THE CANADIAN STATESMAN. BOWMA!WILLE, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 17, 1931 PAGE ELEVEN News for The Busy Farmer 4With trie coining o! colti weather, live stock lias been stableti anti is in better condition tran usual. An in- creaseti acreage o! fall plowing is re- portet f rom thie majority ti counties. Fall wheat has an excellent top andi shoulti pass trie winter in gooti con- dition. A consitierable quantîfy o! heavy, well-finisriet poultry is being marketed andtihre volume will ini- crease as trie festive season ap- proacries. Poultry Grades Most o! trie poultry being offereti on trie market tris year is being gradeti in accordance witri govern- ment standards. wif hitrie clasa anti grade marked by tags affixedt f the breast o! trie bird. There are two classes o! poultry, "Milk-fed," dis-î tinguisheti by wite f at, anti "Sel- ,ecteti," distinguisheti by yellow fat. Within triese classes are trie grades "Milkfeti A," "Milkfeti B," "Selecteti A," '"Selecteti B" anti "Selecteti C." Gratiing o! trie birds in tris manner enables trie houseriolder f0 choose gooti dresseti poultry with great ease. Embargo Lifted Trie embargo on trie importation o! caff le f rom trie Olti Country has been removeti at far as Scoflanti ,ïs concerniet, since there riave been1 rino outbreaks o! foot -anti-moutri dis-1 ease in triai country over a satisfac- tory perioti. AnimaIs f rom Scotlanti may now be importeti providing that 1 they are embarkti ai a port in Scot-1 landi on a vessel sailing direct ta Canada without touching at an Eng-1 lisri port. Trie feeti accompanying trie caffle for use en route must also have been grown anti storet inl Scot- landi. Trie order permits considera- tion o! applications for trie importa- tion of cattie, srieep, other rumin- ants, anti swine f rom Scotianti. O. A. C. Short Courses Young farmers in many parts o! Ontario are sriowing keen interest in trie O. A.

Overseas Apple Market With motierate trans-At lantic shipinents early in November, trie demandt for apples in the Unit ed Kingtiom has been steady wif h prices sllghtly f irmer, reports Andrew Fui- ton, Ontario growers' representative. Mr. Fulton states that rie las re- ceiveti some apples in recent sriip- ments whiclu were poorly packed anti I rie points ouf that trie shippers cari- flot expect f0 receive top prices.

Reduce Fertilizer Brands Trie list o! 76 brantis o! fertilizers registereti for sale in Canada was reduceti to 28 for Ontario at a recent conference li Toronto. Tria move is trie outcome o! trie co-operafive de- monstrafion work carrieti on by O. A.

HOW THE ONTARIO FARMER CAN INCREASE HIS LABOUR INCOME A Summarized Statement of Ways andi Means by Which trie Farmer Can Improi c His FinanciIrosi- tion - Baseti on Opinions Sub- mitted by Ag..u-iZural Represent- atives. Thie improv'enenu. o! the financlal position o! 'uhe Ontario farmner can in general be accomplisheti by one o! fwo ways: (a> Better Management (b) Ixnproved Marketing Metriots. Tne iridividual fariner cannot, to any extent. appreciably improve marketing methotis. Tis can only be accomplisheti by concerteti action o! a gootily percentage o! trie group vitally concerneti. It is therefore, by better management that trie indiviti- ual farmner can best immetiiately in- prove ris position. There is no single panacea for trie problem. Not only does it vary in tifferent parts o! trie Province. in different coun- fies, in different comnunities, but quite often on atijoining farins. Speaking generally. if Is. f00 o! ten. trie little f rings, wriicr trie average fariner considers 'too mucri bother," "not worth wliile," which make trie difference between profit anti loss on our Ontario farins. Dairying 1. Production o! trie Bulk o! Con- centrate Ration on trie Home Farin -Ail toc, frequently f00 large a per- centage o! the milk cheque s requir- eti to pay trie feeti bill. Tis can be largely overcome by growing more legumes, sucri as alfaif a anti sweet cloyer for hay anti pastures; peas or peas anti oats for hay anti grain; soy beans or flax as supplementary grain feetis. 2. Uni! orm Production o! Milk througriout trie Year.-Triis woulti to some extent eliminate gluts anti hold-backs. In summer dairying districts tins woulti result in trie utilization o! machinery anti equip- ment in cxeameries anti cheese fac- tories which at trie present time only operate froin 6 to 9 montris. 3. Greater Diversification-Hogs anti poultry shoulti be kept on prac- tically every farm. Notwtristandmng trie present 10w prices for triese pro- tiucts andtihre ikelihooti o! lower prices for hogs, grain can almost al- ways be marketeti profitably trirougli these channels. 4. Summer Pastures-Supplemen- tary feeti in trie forni o! annual pas- ture or silage crops shoulti re pro- videti to carry the herti over trie per- ioti when permanent pastures are tirying up. 5. Fewer anti Better Cows being Feti Larger Rations-Far toti large a percentage o! our cows are losing Propositions. Many o! these cows would pay tiieir way if given a chance. Too many herds are feti on a ration lttie better than mainten- ance requirements. Trie Babcock test is trie oniy reliabie way o! weed- ing ouf 10w producers anti 10w test- era which are costing our dairymen hundretis o! thousantis o! dollars ev- ery year. A herd sire froin R. O. P. stock is trie only sure way oif making progress. 6. Production o! Larger Yieltis o! Grain and Rougriage at Lower Cost Per unit--Onfario cereal crops are largely marketed trirougri her live stock. Trie lower trie initial cost o! sucri cropa, trie greater profit on trie final product. Surveys matie during trie past f ew yeara show conclusively trie possibilities o! increaseti revenue froin tins source. a) Seeti trill surveys reveal that froin 1-3 to 1-2 seeti grain grades rejecteti, owing f0 weeti seeti con- tent. general quality or 10w germin- ation. (b> Survev in Oxford County re- veals that 5017 variefies o! oats be- ing sown were discartiet by trie On- tarioi Agricultural College yeara ago as totally unsuitedti f Ontario agri- culture. <c) A furtrier survey in Oxford County 'ýnd also in other counties revealq individual basses o! over 50% froin loose amut li oats. Thie aver- tige bass f rom this disease over trie Province is at least 1017,tris year. Remedy Al fhree factors are under trie direct control o! Ontario Fainera. without any appreciabie expense, by using recommenieti varieties, well cleaneti anti treateti with formalin. Coupleti with tris, shorter rotations with more legumes anti more care in running water f urrows anti open ditches would greafly increase yields. Transportation o!

CO-OPERATIVE PACKERS COMMENCE DRIVE FOR MEMBIERSHIP Some Important Points Outlined For thie Benefit of Members of lNew tniteu Counties Organization.

Hiow are profits divitiet? Par- agrapri 12 of Trie Comparuies Act clearly-vaefines this as foUlows "I ter trie Directors hiave set asidesc suras as triey deem atvisable for a reserve funti, they shall proceeti to pay 7 1'o iterest on aUl paiti Up memi- berships, and on trie paid Up portion of others, a! ter wriicri they skiali di- vide up any remiainmng profits pro rata to trie amount o! produce triat each member rias supplieti to trie Corporation." 4. Who wil control trie salaries of the Presitient and trie Boardi of Directors? Trie position of Presi- dent and othier Directors are hionor- ary positions. and apart f romt re- ceivirig their expenses for attending Board meetings, and any suni which trie Corporation may aliow thim for trieir trne. theY are entitled to no otrier payments. 5. What benefits are Members gomng to derive? There are numer- ous, but most important amongst them is triat they will control their produce, until it arrives in trie rands of trie retail merchant, and will re- ceive trie retail mercliants price for it insteati of trie drover's price. Trie iollowing extract f rom Geneva dated December Sthi. is clear proof that trie time rias arriveti when trie farmer must have a greater control over lus own protiucts. Trie extract reads as follows* "Trie Association of Civil Engineers of Budapest riave placeti before trie League of Nations a motion that a trust of eiglit lead- ing Agricultural States f ix the price of agriculturai products, trieir con- tention being triai until agrîcultuî'al products are placeti on a profitable basîs trie rest of trie economic struct- ure o! trie world will neyer be rigrit- Tris can only be accomplishiet by co-operation. Trie basic intiustry of trie world is agriculture, but trie peo- ple employeti in tris industry have allowed their protiucts to be govern- ed by vesteti interests who have one tlung in mind. and one only, naine- ly, dividends for their shareholders at trie cost of ail others concerned. By co-operation trie agricultural intiustry can become trie stabilizng factor of trie worlti's economic struc- ture, but not until trie proclucts of agriculture are taken out of trie hands of financial interests. Trie advantage o! colti storage for eggs will enable members to realize a better price for their produce by holding thein over until trie market improves. Is trie Co-operative movement ac- tive? Yes. Already plans are under have saved $175 on tris item alone. (a> Carlot purchiases oif feeti and fertilizers. (b) Greater self -sustaininent o! farm families. Too many farm f am- Ulies purchase too large a percentage of their vegetables as Weil as their butter. meat potatoes, breati andi in some instances, even eggs. (c) Utilisation of horse labor where available anti consequent sav- ing in tractor operating costs. 2. Production of Quality Products and Grading for Market. Fruit and Vegetable Growing Reports woulti infer that sucri growers are more efficient generally trian are farmers engaged i n mixeti and dairy farmlng. Improvement, tîowever, can be made generally. 1. Better Orchard Management- More attention shoulti be given to suchi cultural practices as trie grow- ing of legume cover crops, spraying and pruning. 2. Diversification in Vegetable Crops and Sinall Fruits. 3. Co-operation with Fruit anti Vegetable Council. 4. Use More Commercial Fertil- izers-In generai fruit and vegetable Due to Twin m Power Detection ibhes consideration for a Co-operative Packing Plant ta take care of Peter- boro anti Hastings County, anti meetings for tris purpose are belng rielti on trie l7th anti l8th of De- cember.
