News And Information
For the Busy Farmer
(Furnished lay the Ontario De-
partment of Agriculture)
A total of $7,000,00 will be ex-
pended next year throughout the
counties and townships of Ontario in
the improvement of sideroads, This
is nearly three times tiie amount
spent during the past year and ,will
doubtless prove of great value to
many farmers.
Several of Ontario's foremostagri-
cultural experts served as judges at
the recent International Live Stock
Exposition in Chicago. They includ-
ed: John Miller of Ashburn (Short -
born cattle class); H. Noel Gibson
of Kokoma (Shropshire sheep); Dun-
can Johnson of Appin (Oxford
sheep); and W. T. G. Wiener;, Ot-
tawa ;(small grains). Ontario Agri-
cultural College, as usual, sent a live
stock judging team to compete
against the pick of the United States,
Growing Nut Trees
A new development in the work
of beautifying the countryside of On-
tario is seen in the organization of
an association in Elgin County with
a view of stimulating the planting of
nut trees. This association hopes to
secure the co-operation of the Elgin
County Council in planting rows of
nut trees on both sides of No. 3
Highway front border to border of
the county. In addition, the annual
yield of these trees and their timber
value merit consideration.
Hydro For the Farm
Electrification of Ontario farms
will be stimulated during 1930 by the
program of expansion recently an-
ounced which will result in the build-
ing of 2000 miles of hydro lines in
the rural districts, as compared with
1,100 during the past year. It is also
expected that service charges will be
reduced and loans made available for
installation of electrical equipment on
the farm. The mileage added during
1929 will serve 6700 new customers
and bring the total to 5,000 miles al-
ready in operation.
Winter Conditions
Live stock and feed form the chief,
topic of the current weekly reports
t'. from agricultural , representatives.
This statement from one of the re-
�ports appears to be typical of con-
!
throughout the province:

quarters in poorer condition than us-

feeders stabled this winter than is.

severe weather and snowstorms has
broiiglit fall work on the land to a
halt. However, under favorable con-
ditions nlost farmers had practically
finished their fall plowing.
Corn Borer Situation
The corn borer infestation in On-
tario in 1929 has been reduced in the.
infested counties by an average of
50 per cent. over the figures of 1928,
according to a recent official state-
ment by 'Prof. L. Caesar of O.A.C.
Reductions as high as 75 per cent.
are shown in some counties, while for
the first time in three years no re-
ports of total destruction, or even
serious injury, have been received,
and no new districts report the pest:
Nevertheless, Prof. Caesar pointed
out that the actual number of insects
would hardly .vary from last year's
estimates because of the spread over
a much greater acreage.
Curbing. Chicken Thefts
Chicken thieving is on the wane
in Ontario, according to a recent,
statement by Hon. John S. Martin,
Minister of Agriculture, and the leg-
islation passed at the last session of
the legislature is given a big share
of the credit forthe satisfactory sit-
uation now prevailing. Thefts are
still occurring but they are scattered
and bear little resemblance to the
epidemics which prevailed' for a time,
The new legislation empowers police
officers to search poultry transports
and compels truckers and others to
keep close check on the birds they
are transporting. Not only have $100
fines been levied, but a total of 92
of the offenders were sent to jail in
the year ending October 31st last.
Testing the Wheat Crop
During recent weeks some splen-
did work has been done in testing
the baking qualities ,of Canada's 1929
wheat crop at Trent Institute, the
School of Commercial Baking at O.
A.C. :Both the hard spring wheat of
of the western provinces and the
softer winter wheats of Ontario have
been under test. The report of the
former is that the quality is in every
way superior to the two previous
crops, while the Ontario product,
which' is used chiefly in cake -making,
is said to be superior in both milling
and baling qualities to that produced
in 1928. There is no evidence of
sprouted wheat, which was the cause
of some difficulty in handling last
year's crop. On the other hand, the
protein is lower, but on the whole it
appears to be of excellent quality.

Beekeeping Progress
In connection with the recent con-
vention of the Ontario Beekeepers'
Association, Prof. E. Eric Millen of
O.A.C., secretary, points, out that re-
markable changes have taken ,place in
the beekeeping industry during the
past fifty years. From an uncertain
side line fifty years ago to a commer-
cial undertaking today, many mem-
bers now measure their crop by the
ton in place of pounds, For, instance,
J. L. Byer, of Markham, operates ap-
proximately 1200 colonies. There
was an exceptionally good crop of
honey in Ontario last year and two
residents of the province took first
and second prizes for honey at the
dairy show in London, England,
while for the severith consecutive
year Ontario beekeepers carried off
the highest honors,
Ontario Patty at Chicago
Sixteen girls and fourteen boys
from Ontario farms comprised the
party which journeyed to Chicago
during the first week of December
to ' attend the Boys' and Girls' Club
Congress in connection with the In-
ternational Live Stock Exposition..
They were the winners of the judging
contests in their respective counties
by virtue of which their expenses
were defrayed by local organizations.
h, C, Paterson, ;agricultural represen-
tative for Norfolk, was in charge of
the trip, and Mrs. Cook was chaper-,
one: In Chicago they joined a party
'of 1500 young .American boys and
girls ;in a six-day program which in -
eluded not onl ythe Live Stock Ex-
position but tours of the city and one
or two of the larger packing plants.
The visit proved most informative
and entertaining.
Loss by Potato 'Blight
Investigations show that the farm-
er may lose as much as fifty per
cent of his stored potato crop due
chiefly to the action of tuber rots,
particularly that caused by late blight
(the so-called dry rot). While this
rot does 'not commonly spread .frorn
tither to tuber in the bin, under poor
conditions this injury pavesthe way
for organisms producing other rots
that do spread and causes heavy loss-
es. Mach of the loss eat be avoided
by removing all late blight -infected
tubers, There are also other 'tuber -
rotting fungi capable of causing enor-
mous losses.` The following combin-
ation of precautions is suggested: (1)
Prevent digger and handling injuries,
(2) Control late blight foliage infei-

The Only Home She Kncws
Little blue - eyed, auburn - haired
Gracie, was born in the Toronto 'Eios-
pital for Consumptives, where her
mother, not yet in her twenties, is a

ever known, or is likely, to knew for
some time to come, is the,. Queen id.ary

has not her mother's ailment, but

not develop the disease.
Sometimes she goes to see her
mother, but can only'talk with her
at some distance, tor it would be dan-
