Biologically Tested Fish Oils in Poultry Feeding (Experimental Farms Note) Fish liver and body oils are the most efficient pract1cal sources of vitamins .A and D which are essen- tial to growth and normal bone for- mation respectively fee poultry. In additions the complete absence or serious depletion of the former from the ration of growing or mature birds brings about a condition knows as avitaminosis which may have ser- ious results and Will cause loss oil health and production and finally death. Similarly, absence of Vitamin D causes rickets in'y0ung chicle.; with consequent cessation of development and death and in mature fowl less viten a r'i0ltetic condition:, cessation of production and depletion of the skeletonal structure, The importance of these vitamins to normal well be - ing and productivity of poultry will be readily 'a1 reciated, p;il•ticularly- in view' of the demands made upon utility poultry today. It, is , ssential" therefore Oat ab adequate sluice of these vitamins be supplied, Tho vitamin:A and D content of :fish ' oils • varies greatly according to the season of the year, the type of food avails able to the fish, from which the oil. comes and the cafe given to the oil •' in handling and refining. The only y accurate method of determining the • vitamin content of these oils at the present time is through the biolo- gical test which consists in determin- ing the ability of a representative sample of any oil to supportornma1 growth and ,Nome development at certain levels . of feeding to young rats or preferably to chicks. ,Since. these oils represent the 1rinat expen- sive ingredient of the•ratien, although •poor economy to buy oils of lancer - tali vitamin content if biolcgically tested poultry oils are available. If biologically tested oils are not used it is recommended that oil be obtain- ed from one or other of the reputable manufacturers of poultry oils, who produce a consistently high grade pro- duct.

The work is being done in co -opera-, tion with the agricultural ecenonicr branch of the Federal Department, SweetClover Ensilage "The most suitable stage at which to cut sweet clover for ensilage is when the majority of plants are in full bloom," writes E. •S- Hopkins, Dominion Field Husbandman, in his annual report for 1931. He also ob- serves: "It is feasible to haul the crop to the silo immediately after cutting or with in two or three hours while the addition of water to sweet clover ensilage is not eeconnnended. As is the case with oats-peas-vetell ensilage, sweet clover held in stor- age for periods varying from three to nine months does not appear to sustain any damage or lose any ef its palatability. Weekly Crop Report Dufferin County reports some po- tatoes moving at 50 to 60' cents per 00 ib. bag. Wiheat in Halton is run- ning as high as 50 bus. to 62 bus. per acre. Huron has had yields of bar- ley up to 50 bus. per acre on sonic fauns. Essex has harvested a valu- able late taihato crop. A considerable number of Western feeder and stock- er cattle carne into ICent recently. The bean crop in Kent is spotty due ,,,to excessive rainfall just after plant- ing time. The grain crap in Lincoln is disappointing. Middlesex has also had several loads of western cede brought in during the past few weeks .and more farmers than usual plan tot go West for their Feeders. In Ox- ford, Cats yielded as high as 70 bus. per acre, but the apple crop there will be only 50 per cent, of last year Durham has had good yields of wheat, peas and barley. Ontario and York counties both report wheat yields of 45 bus. per acre as quite common, Corn will be a bunpor crop in Lan- ark. In Leeds several T. B. tests are under way.

A. Carroll, secretary Ontario Marketing Board. "A definite .step towards improve- ment of quality," he continued, "was taken recently, when , the Ontario meat packers agreed to co-operate in grading hogs on the rail. I' am hop- ing that we may consider this as 6 forerunner of what we may expect in other farm products. "The most effective educational work for the irnprevenent of quality is done, in my opinion, at the mar- ketplace. Handlers of farm pro- ducts can do much towards improv ing quality, if they will buy accord- ing to grade. Ontario Packers' Gesture m "Many farmers take pride in their craft and invariably strive to pro. duce the best. A large number, bow ever; will change tbeir methods only when shown that it pays to do so. "It is difficult to forsee any real improvement in quality, while the 111811 producing an inferior product it receiving a price almost as high ar the careful farmer, who takes painr to turn out a top grade article. The schttion, in my estimation lies with the buyers of farm products. I be- lieve that when buyers will offer a cash inducement to the, farmer pro- ducing top quality, only then will a gonial improvement be effected, Ir other words, I am convinced tbat purchasing by grade is the only ans- wer to the question of imm'oving the quality of farm produbts." Ontario and the Grain Show Ontario will be well represented at the World's Grain Show i11 Regina. July 24 to August 5, 1933, stated ilen Thos. L. Kennedy, Minister of Agri- culture, at a• meeting ef the Cntarir Committee recently. IIe suggested that an active program be carried of this fall and winter to acquaint all grain anti seed growers of 'the oppor- tunities of eomneting at the firs' World's Grain Show and of assisting all exhibitors in transporting exhibits to Regina. Prospective exhibitors are advised to send 2 pound represen- tative samples to the Field Husband- ry Department, 0.A,C. Guelph where they will be carefully examined And suggestions made ,for their improv: anent. Later all exhibits of seeds will be .collected at Guelph and forward ed to Regina without transportation cost to the exhibitor from Guelph to Regina and return. Col. Kennedy further advised the Committee that Ontario should be re - resented in the Inter -college and tinier Grain Judging Competiroils Plans are being completed for holding Grain Judging Competitions at sev- eral stratecic points throughout the Province. The winners in each re- gional coopetition will in all proba- bility be brought to Guelph and a fin- al. Provincial Seed Judging Competi- tion will be held in which three young men will be selected to represent On- tario at the World's Grain Show Jun- ior Judging Competition. Every Jun- ior Fanner. in Ontario who can com- ply with the rules will have an op- portunity of whaling for himself a trip to the greatest grain :show ever held and at the same time an oppor- tunity of competing: in a grain judg- ing competition that will excell in im- portance the Live Stock' Judging Cern petitions at the Royal Winter Fair at Toronto and the International Live Stock Show at Chicago. 'Col. Kennedy eniphasized the im- portance of the Junior phase of the show and pointed out that the knowledge gained in coed judging by every man entering the preliminary competitions would justify many times over the cost of preparing and transporting g .judging team to Re- ginA. , Addresses were given by 'Prof- 11.

The gilts selected for breeding .pur- poses'should not be bred too 'young because the young sew will not usu- ally have • sufficient strength . and vi- tality to witihstand the heavy drain on her system resulting from her own growth and the production of a strong, healthy litter. Experience at the Dominion Experimental Sta. tion, Lacombe, Alberta. indicates that gilts should not be 'bred until they are ,at least eight montlis old and well developed . for their age. The very young sow is soldorn able to raise a fair-sized litter of pigs, and if she raises only a few pigs in her Dist litter her mammary glands do not develop properly and, as a consequence, subsequient litters will suffer•, all of which tends to de- plete her future usefulness. • Though the sow need not be fat she should be full of vitality and thriving at the time she is bred. In many eases litters are small and weak, simply- due to breeding the sow too soon after weaning a large litter, rr when in too thin condition. Depth of Ploughing (Experimental Farms Note) The question of the best depth to plough for grain and subsequent crops has been asked by many in- terested un the question of improved methods in agriculture. An experi- ment was started in 1922 at the Do- minion Experimental Farm, Nappan! Nova Scotia, to secure data that plight answer this question in so far as a medium to heavy clay loans soil is concerned. A. five-year rotation of swedes, oats seeded, clover timothy, oats is fellowed. The timothy sod is ploug- ed at 5, 7 and 9 inch depths in the fall on three of the plats, while other plots are ploughed 5 and 7 inches deep in the spring. The nine-year aver- age yield of oats following the fall ploughed plots is 47.6 bushels, 45.6 bushels and 47.2 bushels per acre re- spectively for the depths given above The plots ploughed 5 and 7 incites in the spring have averaged 40.6 and 10.7 bushels per acre respectively, The yield of swedes the fallowing year after the land was ploughed at these depths 'varies from 17.17 tots. per acre for the 7 -inch spring plough- ed plot to 18.96 tons for the 5 -inch fall ploughed plot, not a significant difference, These result; roveal tate fallowing points of itfurest: (1} The deep ploughing of sod Ianel die] not bring about an increased yield i11 grain; (2) There was no appreciable in- crease in the yield of swedes grown 011 land that had been ploughed deep the previous year; (S) The results in- dicate that fall ploughing will give appreciably higher yields than spring plottg11ir1g on medium to heavy clay soils. crop Report Septa Sth, 1032:—Below will be found a brief synopsis of telegraphic reports received at the Head Office of the Bank of Montreal from its Branches.

Province of a Newspaper It would be comical were it not somewhat pathetic, the way 3102V8 - paper offices are besieged by their friends, urging them to "roast" this and that; to "see to it" that this and that is connoted; to have this or that done in the city or country.

Tiris is eesiecialiy true in orchards under sod culture, although even orcheeds ur1- der''clean cultivation are frequently eueject to eensiderable damage from this 'cause. ; The • anieunt of damage caused by these animals varies great - 1y from 'yearto year, depending largely upon their available, supply of food. For this reason orchardists are prone to overlook the necessar7 precautionary lneasur:'es, which 'would reduce this da•1T1age . to a mini:Mum, under- these Conditions, damage may be slight for two or three years, and' then will come an exceptionally bad year -when whole orchards may be completeIy girdled, resulting not only. he a heavy financial lose but aI- so a loss of years of tithe as well. . , In the orchard at the Experimental Station, Fredericton, N.B.; even .well. grown .trees, fifteen years of age,. are not immune to severe girdling in a bad year, It would thus- seeni that all trees, grown and a system of sod culture, should 'be protected un- til at least fifteen years of age. Sev- eral methods of protection .may be employed, the one chosen depending upon the permanency of protection desired and the amount of money a- vailable. For young trees, wrapping the trunk with building paper is quite often practised. The material itself is inexpensive but the labour charge' is high as it has to be removed in the spring. Wood veneer is 'also some times used, but has the disadvantage of lasting for only a few years. Wher all points are considered, it would appear that galvanized wire screen makes the most effective protection. The initial cost is high, but as ie only has to be placed once and will last for a large number of years, it will be found cheaper in the long run. This wire should be cut into pieces large enough to encircle the trunk, and leave room for expansion of the trunk, as the tree grows. The lower endi should be buried about one inch in the soil, in ordeh' to prevent mice from working underneath. Various other methods of pro- tection against ,nice are being experi- mented with at the Experimntal Sta- tics, Fredericton, ND. but as yet, no method has been found which has given 00 meth satisfaction as the use of galvanized wire screen.
