For that eason one of the main purposes of ecent studies by the Tarm Economnics Branch. Ontario Departnient o! Agriculture, bas been to determine the time re- qured to perform variaus jobs in agriculture and where time may be saved. Extensive studies have been mnade of canning peas, sweet corn and tomatoes, as weil as patatoes and hog production. Canning peas equimed an ave- rage of 14 hours in man-time on 145 tarins studied. However. saine handled an acre of peas ight through, including bamvesting, in 1l hours while another with low- er yields required 37 hours o! mnan-time per acre. - Sweet corn required an average of 26 hours o! man-time per acre, with individual farms using frain Il ta 42 boums per acre in the saane caunty. Tomatoes equired an average o! 135 hours per acre on 162 tarins. The range .man from 95 hours ta 162 boums per acre in thec saine county. Thne study bas evealed a nuin- ber o! important tbings. One cause of the difference in turne was size and shape of fields ini rwhich the crops were grown. larger fields taok les. turne per acre. Iregular shape in fields increased the tume required. Type o! machinery used was a very im- portant cause of difference. Some v'ery efficient machines are avail- able, but rnany growers do not use thein because o! hlgh capital investinent lnvolved. This wvas especially tmue o! those witlî sinall acreages. Another important cause of difference was the number of times a field was worked over befome planting. Some went over the land only thmee turnes while others worked on a field 11 times before planting. However, yield did not increase beyond, four times, sa that the extra work was either due ta unfortunate sali conditions or represented a coin- pletely wasted effort. Two hundred and sixty-six growers required an average of 122 man-hours per acre of pota- tocs. One grower, with good equipinent, produccd a crop witb only 31 man-hours, wbile anotber farm nearby, using mainly hand methods, required 235 boums per acre. Yet there was very littie difference in yield. Potatoes are anc crop in wbicb production is bcing mecbanized most rapidly at tbe moment, ai 7« PHONIE 7741 1 EING ST..

No. 4, DARLINGTON On Ma-ch 27 we met at the homne of Mr. and Mrs. Hlilton Tink with an attendance of twen- ty. The ycar's questionnaire was fiiled ini, reviewing our discus- sion for this year. and deciding upon the topica we pref or for next year. Our 1949 -1950 regular seasan was brought ta a close with a pot-luck supper ln the Sunday Scbool reoom o! Ebcnezer Churcli on April 3. After a bountiful sup- per we listened ta the broadcast. We were then privileged ta have as our speaker, E. J. MeGarrity, manager of Durham Farmers' County Co-op, Orono. who out- lined the work of Co-ops in Can- ada and throughout the World. This, the ninth year of aur Farmn Forum, bas been an inter- esting and profitable one. Twenty meeting have been held with an average attendance o! twenty- six. Plans are now under way for a social evening et the Oshawa Airport some time in the near future. Twenty Million Trees Being Distributed Thru Dept. of Lands Nearly twenty million young trees are now being distributed by the reforestation division, On- tario Department of Lands and Forests, but millions more are required ta meet a demand which bas been increasing by leaps and bounds sînce the free distribution of trees began in 1905 with an output of 5,000 trees. Following the establishmnent of nurseries at Midhurst and Orono after World War One, output of planting stock increased until in 1939, 71/ million trees were dis- tributed while last year the total distribution was mno re t ha n 17,000,000. At present, the Department operates five reforestation sta- tions: St. Williams, with 4,000 acres; Midhurst, 2,500 acres; Or- ono, 900 acres; Kemptville, 1,500 and Fort William, 400 acres. According ta E. J. Zavitz, chief of the Reforestation Division, "1most tree seed is gatbered in northern Ontario by the Depart- ment and sent ta the seed extract- ing plant at Angus. This station is equipped with the most modemn methods of extractîng, cleaning and storing seed, which is shipped then ta the nurseries. It takes twa ta three years ta produce satisfactory p 1 a n t i n g stock; one ta two years in seed beds and one ta two years as transplants. The nurseries are naw equipped ta produce froin 50 ta 60 million plants in the seeding stage and with the de- velopment of sub-stations attacli- cd ta the major reforestation areas, the total available planting stock could reach at least 60 mil- lion trees a year, Mr. Zavitz said. It has been the practice of the Department ta distribute trees for planting, free of charge. In the recent report of the Legis- lature's select committee on con- servation, however, there may be indications of a change o! policy. The committee suggested: "The purpose was ta encourage refor- estation, and with this purpose the committee is wholly in ac- cord. . . . However, there is evi- dence that the free trees are care- lessly handled in many cases, probably because it costs nothing ta obtain thein. It is reasonable ta suppose that they would be more carefully handled if even a small price were attached. This might nlot have been possible in the early days o! distribution, but recently the demand has ex- ceeded the supply. "Moeover, submissions ta this committee indicate that consider- able stock from governinent nur- series is being utilized for the commercial %Christmas tree trade. This is an industry ta be encour- aged on submamginal agricultural land, but it is also a revenue-pro- ducing industry. . . In the op- inion of this committee, nursery stock for stxch purposes should not be distributed free."' Lands and Fomests Minister, Harold R. Scott, declared that the Depatment for saine time had been studying the problem of making a nominal charge for the trees in view of the committee's recommendation "aur study wil certainly be continued' Seretse Khama, dethroned Af- frican chie! with the English wife, is an Oxford graduate. spokesman for the Departinent points out. Othem causes o! vari- ation in turne are similar ta those in canning crops. It took 55 bog-producems an av- erage o! 28 boums for every 1,000 pounds o! pomk poduced. One operator with seif-feeders, run- ning water at evemy pen and n canvenient cleaning systein, was able ta do the saine job well iu 12 boums, while another without these conveniences mquired 65 boums to do exactly the same job. An officiai o! the Farm Mar- kets Branch polnted out, howevem, that iA wiil take a good deal o! individual study and careful in- vestinut, befome turne and efforts can be educed ta the low marks set by those few low-time -e quirenients. The margin ls so wide, bow- ever, lie points ouf, that consider- able snving can be made by a majority o! famms wifh elatively lew change&. Feed Running Low In Durham County Fecd supplies in general and hay in particular are running low on many farms in Durham Coun- ty, according to a report received today from the Ontario Depart- ment of Agriculture. Straw is aiso scarce on some farms. How- ever. with the exception of barley there appears to be an ample sup- ply of seed grain. The sap run to date has been very encourag- ing. There are practically no men looking for farm work in the county except the occasional tran- sient and county farmers are not prone ta employ such labour. Grass Silage Solves Winter Feed Problem "Grass silage will be the sav- iour of Canada's winter feed pro- blem," Melvin Shuh, Kitchener, Ontario dairyman, told a meeting of 1,000 district farmers at the Waterloo County annual seed fair recently. He said that grass sul- age brought bis herd of 75 Jerseys through the last few winters with no loss of production and in bet- ter condition than bas been his experience with hay and corn feed. "It takes courage ta go into this program," he warned. "You have ta keep after the land at al times, fertilize every year for greater yields and plow your fields under and re-seed every two years." In Shuh's opinion the younger grass left lying for an hour after cutting made the best feed. It is much cheaper than corn and involves less trouble in growing and handling. The average Protestant church member contributes $23.71 an- nually ta his church. The landlocked salmon which neyer goes ta the sea-though in many cases it could-has larger scales than the Atlantic salmon. ~PNEUMATIC TIRES PUT NEW LWB INTO THAT OLD WAGON and get better-than-ever servicel Equip it with Otaco Steel Wheels and a set of uscd automobile tires.

The first o! the speakers was Rev. Harry Mellow, Northminster 'United Church, Oshawa, wbo dis- cussed the essential components o! a Christian Marriage, on April 3. Christian MWarriage Discussed Iu a fank and understandable manner, Mm. Mellow discussed the physical side o! mamried life before showing the young people how vital if is to bave au alemt and keen mind. "No young lady would want ta marry a man wbo always talks about famm pro- ducts," said Mm. Mellow. "And a young man would not wish ta marmy a girl who eould tbink or talk o! nothing but the latest show, or saine other topic wbicb is o! littie interest."l Mm. Meilow also pointed ouf the proper place of etiquette and courtesy in maintnining n happy relationship. The foumth and final point is ta build a marriage ou Christian principles. Taking examples from. bis wide experi- ence as a minister, Mr. Mellow told o! saine o! the broken mar- niages which he had had ta deal witb, and poiuted ouf their causes and how they could have been avoidcd. Saine o! Uic young people froin Nortbminster Chumch accompan- led Mr. Meflow and participated in the worship service and sing- sang which bmought tlic meeting to a close. Speaks on 'flendahip Rcv.
