Prize Lists for 1917 are printed and may be had from JYS. Moorcraft, Secretary, Bowmanville.. » We commend to every young West Durham farmer, and every other, these timely suggestions: - _ It is the duty of every young man if he has reasonably good stock/on the place to fit it for the local fair which requires support support of all stockmen in the neighborhood to make it a success. Without live stock most exhibitions would fall flat. Give the neighbors an opportunity to see what you can produce on the old farm and by reason of coming in close touch with other other exhibitors you will no _ doubt pick up information to aid you in further preparing preparing your herd for shows. There is no reason why two or three men should drive their stock from fair to fair all fall, •'cop- pin g off" the greater portion of the prize money. In every community there are animals that would compete favorably with the best usually brought out if they were given a little fitting and training. The writer knows of local fairs that have been greatly improved by the young men helping in the management and bringing out the best stock they had on the place. While they were not very successful the first year in the show-ring, they profited by their experience and came back the following year and were able to get to the top in several classes. This had the effect of waking up the old exhibitors who were used to having things their own way, and encouraged other young men to make entries. entries. Stronger competition is not only good for the fair but it has a tendency to improve the quality of live stock kept in the community. The ambitious boy doesn't doesn't like to see the other fellow get ahead of him, consequently he secures good stock, trains and shows it. At many fairs there are classes for amateurs so that those starting have an opportunity of winning some prizes. However, the prize should not he the whole aim. The educational value ought to be considered. Look over the home stock and see if there is not something that could be shown. It may be a team of horses, a colt, or the driver, or possibly some of the cattle, sheep or hogs could be put in.condition and trained trained in readiness for the show season. _ May be you could make several entries in the poultry department. Think it over and decide on what you will show in time to permit of training and fitting. Don't do like some have- done in the past--just take the animals because they happen to know that certain classes have very few entries and they will run a chance of making a little money. Be a sport; fit your stock and make it worthy of you and of the farm. If you fail to get near the top you will at least feel that you have done your best. Be a good loser and remember that it is more honor to stand fifth or sixth in a class of eight or ten, than to get the red ribbon without competition.--Farmer's Advocate. Wheat! Wheat! VWheat ! Farmers of Durham County prepare now for the 1918 harvest by sowing every possible acre to Fall Wheat. The Wheat crop of Canada is jnst as important as the making of munitions in the winning of the War. Avoid every possible chance of failure by preparing a fine, even seed bed, sowing sowing good plump seed, and treating every bushel of seed Grain for Smut. Land to be sown to Fall Wheat should be plowed from five to eight inches deep. as soon as possible after harvest. This allows the seed bed to become firm before seeding. The ground should be lightly cultivated or harrowed at fréquent intervals, so as to kill all growth of weeds and keep a loose mulch on the surface of the soil, which helps to check evaporation of water from the ground. Dawson's Golden Chaff, Imperial Amber, and Early Genesee Giant yielded 51.1, 48.1, and 46.5, bushels respectively over a period of nineteen years at the Experimental Experimental Farm, Guelph. Sow nothing but large, plump, smooth, bright Seed. It will pay, and pay well. If you cannot procure good Seed in your neighborhood, the Department of Agriculture Agriculture may be able to put you in touch with men who have Seed for sale. The estimated average annual loss due to Smut is about four per cent of the entire Wheat crop of Ontario, which amounts to a yearly financial loss of $640,000. Farmers ! save this annual loss with little or no extra work by treating every bushel of your seed grain for Smut. Mix one pint of Formalin (40% Formaldehyde) with forty gallons of water. Sprinkle the Formalin solution over the Grain, which should be spread out on a clean floor. Shovel and sprinkle until every grain is moistened by the solution; then cover the pile with sacking nnd leave for four or five hours. At the end of that time spread out thinly to dry. Wash with strong Formalin solution the Seeder, Bags, etc., which would come in contact with the Seed. One gallon of Formalin solution is sufficient to sprinkle about one bushel of Grain. \ A PRETTY WEDDING.
