Farmers Warned Against Last Minute Fertilizer Rush Shauld real spring 'weather break with little warning there wîll be a big last-minute rush on the part of Ontario farmers ta get fertilizer orders filled, ac- cording ta Alex M. Mooney, a 'member af the Ontario Advlsory Fertilizer Board. Mr. Maoney warns that disappointments are sure ta accur if orders-are placed at the last marnent. A survey indicates that there will be as much fertilizer used this year as there was in 1953. The predictian is that tabacco acreage will be increased with the general tendency being ta use mare fertilizers per acre than is recommended by the Advisary Board. Fewer acres ai patataes will be planted this year and it is reparted that mare credit will be needed ta finance the crap than last year. The use ai 10-10-10, a relative- ly ne* mixture, ls grawing by leaps and baunds. In 1952 les than 2,300 tans of this mixture was sald in Ontaria, while in 1953 more than 12,000 tans were used. This tannage, it is freely predicted, will be exceeded this year. More attention la being given to fertilizing hay and pasture crops and it is an these crops, Mr. Moaney fels, that the farmer will get the greatest return on his fertilizer dollar. The booklet prepared by the O n t ario Advisory Fertilizer Baard provides advice on the praper fertilizers ta use on al major craps and may be had free by writing ta A. H. Martin, Secretary af the Ontario Advis- ary Fertilizer Board, Field Craps Branch, Parliament Buildings, Toronto, Ontaria.

Brown, Newcastle, presidiag. The decîsion la this matter wa.à treferred with approval ta th?ý iannual meeting after the Royal Winten Fain ia November. Record of Value Ed. A. Summers ai Bowman- Eville stressed the atcamplish- Lments last year: the showin:j iand sale ai close ta 1,000 bush- els of registened seed; a Junior Farmers Day that brougbt &85 boys af the district together la their judging campetition; a 4-H1 Club dlsplay ai seeds that was decidedly attractive and inter. estlng; satisfactory reports fnorn exhibitons at the Show. "I'd want that Junior dcpart- ment if we had nothing else," was Mr. Summers' rating. "Probably we should not leave out af our reckoning the Show's contribution ta the extension work ai the Department ai Agriculture," Mr. Brown said. "We bad the best show of grain la aur record, but wc were a little like Peterborough Exhibition," said George Mc- Oshawa. "The Exhibition last year wasý the best agricultural show they even had here, but tbey were down at the gate." It transpired that some ai the dinectors came ta this post- Show meeting more or less dis- pirited by the lack ai the im- proved accommodation which the Sprng Show board bas been expecting since they de-ý cide ta settie down ia Peterbor- ough.
