rodney oats some growers in west- j era ontario say rodneys are great stoolers and that one bushel is plenty and not over six pecks we checked with on don hunt ley of the field husbandry de partment at the oac and he ajg- tees that in favorable spring sax pecks per acre is enough for most of the oat varieties but in a spring when seeding is late there is not the normal amount of stooling tak es place and therefore in a year like this two bushels per should be about right hi tub pustbumb p hundreds of thousands of compensation of employees in canada in 1929 was 2 9 billion 61 i per cent of
