Farmer's Egg 'Associations
Doing Big Business
It would appear from the state-
ment showing the volume of business.
done by the Eastern Ontario Egg
and Poultry Associations since the
first one began business on Decem-
ber 19, 1934, up to"May 31, 1937, that
combined they area substantial busi-
ness unit.
There were at the end of May of
this year 22 associations operating,
the oldest having been in business 27
months, the youngest only two weeks.
The total consignments of eggs
marketed in the period under review
was 1,281,960 dozen or 42,732 cases
for anaggregate price paid in cash
to the farmer of $257,646.84. .An es-
timate of 2.5 cents per dozen was the
cost of express charges on shipments
of eggs to markets, managers' com-
missions and other incidentalover-
head charges.
Except at five of the 22 points in
the Ottawa Valley the associations
'use the railway stations for the re-
ceiving and shipping centre.
On the' 1,281,960 dozen of eggs
handled an aggregate increased rev-
entre estimated at $38,458.80 has ac-
crued to the farmer members of the
associations.
Prior to the formation of the asso-
ciations practically all the farmers in
the Ottawa Valley sold their eggs ei-
ther to stores or itinerant buyers, of-
ten not on grade as required by the
regulations of the Dominion Depart-
ment of Agriculture, but on an ave-
rage price and without troubling a-
bout the prevailing price on the Mon -
',real market, the governing factor in
connection with the sale of eggs in
Eastern Ontario.
At each of the association's re-
ceiving'points the producers are paid
on the basis of grade and the ave-
rage of the week's price on the Mon-
treal market less the deduction for
express, manager's commission and
other minor expenses.
There are indications of further
substantial growth of this farmers
co-operative movement in Eastern
Ontario for Poultry Services, Live
Stock Branch, Dominion Department
of Agriculture, under whose guid-
ance, to a certain extent, the move-
ment was started and developed, is
constantly being appealed to by
groups of farmers in other districts
to give particulars on how an asso-
ciation should be organized ' and op-
erated,
Control. Of Virus Diseases
Of Potatoes
Mosaic, leaf roll and spindletuber
are three important diseases of virus
origin, commonly found affecting the
potato. Thesediseases do not herald
their presence by the production of
rots or wiltings, and thus may eas-
ily be overlooked by the casual ob-
server. Nevertheless, .such diseases
may reduce yields as much as 25 per
cent and they are now recognized as
the disorders responsible for the,
"running cut" or degeneration of po-
tato varieties er strains.
Mosiac :diseases are characterized
by the mottling effects which they
produce in the foliage., ' Leaf roll,
causes a ,slight general yellowing of
the foliage and an upward rolling of
the leaves. Spindle tuber intensifies
the normal green colour of leaves, im-
parts an upright, staring appearance
to the plant, and causes the produc-
tion of spindly tubers with bulging
eyes. The .infective agents of these
three diseases occur in all parts, in-
cluding the tubers of diseased plants.
These diseases are all infectious, and
each can be transmitted to healthy
plants by several methods, especially.
by insects and grafting,

Potato growers are urged to
adopt the system of tuber -unit plant -i
ing in isolated seed plots. Such plots
should be rogued thoroughly, shortly)
after the plants emerge and the prac
tiee continued at weekly intervals'
throughout the growing season. If
mosaic is eliminated from the seed
source, aphid transmission of disease
is greatly lessened, In roguing seed
plots or large fields, remove aphid
infested, virus infected plants as
gently as possible. Rogued plants
should be deposited in some type of
closed container, carried from the
field and then destroyed, preferably
by burning, Do not pile rogued plants

are newand loftier, buildings, new

amateur photographer of today, so
web equipped, as he is to take pie
Mirage will find lasting pleasure in
mailing a photographic record of the
changing appearance of the com-
munity in which he lives.' Pictures
