The 1945 Canadian apple crop is-, 'estimated at 7,626,000 bushels or 43 per cent. of the 1944 crop, which was 17,829,000 bushels. This year's crop in Quebec is placed at 80,000 bushels, only 9, per cent. of the 1944 yield. Ontario with 642,000 bushels is 25 per cent. of last year's output. Nova Scotia with 975,000 •bushels is only 19 per cent. of last year's produc- tion.

"• Nova Scotia's 1945 crop of pears placed at 38,000 bushels is 27 Per. cent. more than in 1944. The Ontario peach crop at 829,000 bushels is down 29 per cent in comparison with last year. Apricots in British Columbia will return this year 151,000 bushels, three per cent above last year. A 12 per cent increase is recorded in the Canadian grape .crop of the total yield of 68,460,000 pounds. On- tario will account for 64,830,000 Nigh - els, and British Columbia 3,630,000 pounds. The increase of 'grapes in Ontario this year is 13 per cent over 1944. In British Columbia the crop. is up 3 per cent this year over 1944. * * * Poultry Fattening During the past 13 years, nearly two thousand market cockerels have been fattenedt on different rations at the Dominion Experimental Farm, Brandon, Man. A convenient and satisfactory ration for use on most farms may be made up of equal parts of ground wheat, oats and barley. The standard practice for feeding birds to be fattened is to mix the meals with liquid, either water or milk, twelve hours before feeding and MAGIC Honey Pound Cake 134 c. seedless raisins 2X tsp.

Each lug is separate. No pockets where earth can pack, ,causing loss of traction: - SEE US FOR COMPLETE TWO—Evenly spaced lugs -•-guard ggainst jerks—give smooth, positive traction forward or backward. THREE—Buttressed base—no lug tear. Each lug is self -reinforced. No need to join them together to hold them on. They're strong enough to stand alone. These are three good reasons why you should buy Goodyear Sure -Grip.

They were everywhere, and 'much time and expense were required to rid the premises of these food Pests: Materials of 'inorganic origin, states the Dominion Division of Entomology are much to be preferred as insulat- ing materials because they cannot serve as food for insects,. * * * Used Truck Parts to Make Trailer Suggestions in regard to selecting and assembling used truck parts and tires for the construction of a two - ton farm trailer tractor, together with a 'plan and specifications of the machine, are given in agricultural en- gineering circular No. 13 by .J. M. Armstrong and E. :C., Bain, of the Field Husbandry Division, Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa. 'A two - ton tractor , trailer built according •to the plan and specifications given has been in service for several years. This trailer has been loaded frequent- ly in excess of three tons without any evidence of structural weakness in the framing or axle, and there has been no noticeable wear on the tires at tractor speeds. . Detailed information is contained in the suggestions which deal fully with the selecting and...fitting. the front .axle from 1% or 2 -ton used truck for a 2 -ton capacity trailer; the- ' fraixje::-.used With ; -an inverted front axle.; the hitch frame made of 4" pipe welded together in the form of a Y; the hitch lock, brakes, and plat- form, together with all the necessary measurements of . the axle assembly, main frame, hitch frame (pipe), al- ternate hitch frame (channel), hitch lock and platform, A copy of the'cir- cular may be obtained by writing to Dominion Department. of Agriculture, Ottawa. * * * (Oe tlnlxe d; NQrfle ,'e rage 1) AgrieUItural,44irOed tars with foal by bsr side, WilUau MFMiUan, 'tat - #a, E: J.

The results have been somewhat varying. "If DDT is to be effective, when laid down to produce a residual effect (that is, to remain active on the places sprayed), two conditions are necessary," says H. E. Gray, Division of Entomology, Dominion Department of Agriculture. "These conditions are: first; a 'com- paratively large proportion of the insects must come in contact • with the wails and ceiling of the building on which the applications are made; second, these` surfaces must be reas- onably free from dust so that the in- sects can coma in close contact with the pD`I;"deposit. In many storage and warehouse buildings,' these con- ditions are not realized," In the case of terminal elevators, for instance, the role of DDT as a residual spray does not ,appear to be an important one, Mr. Gray points out. When' grain bins are filled, a deposit of dust is laid down on the upper walls and ceiling which pre- vents the insects coining in close contact with the material. In flour mills and •other locations where the major portion of the infestation is within the machines or storage bins, effective control is not likely to be secured through an application to the walls and ceiling of the building. If DDT were applied to the interior of the machinery or to the walls of the storage bins it would probably be removed in a relatively short, time by the friction of the moving parts of the machinery and the material .passing over the treated surfaces. At the same time there might be a hazard to human beings resulting from the incorporation of the DDT into the food product. As yet, not enough is known about the poisonous effects of DDT to higher animals to assume that no hazard would be involved, states Mr. Gray. Conse- quently, it is redommended that DDT should not be used in the interior of machines ,or in storage bins handling food products. 2nd. Dorset Horned --Bain. k y¢ar er i9 er, P. E.
