Still Time to Plant There is still plenty of time to get in corn and roots and both crops are essential far feeding all kinds of live: stock, taking the place of .greenrgtss. in the ration long after the season for grass is over.' Corn is planted any time after danger of frost is passed. Mangels should be put in fairly early so that the seed will have the early moisture. Turnips are not planted before the second week in June and niay go in until about July 10. If .planted too early they h Y are liable to Y become tough and make less palatable feed than those which make most of their growth early in the fall.

She is a liability, but yet it is rather difficult for the dairyman: to make up his mind to send her to the block and take his loss. This goes - dun of keeping records of milk, cost of feed, and getting rid of poor cows has been discussed tines without number and yet many low ,producers continue to occupy a stall and con- sume as ntuclt feed as its stablemate which the records prove has returned a substantial profit over the cost of feed and labor. Buckwheat Very Useful In speaking about tweed control it is a good plat. to put in rape or bucks wheat, two crops that can go its right up to the middle of July. The first named snakes a splendid sheep pas- ture while the latter, of course, is un- excelled as a producer of feed grain. Both can also be Plowed under for enriching the soil, ,B-uckwheat is one of the most popular crops to sow hi the orchard' about the first of July, controlling the weeds, and surplus moisture and furnishing splendid feed and a run for poultry and hogs. Warm Weather Helpful Continued warm bright weather during the first two weeks of May did much to improve the appearance of alfalfa, clover and fall wheat, and new seeding recovered to some extent, ac- cording to reports coming from all parts of the province, There were many crops •plowed- under this spring, but many farmers reported that new seeding which they had intended to plow tinder, made wonderful recovery during early May. Many sections re- ported that the land has never worked better than during -the present month of seeding, WOLVERTON FLOUR MILLS CO..

Most of this loss is caused by internal parasites and. much of this is preventable.

Campaign Against Weeds The provincial authorities are leav- ing no stone unturned in their cam- paign against tweeds. Many Of the highways have the usual prolific crops along the sides of the road. Some of the farms throtigliout the country have crops of Creeds which will soon be ripening and spreading their seeds to the four winds, Delinquents is this respect will be giver alt opportunity. returns. One Bushel Per Acre Speaking in Saskatchewan recently, Hon. John. Bracken, Premier of Man- itoba, declared that an increase of one bushel ,per acre, which could easily be obtained if only the most casua•i attention were paid to the seed, would add to the value of Saskatchewan's grain crop, roughly speaking, about thirty million dollats. This does not apply to Saskatchewtan alone, where perhaps most attention must be paid to the sowing of clean seed, but also to Ontario. Think what thirty mil- lions of dollars would mean to Ont- ario's farm products this years Fruit Needs Moisture An adequate supply of moisture in the orchard is of great importance in the growing of a good crop of fruit, It the soil is low in moisture in the early part of the season, she fruit is not likely to set well. If there is a shortage of tnoisture during the sunt - mer and autumn the fruit will not size tip well and if the soil is dry when winter sets in the danger from root - killing is much greater, hence the im- portance of conserving moisture when there is any likelihood of there being a shortage. What is known as the sod -mulch system of orchard manage- ment is an excellent conserver •of moisture. Grass is spread over the soil under the trees, preventTag the growth of weeds and grass and saving the Moisture, heaving of the - plants especially on the heavier soils. Bttt hard luck has permanently discoura - an i never p ed g in- telligent Ontario farmer. Actual tests conducted under the direction of the 0,A.C. College show how weak- ened fields can be helped. Six alfalfa growers in Western Ontario top - dressed their alfalfa fields last sum- mer with fertilizers high in potash and phosphate and secured gains of 1360 to 8940 lbs. of green crop per acre. Of course soil must be well drained if it is to grow good alfalfa year after.year and generally it should be listed (one ton -to the acre) once in four years so as to keep conditions favorable for alfalfa growth. Will Lay Cornerstone The cornerstone for the new Ad- ministration Building and Students' Residence at the Ontario Agricultural College, Guelph, Ontario, will be laid on the afternoon of May 23rd by the Prime Minister of the Province, the Hon, G. Howard Ferguson. The cornerstone exercises will fol- low the •convoaation for graduates in agriculture, which will be held, in Me- morial Hall, and at which time de- grees will be conferred by Sir Wil- liam Mulock, Chancellor of Univers- ity nivers ity of Toronto; Sir Robert Falconer, President of the University; Hon. G. S. Henry, Minister of Public 1V -arks; Hon. J. S. Martin, Minister of Agri- culture; griculture; -Hon, Lincoln Goldie, Prov- incial Secretary, and other represen- tatives of the Government and assoc- iated institutions will -be present. The alumni of the instituion will also at- tend and take part in the ceremonies. May 53rd will be a red letter day in the history of the Ontario Agricultur- al College, and it is hoped, that a large number of friends throughout the province will attend. Commercial Fertilizer ' More and more fertilizer is being used in Ontario because our {rand has been depleted of plant foods and also because farmers are gradually learn- ing more about the ttse of fertilizers. Considerable study must be given the subject of Fertilizers before the best results can -be obtained. Good driain- age, good tillage, good seed and good cultural methods are all necessary be- fore fertilizers can be expected to make profitable returns. Properly used, commercial ,fertilizers will usu- ally give splendid results, lower the cost of production and increase farm a r+6., "Dr. K" one of .Ontario's outstand- . ing Percheron sires; owned by R.
