Norfolk Leads in Reforestation
Norfolk led the counties• in refores-
tation in 1929, when 677,000 trees
were planted. The objective of the
county for 1930 is 1,000,000 trees, to
be planted on non-agricultural land or
for windbreaks.
Spring Cultivating
Use care when cultivating in spring
not to spoil a good job of plowing.
If you use a toothed implement in
working the soil you are almost sure
to drag the stubble up and make more
work for yourself in picking" The
best method usually is 10 roll the
soil before working it, then use a
disc, and, if necessary, a packer to
pulverize it; then sow with a disc
drill:
Farm Drainage
Underdrainage of much of Ontar-
io's farm land is recognized as neces-
sary if profitable returns are to be
secured.. Underdrainage lowers the
water level of soils, removes surplus
water, lengthens the period for crop
growing, snakes cultivation easier and
increases the efficiency of the soil,
Tile drainage increases yields in both
wet and dry seasons. Well drained
soils result in lower costs of produc-
tion,
That Royal Trip
In the past three years 1407 young
men have participated in the trip to
the Royal Winter Fair sponsored by
the Ontario Department of Agricul-
ture. This trip is being held again
this year during which time the
guests will have an,opporttinity to sec'
for themselves many phases of On-
tario's agricultural and industrial life.
The contest is open to all farmers
and farmers' sons and full details can
be obtained from the local represen-
tative,
The Weed Act
Owing to public demand plans are
under way fora more strict `enforce -
anent of the Weed Act this year, Farr,
niers will be well advised to avoid in-
convenience at or near harvest time
by planning now to control weeds.
Seed should be carefully cleaned,
Weedpolluted field should not be
seeded without proper preparation ev-
en if this requires late sowing of a
special crop, Weed inspectors have
an opportunity to do their most help-
ful and pleasant work between now
and planting time,
Multiple Horse Hitches
More horses per team so that rnen
can individually accomplish more
work is being generally recognized as
one way of increasing farm efficiency
and reducing the cost of production
of farm crops, I'he Ontario Agricul-
tural College has issued a circular de-
scribing suitable hitches for four and
five -horse teams.
Spring Clipping
Clipping the horses in spring is a
practice claimed to be advantageous
by many farmers. It is stated •that
clipping saves the animals much dis-
comfort, thereby enabling thein to de-
velop a given amount of power on
less feed. Thorough grooming during
the working season also increases the
horse's efficiency.
OAC. Extension Ciraulars
The Extension Department at the
Ontario Agricultural College has just
recently issued a series of extension,
circulars which are attractive, brief
and well written. These should he
very useful to those who want infor-
mation regarding the various subjects
dealt with,
They are:—
Circular No. 1—"Debates."
Circular No. 2—"Multiple Horse
Hitches,"
Circular No. 3—"Fertilizer Ques-
tions and Answers."
Circular No. 4—"Farm Drainage."
Circular No. 5—"Tillage, Organic
Matter and Crop Rotation," -
Circular No. 6—"Soil Reaction.
Lime and Manure."
Crop Meetings
That farmers are anxious to im-
prove their condition is evidenced by
the large attendance at special crop
meetings this year: Special speakers
are provided by the Ontario Depart-
ment of Agriculture to communities
requesting their services. G. A. Mc -

Cague, agricultural representative in
Huron, reports an attendance of 825
at a series of 15 meetings in all parts
of the county. This was an average
of 55 at each point. The Lincoln
County average was over 75. In Wel-
land the average was over 100. Spec-
ial meetings of this kind are being
conducted in about 30 counties The
demand for speakers is so great that
there has been difficulty in supplying
suitable speakers. As these men are
practical farmers and most of them
running large farms, it has been dif-
ficult to persuade, then to leave their
private affairs to render this public
service.
Soft': Train Appreciated
A. R. G. Smith, superintendent of
the Soils and Crops Train, says "we
are getting 'all the people we can
handle properly. Questions are num-
erous as farmers are eager for infor-
mation on many problems but partic-
ularly those connected with soil man-
agement, chemical fertilizers and
weed control." This train, directed
by the Ontario Department of Agri-
culture co-operatin g with Canadian
National and Canadian Pacific Rai/ -
ways, is making 55 stops in Eastern
Ontario. The average attendance tea
date has averaged over '360 at each
stop, the highest being 1000 at Belle-
ville.
"Wonderful Varieties"
At' this time of year there are us-
ually some agents offering, new var-
ieties of grain and other crops at
fancy prices. Extravagant claims are
made for these which are alleged to
offset the price and leave a very fav-
orable balance. If farmers can pro-
cure snore suitable sorts than they`
are now using they should do so, by
all means, but why not permit the
government to do the experimenting.
Trained experimenters at these sta-
tions are testing hundreds of varieties
every year and no farmer is justified
in paying a high price for "something
new" until he learns how these kinds
have produced in comparison with
others on government farms.
Does Man Se'LtIe
Up Or Down
:t,
EIli®LIiEIII0III0I1IEili13111M11llall'f13'It
When man reaches that stage in his existence where the
urge for "home" dominates his thoughts he is suffering the first
stages of the "settling down" process. He begins planning a house
and all that goes with it, and realizes that before he can settle down
and become a Solid Citizen he must "settle up."
Now this "settling up" business should be indulged in at regu-
lar intervals by most of us. There's always some little account that
if not paid promptly when notice is sent, will be allowed to stand
indefinitely. One of the most unfortunate in this respect is the sub-
scription to the newspaper. The amount is small and comes due
but once a year; so it is easily forgotten. But when a thousand or
two subscribers "forget," the publisher is. in a bad way and immed-
iately has to put on pressure to collect the two dollar accounts.
There is one sure way of keeping "settled up" with your
newspaper—watch the label every week. After your name the date
on which your subscription experies is printed plainly. Pay it
promptly when it comes due. Make sure of it now.
