Live Stock Sale The recent annual sale of pure-bred. live stock at O. A. C. attracted many buyers from all parts of the province. Many choice specimen of beef. dairy and fat cattle were readily sold and brought good prices. An outstanding lot of swine. including Yorkshires. Berkshires. and Tamworths, was dis- tributed. The top price in the cattle sale was $260 paid for a six-year-old cow. Total receipts were 37.759. This sale has become an institution, with a truly educating influence. By the dis- tribution of these high-class animals throughout the province. desirable im- provement in Ontario-bred live stock will be eiiected. ann to Barley From reports of agricultural repre- sentatives during the past two weeks. it appears that there will be a decided talling of! in the area of fall wheat to be harvested next year.

A. C. No. 21. There is a moral in this little story: In the spring of 1929, William A. Pullman, a Welsh miner, landed in Canada with his wife and family of nine children. They had no money and no prospects of work. The immi- gration agent got in touch with Mr. Elon Weir. 3 Norfolk farmer. The lat- ter furnished them with a tenant house. hired the head of the family, and found positions on neighboring terms for tour of the older boys and two of the girls. All have made good. In the course of a year Mr. Pullman expects to take up his own farm and with the assist-g anceofhisboysheshouldbeoome s 6;: “every person who by hlinself or session intended for sale any vegetables for which grades are provided by these regulationspacked inbaskets. bags, closed barrels closed crates or in bulk, shall mark the initials of his Christian names and his inll surname and ad- dressorinthecaseofanrmorcor- poration, the arm or corporate name andaddressandthegradeoftheveg- etables, also the weight, in a plain and indelible manner.

Exceptions to this rule are veget- ables with the top leaves attached or green vegetables and potatoes oflered in closed barrels.” Fixhinx the Corn Borer According to Prof. Caesar, who has directed the war against the European corn borer in Ontario, a considerable improvement has been shown in the borer-infested counties during the past year, and although one or two counties in Western Ontario still have a serious infestation and the Iarmer’s unremit- ting vigilance will admit no relaxa- tion, the alarming aspects have been vastly mitigated. The work of the county inspectors during the past two years and the increased co-operation of farmers generally have played a prominent role in the clean-up. Prof. Caesar is now concentrating on a ma- chine that will cult the corn stalks close to the ground and make “plowing under an easy process. Next year he hopes that this machine will find gen- eral use in the corn-growing area. Farmers who desire to learn more about the proper methods of cleaning up their fields and of waging effective war against the borer should obtain from their agricultural representative one or other of the instruction pamphlets which have been issued by Prof. Caesar. BEES IN RELATION (Experimental Farms Note.) The primary object of keeping bees is to secure from them a crOp of honey, but this is not all that may be gained through them. Bees secure their living and a surplus crop of honey for their owner almost entirely from flowers, and because of this fact, they are of equal economic importance to the producers of seed and fruit, as they areto the bee- keeper himself. A crop of fruit cannot be obtained unless the blossoms first become fertilized, and this is accom- plished by transferring pollen from one blossom to another. It has been proved that most of the fruit bearing trees or bushes are either self sterile or incom- thc FRUIT GROWING patible to their own pollen and that all of them will yield better crops when crossed with pollen from some other variety. It has also been proved that wind plays little or no part in the dis- tribution of fruit pollen, but that in- sects are the most eflective agents for this purpose. Some experimental work done with plums at the Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa showed that when insects were excluded from the trees during the blossoming period, no fruit was obtained, but where honey bees had access to the flowers, a good crop was secured. W‘ild bees are also effective pollinating agents, but their numbers cannot be controlled, a severe winter may reduce their numbers con- siderably, but honey bees wintered over, in colonies and capable of being ,moved from place to place may be disâ€" ;tributed through the orchards as de- sired. It is a common practice in some countries for fruit growers, who are not beekeepers themselves, to hire colonies from some beekeeper during the blooming period, knowing that the presence of bees in their orchards in- creases the possibilities for a better crop of fruit.

From observa- tins at this Farm, it is questionable whether all feeds can be purchased and the feedr still produce pork at a profit. It is profitable, however, to feed a rea- sonable number, such as will consume the rough feed available and also home 3 grown grains, such as oats and barley.

A supply of green feed in some form is essential to profitable gains. This may be in the form of cull apples, potatoes, turnips or mangels.
