Most of this loss is caused by internal parasites and much of this is preventable. A good deal of it can be avoided by keeping the young chicks away from the adult birds and Bring New Rooms to Your Hole with Gyproc A WORK -ROOM for you Ill —a play -room for. the 'youngsters in the basement.

BUCHANAN HARDWARE,, Winghnrl , Ontario Huestnn, Gorrk, Ontario on absolutely clean soil, Campaign Against Weeds The provincial ;,authorities are leav- ing no stone unturned' intheir cam- paign against weeds. Many of the highways have the usual prolific crops along the sides of the road, Some of the farms: throughout the country have crops of weeds which will soon be ripening,.ancl .spreading their seeds to the'four winds. Delinquents in this respect will . be given an opportuity. to explain the reason for their con- tempt of the law as soon as the weed inspector makes his rounds. Still Time to Plant There is still plenty of time To get in corn or roots and bothcrops are essential for feeding all kinds of live stock, taking the place of green grass 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 the seed will have the early mois- ture., Turnips are not planted before the second' week in June .and may go irr until about July 10. If planted too early they are liable to become tough and make less palatable feed than those which make most of their growth in early fall. Low Producer..;a Liability The dairyman, and for that hatter the owner of any class of live stock, has enough to contend with, without putting up with a bunch of low pro- ducers. The burden of the low pro- ducer is felt most in time of feed scarcity and low price of dairy pro- dncts. 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,,ques- tion of keeping records of milk, cost of feed, and getting rid of poor cows has been discussed times without number, and yet many low producers continue to occupy a stall and con- sume as much feed as its stableniate which the records prove has returned a substantial profit over the cost of feed and labor. Buckwheat Very Useful • In speaking about weed control it is a good plan to; put in rape or buck- wheat, two crops that can go in right up to the middle of July. 'The first named makes 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. Buckwheat is one of the most.. popular crops to sow in the orchard about the first of July, controlling the weeds, - and surplus moistuie and furnishing splendid feed and a run for poultry and hogs. Warm Weather Helpful Continued warin 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 according to reports coming in frons all parts of the province. There were many crops plowed under this spring, but many farmers reported that new Seedingwhich :they had intended to plow richer, made wonderful recovery during early ,May. Many sections re- ported that the land has never work- ed better than during the present month of seeding. Commercial Fertilizer More and more fertilizer is being used in Ontario because our'land has 'been depleted of plant foods and also because farmers are gradually learn- ing =tie about the use of fertilizers, Considerable study irnust be 'given the subject, of fertilizers before the best results can bc.obtained. Gooch drain- age,' good tillage, good seed and good cultural methods are all: necessary be- fore 'fertilizers can be expected to make profitable returns. Properly us- ed, ,commercial fertilizers will usually give splendid results, lower the cost of production and increase farm re= turns, One Bushel Per Acre Speaking in Saskatchewan recently, Hon. John Bracken, Premier of Mani- toba, declared that en increase of one bushel per.acre, which could be easily obtained 11 only the most casual at- tention were :paid to the seed, would add to the ,valtae of Saskatchewan's grain crop,. roughly speaking, about thirty million dollars: This does not apply to Saskatchewan alone, where perhaps more attention must be paid to the sowing of titan seed, but also to Ontario, Think what thirty : Mil- lions of dollar's would mean to On- tario's farlii products this yearl Fruit Needs Moisture An tdequlate supply of moisture in the orchard is of great importance.; in the growing of a good crop of fruit. WROXETER If the soil is low in moisture in the Mr. and Mrs. Robt. Edgar of Gor- early part of the season," the fruit is not likely to set well. If there is a shortage of moisture during the sum- mer and autumn the fruit will not size up well and if the soil is dry when winter sets in, the danger from root -killing is ulueh greater, hence the importance of conserving moisture when there is any likelihood of there being a -shortage. What :is known :as the sodmulch system of orchard man- agement, is an excellent conserver of moisture. Grass is spread over the soil under the trees, preventing the growth of weeds and grass and saving the moisture, Help the Alfalfa Ontario's' alfalfa fields have exper- ienced some hard knocks during the past twelve months. last summer's drouth permitted only sparse growth, and alternate freezing and thawing early this spring caused some serious heaving of . the plants especially on the heavier soils. But hard luck has never permanently discouraged an in- telligent Ontario farmer. Actual tests conducted under the direction of the O.A.C. College show how weakened fields can be helped. Six alfalfa grow- ers' in Western Ontario top -dressed their alfalfa fields last summer with fertilizers high in potash and phos- phate and secured gains of 1360 lbs. to 8040 ibsl of green crop per acre. Of course soil must he well drained if it is to grow good alfalfa year after year and generally it should be limed (one ton to the 'acre) once in four years so as to keep conditions favor- able for alfalfa growth, Will Lay Cornerstone • The cornerstone for the new Ad- ministration Building and Students' Residence at the Ontario Agricultur- al College, Guelph, Ontario, will be laid on the afternoon of May 23rd by the Prime Minister of the prov- ince, the Hon.
