CENTRAL BUSINESS COLLEGE Stratford and Mount Forest LOST OR FOUND FOR Mitf (Contributed by Ontarlo Department o! Agriculture. Toronto.) The effect yhich the various held crops have on the physical and chem- ical properties or the soil is very dit- terent. An undertsanding o! the peculiarities ot the common farm crops and soils is very necessary to the man on the land in order that he understand and realize the ad- vantages in rotating the grain, grass 1 and cultivated crops. i Crops Vary Greatly .. in Root System. I in considering the common crops with regard to their growth, elect on physical texture of the soils and the supply of available plant food in the soil, we must give attention to the following groups of cropszâ€"(l) Deep rooted crops; (2) Shallow root- ed crops; (3) Gross feeding crops; (4‘) Delicate feeding crops; (5) Ni- trogen-gathering crops; (6) Humus producing crops; (7) Humus- de- stroying crops. Shallow and deep rooted crops are best illustrated by comparing the root systems of Wheat and alfalt‘a. Wheat as a shallow rooted plant exerts an entirely differ- ent influence on the physical condi- tion of the soil than does the alfalfa plant with its heavy deep reaching roots. Continuous cropping with wheat, barley or oats on a field will develop a hard pan condition just be- neath the furrow slice. Such will prevent the absorption and storage of moisture necessary for full crop production. In contrast to the ‘shal- low-surface soil condition we can place the effect on the soil or the deep rooted plants, such as alfalfa, red clover and sweet clover, and see the open porous moisture and air- admitting condition of the subsoil made by these tap rooted plants. Gross vs. Delicate Feeding Plants. Gross and delicate feeding crops can be illustrated by comparing corn with barley or oats. The corn plant by means of its strong' root system can thrive under more severe condi- tions than can the barley or oat plants with their slender root aya- tems. The strong root system of the corn plant can prepare its own plant food -to a. grea'terâ€" extent man the weaker types of crop planps, _hegce we see corn, potatoes and similar plants flourishing where shallow, del- icate feeding grains do not do very well. The gross feeding plants will leave the soil in better physical con- dition than the delicate teedin; types. and for that reason should precede them in the rotation. Gross feeding means a big, strong, vigor- ous root system, which can only be appreciated by examining the entire root of the plant. There is as much of the growing plant ‘beneath the sur- face of the soil as there is above, but since it is more dificult to see that part below the surface we do not realise the extent of the humus mak- in; vegetable matter that is out of sight and plays such a big part in keeping the soil in good physicai con- dition. The Nitrogen-Gubering Crops. Nitrogen-gathering crops are gen- erally best known as the clovers, peas and beans. All such are very valu- able since they add to the stock of soil nitrogen, and make possible the accumulation of nitrogen salts. Ni- trogen existing as a free gas in the atmosphere over each acre of land is available to the legume bacteria that have the ability to assimilate it. The bacteria which are parasitic on the legume plant roots live in great colonies assimilating nitrogen for their own development, and at the same time supplying this very essen- tial element to the growing plant. The legume or nitrogen-gathering crops have a double value as soil 1 - provers in that they supply hum and are also nitrogen-gatherers. For these two very good reasons the farm rotation should favor legume crops. The Importance of Humus. Organic matter during its process at decay in the soil is called humus. Every tarm boy that has handled a plow knows the ease with which the plow can be handled in soils contain- ing a large amount of decayed vege- tation in contrast with the hard soils of hilltops where the organic matter has been washed away. Humus is very valuable because its presence determines the moisture supply and the ease with which the soil may be cultivated. All plants are humus producers. but not to the same ex- tent, the most valuable being the legumes: Red clover, sweet clover, alfalfa, vetches, pease and soy beans. These legume crops are known as humus producers in contrast to corn, wheat, oats, potatoes, which are known as humus destroyers. Why grow humus destroying crops to the extent that we do when Providence thas given us so abundantly the llegumesâ€"legumes that will improve the physical conditions and increase the plant food supply.â€"L.

During the past three and 'a half months, owing to the outbreak of the foot and mouth disease, there has been no fewer than 32,000 cattle, 15,â€" 000 sheep and 17,500 hogs slaughtered and burnt. This has seriously afâ€"‘ fected the sale of Canadian cattle in Great Britain for the time being. No cure seems to have been discovered but there isa movement started now ‘which has as its object the preven- tion 0f needless slaughter.

A Million Union Hens. Under this heading an article ap- pared in the Country Gentleman under date of August, 1923. It is a summary of results of the Washing- ion (10- opeiatiVe Egg and Poultry Association, Seattle. Here are the points briefly given lll that article : l. The Association started in 1917. 2. Every member signed :1 five- year contract to supply all his eggs to the Association. 3. At the end of the fifth year when all the contracts expiredâ€"that was, in 1922â€"they all signed again for another five years, with many more new members. No canvassing was done. The members renewed their contract on their own initia- tive. 4. Members now number 2.300. They have over 1,000,000 hens. 5. When the fiveâ€"year contract exâ€" pired in December, 1922, it was de- cided that eggs would not. be acceptâ€" ed unless a second agreement was signed for five years. The first week after, 487 cases more than the week before were handled. 6. Last year the Association paid $2,229,319.58 for 7,988,517 dozen eggs, returning an average of 27.9 cents per dozen for all grades ot eggs Problems of . - the Farm 7. There. are eight grades of eggs which ranged from 32 cents for ex- tras down to 18 cents for small, crarkod eggs. This is the average. for the whole year. 8. This Association has gx'nwil from 153 members with a capital stock of $2,000.00 to one of 2,300 members with a capital stock of SSOODOODO, owned entirely by the poultry raism's. 9. This business has "rown out of the results Obtained in 1917â€"1116: first year in pooling 7.000 cases of eggs. Here are a fmx' statements made h} tlxv manag er: "There is no way to determine. the amount our organization betters prices to the producer's. \Ve handled 80 per cent. of the carlot shipments of eggs out of Washington tact year, or about 55 to 60 percent of the total production. All these went {om ard graded, of course.” “Grading is the prOp on which rest organizations like this. The more eggs‘graded for sale, the more will be consumed. There is nothing that holds down consumption like getting a ‘store’ taste when ordering up for breakfast two in the watex three minutes. After getting the stale ones you and I and the others eat an extra buckwheat cake or two the next morning. We are ‘off’ eggs for a time. Grading may drive the careless producer out of business, but the real fellows will go on all the stronger.” “Our biggest market is New York. Jersey City. Detroit, Scranton and New Haven are other markets we reach, and in the West. also, the Washington Co-operative Brand is well distributed. A man reported seeing our trade mark at many points in Alaska. An important 10â€" cal market is the steamships. This was a dumping ground for the egg trade and. Iinallv tiring of this con- ditiOn. the company buyers stalled taking our graded stufi‘. 1%“ wet [havec half of the boat business out of Seattle. We have three city sales- men deve10ping the local market in Seattle and one in Tacoma, but we are not pushing this heavily, as we get a half to three quarters of a cent more from our Eastern shipments as a rule.” contribute} by Grey County Department of Agriculture The results are clearly shown. The Short Courses. w... My producers are winning, the consum- ers receive the quality of eggs they buy at a fair uniform price. There- fore, the control of the egg business is in the hands of the producers and consumers. In spite of all this success the manager also states: “The Wash- ington Poultrymen’s Co-operative, like so . many others. received its share of villification from the first, they informed me. Even now, well into the sixth year of coâ€"Operation, doubtless you hear tales of its lack of function. Why there should be dissatisfaction is more than should be answered. A lack of vision is largely reSponsible. (loâ€"operative marketing is the only solution.” - IFnIess {he Ontario producers start work of this nature, the poultry m- dustl‘y will languish. ' NOTABLE RECORD OF ROYAL BANK (Financial Times.) The great strides made by The Royal Bank of Canada during its past fiscal year are sure to attract speâ€" cial attention. not only across the Dominion. but. more particularly in all the important banking centres of the world. W'ith its chain of. close to seven hundred branches.‘ and probably due in great measure to the important connections it. has gardually established throughout the. world. the Royal has drawn to itself a degree of confidence which must ;have contributed to a very large ex- itent to the notable progress made “under the conditions which have 'DI'PthilOd. This is cslmcially reâ€" ‘flected in a gain ofas much as fifty imillions in deposits. Just as this has been advantageous to the Bank, so it will be of benefit to the country as a whole. The past year has witnessed a number of un- expected developments in the bank- ing world and it is well for the Do- minion that one of its leading Bank- ing institutions can report marked progress, as well as a position of such unusual strength. To the management it should be a source of great. satisfaction to real- ize the confidence that is everywhere being placed in the Bank. No. 9, Glenelg. I\7.-l\l. Hargrave, A. Arnett, R. McFadden, J.
