Of animals branch to commence the work incidental to the T.B. restriction area at the earliest possible date, cit ing the fact that both counties, Huron And Perth, had Voted strongly in.favor. Four years ago the Ontario and Dominion governments commenced experiments on three soil types in Middlesex county at the request of, the Caradoc Potato Growers’ Assn. In 1933 similar experiments were begun in the Allistori area, South Simcoe county. Growers’ in these famous po- : tato growing areas asked investiga tions into such problems as low yields, : and difficulties in producing potatoes : of high quality. In addition to the main experiments, demonstrations have been conducted on 38 Middlesex; , farms on one acre plots with adjacent >’ check .plots. ' Results obtained on the experiment- I al plots’ and put into practice on the 1 demonstration plots showed five main factors contributed to more profits from potatoes. These were: Certified seed of a suitable variety. Plentiful supply of plant food sup- ’ plie'd by barnyard manure, green man ure crops and artificial fertilizers. Early planting. Efficient spraying. Proper-methods in harvesting, grad- i ing, packaging and labelling. Good seed was‘found to be one of the most important factors in secur ing profitable yields. Although all ■other conditions might be ideal for a bumper crop, the crop might be a fail- , ure if the proper seed was nqt used. Certified Seed does not mean seed po tatoes that are entirely free from all diseases but it is an assurance that the minimum of disease is present Results of experiments in both Mid dlesex and South Simcoe showed that the best time to plant potatoes was’ from the 18th to 25th of May. These results are supported by similar find-. ings at the O.A.C Guelph, and Cen tral Experimental Farm, Ottawa. Efficient spraying throughout the growing season increased"1’’ average of W to 100 bfcsl Huron Gets 1940 Plow Match ’ The International Plowing Match for 1942 will be held in Huron on the farm of L. W. Whyte, Hullett Town-, ship and adjacent farms. The site has' been approved. It is 8 miles north east of Clinton and six miles north west of Seaforth. The committee in charge will be: J. D. Thomas, God erich, Chairman; L. E. Cardiff, M.P., Brussels; Gordon McGavin and Bert Hemmingway, representing North Huron; Percy Passmore, Roland Wil liams, William Quinn, South Huron; J. C. Shearer, Clinton, Secretary. Wolf Kills Farmer’s Calf For some time past a wolf has been prowling about the farms on the Howick and Carrick townline, and not long ago it Killed a young calf on the farm of August Wilke. Mr. Wilke missed the calf, and just recently dis covered the bones of tjie animal in a field near the barn.’ Nearly every day the animal pays a visit to the Wilke farm shortly after no c/n. Mr. Wilke has been within forty rods of the ani mal. The wolf is becoming quite bold and should provide a fine target for some enterprising marksman with a high powered rifle. The bounty for killing a wolf is $15.00. The farmers of that locality would be glad to see the finish of the unwelcome marauder. BELGRAVE Play a Marked Success The Young People of the United Church, had marked success in the presentation of their play in the For esters’ Hall, Belgrave, on Wednesday night. The play entitled “Back Again Home Town” is by the famous play- right Eugene Hafer; after a long and successful run as a Royalty Play, it has only recently been placed on the “free” list.

R. M. Spittai, Dominion Bank Mgr. send over to us. You seem ito tlfink there is a shortage of food here. You. can-tell the world there-is no short age. We were rationed for butter for' a week or two, and received four ounc es per week. That was all so ridicu lous, and only once did we suffer it. We have always had a pound for the two of us. Now they are asking us to- take an extra pound as they cannot get it all away at one shilling and'sev- en pence per pound (38c). The sugar ration is sufficient for anyone. We did not require any this week, having, plenty left over from last week. We= do not use half of the meat ration al lowed -us. The papers said this week, there is double the quantity of food, stored in Great/Britain at present than there was the same time last year. They are asking ithe bakers to buy in. flour as the government has not stor age for it all. Nearly all foods are up- in price a little. Any amount of fish. It is dear, but the fishermen of all people deserve a decent wage. I not ice by the papers yesterday that to bacco is likely to go up at least one shilling per pound, and the supplies- from America are stopped meantime. ■ Whisky also is increasing in price. (Another injustice to Scotland). Any way, don’t forget we have plenty of I butter, sugar, meat, coal, etc., even if The most of us were of the opinion that food was very scarce in (the Brit ish Isles, blit ^Robert Spittai, Bridge of Allan, Stirlingshire, Scotland, in a letter to his son, J/R. M. Spittai, man ager of the local branch of ithe Do minion Bank, gives the lie to this idea. The following is an extract that was written March 30, 1940,' by Mr. Spit- tal’s father, and is very interesting in deed. “I had posted a letter to you the day before your .last one arrived, and this will go over with the next con voy. We read about your big snow storms in our papers. I saw a few flakes here at the beginning of the week, and said it was Canada shak ing hands with us.
