INCREASED POULTRY
PRODUCTION GREAT
NEED 'AT PRESENT
"As Chairman of the Poultry Com-
mittee of the Huron Federation of
Agriculture, it gives me a great deal
of satisfaction in reporting that the
future outlook for the 'poultry indus-
try looks very promising, W. V. Roy,
Londesboro, reports.
"During October and the early part
of November, ,Tohn A. Peacock, Dir-
ector of Egg Imports for the British
IVIinistry of Food, visited this country
and toured Canada front , Coast to
Coast in company with W. A. Brown,
Chief of Poultryallarketing andPro-
duction Services for the Dominion
Department of Agriculture.
"Mr. Peacock pointed out that the
British Market was the only market
which Canada could depend on to
take eggs in millions of cases, and
stated that Britain is 7 to 8 million
cases short.
"Our present contract for eggs calls
for 450,000 cases fall and winter eggs
of which only 25,000 cases were forth
coming to November 10th, leaving

425,000 cases to be secured by the
end of January, 1947.
"Somehow we have had a good deal
of low production this Pall, and in
the opinion of the poultry industry
committee of Ontario, this can be
attributed -a• the lack of "know how"
on the part of flockowners. That is,
they do not yet know how to so man-
age their flocks to secure adequate
fall production, birds having ' lost
weight with subsequent molting. The
suggestion put forth was an educat-
ional program on feeding and man-
agement.
"Canada will have to aim high if
she wishes to hold the British market.
This mans breeding better birds,
feeding better birds, and managing
better birds.
',One of the greatest difficulties
with increased capacity is overcrowd-
ing, and its attendant evils. There-
fore, sufficient floor space in brood-
er and laying pens is a must.

a week ago by the Canadian Produce
Assoeiation.

"Without hesitation or reservation
'Mr. Peacock speaking for the British
IViinistry of Food as buyers of egg
products only, made it very plain to
his Canadian Audiences, that Canada
cannot hope to receive special consid-
erationsunless and until Canada will
undertake to give Great Britain what
she wants and When she wants it.
"Ladies and ,Gentlemen, now is the
time that Canada needs your help as
Canadians, because history is being
written, The British Ministry of Food
must have increased exports of 'poult-
ry produets from Canada, if Canada
to hold her present place. This is a
Challenge."
UNLOADING RUSHED
GODERICH — Despite a driving
snowstorm riding a 45 mile -per -hour
gale which swept this Lake Huron
port Sunday, shipping interests were
busy rushing unloading of cargoes to
release vessels for a last minute dash
to the lakehead before the close
of navigation. The .swirling snow at
times cut visibility to such an ex-
tent that it was impossible to „see
across the limber.

Soil Testing Important
• on Huron County Farms
The importance of soil testing is
discussed in an interview with Gerald
E. Nelson, Clinton, assistant Agric-
ultural representative for Huron
Cotrtny.
"We have had several requests at
the office for soil sample boxes. This
is the time of year when soil tests
should be taken and sent away for
analysis. The farmers of Huron
County are becoming more conscious
of the fact that something has to be
done to replenish the soils with prop-
er food elements for the continuance
of heavy cropping year •after year.
Not the least among our natural re-
sources are our soils which are the
very foundation of our Agriculture.
Needless to say then, how import-
ant it is to keep our soils in high
fertility through application of barn-
yard manure and commercial fertil-
izers.
"The Soil Testing Service which
has recently been expanded at the
0. A. C., Guelph, with the inception
of a new Soils Department, is of de-
finite value to the farmer.
(1) It places before him a state-
ment of the fertility in his soils in
much the same manner that a finan-
cial statement shows a summary of
assets and liabilities.
(2) Soil TesKtig Service in exper-
ienced hands indicates what steps
may be taken in balancing the plant
food of the soil so that substantical
yields of high quality crops may be
produced.
(3) Soil Testing Service indicates
what should be done to maintain soil
fertility.
Shows Soil Reaction
"In other words, the report of a
soil sample as it reaches the farmer,
shows the soil reaction whether acid,
neutral or alkaline, and the levels of
organic matter, nitrogen, phosphorus,
potassium, calcium and magnesium.
In addition to this information, the
report includes .recommendations as
to the kind of fertilizer to use and the
rate of aPPlication.
"With this information available,
a farmer can better regulate his crop
rotation and syston of manuring so
as to maintainor build up the mineral
content and organic content of the
soil. Instead of, as in the past, apply-
ing some type of cominereial. fertiliz
er at a fairly high rate to any field
before seeding and hoping for a good
crop, the farmer is assured of using
a fertilizer on hi S fields that is de-
finitely being used for a speeific pur-
pose possibly in building up phosph-
orus where the soil report shows
phosphorus deficiency. With farm
yard manure' being used on the land,
there are few cases of nitrogen de-
ficiencies except where excessive
cropping of corn, two or more years
in succession, does use up consider-
able nitrogen. Possibly in this district
phosphorus and potash are the most
seriously deficient food elements of
the soil.
Soil Sampling
"Soil samples should be taken when
the soil is in good tillable condition.
Samples should not be taken when
the soil is too wet or frozen. If the
soil is wet When sampled, make sure
it is dried at room temperature in an
CLINTON
atmosphere free from fumes or dust,
applied to the land.
"To get a representative soil sam-
ple, each field should be sampled at a
number of evenly distributed places
and from these several samples,
which are mixed together, a one
pond samucple tapen out for analysis.
At any rate, there should be a sample
taken for each acre in the field. Re-
commendations for taking samples
for special crops are contained on the
sheet of instructions which we send
out with soil boxes.
"I strongly advise soil testing and
if any farmers are in doubt as to
what kind of fertilizer to sow next
spring, now is the time to have your
soil tested. Write or phone the De-
partment of Agriculture, Clinton, and
we shall see •that you get the boxes
and instructions.

Winter Short Course,
"Regarding our work during the
winter, we are planning to hold two
one-month short courses at Exeter
and Belgrave. We cannot as yet re-
lease the exact dates, but they will
be in Jaimary and February as far
as we know. These courses will in-
clude classes for both girls and boys.
I would like to see a goodly number
of young farm girls and boys enrol in
these courses. In the meantime, any
young people in these two areas
should be thinking over the idea and
as soon as possible, some type of
canvass will be made for prospective
members.
