As a live stock product. there is no- thing to be said in favor of the buclr. lamb. The marketing of uncastrated male lambs during the late summer. fall and winter was for many years a blot on our sheep industry and a ser- ious hindrance to the development of the consumption of lamb. The practice has been largely wiped out in Ontario by the action of lamb buyers in dis- counting the price of all bucks coming to market during the fall. and winter. Farmers have now generally adOpted the practice of castrating male lambr; intended to: market. until April.

Thm E. Wilson. a London Old Boy,andnowaleaderinthepackins industry in Chicago, has given three annual scholarships, available at tho 0. A. C.. to students of the three Lon- don Collegiate institutes.

His generous gift Buck Lamb Not in Favor New Orchard Pest A Big Investment result of a recent Clay and sandy loam soils at the Central Experimental Farm at Ottawa. which were ploughed to a depth of 4 inches have given just as good yields of corn after corn as when they were ploughed 7 inches deep. The yields of corn and oats on the same soils which were ploughed with furrows 16 inches: wide were practically as high as where the sod. and corn stubble had been ploughed with furrows: 5 inches wide. These are the results of six years 01' experimental work on the clay. and seven years on the sandy loam soil. In all of these trials. of course. the ploughing was well done and. good. seed-- beds were prepared before sowing. While perhaps in some rare cases there may be soils to which the results of these ploughing experiments may not apply, on most farms of Eastern Canada very deep ploughing and the use of ploughs which turn narrow furrows will not. give any more crap As ploughing is the most expensive of all cultural operations required in preparing land for the sowing of crops. lower costs per bushel and per ton will be accomplished by paying attention to every possible means of reducing the time spent on this farm operation. It takes less time and ener- gy to plough land shallow than it does to plough it deep. It takes consider- ably less time to plough a field with 'wide furrows than it does to plough it , with narrow ones. bgr aére than mor'e shalldw ploughing and the use of ploughs which turn wide furrows. NO INCREASE IN YIELD FROM DEEP NARROW PLOUGHINC- By selecting the best laying hens of the flock. and mating them with males of the best layers were set apart for the production of hatching eggs and were mated with the sons of‘ heavy laygng It was: found. that each pig consumed 567 pounds of meal and. 97 pounds of milk. from weaning time until finished. at which time they weighed an average of 172 pounds. each. The average cost of raising these pigs: to time of weaning was $5.04 each. This plus the value of the meal consumed at. the average market price and. the skim- milk at 50 cents per 100 pounds makes the total cost of each pig to finish- ing time. $18.05 or $10.51 per 100 pounds: live weight. No charge has been made for labor or buldings. Many farmers. give a good deal of thought endeavoring to make their farming operations more profitable. One of the best means of accomplish- ing this: is by making a detailed study of the actual cost of producing the various. farm products since the profit may be considered. av. that whichis left after the cost r.. prefucticn has; iron deducted from {The market value.

His observations led him to believe that there are un- paralleled opportunities for Canadian manufacturers in India, China, Brazil, New Zealand, the Hawaiian Islands. and other countries in the east. While he commended the efforts of the Canadian trade commissioners in foreign countries, Mr. Robson said that he did not believe their number was suffiCienc. The value of research carried on by such a board would be of inestimable value, Mr. Robson commented, and as an illustration, be detailed the progress made by the investigating committee of the Empire board. Already 2,500,000 had been raised by the Empire board for analysis of trade conditions and for advertising, by poster and radio, Empire products, he said. Creation of a Canadian marketing board to act in close relation with the Empire marketing board was suggest- ed as a practical means of extending Canadian export trade by F. L. Robson, London, England, at a luncheon of the Canadian Export Trade club of Toronto in the King Edward Hotel.
