More than the ordinary amount of stook threshing was done this year but the weather was not too favorable for this attempt at labor saving. A considerable amount of after harvest cultivation has been done and some fields of fall wheat have been sown, but generally speaking, farmers are planning to sow their fall wheat some- what later than usual in order to re- duce the likelihood of injury from Hessian Fly. Buckwheat and hoe crops have made good growth during the month and excellent yields have been secured from second cutting of alfalfa, Pastures are in good shape in Western Ontario but under average in Eastern and Northern Ontario. The estimated average yields of spring wheat, oats and barley for the Provinee this year show little varia- tion from the figures for last year. Oats and barley gave rather disap- pointing yields in South-weestern On- tario and slightly higher yields than last year in other districts. Per acre yields of flax and beans show. some decrease over last year while the yield of peas is considerably higher. The preliminary estimates of total pro- duction of dry beans is only 76% of last year's figure, being 902,280 bus. for 1932 as compared with 1,184,172 bus. in 1931 or a decrease of 281,892 bushels. Flaxseed production is esti- mated at 61,740 bushels as compared with 79,6565 bus. a year ago, a decrease of 22%. Production of beans and barley will be greater than last year. Peas are estimated at 1,094,800 bus. against 972,832 bus. in 1931 or an in- crease of 12%, while barley produc- tion is placed at 14,121,300 bus. as compared with 13,407,038 bus. last year, an increase of 5%. The total acreage of field crops sown in Ontario in 1932 is practically the same as last year. The most im- portant changes in individual acreage occurred in barley, buckwheat, fodder corn and alfalfa which showed in- creases and hay and clover, beans and potatoes which show large reductions in acreage. The total production of both beans and potatoes will show considerable decrease from last year for in addition to reduction in acre- age, the per acre yields were lower owing to less favorable growing con- ditions. The acreage of field crops in On- tario as compiled from the June Cen- sus are as follows, with the 1931 acreage in brackets: Fall Wheat 536,300, (525,024); Spring wheat 100,100, (99,183); Oats 2,338,600, (2,330,128); Barley 457,000, (437,588); Fall rye 57,500, (61,701); Flax 6,300, (7,325); Buckwheat 196, 600, (178,719); Peas 59,600, (58,944); Mixed Grains 986,200, (1,012,347) § Corn for husking 130,300, (123,960); Beans 61,800, (76,312); Fodder Corn 285,300, (264,286); Rape 14,400, (13, 527); Alfalfa 527,800, (431,110); Al- sike 95,100, (97,128); Sweet Clover 818,600, (306,067); Hay and Clover 2,780,300, (2,868,923); Cleared Pas- ture 8,012,500, (3,039,026); Potatoes 156,300, (168,158); Turnips 66,000, (68,323); Mangels 31,800, (32,399); Sugar -Beets 83,300, (35,258); Carrots 2,200, (3,179); Tobacco 45,600, (47, 360); Summer Fallow 221,700, (221; 174); Soy Beans 7,800, (not esti- mated.) ¥ sinners. growing High tempers- | tures produce weak stalks of poor colour, and exhaust the roots Tindly, When the plants are brought inside | they are set on the ground and covered with moist sand. Water must be applied frequently to keep the plants from wilting. No manure or fertilizer is necessary as the plants have sufficient nourishment stored up in the roots to produce the crop. The|a first stalks are ready for pulling about four weeks after being started. To insure a constant supply bring in a new lot of roots every two weeks. Plants forced in this way may be divided in the spring and planted out, but require two or three years to recover sufficient strength to be again forced, ---- Pr TURKEY BECOMES A MEMBER OF THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS.

Forcing, rhubarb, for sale or home use, may be considered a profitable undertaking. There is a good demand for this product from late fall until early spring, at remunerative prices: For this purpose it is important that a good supply of roots of some vigorous variety be available. A cheap method of producing roots for this work is by growing the plants from seed. At the Experimental Station, Charlottetown, it was found that many of the plants raised in this way were ready for forcing at the end of the d year, main on the ground until the soil ad- help keep its institutions and people } Just before winter sets in, lift the roots required and allow them to re-| In its letter accepting the As- ! sembly's invitation to become a Mem- ber, the Turkish Government declared that the treaties it had concluded, in- ' cluding those with non-Member States, were in no way incompatible with the duties of a Member of the League, and were indeed signed in the spirit of the Paris Pact, to which the majority of Members of the League were also. parties. The Turkish Re- public was in a special position as a consequence of the military obliga- tions assumed under the Lausanne Convention of 1982, and the Govern- ment therefore recalled the following passage in the exchange of notes be- tween certain Members of the League and the German Government on the occasion of the Locarno settlement and Germany's application for Mem- bership of the League: FALL WHEAT TESTS, 1982 During the past year seven for. tilizers were compared with unfer- tilized areas on wheat in forty-three] his fall wheat sections. The fertilizer, was applied at the Tae of as pounds; above check or mo fertilizer was 1 bushels per acre. The average gain| in yield for three years was 10.3 bushels per acre. Yields varied con- siderably on different soils with dif- ferent fertilizers. As a rule the re- lative response to fertilizers was re- markably uniform.' Averages do not give a true picture at all times but they do indicate the trend of response, and after all, this is what the practical farmer wishes to know. The average yield per acre of 1932 stood as follows: No fertilizer, 28.6 bus.; 2-16-6, 40.8 bus.; 0-12-15, 40.6 bus.; 8-10-5, 37.9 bus.; 0-12-15, 36.9 bus.; 2-12-6; 86.6; 16% superphos- phate,, 34.5. The highest yield for com- plete fertilizer was made on the farm of Alex. M. Stewart, Ailsa Craig, where 2-12-6 yielded 52 bushels per acre against no fertilizer yielding The highest phosphate- 80.6 bushels. potash yield was 48.3 bushels from 0-12-15 on the farm of E. Mont- gomery, R.R.8 Dresden. His unfer- tilized crop yielded 39.3 bushels. The great value of fertilizer on fall is that it not only gives wheat strength and vigor to the crop to The Peoples' Meat Market We sell everything you want in choice, clean, palatable, nutritious and satisfying meats.

The Myrtle Softball team lost to Whitby at Myrtle, on Sept. 6th, and thereby lost the championship of the South Ontario Sunday School League. The score was 12-21. Whitby now is the new championship team and Myrtle congratulated them on their victory. The game was a poor ex- hibition for the final game. The weather was not very good. It rained during part of the game which made the ball hard to handle which accounts for the large score. Whitby had Neal pitching for them and he was not much of a puzzle to the Myrtle boys. Myrtle getting on bases 28 times. The trouble with Myrtle was that they had 16 left on bases. Whitby got to first 26 times but only had 5 left ons bases. Ted Heron and Johnnie Miller pitched for Myrtle and they didn't do as well as usual. The Whitby team hit them quite freely. The Whitby team is a well balanced team and de- served to win on their playing. Myrtle did remarkably well this year and also deserves credit for their showing. The Myrtle fans have been very loyal to the team and no doubt that inspired the boys to do there best. The boys will now hang up their bats and look forward to another year when we hope they will be able to bring in the championship.
