Still Time to Plant
There is still plenty of time to get

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

before the second week in June and

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-

Both can also be Plowed under for

of the most popular crops to sow hi

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,

• An Enormous Loss
A prominent authority has estimat-
ed that twenty-six million dollars is
the price paid by farmers and poultry
raisers• for loss .through diseases in
poultry flocks in Canada in the past
year. Most of this loss is caused by
internal parasites and. much of this is
preventable. A good deal of it oar
be avoided by keeping the young
chicks away front the adult birds and
on absolutely clean soil.
Campaign Against Weeds
The provincial authorities are leav-
ing no stone unturned in their cam-
paign against tweeds. Many Of the

the farms throtigliout the country
have crops of Creeds which will soon

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

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.
