Zurich Herald, 1937-03-25, Page 7e'tllity .Of The Orchard Previa:1v The Essential Elements Of Plant Geowth There is now a Teat deal of ex- perimental evidence in support of the statement that humus and nitrogen are the ‘elements of fertility in which orchard soils are mostly commonly deficient. At the Experimental Sta tion for the Okanagan "Walley, Siun- merland, B.C., several methods of or- chard culture have been devised with a view to providing these essential elements at the minimum of expense. Where growing leguminous cover crops tbroughoet the year permits, no difficulty has been experienced in maintainingan adequate supply of nitrogen and humus in young or- chards. Alfalfa, hairy vetch and sweet clover have all been used with very Satisfactory results. Alfalfa is bust ad- apted for use on deep soils which are retentive of moisture. Hairy vetch is the safest cover crop to use on shal- low soils underlaid with gravel, while sweet clover is useful for breaking up heavy clay. A modified system of 'cover crop- ping involving cultivation of the land during a portion of the Summer may be used to advantage. Hairy vetch shown in late July or early August can be counted on to make good cov- er before Winter sets in. If there is not sufficient moisture in the soil to germinate seed until late August or early September, it is safer to so* a fast growing cereal such. as I+'ali. rye. In case a non -legume of this kind is used, it is often advisable' to sup- plement the cover, crop with an"appli- cation of some fertilizer high in nit rogen. Where moisture conditions are such that it is impossible to grow suf- ficient humus in the form of cover crops, this deficiency may well be sup- plied by the application of stable man- ure. Indeed there is good reason to believe that even where cover crops are grown, a light application of barn- yard manure is of great benefit from the bacterial action which it stimu- lates in the soil. Fire Convicted Under Milk Bylaw TILLSONBURG, -- For the first time in the town's history, a local man was found guilty of an infrac- tion of the town's milk by-law, when Herbert Inman was fined $1 and costs by Magistrate McCrimmon for selling milk without a license. W. C. Brown, IC.C., town solicitor, prosecuted. Inman -told the 'magis- trate he would continue selling milk but he was warned by the cadi that he had better observe the law. A written report from Dr. T. E. Early read in court stated the stables were unfit to house cows for the sale of milk. Customers of Inman went to his house, where they purchased milkat two cuts a quart less than the price .of 10c, confirmed by the milk control board, it was charged by prosecuting witnesses. Waste, Weeds Cause $503,000 Loss a Year WELLAND — Waste, poor manage- ment, ivoeds and insect plagues cause an annual loss of $500,000 to Canad- ian farmers, Russell T. Kelley, Hamil- ton president of the Associated Board of Trade and Chambers of Commerce of Ontario said ,here, addressing the annual banquet meeting of the Wel- Land Board of Trade. "The consumers can go a Iong way toward eliminating this loss by pay- ing a price for farm produce that will ensure a profit to the grower," he said. Mr. ICelley said co-operation be- tween urban and rural interests would enhance the well-being of the nation. Boards of Trade should aim at de- velopment of their trading areas, be maintained.

Fashionable Age When young people eels peicmiseion to marry,parents are sometimes known to say, "Net yet; you're too young." There are probably always at least a few standing differences of opinion on the point, It may help to decide the problem to know what other people are doing, what is the customary age for marrying, In the last few years more Can- adian girls have been married at 21, more boys at 24, than at any other age, but the average is higher be- cause more n amry older than youngex. The age of the average bride is 28, the bridegroom 26. This. is a little older than in pre -depres- sion days, but r.ot much; and the old differences of about three years in the age of man and wife still, per- sist. Dan Cupid stall cailms his victims of course, across most of the span of life.

A large crowd gathered and the. homespun lawyer 'was making - a speech from the rear platform When. an inebriate in the crowd blurted ,out "I voted for a damn sight better man than you." A man who had been used to many jibes, Linoolg :did not let his poise become upset,,and instead responded with "I want to meet that man; bring him to me." 'Although intoxicated the man had sense enough to be frightened while" the crowd became tense wi' t" antici- pation of the meeting. in a few min- utes the man was face to face with the President- elect. Lincoln, still _poised, looked at him a moment and then said, "My friend;. yon didn't vote for me .butI have been elected. I am your President. I ani go. • ing down to Washington to : tackle a very hard .job and I need your help. Will you help me?" • This overwhelmed the inebriate, and he replied.. "Sure I wili;'Mr. Lin- coln, sure I will." All this . overwhelmed the crowd, too, and every one cheered.

Anemia ' in Pigs Causes Death ,Reports- are often received of the large mortality among little pigs prior te' the age- of weaning. The little pigs whichhave usually been doing' well and putting on weight suddenly be- cgine unthrifty. They lose weight, the hair 'becomes rough and the pigs appear listless. Dia.rrIloon is a corn - lion symptom. If examined they are found to be very pale -and anemic which is most apparent in the white of the 'eyes and in their bloodless ears, and by the absence of a healthy pink color from the skin. 'Deaths are dice to anemia are frequent. This condition is due to deficiency of- iron in the blood and is particu- larly serious in large piggeries, where the pigs are on a carefully balanced ration. • The .treatment which has proved very satisfactory consists of a pow- dered "reduced iron" which can be purchased at any drug store.
