Treating Seed Potatoes Naturally. the aim of the potato grower is to produce the biggest and bat crop at the lowest possible cost. This is dependent upon the number of actors such as good soil. quality of seed, spraying and cultivation. While the importance of these features is un- questioned. very often the prospect of a good crop is ruined through neglect to metise seed treatment which is aimed to reduce the enormous losses and in- If you have applied any fertilizer to your lands this spring, much can be learned by watching their eflect an connection with the crops (to-opera- tion aid Meta Brunch of the On- tnrio Deputment of Agriculture have resulted in the minister of Agriculture appointing an assistant mm to this hunch, A.

VOLLETT few age and sweet soil are very important. Roots of grasses and clovers are slow to penetrate wet soils and wherever there is a surplus of water on the soil. air is shut out and hence the becterial life is either weakened or killed. An- other point in meadow improvement is the use of high quality seed. If poor seed is used the meadow starts out with a handicap. Good drainage, good seed, and a liberal supply of suitable fertil- izer make profitable meadows. Northern Ontario Leads Returns to the Provincial Apiarist indicate that the northern parts of Ontario give the highest yields of honey. For 1928 the average per col- ony was 160 pounds in Kenora, 137 in Bruce and Renfrew, 116 in Northum- berland and 109 in Algoma. One south- ern county, Elgin, has the high average of 143 pounds while the adjoinong counties. Kent and Norfolk have 88 and 80 pounds respectively. In total quantity, Bruce, Grey. Simcoe and York take the lead. partly due to their large area but also due to the fact that clover and alsike are grown abundantly. The honey crop for the province for the season of 1928 was 13,859,969 pounds. three-fourths of which was classed white. The estimat- ed value was over a million dollars. The first cr0p report for the month of June shows that despite frosts in many parts of the province which cau- sed considerable damage, the crops are coming along in fine style.

Established four years ago by the Ontario Government, in co-operation with local school au- thorities, it has become increasingly p0pular with the rural youth of Kent, having an enrolment of 73 pupils dur- ing the past term. Operated in con- junction with the Ridgetown high school, the students receive a thorough academic training and in addition a complete course in such practical sub- jects as farm mechanics, wood-work- ing. agricultural engineering and motor mechanics, and instruction in livestock judging, field crops and horticulture. Biology and chemistry are two import ant subjects on the curriculum. At the garry, Duflerin. Dundas and Durham all report fall wheat, clover, alfalfa and hay mom in excellent condition.

The first point which is being stres- sed, while perhaps of the lesser nation- al importance. is that Mr. King has never secured a majority of the votes of the Canadian electorate. Twice the popular vote has been entirely out of preportion to the number of members as between the two older parties. Conservatives have had the larger vote and but a fraction of the house repre- sentation. But the major charge is that Mr. King, through his Quebec affiliations, has eflectively set that province against the rest oi Canada. Quebec is fundamentally, of all pro- vinces. welded to Conservative doctrine. Yet trafficking in the great 1914-18 tragedy the Liberal party in 1921 brought a solid 65 seats out of Quebec. In 1925 the Liberal. party took. 61 out of 65 seats from that province. the only four seats to go to the opposition being overwhelmingly English-speak- ing. The same result followed in 1926. throughout the country the political craftinees oi Mackenzie King in hold- ingtheliberalpartyinpowersince 1921 is coming under close scrutiny. The issue is made by Liberal speak- ers that he was elected leader in 1919 and has carried the party sucwesfully through three elections.

VALUE OF GREEN FEED (Experimental Farms Note) That green feed has a distinct value in the economical feeding of bacon hogs is apparent from experiments conducted at the Dominion Experi- mental Farm, Nappan, Nova Scotia. Over a period of four years. six ex- periments have been conducted to de- termine the vaue, (if any), of green feed was supplied, namely, in 1923, when the lot receiving green feed showed an average feed cost per pound of 6.68 cents versus 6.58 cents for the check pen. The average of the six ex- periments showed that lot 1, consisting of thirty-seven hogs that were fed gren feed, made an average gain of 158.2 pounds in 135 days. The average feed cost per pound gain was 7.71 cents. Thirty-six hogs in lot 2 that received the same rations, without green feed. made an average gain of 148.2 pounds in 134. days and the cost per pound gain was 8.42 cents. Lot 1 consumer an av- erage of 131 pounds or green feed and made an average gain of 10 pounds more than did lot 2. Assuming that this increase in gain is due to the influ- ence of the green feed added. to the ration. it would give the green feed a value of $18.32 per ton with pork selling at 12 cents per pound live weight. During the winter of 1925-26 an ex- periment was conducted to determine the value of small potatoes as a green feed during the winter months. Seven hogs. fed an average of 220 pounds of potatoes each over a period of 140 days, made an average gain of 154.8 pounds, costing 7.81 cents per pound. Six hogs not receiving green feed of any sort averaged 136.8 pounds gain during the same period, costing 8.58 cents per pound gain. The value of the potatoes in this test, computed on the same basis as above, would be $19.64 per ton This achievement, they contend. is Mr. King's major contribution either as a leader or as a statesman to public life.
