Cabbage Maggot Control
For the control of maggots on Cab-
bage and Canlifiewer, the following
treatment is recommended:
Diseollve 1 ounce 10errosive Sublim-
ate in 8 to 19 ge_Bons of water, and
pour ,stalution ever plants as .soon as
they are set :pet. 'Generally another
applie.tbion will be necessary, fin 10
daya, butsif the weather is warm, in
8 /clays. Wooden or earthenware cone
tail:lees 'should be used for this solu-
tion.
Crop and Live Stock Survey
In 'June each year, the Dominion
Bureau tor Statistics, in\ co-operation
With the Provineial ,Depl*traents of
Agrioulture, 'distributes , cardboard
.schedeles to fast/sere for the purpose
'of (collecting ,statistiest of acreages
•aind under env and the numbers of
iisneisock and !Poultry on fermi. An
innovation of 1931 extended this sur-
vey to clover the 'breeding and mar-
keting !intentions With regard to live
stock, ' •
The acreages of field crops, in par-
ticulate are the meal foundation af aur
scheme -of-- agricultriral epr
statistics. 'Only slightly less impor-
tant in our national' planning is the
neteseity of halving comet knowledge
ef -the numbers of live stock on
faems. The accuracy compilations
in bath these classes is largely de-
pendent upon the obtaining of com-
pleted cards from a fair Saereple of
the total number of Canadian farans.
Sugar Beet Crop
The 1936 acreage of sugar betets, in
Southwestern ,Ontario is approxi-
mately the eamie, as in 1935, wheel
36,000 ',acres were 'sewn. There was
lees seeding done in April than in.
the average :season owing. to a rela-
tively late !spring, 'and the bulk of
the crop was seeded -during the first
three wefeks Of May. It isestiinated
that 95) per cent, of the fseeding was
completed.by the ,ferst- of June. The
edit was in geed •condition during the
firet half Of 'May, but •became quite
dry towards'the end of the month; In
the 'sugar, beet terribory, the rainfall
during .'May aneounted to only toile -
fifth tef .the long-time average precipi-
tation. Moisture is needled for, germ.
Mation of the late seeeing.
The Potato Situation
The early crop in Southern <One
tarib was planted! ten 'days 'later than
usual and growing con,dttions during
April were dot favo.rable. In . the
fleet .part of. May, temrperatures were
higher than normal and dewdopment
progressed Tepidly. This, :pealed Was
fotlowed by damaging .froetsein some
districts Which froze ti.)!e tape and de-
layed maturity of the crop by ten
clays or more. After this set -back
the we,ather, was dold and dry 'during
the last two weeks of May, resulting
in stow reeovery. New . potatoes will
not move to market in 'shy volume
before July 15.
The Southern part of the United
States bee ‘experteneed extremely un-
favorable growing conditions for their
,early eeop. Yields are very nuzch re-
duced aind eupplies from that source
are limited ,and available only at
high !prices. Stooks of old potatoes
are !practically depleted in Easteen
Canada WM in the United States.
Prices of Old potatoes in Ontario have
risen from $1.45 per bag to farmers
on May 26 to $2.50 -On June 9. Prices
are expected to continue at a fairly
high level until the n'e'w prop is on
the market.
Demonstration Woodlots
„ B. I. C.. IMarritt
The FOreebs Branch have selected
170 farmers' woodlots in Ontario as.
demonstrations. Most 'of them are
egaimples' of woodlote that •have been
protected from stock, and have had
careful ,a(roll efficient management for
eearee. !Some are in each condition
that &innings and improvement cut-
tings will improve greatly growing
conditions." Others have .been pas-
tured and they have been fenced
T./10m stock 'in order that they will re -
stack tiattieelly with small trees. V-al-
oehle 'ispedies are being planted. in
„
.oeliens where natural restocking is
delayed; as windbreaks and to ire
crease the future value 'of the 'vein:d-
iet by intrloclueing valuable species
such as pine, epruce, ash and walnut.
The pierpo,se (of dem,anstration
Wolodltots., is to draw attention to ef-
fioiency managed woodlots. There is
a great diversity tof woodlet manage-
ment. Many of the practices have
'been, handed dawn, from pioneer day's.
Thely were alright when. the object
was to ,clear the land for cropping
and timber and fuelwood had -Wry
little .value, Today the objeet, Igenerally, is to, leave the land in Weed -
land, as meet rrealize fkiat a percent-
age tot An agriculttinel area should
be left in woods.
The woodlot has an important place
in the econo,neic oet-up of the farm,
as it supplies the teem house with
fuel, lumber for building, maple sy-
rup for the table, protects adjacent
hrieultural crept in winter ,and sum-

Salt, in Hay Curing
Oneetienth of the Value of the 1,In
nu,a1 hay crop in Canada is lest,' due
to fire and spoilage }caused, ,by heat-
.teg, ateteding eto an ,estimate made
recently by W. J. .Sioott, Fire Mar-
shall for Ontario.
Mr. Scott points Out ethat this loan•
is not ,mitirelly the'result ,of actual
'fires. Mueh of it. is accounted for
by heating that dees not- reach the
ignition point but does destroy the
foOd value, bwirg- to fermentation
and bacterial action 'in the Presence -
of moisture. The early Stages of
heating in hay are caused largely -1y
moulds and bacteria that ,occur na-
turally i -n hay." • If this AS not checked
the temperatere may rise te a *int
where -cheinieal, reactions are started
ar7d more heat is produced, with elit
ignition.e .
mete
Asa preventive eneasure, Mr. .
Scott advocates the use of saltewhicis
has long .been recognized as a pre-
servative and a retardant of fermen-
tation. If Veet1 intelligently it will ,
slow dleivii thie heading :actionin bay
and ,,prevent dangerous temperatures,.
The amount 'of salt, recamenended
up to 20 to 89 pounds per ton of
hay. Salt, he points out, 'will serve
notonly as a preventive of heating
and spoilage but also will increase
the road value to ,livesteek. e •

Sharp Practices' in Feed , Sallee
Purchasersshould beware et •,,,feed.;,
eold by the bag with no stipnlatdon
as to weight. Some unscrupedens
feed! dealers 'have sought to capitalize
'on the fact that the ,one 'huedeed-
pound bag =it °Of feed is • so •cone-
manly- emieloyed that it is taken for
granted. Even: 'with fixed weights,
the ,volume of ,bulk feeds 'varies ac-
cording. to the nature of the mater-
ial or the tightness of packing, and
so a lack of uniformity in the Size
of peeked bags does n,olt ordinarily
aeons* 'suselitelore. It is alleged that
'eome dealers guard 'against suspicion
by using bags of the usual height,
but lesa than the usual widthi giving
the appearance of a full weight pack-
age while Actually it is a few pounds
under weight.
IThe farmer is victimized not only
im the quantity of feed which he re-
cetive,s, but liticeeeise, in the price per
hun,dred, pounds or per ton 'which he
• pays. Ilile is else misledin his ration
'balancing Plans, for he corrononbr
purchases concentrates to supplement
and .balanee farm, grown feeds. Ev-
en should the detect the shortages he
could prlobably get ne redress for the
vendor guilty of such practices sells
lby• the bate rather than by weight
amd thus. protects himself against
charges Of misrepresentation. •
• •Fa,nneers would be Well advised,
therefore, to purchase •feed on a,
weight -basis rather than a bag-lbasii,.
and also' to check sellers' weights .
whenever. o.ppoettunity 'pe,entits., By.
so doing; they would not only pro-
tect themselves against the practices
described, but wlould serve the in-
tereste of honorable manufacturere
and dealers whose tag-lcit prices ap-
pear but of line when they must offer
a 'one hundred pound bag of. feed in
competition ,with, say, a ninety-three '
pound bag.
