W. Bauer, Secretary, Ontario Growers' Markets Council. He went on to say that canners have already reported their stocks are entirely de- pleted of last year's pack, while the wholesale and retail grocers through- out the province, prefer Ontario can- ned peaches to any other pack offer- ed for sale, and are awaiting this year's stocks.

Bill of Lading Protects Farmers "Excellent progress has been made in applying Bill of Lading regulat- ions to truck movement of live stock," states Garnet Duncan of the Ontario Marketing Board staff, "Farmers appreciate the Protection offered by this system against irreg- ularities," continued Mr. Duncan, "and most reliable truckers support the system as it saves time and pro- tects them from unfair competition. Weekly records show the use of bills of lading is increasing steadily." WAWANOSH INSUR- ANCE COMPANY IS HARD HIT The West Wawanosh Mutual Fire Insurance Company, with headquart- ers at Dungannon, has been exper- iencing exceptionally heavy losses through barn fires. Within the past two weeks, no less than five barn fires have been re- ported, all insured in the company. The latest in the list occurred on the 10th, and 11th concessions of E. Wawanosh on Thursday afternoon, when two large barns were razed, those of Robert Coultes and Thos. Taylor. Other barns insured in the com- pany destroyed by fire in the past fortnight were the barn of William Kempton' of Huron Township, west of Lucknow; that of John Craig, in Kinloss Township, east of Lucknow, near Whitechurch, and that of David Strand, also west of Lucknow. When the losses of these barns are settled the company will have paid out over $50,000 this year, which is about double the amount paid out ordinarily in the year.

On an average, over a period of nine years, ploughing four inches deep for a rotation of corn, oats, clo- ver and timothy has given higher yields than has ploughing sepen in- ches deep, except in the case of oats, in which the yields have been prac- tically the same. The shallow plough- ing is of particular advantage to the corn crop. In the preparation of sod land for grain, it has been found that plough- ing in July, as soon as the hay is off and top -working during the sum- mer has not only given higher yields of oats, but has also left the land free from couch grass. The experi- ment has shown that on sandy loam soil, it does not pay to either rib the land or replough in the fall. On heavy clay soil, ribbing or replough- ing late in the fall gives the frost a chance to mellow the soil and leave it in a better state of tilth. In the preparation of sod land for corn, manuring on the sod and spring ploughing has given higher yields that manuring and fall ploughing. It would, therefore, appear that for corn on sandy loam, the land should be tnanured and spring plou- ghed four inches deep,, while for grain, it should be ploughed as soon as the hay is off and topworked. greatly reduced this year, as the se- cond crop did not set seed as antici- pated owing to continued rains dur- ing blossoming period, Havesting of sugar beets in Kent is starting. With over 20,000 acres of this crop to be harvested there, many unemployed 's will find work, In Middlesex silo filling is now general, with the crop a bulky one, heavily loaded with well matured cobs,' Corn borer and the storms have broken the crop down badly in some fields. . A keen de- mand for good breeding stock is not- ed in Oxford, where incidentally the most of the cattle are in excellent' condition. .'A Cheese Patrons'•Assocl lation has been organized in Peter- borough County. Yields.. in barley and oats in Prescott and Russell were exceptionally high. Late blight has hurt potatoes in Temiskaming dis- trict. Wet weather delayed the har- vesting of grain in Port Arthur area. Ontario Seed Prospects Accordingto A, H. Martin, .Assist- ant Director, Crops 'Branch, Ontario Department of ;Agriculture, clue to cool showery weather in the early part of July, the alfalfa seed crop in Western Ontario is almost a failure. Eastern Ontario, although never con- sidered an alfalfa seed centre, will. probably harvest the largest alfalfa seed crop ever taken from this area• The total production in this area, however, will be comparatively .small: Redclover seed production on the other hand is much less than half a crop in Eastern Ontario while indi- cations in Western Ontario would point to a fair yield of clover seed. Alsike production is also below normal. The earlier threshed fields yielded from 2-3 bushels per acre but later reports show some fields going as high as six bushels per acre. It is likely there will be sufficient al- sike to meet local demand. A considerable increase is expect- ed in timothy seed. This is to be expected from the high price of tim- othy seed last year in comparison with legume seeds and also to the fact that it is necessary to import about 50% of the seed used in On- tario. Prices for all seeds are likely to be higher this year. The price no doubt will be governed' to some ex- tent by .the amount of seeds held ov- er from the large 1931 crop.

Somerset, Chairman, On- tario Marketing Board, reports that one of the outcomes of discussions among representatives of the fruit industry, at the Imperial `Economic Conference, is a proposed Empire Fruit Growers' Federation, the first conference to be held in London, England, in September, 1933. The proposed Federation will have to do with the promotion of all mat- ters towards the improvement of fruit growing within the Empire. The provisional agenda for. the first or- ganization meeting includes such subjects as: the production and dis- tribution of Empire fruits, the organ- ized development of fruit growing within the Empire,, co-operative in- ter -Dominion and Empire advertis- ing, cold storage, transportation and standardization of packages. Weekly Crop Report • Bruce County reports that after - harvest cultivation is being practised fairly generally. Grey has had dis- couragingly wet weather, with the re- sult that many fields were left in stook and much second -cut alfalfa still in coils in fields. A farmer in Peel has 1 acres of Okra, which is a plant similar to Red' peppers and whose pods are used for thickening soup. The crop looks promising. The alfalfa crop from Peel will be Field Crop Figures The fifth departmental report of the season on Field Crops gives some interesting facts and figures. More than the ordinary amount of stook threshing was done this year, but the weather was not too favour- able for this attempt at labour-sav- ing. Farmers are planning to sow their fall wheat somewhat later than usual in order to reduce the likeli- hood of injury from Hessian Fly Buckwheat and hoed crops have made good growth during the month and excellent yields secured from se- cond cutting of alfalfa. The total acreage of field crops sown in Ontario in 1932 is practi- cally the same as last year. The most important changes in individual ac- reages occurred in barley, buckwheat, fodder corn and alfalfa which show- ed increases,. and hay, clover, beans and potatoes which show large re- duction in acreage. The total pro- duction of both beans and potatoes will show considerable decrease from last year, for in addition to reduc- tion in acreage, the per acre, yields are lower owing to less favourable growing conditions. The estimated average yields of spring wheat, oats and barley for Ontario this year show little varia- tion from the figures for 1932. Oats. and barley gave rather disappointing yields in Southwestern Ontario and slightly higher yields than last. year in other districts. Per acre yields of flax and beansshow some decrease over last year while the yield of peas is considerably higher. 111e1I I1HI I11111111Llliel I lel l IWI IIe1111il111®1l Iml l I11Iliq New Issue of i iii w Dominion of 1 ill Canada Bonds 1- E Will soon be on the .ii 0 market.
