Much Codllinq Math Damage - Newcastle The Dominion Department oi Agriculture in its weekly crop report states that codling math' damage is severe in the apple or- chards ai the Newcastle district, and that the orchards in that area which suffered bail damage will have mostly law grade fruit. The harvestîng oi early vari- eties of apples in the lakeshore district ai Eastern Ontaria 15 naw well advanced with a gaod de- mand for large size Meibas. Buyers are now active purchas- ing apples an the trees fordu ture delivery. Demand for pra- cessing varieties such as Stark, Baldwin and Greening is strong. Prices Paid for orchard run, cuils out, about the same as last year. Late scab is now appearing in many orchards as some blocks will be affected fairly heavily. Red Banded Leaf Roller is caus- ing seriaus concern in Trentan- Brighton area. Ontario Crops Are Greatest in History States Col. Kennedy Ontario's iarms this year will yield a crop worth $1,250,000,000, their greatest ever, according ta a repart given out Monday liv Ontario Agriculture Minister Col. T. L. Kennedy. This is about $200,000,000 more than the pre- viaus higli. Qats, hay and pasture have been particularly valualile, said Col. Kennedy. The latter, 'he said, is "one af the most important and valuable assets we have, thougli a lot af people don't realize it." Some $40,000,000 worth ai cattle have been sold out ai the province in the first aine moaths ai the year, he said. Beef and dairy cattie have been paying well. "We always bave about $100,- 000,000 ai pigs and this year it will lie quite a bit more," be con- tinued. "We have, say, 3,000,000 pigs at $45 each . . . it runs toaa lot af maney. "Eggs and poultry will run ta about $80,000,000 ta $90,000,000. We bave sa many craps bere; that's the thiag. "Tobacca will lie worth about $50,000,000.. Soy and white beans will lîring a lot. Then there's wheat-not a big crop-liut worth about $27,50,000. It's a great crop and everyone should be thank- fuI." Itemon4iration Beef Pasture Farms Being Completed ,'Arrangements have naw been campleted for the leaving ai 5 De- monstration Beef Pasture Farms in Ontario. This announcement conies irom W. P. Watson. Live- stock Commissioner for Ontario wbo is chairman ai the Commit- tee handling this praj oct. He says this camplete the first step in the five-year prograns which bas beerr laid down ta determine and ta demonstrate wbat, can lie dane ta iacrease the carrying capacity ai Pasture land and ta lower costs ai beef production by so doing. The farms selected were only carryiag about 20 bead aif bel cattle per 100 acres during the summer months. It is expected the demanstratioli will show that, by proper trpatment ai the pas- ture, the carrving capacity can be greatly increased. Located in five important beef producing counties ai Ontario - Kent, Middlesex, Victoria, Bruce and Lanark-these farms were reated at current rates in the district. rhree of the farms are hundred- acre plots, another is 75 acres, and the fiith 131 acres. Each farm will lie divided inta three plots of equal size. One plat will lie plowed this laîll, then cultivated, fertilized and seeded as early as possibile next spring. The second îlot on each farm will be fertil- .zed this faîl. 350 pounds ai 3- 18-9 fertilizer plus 100 pounds ai cyanamid per acre will be ap- îlied. The third plot an eacb farm will left in its present condition as a check plat. Arrangements are lieiag made locally for cattle ta lie pastuýed on this land. In alI cases the own- ers will lie required ta place a specified number oi cattle on each plot and ta ]eave these cattle mn the Plats as long as directed by the cornn-ittee in charLie 0f the c p the Greatest Value il in Ginger Aies -3" U NCR B OT TLE S i5 BOITLE Government Tax Include'1 autaide Pointa S)igh t!7 Higher proj ect, or ta replace tnem witn* other cattie. In any event, scales will Ïbe installed s0 the cattie can be weighed when they are placed, on the property and when they are removed. Accurate records will be kept of the costs of improving the grass and af the amount af beef produced during the period af the demonstration. From these, the committee will be able ta obtain accurate data on the value of taking steps to imprave the pas- tures in order to lower the cost af producing beef. The project was initiated at the request ai the Ontario Beef Cattie Producers Association, but to carry it forward they have en- listed the co-operation af a num- ber of organizations. Aso rep- resented on the Commnittee are the Livestock, Crops and Research Association, the Departments oi Animal Husbandry, Field Hus- bandry, Soils, and Agricultural Engineering at the Ontario Ag- ricultural College, The Western Ontario Experimental Station and Kemptville Agricultural School. Two Durhamn Farmers Rate Over 70 Bushels Ont. Wheat Contest Top yield la the 269 enntries competed in the Fiity Bushel Wbeat Club in Ontario was 72.2 bushels per acre obtained 'ly Harry G. Strang, R.
