The Clinton News Record, 1930-07-17, Page 6THE CLINTON-NEWS RECORD N1WS AND INFIORMATION FOR THE BUSY FARMER ( Furnished by the Departinent. of Agriculture Sheep Owners Sign Contracts More ,than 8,000 Canadian sheep , owners 'have signed contracts in. which they agree to market all wool in future through the Canadian Co- operative Wool Growers, and signat- 'ures'are stillpouring ef. The orig- inal objective of three million pounds which was set as the minimum a- mount necessary to ensure' the suc- cess of the new marketing policy has already been passed. Lice. and Mites No matter how carefully the• hen- house hes been cleanedranl.:disinfect ed lice and mites `will.putin their ap pearance before the summer is over.. They are a source of great annoy- ance to the birds and may become so' bad as to practically drive the flock out of the building A good dust' bath for the bees or dusting sodiuin fluoride into their feathers will help get rid of the vermin from the,bodies, but there are always some cracks a- round the walls and roosts where the .vermin hides during the day and come out to feed on the birds during the night. Ooal-oil has been used ef- fectively in destroying the pests on the roosts and a nicotine preparation painted on the roost in the evening Will destroy the vermin on both roosts . and birds. The fumes per- meating through the feathers' do. their work. Fruit Prosp- ects - Excellent Lincoln County, the leading tender fruit section of Ontario, reports one of the best crops of ail kinds of fruit in recent years. Sweet and sour cher- ries are excellent, but prices have been somewhat low. There was also a good showing of early vegetables. From the apple sections reports in- dicate that the crop will be consider'* ably smaller than a year ago. Or- ehards which have taken advantage of the spray service are coming on exceptionally well, but in other or- chards scab is making its appear- ance. There will be a considerable increase in the size of apples this Year.. Potato sections report an outlook for more than the average yield of potatoes this year and early potatoes are now finding their way to market. Canadian Rens Prominent Canadian entries in the over- seas section of the British national egg-Iaying contest are holding their own with the world's hest egg pro- ducers according to reports recently received, which show that Canadian hens hold third and fourth positions in the international contest, 'Weekly Crop Report "Markets are at a low ebb and farmers are only realizing $1.00 to $1.25 per cwt. for milk.". This is the By in the ointment of the most recent reports received from dis- trict agricultural representatives. The report comes from the dairy distirets, both of the Eastern and Western sections of the provinee. For the beef sections, similar , re- ports are received as to the effect of the slump in the price of beef cattle which has affected cattle grazers quite severely. ?rices for other farm eonmtodi- ties are likewise low. On the other hand, the prospects for crop yields are exeellent. Abundant rainfall has given the necessary moisture to the soil in most Tarts of the province and it is now estimated that there is nearly enough mois- ture to carry spring crops through to the ripening stage. In some sections there has been a trifle too much rain, particularly in North- ern Ontario where excessive wet weather damaged spring grains. Pastures are good practically all over the province and livestock is benefiting accordingly!„ There will be an average alfalfa crop and a very good hay crop of all kinds throughout Ontario. The stand of fall wheat is looking excellent, like- wise the various spring grain crops. Haying operations have been gen- eral with the quality of hay below average, due to the catchy weather. AIfaIfa seed producing sections re- port an unusually large acreage be- ing left tor seed. Seed is setting well and there will likely be a large drop of alfalfa seed this year. Growers of canning factory peas haveibeon, busy harvesting their crop. Reports indicate that the yield of canning peas is above normal, and vining stations and canning factories havebeen working to ca- pacity. The poultry market has been dull with the exception of eggs, which have moved readily at from 28c to 25c. Broilers are plentiful and hard to -sell, prices ranging from 60c to $1.25 each, depending' on size and quality. Northern Ontario Progresses There are many people,who think of Northern Ontario s a largo area producing a wealth of minerals and not a little pulpwood. It is good to know that gratifying progress is being made along the lines of dairy production all through 'that district known as the "Clay -Belt," whiph runs through Ontario north of the. Great'. Lakes and over into :Quebec. •In 1917 a creamery was established in New Liskeard, which _ made 40,000 .lbs. of butter that year. In, 1929 the 17 creameries in that district pro- duced over 1,000,000 pounds of but- ter and the market milk trade among the many towns and villages seems to be well, organized. There is a steady demand for good dairy cows and in 1928 fifty pure bred bulls were placed in Temiskansing alone. Prospects point to an excel- Ient dairy, development for Northern Ontario. Sheep Dipping Pays Wellington County now has 44 Community Sheep Dipping Tanks. Six new tanks have been built this spring and most of the dipping has been completed. Last year 9005 sheep were dipped. in 38 tanks but this year the numberwill exceed 10,000 or about one third of the sheep and lambs in ' the county. The cost is between three and four cents per head but those who clip regularly estimate that it is worth $1.00 per year per head to dip sheen and lambs. Thus the tanks in Wellington County can be figur- ed to be worth about $10,000 to `the sheep raisers this year. So stati-- factory have been the results that it is the aim of the Live Stock Im- provement Association to make Sheep dipping compulsory in this county in the course of a couple of years, as it is in Great Britain. It is scarcely human to leave whole floeks of helpless lambs covered with large hungry blrocl-sucking ticks, to say nothing about poor economy. 950 sheep were dipped. in two tanks last week which is about the record for this county. Short Course for Departmental Judges 'U'nder the supervision of Mr. J. Leckie Wilson, Superintendent of Ontario Agricultural Societies, a short course for Departmental Judges was held on July 2nd, 3rd, and 4th, at O.A.C. Over 125 judges were in attendance which included plowing snatch judges, standing field crop judges, and judges of heavy and light horses, beef and dairy cattle, sheep and swine. Wednesday was devoted mainly to the plowmen, the time being taken up with demonstrations in' the fields. In the evening a joint meeting of all judgeswas held in Mnssey Flail, where addresses were given on live -stock judging, crop competitions, and plowmanahip by experts in each branch. On Thursday' and Friday the live -stock men and field crop men were divided in groups and the time spent in practical judging and discussion. These courses were started a- bout fifteen years ago, and have been held at intervals of two years ever since.. Primarily ,they are to get judges from all parts of Ontario together for purposes of demonstra- tion and discussion so that a uniform standard can be kept for judging at competitions and shows throughout the Province.

Crisper . crunchier ... more Savory. And with virtually the same nourishment as hot cooked cereals! • That's because Puffed Wheat and Puffed Rice are made • in an entirely different way from all other cereals. Plump, choice4gtains of wheat and rice are sealed in huge bronze guns. The guns are revolved in fiery ovens. The natural moisture in each grain is changed to steam, Then the guns are feed. 125 million explosions occur in every grain. Each tiny food cell is blasted open. Thus every particle of the grain is made as compldely digestible as though they had been cooked for hours. And so Puffed Wheat and Puffed Rice attain the virtual nourishment of hot cooked cereals. This process explains why Puffed Wheat and Puffed Rice have an extra delicious flavor ... plus a crisp light daintiness that tempts the appetite. Serve these little nuggets of ridi grain nourishment for breakfast, luncheon and supper. They digest so easily that they're extra good for children's evening meal.

QUAKER PUFFED RICE AND PUFFED losions EMPIRE TRA 4 E is Canada's Roy. to Prosperity Worldwide conditions have created an economic situation that presents problems demanding the highest qualities of statesmanship for their solution. Since the war period, new tariff barriers have been created by many .countries, restricting the outlets for Canadian products and necessitating new trade arrangements. Early recognition of this trend provided the inspiration for the 'King -Dunning Budget, which has indicated the path along which Canada must proceed to ensure a continuation of her corn., mercial prosperity. The prompt development of trade within the Empire is the logical solution of the enormous problem involved; and the enthusiastic manner in which the King -Dunning Budget has been received throughout the Empire ensures Canada a most favourable position at the Imperial Conference for the interchange of products. Providing a market for Canada's farm products, ensuring the building up of a home -market for her manufactured products, th.e policy of the King admin- istration offers the greatest assurance of Canada's future prosperity. 'LOWER COST OF LIVING Budgets during the past nine years of Liberal Administration have lowered tariffs on many commodities and implements of production' these reductions have automatically lowered living costs to the Canadian public.
