B The erdicati�rial -of couch grass, otherwise known as quack, twitch csr scratch grass, is one of the hard- est problems with which the farm- ers has to deal. Few.,people realize the enormous quantity of couch grass roots which exist in infested soil. Tests conducted by the Cen- tral Experimental Farm at Ottawa show' weighs of roots ranging from 1,531 to 6,997 pounds to the acre—as much as a heavy crop of hay. No wonder it is hard to clean out when it spreads by • 'opts as well as seed. Thoroughly cleaning out the roots is the one effective way •of getting rid of couch. In small areas this may be done - Y hand. In larger areas by shallow, plowing and working thoroughly with the cultivator to keep the roots turned up •• to the sun long enough for them to "kill." Only as large an area as can be thor- oughly cleaned up at one time should be undertaken, as half -way measures are only lost time and effort. b The producer of any food commo- dity realizes that .his. success Se the marketing of that commodity depends upon the•wiiiingness of the eonsum- ing public to ptrehase it, and in the face of keen marketing competition Ise also knows that in order to create, andmaintain such a willingness in the mind of the buyer, his commodity e•of high !lass qual- ity' b g must not only but that it must also be packed in 'clean and attractive containers• 1 drainage, careless watering and.in- Until a eomnnodity becomes weltsect injury. known foe its quality, the type rod S d manure Soils -Sods and barnyard 1 a container in which it is packed plays and allowed to rot make splendid soil for plants, To this inay be added e. small amount of rotted leaves or .other organic material.

Dr. Butler thinks "the anti -philo- sophies and the pseudo -psychologies which are so widely diffused just now, and which -are having such de_ plorable effects upon the instruction offered and training given, particu- larly in the elementary and secondary schools, have, consciously or, uncon- sciously, played a large part in ef- fecting these changes." of these two points, barley does best of all cereals en ground which is in- sufficiently drained and hence is cold and backward in spring. In recent experiments by the Department of Chemistry, O.A.C., it was noted that the highest yields of barley were realized where it followed a root crop. The department's experiments with fertilizer on barley, sheaving a big increase in yield where fertiliz- ers were used, are important in view of the fact that this province last year sowed 508,000 acres of bailey. • Canadian Eggs Best The per capita consumption of eggs in Canada is approximately 866.18 a year, according to J. A. Carroll, secretary of the Ontario Marketing 'Board, a record un- equalled by any other country, be- cause of the fact that Canada pro- duces the best eggs. Mr. Carroll gives as the underlying reason the fact that Canadian eggs are government graded, and declares: "Guesswork is eliminated. The annoyance and disappointment of paying for a high quality p;+oduet and receiving an in- ferior one, is a thing .of the past in Canada, so far as the egg business is cottoned. The old expression, "let the buyer beware,' is obsolete in this country when eggs are being per, chased. The Canadian consumer de- cides the quality of eggs he or she Purchases, not the dealer, providing the eggs are bought by grade. As for the effect of this huge consump- tion on general .prosperity, .consider these figures. The farmer received an average price of 23 cents o dozen for his eggs, or a total revenue of $69,940,000. The consumer paid an an average price of 23 cents a dozen or a total of $117,176,000. The dif- ference of $47,234;000 is the suni constributed to 'business' in the way of transportation, storage, merch- ondizing and incidental costs."

Gooderham, Dominion Apiarist. g MANY DIFFERENT FISH IN QUEBEC WATERS Alfalfa For Poultry Alfalfa in the green state has long been recognized as an ideal poul- try feed when used in conjunction with the usual grains and mashes. It is used extensively as range or as cut green feed for birds in com- mencement during the spring, sum- mer and fab'. months in most alf- alfa -growing areas, but the value of the hay as a winter feed is net so generally known. So much of the year's success depends on• the num- ber and quality of chicks hatched each spring, that it is intportant,to do all possible to increase the fertility, and hatchability of th.e egys and the liva- bility of the chicks. Experiinents have shown that 20 per cent, better fertility and 6.4 per cent. better hat- chability of fertile eggs can be ob- tained from birds where alfalfa hay instead of straw is used , as litter in the breeding pens. The alfalfa should be used as litter during the winter months preceeding the breed- ing season and the same treatment given to males and females. • Ship Approved Cockerels • Under the federal policy of cock- ed distribution arrangements have been made to ship noale birds which have passed inspection to Ontario points to supply demands for the coining breeding season. One lot of 200 cockerels is being shipped from Nova Scotia and New Brunswick to Ontario, while another lot of *around 500 birds is being shipped from the Western Provinces also to Ontario. Most of these birds are Barred Ply- mouth Rocks and Wyandottes. Ontario Growers' Council Asks Growers Register Acreage Over 15,000 Employed in Landing Them in Commercial Operations of Last year. Over sixteen different varieties of fish and shellfish are !taken in the sea fisheries of Quebec and a similar number in the inland fisheries. In carrying on these fisheries last year slightly more than 15,000 per- sons found employment. About 1,- 500 were engaged in inland fisheries ciperations and 'the remaining num- ber were at week in the sea fisher- iee. Listed in order of their marketed value for 1930 the sea fish taken in Quebec waters include cod, lobsters, herring, salmon, mackerel, smelts, slants, caplin, scallops, halibut, eels, squid, tomcod, sturgeon, and sardines with cod leading the others by a wide margin. Quebec dried cod, by the way, is much in favour in certain important foreign markets. Hair seals 'and porpoises are also caught by the salt water fishermen of the province for their skins and the oil which may be extraeted from the bodies, Fish taken in the inland fisiheries are eels, smelts, sturgeon, pickerel or done, catfish, carp, herring, perch, whitefish, pike, bees, shad, :salmon, and maskinonge. Several other fish such es grayling and ouananiche are also taken commercially in the inland fisheries but not in very great quan- tities. . Resul`t'A in Breeding Yorkshirs Swine at Kapuskasing If farmers are to get the beat re- sults in breeding swine, too much at- tention cannot be given to the selec- tion of the breeding stock. Both the strain and the individual sows used within the breed seleeted have mueh to do with the success and profit of raising pigs. At the Dominion Experimental Sta- bt tion, Kapuskasing, Ontario, a number of pure-bred Yorkshire sows are kept each year for breeding purpose. In selrcting these young sows, par- ticular attention is paid to the type, quality and prolificacy ref their an eesters whether they 'have been thrifty and eeon'otnie feeders and whether the dams have been good mothers. They are chosen individually for their good development, their clean-cut neck and head, their smoothness of shoulders, their strength, depth and reasonable length of body, and their reasonable Wring fo rib, strength of loin and generous supply of well-placed an well-developed teats.

The breeding records of this Station bring out some very interesting in- formati;can, Over a this- teen -year - period 183 litters have been farrowed giving 1922 pigs, 1400 of which were raised to weaning age, making an. average of 10.5 pigs born per litter and 7.7 pigs raised per lit- ter. The average numbers of pigs raised per, sow from one to seven years of age are as follows: 7.4; 8,3; 8.5; 7.3; 7.5; 6.3 and 5.6.
