This can ,be done in two, obvious ways: first, producing at . the sane costs;. and second, producing. .:t'he. same eta hewer cost, ,Perhaps bhe most ,important method of reducing the cost of producing. craps is to increase the ':Yield. Most Of bhe items incurred in' the cost of producing crops are the same, 'whe- ther the' crop is large or'';small,, so that every eftiort should be made to produce large yields by''tite adoption' of all better farming practices. Andther method of redecisg the cast of,productioa is the use of larger machinery ,and inore 'labory saving equipment. Considerable: improvement has been made ,in recent years in' the introduction of larger and better Machinery, making pos*ible the elim- ination .of consid•eralble manila! labor. Where the farm is large enough to. warrant the purchase of such mach- in,ery, this method constitutes an ef- fective means of reducing costs. The substitution of m -ore profitable for less profitable crops is another ad vantage Which may be derived "from the cost of production studies. • Poultry -A Farm Asset. Official records show that the poul- try papulation of Canada has doubled each ten years during the period of the past thirty years. Each succeed- ing,period of low prices, for farm pro- ducts finds the poultry flock coming to the farmer's rescue. At the present time it can e,as.ily ,be shown that the poultry flock properly bred, housed, and looked after is, front the s'tarid- point of capital investment and feed cost, one of the beat paying lines of .farm effort. E'a'ch, succeeding year ap- pears td 'rake it more clear that blue farm is fhe logical place for the de- velopment of th• e .poultry industry with respect to ',both egg and meat pnoduacbio.n. The farm flock is a use- ful medium for the marketing of oth- erwise unsaleable products in the form of eggs..poultry meat. ;Banks anal loan companies 'find the':famn ,wh'ieh' has a poultry flock a tntrch 'better risk than' the one which has .,none, Finishing Beef Steers, Much of the value in marketing beef cattle is lost when they lack proper finsla. Georgi W. Muir, B.S. A. Dominion Animal II'usbandman, offers the following suggestions for finishing beef steers. The purpose of reducing the suc- celent part of the ration towards the last of finishing period is, to harden. uta the flesh With the idea of prevent- ing shrink in transit. This can be further aided by cutting out thc suc- culent u -cuient feed" entirely just before ship- ment and ;allowing the animals to fill up on dry hay, grass' hay being prefer alike to clover in this case,Tlie grain ration may be maintained to last st provided it , p is not of too laxative a nature Cutting out the salt, just, pre- vious ,fo shipment, will also help, the iry liay being'suffiitiient. to cause the anima';s to ,drink plenty of water. .

Weed Control (Careful Mid thorough cultivation, a short rotation .Of crops using varieties of grain suitable to the soil:will solve ri► ;the weed prdbiein,'stated Arthur H. Mattie; 'assis'bant director; Crops and Markets Branch, in a recent address to weed inspectors. ,.Mr. Martin re- , commended more 'extensive use of early after harvest cultivation and. summer fallow as a mean's of clean- ing up weedy' fields: Practical farmers have found that saw thistle and simi- lar perennial "weeds ean`-be, cointrrdl'!ed by cutting hay earier than •usual, plowing the land immediately after- wards and follow up with thorough cultivation' during the remaining part of the season. Fall wheat, buckwheat rape and all hoed .crop's are effective in controlling .sow thistle. The latter gets its .greatest start in boats and other spring grains. As a protection to productivve farm land, road super- intendents and city, a town and village weed in's'pectors are urged to keep all weeds .cut on road'sides, vacant 'lots and other urban property. Valuable work in stimulating interest in weed control, is being done by Mr. A. R. G. Smith of New Hlamlburg, district weed inspector of Western Ontario, who has addressed' numerous meet- ings this spring. Agricultural Limestone Agricultural limestone, because of its rel•ativelyelow cost, is ofttinnrs overlooked in the well-planned soils program of the .up-to-date farmer.
