ef freeman rela tive to their experience with chem ical week killers mr palmer re ported excellent results from spray ing with 24d an 18 acre field heavily infested with chicory it vvas the opinion of both speakers that success was due first to the ipray being applied in early june when tlie chicory was in the rapid growing stage and secondly to the proper amount of 24d add being npplied per acre w t breckon repotted on the becd situation on bchulf of tile seed marketing committee of the ont ario crop lmpiuvcmcnt association mr breckon pointed out that u s authorities are planning to take 41

of onto this iann eon- of several hundred was taken over by mr bromfleld some eight year ago mr msher described it as a veritable garden of eden built out of a wilderness of weeds and badly run down soil it was the best form i have ever seen stated mr fisher and i dont believe half of what i saw he related that malabar farm is largely in sod no corn being grown and only a comparatively small acreage of grain fortytwo hundred bus of fall wheat were reported to have been harvested this year from 70 acres due to tho increased organic matter and fertil ity of malabar farms it has been possible to reduce the rato of seed ing by ono third today mr brom- flclds mixture is 8 lbs alfalfa 5 lbs of brome and half a pound of lodlno clover por acfc mr fisher anted the main equipment being used at malabar farm were the oneway disc the seaman tiller and a hydraulic stifftooth cultiva tor which stirs the soil to a depth cf twelve inches in short it was an amazing and an ustoundtng story which mr fisher presented to his keenly interested audience it was announced at the meeting that louis bromfleld is to address the nuual banquet of the ontario crop improvement association in tor onto on january 10th tickets are ilicady in keen demand and any if our leaders who are interested in heailng this noted author and famicr would be well advised to place theli oruer immediately at the

definite announcement con tenting british contracts for cana dian agricultural produce in 1050 perhaps b the time this appears in ptint those announcements will have been made and the air cleared local hog and poultry producers ire particularly concerned true u -iaw- tanada fell far short of filling her auphail ij bacon contract which colled i m 100 million pounds in so far as we can determine our shipments to great britain in 1949 are likely to range between 50 and 60 million pounds while this represents but i small fraction of canadas pork pioduction nevertheless a surplus of een this amount could be most t mbarrassing and hae a disastrous effect on hog prices it is antici pated that hog marketings in can- da during 1950 will be slightly higher than for the preceding 12 nonths consequent canada def- initcl needs a contract for 70 or 75 million pounds in 1950 to ensure continuance of anything like pres ent prices however lets hope lor the best and await the pronounce ments
