Canadian hay has secured for itself a high reputation during the past three years, and reports indicate that among particular custom- ers it is preferred to anything grown in Great Britain. This is another case in which quality assured by government grading means much to the Canadian farmer. The increase in popularity of Cana- dian graded hay in the Overseas mar- ket, coupled with an acute shortage in the United States, is the basis for the forecast by the seed branch of the Dominion Department of Agriculture of an increase in hay exports at advantag AA-‘-. “â€"3--â€" } Recently a fertilizer field meeting , was held on E. C. Whiteslde’s farm near Alliston, where an extensive test is be- ing carried out on a field of 42 acres of gpotatoes. In spite of a busy time for farmers, 175 growers from Simcoe and adjoining counties turned out in the .middle of the afternoon to hear ad- ;dresses delivered by various fertilizer experts. Later the party made a tour of the Alliston potato district. stopping at T. H. Wilson and Sons, where demonstrations in spraying and‘ dusting were given. To add to the success of the program the Wilson Bros. staged a display of modern potato machinery which they have in use on their own farm. While potatoes are looked upon as a specialized crop around Alliston, the Collingwood district can boast of its production of tomatoes and other can- ning crops. Fertilizer tests on the Smart Bros: farm near Collingwood have so far shown amazing results. Fertilizer tests with potatoes, grain crops, canning crops and pasture are being tried out in South Simcoe under the direction of the Chemistry Depart- ment, 0.A.C., Guelph, and in co-oper- ation with F. A. Lashley, agricultural representative. These experimcnts have shown up extremely well and very interesting results are expected. reported as being more or less a fail- ure throughout Western Ontario. De- creaseintnilkflowwas reported in practically all counties, especially in Western Ontario, due to shortage of pastures. Northern Ontario was en- joying good weather for harvesting and a keen demand for hay was noted.
