Strange to say The July 31, 1932, will be in the neigh- borhood of 103 million bushels, aC- cording to an estimate published by the Bureau of 'Statistics. This is the smallest carry-over' since . July 31, 1928. C��C=o Will Grow Lima Beans a A fairly large acreage of Lima beans will be grown in East Elgin for canning factory use, according to reports received at the St. !Thom- as office of the Department. Pro- duction tests have been made In both East and West Elgin during the last three years, and satisfactory yields of Lima beans reported. The average yield is 1,300 to 1,500 pounds to the acre. The acreage of 'soy beans in the county will be small. Plan Your Program there has been an unprecedented' de-: nand for registered grain. I-lard4 ware .merchants report a wonderful sale of screening materials for fan- ning mills. Druggists report greatly increased sales of Formalin for treat- ing grain for sniuit. Seed cleaning plant operators report heavy increas- es in business. These facts all indicate that the average farmer is not only taking advantage of low prices'but is dg his part toward meeting depressed prices.

In ex- periments com- pletedchewing—and Experimental Farm, pilchard ar from the British Columbia coast was proven to be as potent as'a good grade of poultry cod liver oil in both vitamins A and D. Consequently, when of good quality, it may substi- tute for cod liver oil for poultry feeding. Owing to transportation costs for cod liver oil as mentioned above, pilchard oil will without doubt '1 to a ' er on for cod liver e substitute u st sb great extent in British Columbia. The extent to which it will supersede cod liver oil in Eastern Canada will without doubt depend upon its avail- ability and its production at a suf- ficiently low figure to cover trans- portation costs from British Colum- bia and still compete with cod liver nil in price. Since pilchard oil has been used in the past mainly far in- dustrial purposes with a low return to the producers it is confidently hoped, in view of the apparent qual- ities of the oil, that it will be avail- able at a very reasonable price for poultry use. Now is, the time to plan next win- ter's feeding program, not next win- ter. At this time, farmers can es- timate whether they will be short of hay and succulenS roughage be- fore next spring comes around. There is still time to sow annual hay crops, such as soy beans, or a mix- ture of oats and peas. Both of these crops give high yields, and high feeding value. An extra acre of corn for silage might be valuable. • orb Weekly Crop Report Heavy rains have assured ample moisture in practically every part of Ontario. Crops are looking splen- did. Fall wheat, clover and alfalfa are making excellent growth. The apple bloom is very heavy in most orchard districts, and a consider- able increase is shown over the province in the number of • orchards being sprayed. Farmers are com- ing to realise that they must either spray or cut down their crohards altogether. Seed corn, this year, is not only reasonable in price, but is of ex- ceedingly high quality. A few ex- tra tons of high protein hay, and a well-filled silo, will be of consider- able assistance in reducing the feed bill next winter. Better Farm Practices In spite of the depression and the shortage of ready cash farmers ev- erywhere in Ontario are using this year more careful and thorough farm practices than ever before. Seed -merchants report that they have never had such a demand for high class seeds. Alt available sup- plies of alfalfa, alsike, red clover) wheat, barley, oats, buckwheat and peas have been purchased and sown cents per pound, ` (the present t cottonseedmea a basis),it means that each ton of cut' in Jul is on the average worth $1.70, per ton more in fee in e than the average euti In other words, the protein in each ton of early cutay will replace that purchased in' 3 to pounds of roteiu concentrates. earlycuttingof hay in Eastern da in 1932 can do mus towards the feed bills and still keep the livestock in good condition.

In summer, ex- posure to the hot sun innnediately af•, ter oiling will often result in fur- ther blistering and two to three days should elapse before the treated hogs are again turned out to pasture. Used tractor and automobile oil have been used to advantage as a curative treatment for sunscald but these have not proven to be as ef- fective in the control of this condition as has the above mentioned mixture. Tr. Many Poor Iiatches Reports received at the Experi- mental Farm, Ottawa indicate that chicks are not hatching as plenti- fully as usual this spring. Hatches as low as 10 per cent. of the -total eggs are reported, while 20 per cent. and 25 per cent. hatches are not un- common. This condition seems to be fairly general throughout the whole of Canada. These poor hatches, a- long with the late season, niay have a decided effect upon egg produc- tion next winter. Buyers should be advised to buy late chicks with cau- tion because experiments have shown that chicks that cannot mature be- fore winter are a poor investment. RIB.ROLL, HOOFING Colored or plain.

Bauer, secretary Ontario Growers' Markets Council, Hamilton, about half the apple orchards in Ontario are infected with the apple maggot. The infestation in the main is slight, but there are some heavily- diseased orchards in some counties. Mr. Andrew Fulton, overseas fruit representative, has advised that Bri, tain will place an embargo on all early supplies of apples if maggot is found in one shipment. This danger necessitates growers taking; every practical measure to eliminate the insect from all conmereial orchards at least. They are urged to spray thoroughly for control of these pests.

Weed inspectors reported Sow Thistle to be the worst 'weed on cultivated land with Twitch Grass a elose second. Both these 'weeds are now found in every county. Sonia counties reported Sow Thistle to be spreading while others main- tained it is decreasing. One town- ship reported a decrease of 305.

Both these weeds grow rapitlly• after cutting and many road authorities felt that they would have to resort to chemicals to des- troy roadside weeds.

Why Cut Hay Early The News -Record's Offer of Between 3c and 4c more per dozen For Eggs, taken on Subscription, is meeting with such a Response that We Have Decided to Extend the Time Until (Experimenal Farms Note) The farmers of Eastern Canada are dependent to a great extent upon other provinces for their high pro- tein concentrates. Hay of good quality can be produced here and the proper handling of this crop is nec- essary to ensure saving the most. expensive food nutrient it contains, namely, protein. The De: inion Experimental Form at Neiman, Nova Scotia, in '1930 un- dertook determine the value, if. any, in cutting hay early. Samples of ' clover, timothy and couch were tut I,1 July, and similar samples from adjacentareas were taken a month later. These were analyzed by the Dominion Chemist, at Ottawa: The . results of these analyses showed that the early cut clover contained 1.8 per cent more protein and 6.06 per cent less; fibre than the late out. This, • iri spite .of the foot that considerable. second.gr.awth'was contained in the late cutting.
