prior to april 16th for shipment prior to may 31 1940 no further private importations into oreal britain will be permitted and it is un derstood the intention of the british ministry of food is that

found that luck plays a negligible part and the really successful farmer will be found to be a hard worker to an ability to tackle herd work with a vim add a fair measure of common sense and a habit of giving proper attention to necessary tasks and you have an almost ideal combination the failure of many otherwise promising young farmers can fre quently be traced to an aversion to the sort of labor which their fathers accepted as part of the dally routine and that fateful habit of putting off till tomorrow the task which is urgent today recollection brings to mind the case gf one young fanner who lost a valuable heifer it had crashed through the rotting cover boards of a well hole in the barnyard and had to be destroyed we remembered that old well visiting the farm as a boy we had been warned to keep away irom it because the cover boards were rotting enquiring elicited the in formation that it had never been properly repaired in all the intervening years why just last week tentative enquiry had been made at the lumber mill with a view to possible repairs i but the job had been put off that was typical of the whole farm such failure to do the really necessary tasks of repair is too typical of too many farms in this district the result is that fences are broken barns are falling down piecemeal implement sheds afford no proper protection to valuable machinery and poultry houses and stock pens are mere caricatures of what lhcy ought to be more serious result is that all this dilapidation is creating or has already created an attitude of defeatism in the mind of the farm occupant surrounded by decay he has lost ambition and pride and optimism tlie condition is not fortunately a hopeless one it can be reme died there is no better llmt than the present take stock of the outer surroundings and plan carefully and methodically always with an eye to economy for thi repairs that will halt the progress of waste and decay once started on a program of planned

agriculture a weeder is pre ferred but the lever narrow or dia mond toothed harrow may be used with care when spring grain crops and fall wheat which have not been seeded don are up 2 to- 4 inches the weeder may be used preferably with the rows m the afternoon when plants are not so brittle this stirring of the sur face soil breaks the crust forms a mulch thereby conserving moisture and destroys many annual weeds in the seedling stage this method should ntver be employed immediate ly following a rain the weeo population in hoed crops sucrtas com and potatoes may be re duced to a minimum by the use of the wetfder or harrow soon after plant ing and continued until the crop ls 3 to 4 inches high the weeder may even be used on sugar beets mangels and turnips just after they are up m the drills and will prove very helpful in controlling weeds without injuring the crop this method ls a practical one which has been adopted by many far mers throughout the province with ex cellent results
