Farm Income Of f But Substantially Above Other Years. Net incarne ai Canadian farnn- ers from fanming operatians last year declined irom the record 1ev- el reached in 1948, but was stili substantially abave all other years. Preliminary estimates by the Bureau ai Statistics place farmn net Income for the year at $1,537,387,- 000, about 4% below the nevised ali-tinie high ai $1,600,336,000 for 1948. The decline irani 1948 was the nesuit ai smaller cash receipts irom farm products, reduced value ai incarne in kind, declining in- ventories ai grain and a continued increase in farm operating expen- ses and depreciation charges. Year-livestock inventories ris- piayed an increase for the iirst tume since 1944, but this gain was mare than offset by a substantial decline in year-end, farm-held stocks ai grain. Net fanm income was higher in the Maritimes, Quebec and Sas- katchewan, the gains rangi ng from less than 1 % in Quebec ta nearly 25%' in Nova Scotia. The decline in other provinces vanied iromn less than 2 % in Ontario ta aven 20 1/ in British Columbia. Pneliminary estimate of net in- carne by provinces follows, with* totals for 1948 In brackets: Prince Edward Island $11,400,000 ($11,- 000,000); Nova Scatia $11,700,000 ($9,400,000); New Brunswick $25,- 000,000 ($23,700,000»); Quebec $244,700,000 ($243,600,000); On- tario $407,400,000 ($412,800,000); Manitoba $140,000,000 ($174,300,- 000); Saskatchewan $112,110,000 $374,900,000); Alberta $279,300,- 000 ($305,700,000); British Colum- ba $35,300,000 ($44.900.000). Growing Chicks Need Good Range Grawing chlcks which have ac- cess ta good range develop Into profitable producens ai eggs and meat with lowen feed costs. But the range must be free fnom con- tamination and such as ta give abundant, yaung, succulent for- age throughout the entire grow- ing season. Naturally the cnop grawn fan such a range must be adapted ta the sali and climatel ai the particulan anea. At the Dominion Expenimental Fanm, Brandon, aifali a sown at about twelve pounds an acre bas pnoved ta be the best suited ta supply forage for poultry. It be- gins growth early in the spning and if moved irani time ta time, gives succulent highly nutnîtiaus forage thnoughaut most ai -the summer. Even aiter long dnoughts it quickly recovens when nain cames. A thnee year range rotation Ih usèd at the Fanm, which allows a twa-yean idle period between each crop af chickens. This keeps the range anea free fnam con- tamination by disease anganisms and parasites. During the nest period the range is cultivated and fallowed for one year. In mid-summer ai the fallow year aifalfa, with on without a nurse drap, Is sown. Thisa baves one year for the alialfa ta become establighed before chicks are pas- tured an it, and If the gnawth is heavy during the finst summer a hay crop cati be remaved. An acre ai alfalfa range will accammodate 400-550 birda and ta ensure ahl being used, colony houses on range shelters shaulâ be moved about. Feeders and dninking traughs should be mov- ed frequently ta reduce the risk ai contamination ai the ground around them. If possible a poultry ranjge shauld be on a well drained site which is relntively free inani per- manent shade. Temponany shade cati be provided by cultivated rlrits such as sunflowens or corn. 1The farce ai one'î being if it has any farce, must came from with- i ii.-R. W.

While pnini- anily designed for areas having short gnawinjz seasons, the vani- eties recomrnended may prove valuable ta many intenested in beautiiying the home grounds. Annual flowers are usually di- vided into three classes, namely edging, bedding and background types. Sweet alyssuni, lobelia and dwarf petunias make satisiactory edging plants, as daes the new dwari, basebnanching, Kirkwell aster. The pot manigold has long been a favourite fan bedding purpases, valuabie for its long season ai bloomi and fon cutting.

Bridge Graf ting 0f Apple Trees Mice and rabbits succeed In killing many apple trees annuaily because no effort is made ta re- place the damaged bark by bridge- grafting. This is a simple aper- atian and the cost is negligibie if a bearing tree is aaved for further production, says T. B. Harrison, Experimental Station, Harrow, Ont. Injured trees should be marked with white iead when pruning is being done and sufficient vigorous sucker Wood for grafting shouid also be saved at this time. These bud sticks shouid be wrapped in rnoist sacking and stored in a cool basement or ice house until need- ed in May. The right stage for bridge- grafting is when the bark separ- ates readily from the wood and generaiiy this occurs when the apple trees are in full bioom. It is important to first check care- fully the injured area on the tree ta insure that the scian or bud stick used overiaps at least three inches into the live tissue above and beiow the wound. The areas of contact af tree and graft are carefuiiy eut with a knife and the bark is gentiy iifted with a screwdriver when ready to insert the end of the scion, pre- viously cut to a flat one-sided wedge. Usualiy the grait is in- serted first inta the lower siot and naiied firmly ta the tree. Then a similar process is ioliawed with the upper end of the grait and bath ends ai the "bridge" are then weli covered with a grafting com- pound. In the case of a wide wound the graits shauld be piaced three in- ches apart about the trunk. On yaung trees which are apt ta sway in the wind, it is advisabe that the grafts be bowed ta allaw for this mavement. Ail the equipment required for bridge-graiting is a sharp knife and a sharpening stone ta keep it that way, a smail hammer, same fiat headed naîls af assorted sizes and a can of tree grafting com- pound. For convenience, ail this can be placed in an eleven quart basket far carrying about the or- chard. The Apostle Paul was highly educated.
