Corn has improved with the warm weather and shows satisfactory growth and color. Pastures show improvement but still need more moisture. The yield of canning peas will be less than normal. Tomato plants are coming along nicely and forming New Zealand in October, November well. Root crops are promising with and December, and New Zealand Trade Is Reciprocal . The trade in applies is reciprocal, Canada sending fresh crop apples to the exception of sugar beets which are patchy and a poor yield is fore- shadowed. Damage to orchards due to winter kill was more severe than anticipated and light crops of apples, peaches, pears and plums are indicat- ed. Tobacco plants are showing good growth but due to the activity of the cutworm a small percentage of the crop will be spotty and in Norfolk County some scattered damage has resulted from winds. Expensive Marketing The carrying over of cattle from one market to another is an expen- sive business, detrimental to the in- terests of both procueer and trade. It is the opinion of the department that livestock markets would show a much more even trend if the habit of loading up every Monday with . the week's supply were discontinued. Bet, ter distribution of deliveires to the stockyards would seem to be the ans- wer. In the Province of Ontario, mo- tor truckdeliveries have reached a very heavy volume. At Toronto al- most half the supply of cattle during the month of May, was received off trucks, and a large percentage arriv- ed at the market without pre -notice. Water for the Poultry Extremely warm weather often causes heat prostration among fowl. Therefore an abundant supply of clean fresh water should be available to the growing and laying flock. Wa- ter, making up 66 per cent of an egg, makes its use imperative to good egg production, and also helps greatly in the assimilation of 'poultry feeds. Clean water is necessary not only from a sanitation standpoint, but al-+ so to help control egg flavor. sends supplies from: her new crop by direct steamer to Halifax for distri bution and sale in May, June and July when domestic grown compet- ing varieties are practically off the market and new Canadian apples are not ready for marketing until August or September. Advices to the department indicate that New Zealand desires to increase her purchases of Canadian goods an- nually and the credits established by the sale of apples help Canadian export trade. The value of such trade .is invariably in favor of Can- ada—for the fiscal year ending March, 1988, Canada sold to New Zea- land goods to the value of $4,480,000 and New Zealand sold to Canada for the same period goods to the value of $2,575,000.

Ontario Cattle Raisers Organize for Exporting County organization meetings of beef cattle raisers are now being held throughout -the interested districts in Western Ontario. Middlesex and Wellington led off a short time ago, while within the last fortnight Kent, Lambton, Huron and Bruce, each have held meetings. The remaining in- terested counties are organizing shortly. The meetings are being held to form county organizations to be later co-ordinated into an Ontario Cattle Export Association. Dairy. cattle raisers.. interested in export will also be represented on the Asso-. ciation.

Hanover Post. *.* HAS NOVEL PLANT GROWING (Experimental Farms Note) A feeding trial was started at the Dominion Experimental Farm at Nappan, N.S., in the fall of 1930, with the object of determining the relative values of barley and corm in poultry rations. Two pensof pullets were selected each fall for this test. They were sisters or half-sisters and as uniform in size and age as it was possible to select them. Pen 1 was fed a dry mash made up as follows: 100 pounds each of bran, shorts, middlings, corn meal and . crushed oats, 50 pounds each of beef meal and charcoal, 25 pounds each of fish meal and dried' buttermilk, 15 pounds of bonemeal, 5 pounds salt and one gallon of cod liv. er oil. The grain ration was 200 pounds each of wheat, and cracked corn and 100 pounds of oats. Pen 2 received the same ration except that cracked corn in the grain ration was replaced by the same weight of whole barley and the corn meal in the dry mash was replaced by ground barley meal. In addition to the aforemen- tioned rations, each pen had free ac- cess to oyster shell and grit; also green feed, such as mangels, cabbage, swedes, cut clover or sprouted oats. Averaging the three years' re- sults, the pen receiving corn in their ration consumed an average •of 3079 Pounds of feed at a cost of $40.60 and laid an average of 4461 eggs, having a market value of $71.24, leaving a profit over feed cost of $30.64, The average feed•cost per dozen was 11.61 cents. Pen 2, with the same number of birds, consumed on the average 3320 pounds of feed at a cost of $44.40 and laid an average of 4627 eggs, with a market value of $74,68, leaving a profit over feed cost of $30.27. The average feed cost per dozen was 11.62. cents. The average cost of the corn was $1.46 and of the barley $1.41 per hun- dredweight. The results of the three years feed- ing test would indicate that barley may be used very successfully to re- place corn in the poultry ration. Some Poultry Parasites Easily Controlled. At this season red' mites and body lice frequently cause serious loss in production, deaths may follow a bad infestation among both the young and the old stock, and cifnsiderable time and care may be required to bring the flock back into condition after the trouble has been located. Carelessness or unsanitary condi- tions are usually responsible for the presence of these pests. They thrive rapidly in in hens a multi 1 a and and Py p Y Y: filth if it is allowed to accumulate in corners or cracks and crevices of the henhouse. Lice live entirely on the body of the bird and irritate by crawling and biting. Their eggs are laid at the base of the feather, usually around the vent or under the wing. Fortun- ately,they are easily controlled ed and by using ordinary precautions the flock may be kept free .and clean. The usual practice at the Experimen- tal Station at Harrow is to apply Blue Ointment, which can be obtained at any drug store. A portion of blue ointment about the size of a pea is smeared between the thumb and first and second fingers and rubbed in a. round the vent and at the base of the wing close to the body. One thorough application' when the birds are being placed in their winter quarters is usually sufficient to keep them clean for the year. However, the birds should be examined at intervals bee cause of reinfestation may occur dur. Ontario Poultry Breeding Stations Mr. W. J.

YE EDITORS For three years we scarcely got a peek at American money but this year it is flying around quite freely. We were tendered an American ten dollar bill the other day and hadn't enough in the till to take $2.50- out of it --quite a common :occurence.. We went into the bank for change and it just cost us 40c. Very apologically we tendered the change to our cur. tomer but he was quite agreeable and said it was not somanyyears ago that he made 15c on every American dollar. The shoe is on the other foot, now, and you know we Canadians hate to take the money. Wiarton Echo. For a -number of years a system of poultry flock improvement has been conducted in Ontario under the direction of the Ontario, Department of Agriculture and supervised by the Poultry Department, 0. A. College, Guelph. Under this system outstand, ing farm flocks are enrolled as "On- tario Poultry Breeding Stations" and the following conditions apply: The flocks may be of any of the standard breeds and 'varieties of poultry, specially selected and culled, which may serve as a source of sup- ply of hatching eggs or breeding stock. ' All ,flocks shall be 'visited at such. intervals as, may be deemed advisable. The flock owner shall keep such records as may be required and shall at all times. givethe fullest co-opera- tion in carrying out the work. There must be evidence.. of special care in regard to cleanliness and the general health and quality of the stock. The -general condition must be good and, in addition, it must be shown that the flock yields high grade eggs for hatching and market purposes,' and also serves as a source of inspiration for others. Any party wishing to enter a flock should forward their app!ition to ca the Poultry Department, 0. A. Col- lege, Guelph, on or before August-lst. Application forms together with a copy of the rules and regulations inay be obtained by writing immediately. to the Ontario Department of Agri- culture, Clinton, Ont. *ek# CUSTOMS OFFICE TO BE CLOSED AUGUST 1ST After August 1st the doors of the Mitchell Customs •Office will b'e closed according to official notice received here, The cessation of this service recalls the history of this institution which has served this district for many years. • The first customs office was located in the Oddfellows' Block, Dr. J.

The present high price of gold has also brought about the reopening of mines that .had been closed down for some years. Everyone who hasn't been up here wants to know what the Ferguson Highway, is like. It is a good gravel and crushed stone road, not as smooth of course as our pavements and the going is a bit slower.

EDITOR MOTORS 400 MILES INTO NORTH COUNTRY AND PARKS BESIDE HOME TOWN - CITIZEEN During the past few days we have been, and still are, at this time of writing, on a motor trip to the top of Northern Ontario with, members of the family. It has been so far a most interesting trip. For several reasons. It is the first long motor trip we have ever taken en famille. It is the first time we have seen a great deal of the North except from the railway train. And lastly, because 'we had glimpsed this northland when it was in a prim- itive pioneer state twenty-four years ago and it is interesting now, as one goes along, to note the remarkable development of the new country. It was in July, 19104 that we were one of a press 'party of a hundred or more to leave Toronto by special train on a trip northward by the T. & N. 0. Railway which had just been opened as far as Cochrane a short trine be- fore. Notable members of our party were Sir Mackenzie Rowell, one-time Premier of Canada, the late Senator Jaffray, the president • of theGlobe, and Col. Henry Watterson, famous editor of the Louisville Courier -Jour- nal, who had come to Canada to speak at our Canadian. Press Conven- tion. Our first stop on that occasion was at Cobalt where we visited a number of the leading silver mines. Cobalt was then one of the world's leading silver camps. Most of those mines have since been exhausted and the low silver market today has also contributed to .closing other mines. The town has now perhaps one-third of its former population. If you want, fine dahlias sde that your plants grow to a single stem. Leave the strongest, but cut off all others. Nip out the terminal' bud and the two side ones immediately below which will allow the plant to grow 6 or 8 very fine blooms. Stake the plants as soon as they are 20 inches high. Another important thing ing is to keep them growing as once a dahlia stops growing the stem becomes woody and all energy goes to the root and the result is an indifferent. bloom. The way to keep them grow-, ing is to cultivate deeply until near the end of the month, after •rain, break up the top soil so that 'the ground will not become hard. After the end of the month just keep the surface loose and free. with a fine rake. It pays to start early with the spray as an ounce of prevention will keep most of the pests away, spray under as well as the top of the fol- iage. Remember there is no substit- ute for good cultivation. A rake may raise blisters but 'will also raise a wonderful bloom. Try it this year. —Pickering News.

THOSE TAIL LIGHTS Late Saturday night we were driv- ing toward Arnberley and as we passed through Lucknow the exodus from the Saturday evening's shopping was in full swing. The road is quite wide from Lucknow to Arnberley with the exception that it is narrow after one passes Lochalsh, and the short hills make visibility none too good. It was on this section of road that we came very close to plowing into a buggy that didn't carry a tail light. Fortunately we were driving slowly as we do not like driving over that waving piece of road after dark ex- cept at a slow speed. 'We just got aver the top of one of these short hills, when a few yards in front of us was a buggy without a tail light. We got b!y successfully, but our old heart just about stood still and the driver of the buggy probably did not realize how very close he had been to a smash-up. A driver of a car or buggy which does not carry a tail light is a men-, ace' on the road. For their own pro- tection as well as to help guide other drivers it is absolutely necessary that all vehicles carry tail lights after dark.—Wingham Advanec-Times. In those days New Liskeard, capi- tal of the Clay Belt, was surrounded by bush. Our press party were tak- en for a .drive by horse and buggy through the neighboring district over almost impassable roads. Today the district has been largely cleared of wood and is a smiling countryside with fine farm buildings which com- pare favourably with the best sections of Old' Ontario. Mixed farming is carried on. Roots and vegetables do especially well. As we carne through New Liskeard on Wednesday, the day that the Hepburn cabinet was offici- allyannounced, we recalled the fact that A. W. Roebuck, the new Attor- ney -General, was the youthful pub-, Esher. of a newspaper at New Lis- keard on our last visit twenty-four years ago and he had been one of the speakers at a banquet given the visit- ing press party on that occasion.
