Expeci Wheat Crop Hit Ail Time Record A wheat crop record that has stood for 23 years may be exceed- ed this faîl if frost and other nat- ural enemies o! the farmer don't interfere. The Bureau o! Statistics said that fromn the look o! things at present the 1951 wheat crop will hit 581,678,000 bushels.

New FaIl Wheat Surpasses Cornel Dawbul is the name of a new fàll wheat developed by the On- tario Agricultural Coilege. It is said to be surpassing Corneli 595 in vield. W. H. Milîs & Sons of Sparata report that a large acreage of Dawbul threshed last week aver- aged 50 bushels an acre, as com- pared with 43 bushels o! Cornel] on the same farm. They plan to seed 75 acres of Dawbul tis sea- son. Dawbul is a cross of Dawson's Golden Chat! and Bulgarian wheat. For Lorne MeNeil & Sons o! Springfield it outscored other winter varieties in a 50-bushel wheat club competition. The Best Way to, Store Turnip Roots Bad storage conditions can! cause sexeous josses in stored tur- nip- roots. according to Dr. J. R. Weir, Professor o! Field Husban- dry, at the Ontario Agricultura College. If turnips are to sur- vive several months of storage, a few important points should be fpllowed: (1) Thoroughiy cdean the stor. age. spraying ail surfaces (except metal) with a mixture consisting of 2 lbs. of copper sulphate,î10 gallons of water (mixed togeth- er), and 4 lbs. of dehydrated lime; (2) In order that air may freely circulate around the roots, keep the roots off the floor by placing them in bins; (3) Store only sound roots of sizes suitable for the trade; (4) Using controlled ven- tilation or refrigeration, keep the storage temperature at about 32 degrees F.: (5) Keep the hu- midity high by keeping the stor- age floor continuously damp; (6) Do flot pile the roots over 6 feet deep. Additional information on tur nips may be had by obtainingui from your Agricultural Represen- tative a copy o! the Qntario De- partment of Agriculture bulletin 472 entitled "Table Turnips." Producer Marketing In Export Field Direct marketing o!f arn-i pro- ducts into the export markets by producer-elected m a r k e t i n g boards made an important step forward in Canada in the past year. During 1950 negotiations were concluded between pro- ducer marketing boards in the apple industry in B. C. and Nova Scotia, dealing direct with the British ministry of food. This year an outstanding ex- ample was the successfui nego- tiation by the new cheese pro- ducers' marketing board o! On- tario wlth the British niinistry o! food for a contract for 20,000,000 lbs. of cheese, which is approx- imately the surplus o! cheese made in Canada over and above d o mes9ti c requirements. The cheese marketing board was org- anized only this year under On- tario marketing legisiation, with authority to deal in the export field granted to themn under Fed- eral marketing Bill No. 82, pass- ed by the House o! Commons two years ago, following some years o! negotiation between organized agriculture and the federal gov- ernrnent for federal marketing legisîntion.

Hannam Shows Impact of Defence Programme on Agriculture Is Detrimental Io Farm Economy, 'From the viewpoint of the farmer, the impact of Canada', defence pragram on the Can- adian economy bas been very striking and the repercussions will be felt for some littie time," deciared H. H. Hannam, president o! theCanadian Federation o! Ag- riculture, in discussing this sub- ject at the annual joint conference at Guelph, Ontario, o! the Ameni- can Farm Economic Association and the Canadian Agricultural Economic Society, July 24. Dîsagreeing wth the viewpoint expressed by some ecanamists at the Guelph conference that the impact o! the defence program has been smaii and would be rela- tively unimportant in the future, Mr. Hannam pointcd out that fied grades wvas' len fo fifteen cents Per bushel higher (han Com- mercial No. 1. Fali Rye Commercial No. 1 Grade, va- rities other than Horton, $2.00 per bushel, bags extra. Commercial No. 1 Grade, Hor- ton variety, $2.50 per bushel, bags extra. AIl these prices basis at farm or local shipping point. from May, 1950, prior ta the out- break o! the Koî-ean canfliet. ta June o! this year, prices o! indus- trial materiais had risen 32 per cent, retail food prices bad risen 17 per cent, cost of living 12 per cent, farm prices 15 per cent. In the same period farm wage rates rose 1L per cent and wage rates in manufaeturng rose 10.8 per cent. "We have ta go back ta the infiationary days o! decontrol, 1946-48, ta get a comparable sit- uation" said Mr. Hannam. "A year aga." said Mr. Hannam, "agriculture was threatened with food surpluses. Today, stock o! mast produets. save feed grains, are low. High empio *vmcnt at relativeir high w'ageq has increas- ed demnands iii the domestie mar-j ket and greatiy reduced the sup- plv of farmn produets available for export. Ternpoî-arii *v, this lias been satisfactory ta agriculture, but the ioss o! table export out- lets could be a seriaus matter for agriculture in the future, since external trade hias been so im- portant in the development and pragress of the farming industry." Mr-. Hannam refcrred also ta the severe labor shortage. an farms in Canada, dtue to defence activities and high industrial ac- tivity. 'The feeling is that this shartage is the worst we have-c ever experîenced," hie said.
