MAXIMUM YIELD PER ACRE AGAIN POTATO OBJECTIVE Five Hundred Bushel per acre Potato clubs will again be feature projects of the Ontario Crop Improve - seen. Association this year, it is anns ounced by R. E. Goodin, potato field. man of the Coterie. Department of Agriculture. For the fourth succ- essive year, South- Simeoe County has organized a contest known as the Alliston 500 Bushel Per Aere Potato Club. New competitions will be conducted this year in the counties of .Dufferin and Wentworth; also in the District of Kenora. Inall, four- teen competitions are under way, in- cluding two in the District of Sudbury anealse one in each of the following areas; Coeheane North, Voile Rainy River, Thunder Bay, Ontario, Durham Temisktiming and 1VIlddlesex, Several of these competitions have increased their numbers of contestants, which indicates greater enthusiasm . Since the organization of 500 Bush- el Potato Clubs in Ontario four years ago, much nnprevernent has been accomplished by growers in epecial- ieation of the potato industry, says Mr. Goodin. The principae of a set objective in yield per acre has also been applied for improvement of oth- er crops by the organizatien of sev- eral 50 Bushel Fall Wheat Clubs, 800 Bushel Turnip Clubs, 100 Bushel Corn Clubs, 100 Bushel Oat Clubs. and 60 Bushel Seeley Clubs. This yeat, there is also a 30 Bushel Pea Club organized for the first time by the Renfrew County Branch of the Ont- ario Crop Improvement Association. With urgent demands for increased pi:eduction of food products, togetber with the fact that cutting costs of peoduetion per unit is a timely sub- ject such products which feature not more acres, but maximum production of quality products per acre, should stimulate more efficient methods ahd assist in the development of improved cropping pratices. Mowing Now Will Improve Farm Pastures Most old permanent pastures, and some which are part of a crop rotat- ion, present at this time of the year a serious problem in weed control, says; John D. 1VIeLeod, Director of the Crops, Seeds and Weeds Branch, Ontario Department of Agriculture. Weeds which are most noticeable now in these fields are Ox -Eye Daisy, Canada Thistle, Blue Weed, Chicory, Orange Kawkweed, Goldenrod and Wild Carrot, with buttercup in poorly drained fields. These weeds reduce seriously the amount of pasture and unless prev- ented from seeding will take complete Possession of the fields, Mr. McLeod states. Fortunately, he adds., they can be kept -very well in check by •systematic and timely mowing. This not only prevails theb: becoming firm- ly established in that particular field, but also prevents their . spread to neighbouring fields,. Since most of these weeds are al- ready in bloesom, if best results are to be obtained, mowing should be done at once. A /*Milli' or heavy dew that interferes with haying ot harv- est gives an opportunity to attend to these pasture fields with the mower. It should not be overlooked that in addition to checking the weeds, this practice of mowing pasture also im- proves the pasture grass by encour- aging new leaf growth, KEEP EGGS COOL TO RETAIN QUALITY ADVICE OF EXPERT Because it is enclosed in a shell the deterioration of a new laid egg during warm summer temperatures is not as noticeable or as rapid as some other periehable foods. Nevertheless, a lowerieg of quality is brought about by improper storage conditions even in the space of a few days, and the maintenance • of the flavour of a freshly; laid egg requires as much care as that given_other perishable foods, says Walter Mountain, Poultryman, Dominion Experimental .Station, Har- low, Ont. The zemoval of, the male from the laying Bock is advisable, otherwise most of the eggs laid will be fertile. While this condition in itself does not impair the quality of the eggs, germ development should be prevent- ed by keeping the eggs in temperat- ures between 45 and 50 degrees after they are laid. As loeig as eggs are not frozen, tempeartures below this range are even better, though when removed to a warmer pleas moisture may gather on the shell. This sweat- ing tends to destroy the natural bloom of the new laid eggs., opening up the pores in the shell, and allowing an easier penetration of bacteria to the contents. Moisture and warmth may lead to the formation of mould spots, spoiling the fresh flavour and giving the product a low rating in the grad- ers' estimation. Quality Beef Production Stimulated by Increase Production of quality beef in Western Ontario will be greatly stint - elated; by the announcement from Ottawa that the Meat Board will pay an increase of $2 per 100 pounds of choice and good steer and heifer beef, purchased for expo* according to 'officials of the Department of Agri- culture. The order was effective Monday, August 10. The Ottawa announcement said the increase was made to restore the re- lationship of export prices to do- mestic ceiling prices for beef, which • existed ;before increases in domestic beef ceilings, which were authorized last month, went into effect. Various marketing associations, the Federation of Agriculture, and Pro- vincial and Federal Departments of Agriculture have enema -aged the produetion of better brands of beef, but the inoteased prices will do much mere to stimulate that production, oftecials decla-red. Canada obtains its supply of baux- its, the ore fvora which aluminum is made, from Bvitise Guiana. Dry Weather Pretty Hard On Late Crops The weather during the past five weeks permitted rapid progress 'with grain havvesting operations, but was decidedly too dry in large portions of the Province for the growth of pastures, poi:dimes, and ' other late crops, according to the Ontario' De - Pertinent of Agriculture crop release for August. . .m :Oountiee at the southern and north- ern ends .of South -Western Ontario comprising Illesex, Kent, parts of • Larabthn and Elgin, Bruce and Grey, together with those counties in the Eastern part of the provirice east of and including Peterborough, North- umberland, and Prince Edward, re- ceived vey sesta 'precipitation from the first part of July pp to August 9, when rainfall was general throughout the Province, although of quite var- iable intensity in different sections. The middle ;portion of South -Western Ontaxio and the Niagara Peninsula were more favoured in this respect, and generally; have had sufficient rainfall for the satisfactory develop. merit of late crops., although pastures hi this area have suffered from ex- treme heat, and have dried up con- siderably. Fail wheat harvesting is now corn- pleted and the crop teemed out very well with both yield and quality above normal. The yield is estimatei at 29.4 bushels per acre as against 29.8 bushels per acre last year, and a long tiine average of 23.0 bushels, The aoreage was considerably lower than last year amounting to 546,100 acres as agaiest 675,000 acres in 1945, and total production amounts to 16,049,- 000 bushellis comparewith 20,115,000 bushels, Huron 'County's yield is estimated' at 30.3 beshels per acre with 38,823 acres and 1,024.837 bushels. Actual production in 19e5 was 1,185,806 bushels, grown on 40,834 acres, a yield of 29 bushels to the mire. Harvesting of ?jiving gertiee com- menced exceptionally early the: sea- son and by August 12 practically 100 per cent of the acreage bad been cnt in Southern, Western, an 1 Central Ore-are:1, and fro n 60 per cent to 100 per cent in Eastern Oritatio In Northern Oetario harvesting of these crops is just now comnieneing. For- ately the esougnt and bet weather had little effect en the yierd of ''ring grains owing to the exceptionally early seeding of these crops in the greater pare of Old Ontario this /ma- son which permitted their full de- velopment before thre drought set in, In several of the extreme East= countice where much of the acreage of spring grains was seeded very late grain eipened prematurely and the yield was considerably reduced by the recent dry weather. In Huron County, at August 1, spring wheat production was 98 per cent of normal, oats 102 per cent, and barley 105 per cent. Western Farmers Helped Farmers were aided greatly in their harvesting operations by the assist- ance of several thousand farmers from Western Canada, who are now returning foe their own haevest. In Southern, Western, and Central On- tario, oats, barley and mixed grains turned out exceptionally good, and on most farms above nomal yields are being obtained. In the western part of Eastern Ontario yields are normal but below normal in Prescott and Russell, Dundas Stormont and ,Glen- garry. Spring grains are late in Northern Ontario, but are gowing well in most districts and promise average yields. Crops are very poor in Kenora. Condition of late crops varies wid- ely throughout the Province, Roots, potatoes and buckwheat, have suffer - LET a IIELP 1011 tilOtl RE tita MIS 1011R IMES. EXPERT lerditS, MORI MO A, REG BALL Phone 5 Clinton Ont. ed considerably and are below normal in the drought sections of the Pro- vince, while in the middle portion of South-Weetern Ontario these acme, together with beans, coy beans, and corn, generally show good prospects, Fairly general rains which fell throughout the Province on August 9 relieved the situation somewhat, but additional rainfall is urgently needed in many counties. Condition of late emits foe the Pro- vinee as a whole, expressed as a per cent of normal at August 1, was as follows,—buckwheat 88%; potatoes 93%; roots 92%; corn for husking 91%; corn for fodder 91%; soy beans 96%; and dry beans 94%. In Huron Comity, percentages; were, buckwheat 88; potatoes 88; roots 92; corn for husking 92; corn for fodder 94; coy beans 97, Pastures have shied greatly since the first of July in all sections of the Province, particularly in Eastern Ontario where supplementary feeding of dairy cows has been restored to on a number of ,farms. Milk flow has fallen sharply, and butter and cheese production which has shown continuous monthly' declines from a year ago will be further reduced. The condition of pastures at August 1, as a per cent of normal, was 91% for Southern Ontario; 86% for Western 0,ntario; 81% Inc Central Ontario; 75 % for Eastern Ontario; and 86% Inc Northern Ontario.
