cars according to the estimate of
W. T. Hunter, district horticultur-

with his investigations into Cana-

science, "England has but a small
forest area in comparison to Can-
ada, nevertheless, her forests were
depleted two-thirds to meet the
emergencies of the War, and now
we are determined to recover this
doss by practical reforestation. We
have been working at this for the

Zion. Evangelical Lutheran Church
of Dashwood, Ont., will celebrate
the fiftieth nnnivereary of its organ-
ization next Sunday, August 12th.
The former pastors of the church,
Rev. R. Eifert, of Tavistock, Ont.,
and Rey. G. Thumb, of Napoleon,
Ohio, will occupy the pulpit in the
German services at 10 a.ni. and 2.30
p.m., and Rev. S. B. Lix, of Mitchell,
Ont., will conduct the English ser-
vice at 7 p.m. The local choir will
will be assisted in the musical part
of the program by the children of the
Sunday School and the choir of Mit-
chell. The church will be specially
decorated for the occasion.
As a Thank -Offering special col-
lections will be lifted in all the ser-
vices for the benefit of the Mission
Treasury and Church Extension
Fund.
Next Tuesday afternoon, August
14th, the congregation holds its an-

Zion Lutheran Church of Dash -
Snood (Rev. P. Graupner,pastor since
1913) ' is connected with the "Evan-
gelical Lutheran Synod of Missouri,
Ohio and other States" which to-
gether with other 'Synods officiated
in the Synodical Conference, forms
the` largest Lutheran Church body
in the world. In its more than 4000
Pulpits nothing is preached but the
Gospel of Christ crucified; not the
issues of the day, but the issues of
eternity and the hereafter. -Its norm
of teaching is not human reason, or
the alleged results of science, but the.
Bible, the whole Bible and nothing
but the Bible, as the inspired word
of God.

acreage for the past forty years:
There Isnot a county or district in
Ontario in which winter wheat is not
grown, although in New Ontario the
average annual amount is not more
than about 20,000 bushels. Owing to
the comparative low price of winter
wheat at present, strict attention
should be given to economic methods
and to large yields.
0. A. C. No. 104 a Careiuully Chosen
Cross.
The Dawson's Golden Chaff is still
the variety most largely grown ac-
cording to the December Bulletin of
the Ontario Department of Agricul-
ture for 1922. With the object of
seollring even a better variety, crosses
have been made at the Ontario Agri-
cultural College between the Daw-
soii`e esoldeu Chaff and ;some other
verieties, such as, Tasmania Red,
Cr .er.,n Red, Turkey Red, Buba
I'rs..i, Imperial. Aoiber, and Bulgar-
,, A new t a'iety has been origin-
:aced at the Callege by crossing the
Daweon's Golden Chaff and the Bul-
garian,
ul-Z 1 ian, and this is naw known as the
0. A. C. No. 104. in both the Col -
leg,. and the co-operative tests this
new variety has made an excellent
record, surpassing the Dawson's
Golden Chafe in both yield and qual-
ity of grain. It is a white wheat, and
res.eubles the vulgarian in possess-
ing a white chaff and the Dawson's
Golden Chaff in a beardless head. it
is a vigorous grower, and has been
less subject to winter -killing than the
Dawson's Golden Chaff.
The Value of Using Good Seed.
It is also important to use seed of
hall quality. The results of six
years cxpeeinvents at the College,
show an average increase in yield of
gr..in per acre 6,8 busitols from
lar, .• las compared with -small seed,
of lee bushels from plump as com-
pered with shrunken sec -d, and of
35.0 bushels from sound as com-
p:;red with broken seed. Seed which
was allowed to become thoroughly
ripened before it was cut produced a
gt .at n yi' id of both grain and straw,
and a heavier. weight of grain per
to .sured bushel than that produced
f,a.:a wheat which was cut at any one
of ,;ur earlier stages of maturity. In
e i :l of two years when winter wheat
was sp:'outed in the fields, germina-
tion tests of the grain - were made.
The following results show the aver -
ease percentage of germination from
ean:h saiection: Skin over germ, un-
broken, 91; skin over germ, broken,
76; sprouts one-quarter inch long,
30; and sprouts one inch long, 18.
tier only was the sprouted wheat low
in germination but the plans pro-
duced were very uneven in size.
White wheats vs. the Red Varieties.
White wheats as compared with
red wheats yield more grain per acre,
possess stronger straw, weigh a little
less per measured bushel, are slightly
softer in the grain, are more useful
in the manufacture of shredded
wheat and of pastry, and furnish a
somewhat weaker flour for bread pro-
duction. •
Winter wheat which was grown on
clover sod yielded much better than
that which was grown on timothy
sod, and that which was grown on
Iand on which field pease were used
as a green manure yielded 6.5
bushels of wheat per acre more than
that grown on land on which buck-
wheat was used as a green manure.

In time for seeding this autumn,
valuable material will be sent out
from the College to those farmers re-
siding in Ontario who wish to con-
duct experiments upon their own
farms through the medium of the
Experimental Union, The material
will be supplied, free of charge, to
those who wish to conduct the ex-
periments and report the results in
the early autumn of 1924. Any On-
tario farmer may apply for the ma-
terial for any one of the following
seven experiments: (1) Three choice
varieties of Winter Wheat (including
0. A. C. No. 104); . (2) One variety
ofWinter Rye and one of Winter
Wheat; (3) Spring applications • of
five. Fertilizers with Winter Wheat;
(4) Autumn and ,Spring-. applications
of Nitrate of Soda and Common• Salt
with Winter Wheat; (5) Wintei:Em-
mer and Winter Barley; (6) Hairy
Vetches and Winter Rye as fodder
crops; (7) Mixtures of Winter Rye
and Hairy Vetches for seed pro-
duction.
The size of each plot is to be one
rod wide by two rods long. Fertil-
izers will be sent by express for Ex-
periment No. 4 this Autumn, and for
Experiment Nunmber 3 next Spring.
All seed will be sent.. by mail except
that for Number 4 which will accom-
pany the fertilizers. The material
vtll be sent out in the order in which
the applications are received, and as
long as the supply lasts C.
