The Clinton News Record, 1933-02-16, Page 6PATE 6 THE-CLINTON NEWS -RECORD TRURS., FEB. 16 '1933: Nr Ago Timely Information he Busy Farmer ( Furnished by the Department of Agriculture ) Eon. T. L. 'Kennedy, Minister of Agriculture, in addressing the an- nual meeting of the Dual -Purpose Shorthorn Club, urged the members to study feeding'and blood lines, in order to increase the butter -fat pro- duction of dual-purpose herds in the province. The members reported brisk bidding and good prices at the various sales held during 1932. 1 British Markets Warrant Increased Rog Production The opportunity for Empire couni. tries to increase shipments of pork products to the United Kingdom, is shown in reports to the Department The reports set forth that imports of bacon, from outside the Empire, average over 400,000 tons annually, Ninety per cent of the imports of bacon and ham were of foreign, sev- enty per cent of the bacon coming from Denmark, and eighty per cent of the hams from the United States, No Waste in Celery Celery is one of the most econ- omical vegetables one can buy, not only because of its special value as an agent in the promotion of health but also because every bit of the stock can be used in one way or another. Many people aro in the habit of throwing the leafy part +a- way as useless but this is a mistake as the leaves provide an interesting new variety of greens. It is also un- necessary' to discard the hard fib- rous butts as these are ideal for giv- ing a fine aromatic flavour to all soups, sauces and stews, Canadian Turkeys Welcome A Canadian representative has re- cently returned from Britain where he was associated with the marketing of the Christmas trade of about 00,. 000 fatted poultry. The shipment, which consisted mostly of turkeys, went over in "chil- led" instead of the usual frozen con- dition, therefore came in direct com- petition with the home -killed rather than imported stock. He report' that because of the quality and at- tractive presentation of the ship- ment, which was sold chiefly in Lon- don, the stock immediately attracted the attention of the wholesalers and was quickly sold at favourable prices. He was given the assurance of the trade that a shipment of equal qual- ity for the next Christmas season could easily be doubled in quantity without overstocking the market. CSC:e.e Europe Appreciates Apples Grown in Ontario Orcharde That European appreciation of On- tario -grown apples is increasing war indicated in a recent statement of P. W. Hodgetts, secretary, Ontario Fruit Growers' Association. He said that two more shipments, comprised of the Ben Davis variety, would leave for France on February 12 and Feb- rears, 26. These shipments, totalling sonic 5,000 barrels, will serve to utilize al. moat the entire Ontario surplus of this particular variety. Gr�-tb Small Seed Situation A recent survey of the small seed situation in Western Ontario, reveals that about 60 per cent of the red clover has been sold; 90 per cent of tho alfalfa; $0 per cent of the alsike; 50 per cent of the sweet clover; and 25 per cent of the timothy. Prices offered growers range ac. cording to quality. Red CIover is selling from 7 to 91-2 cents a pound• alfalfa, 12 to 14 cents; alsilce, 3 to 41-2 cents; sweet clover, 1 to 2 cents; and timothy 3 to 41-2 cents a pound. Screenings to Burn One of the interesting effects of the present low price for grains is shown in the fact that screening.' which during periods of high price found sale even in the export market as a constituent of feeding stuffs is noW being used for fuel. Demand for refuse screenings as feed has practically ceased and getting rid of this bulky and fast accumulating material was quite a problem for the elevators until a market was found for its use,as fuel at heat and pow - or plants. in Northwestern Ontario and in .Manitoba. Canadian Cattle Feeds Find New Market • Aceordipg to the ,United Kingdom Trade Commissioner a promising trade in :cattle feeds is in prospect in the British market. In the Jan- uary 21st issue of the Commercial Intelligence Journal it is stated that the importation of 'cattle feeds, con- sisting of bran and other flour mil- ling offal,, from Canada is compara- tively new, beginning in 1931 when Canadian shipments rose front prac- tically nil to 22,263 long tons (2,2'4C lbs.). Of this amount 6,000 tons were shorts and middlings and the remain- der bran, According to this report Great Britain imports about 300,000 tons of these products annually chiefly from foreign countries. Em- pire countries producing only some 76,000 tons in 1932. C✓ :3 O. Boys' and Girls' Club • There are now in the neighborhood of 1,300 boys' and girls' clubs in Can. oda,- with a membership of 21,322, These clubs under competent leader- ship engage in the study of a var- iety of subjects relating to she pro- jects, namely, dairy cattle, beef cat tie, swine, poultry, grain and pota- toes. In the fall of the year in each province the district teams are brought together in a competition and the winners are selected for s free trip to the "Royal," where they again compete with high teams from other provinces. Only members be. twedn 16 and 20 years of age are eligible for this test and wonderfu' prizes; other rewards are offered fel members between 13 and 16 years of age. The event at the "Royal" it symbolic of much earnest effort a- mong progressive clubs in agriculture al districts from one end of Canada to the other. c More Sheep Registered In spite of hard times, sheep breed- ers of Ontario continue to improve and enlarge their flocks. The re- port of the Secretary and directors at the recent annual session of the Ontario Sheep Breeders' Association showed nearly 1,200 more sheep reg- istered during 1932 than in 1931. En- tries have been made at all the lead- ing fairs and exhibitions during the past year, and an exhibit of sheep was again sent to the International Livestock Show in Chicago. A. A. McMillan, Federal official, explained grading methods and told member" of the Ontario Association that snore than the usual four graders for On- tario would be considered if such move were recommended by the As- sociation. He also emphasized the benefits accruing from the Govern- ment policy of supplying purebred rams, stating that there was a grea' need for such stock in some of the flocks. ci=_y Bacon Saw Train A, determined campaign to improve and increase the bacon industry pro- duction in Ontario has been given new impetus 'with the tour of the Bacon Sow Train through the rural districts of the province. It is hoped that this train which is in charge of R. W. Wade, Livestock Commission. et for Ontario, wiII enlarge the in- terest of farmers at the points vis Red through lectures and the sale of good type bred bacon sows and some boats.. Forty-five stops are being made throughout Ontario and it ie anticipated that from 150 to 20e sows will be distributed from the train and from 15 to 20 hours. The sow stock on the train includes r considerable number which were sol ected from ear -lot entries and per entries at the Royal Winter Fair, The train provides an excellent med rum for securing select bacon stool, - of the highest quality at a very moderate price. Poultry: Culling Culling is a term applied to the re- moval of the unprofitable or nonlay- ing birds from the flock. It should be to a limited extent, a continuous process because diseased, crippled,or otherwise defective birds should 'be removed from the flock as soon as they are detected. Culling .for egg• production should begin about the middle of June, as this eliminates the loafers. • The second culling should be done during 'October, the aim being to select the best individ- uals 'for breeding.' Health vigour size trueness to N type and colour, as well as high egg production, should be guide posts to a higher standard. In the selection of profitable liens, there :ars three things that should be known: first, present production; second, persis, tense of production; third, intensity} or rate of production. Present pro- duction can be determined by exam- ining the vent, the abdominal capac- ity, the spread 'of pelvic bones, the wattles, and the ear lobes. Persis- tence or length of production is de- termined by pigmentation, moulting, and body capacity. 'Heavy produc- tion removes such quantities of fat and colour that the skin, over the entire body, becomes white and very thin, soft and pliable. The shanks and beak also lose their colour. The intensity or rate of production is judged largely by the head and lay- ing temperament. Trapnesting is not practical in all cases, but experiments have been conducted at the Dominion Experi- mental Station, Lennoxville, Que.; wherein the results of culling, by observing loss of pigmentation, and other noted changes due to heavy production, have been compared with the trapnest records, and in most instances, the culling by observation has proven very satisfactory. Thus, with little practice, the ave- rage poultryman can, by this method, with very little expense, cull out the nonproducers, weed out the unprofit- able "boarders," and devote his time and energy to fewer, but better pro- ducing units. The results of con- tinued culling will be lower feed costs, just as many eggs, and a satis- fied owner.
