Massy-FrgusLon l Imited cmRONT In arcas of tbe province wbere frost has not yet destroyed po- tato tops, chemical vine killers are being used successfully to stop growth, reports the Field Crops Branch of the. Ontaric Departinent o! Agriculture. This new method bas been used ta advantage during recent years, aiter which the quality of th-, potato crop has improved. The foliowing are some rea- sons for using a vine killer: ta allow tubers to mature and harden up before digging; to prevent oversize and bruising; to belp conitrol the. spread of Late Bligbt; to prevent trans- mission of virus diseases by aphids and other insects; ta allow easier harvesting; to in- crease dry matter content and improve cooking quality; teai- low the grower to spread uis harvest over a longer period; ta harvest 'before prevailing low temperatures late in the season damage color and cooking quai- ity. Materials in common use are: as a du.9t, Aero Cyanamid ap- plied at the rate o! 75 ta 90 pounds per acre, depending on size o! tops, or two split appli- cations of 30 to 35 pounds per acre. In addition to top kiliers, Most o! wbich have Sodium Arsenite Dairymen Watch for Mastitis Mastitis is the meost costly disease of cattle facing the. dai- rymen today. Not oniy is it an expensiv-e disease to treat but its costs are furtiier increased by its damage to valuable hei- fers and cows. Mastitis has forc- ed the removal of far too many good cows from tue milking lne before they reached ma- turity and maximum produc- tion. ' Reduced toa-ts simpiest defin- Mton, mastitis is considered te b. an inflammation o! the ud- der fromn any cause. Usually the discase results in visible changes ln the. milk, although this is flot always the case. According to recent research work donc at the. Ontario Ve+- erinary Coliege the care and maintenance of the milking ma- chine are very important in the control o! the disease. The et- feets on the. cow of a properly functioning miiking machine more ciosely resemble that of the. nursing cal! than did tue old fashioned method of hand niilking.

Saving Labor Dairy Farm The saving of labor IseIrm- portant, and especially so on a dairy farm where, because the industry is highly competitive, labor costs can mean the dif- ference betweeni success and failure. In this day of smali marginal profits, the farmer must strive to economize in his efforts, ra- ther than follow the laborious routines practised by his father and grandfather. Prof. Frank Theakston, Department of Agri- cultural Engineering, Ontario Agricultural College, advises that many simple devices are available, or can be conistruct- ed, which will greatly reduce the labor necessary on a dairy farm. The ruovement of materials and equipment, especially in the feeding operation, constitutes a good share of the labor. Since feed is usuaily heavy or awk- ward to move. simple metbods should be devised for this job. Self.fceding devices are of great assistance and many farmers have created their own self- feeders. Hay may b. sel!-fed from hay racks in the yard or in the sta- ble; straw should be stored over- head for both loose housinx and stali barns sa that it can be dropped through chutes for bed- ding; the silage cart should be chosen for its ability to go [ATTENTION!
