In connection with the 1932 World's Grain Conference a junior grain judg- hc competition will be held according to e recent announcement. Many en- miries have been received recently by average yield was 190.6 as compared with 162.1 where no fertilizer was used, and a net gain of 818.34 per acre was recorded. The experiments will be reâ€" peated next year. in test with fertilizers of varying d vrying analyses on the potato crop. In the experiments two sets of plots tare used. On the first set. the fertil- hls were applied at the rate of 1.000 wands per acre and on the second set at the rate of 500 pounds. In each set me plot was left without fertilizer for omparison. In these tests and on this flnl, a 2-12-6 fertilizer seems to give mterially better results than any “her. Where fertilizers were applied at 1,000 pounds per acre. the average ybld of potatoes was 241.5 bushels qtinst an average where no fertilizer was applied of l62.1 bushels. This fig- .ed out at a net gain of $56.90 for the cop. Where fertilizers were applied at the rate of 500 pounds to the acre. the During the past summer the Depart- ment of Chemistry, O.A.C., 1n co-oper- “ion with the Boys' mining School at lowmanvule, has conducted an exten- dance of rain.

Ottawa. lis a most important one. The potato ttuber is a living unit and requires pure air for respiration. This was demon- strated at the Charlottetown Experi- mental Station by putting potatoes in a glass preserve jar and sealing it for a few weeks. When the potatoes had used up the air in the jar they died and the vile odor that escaped when the jar was opened would convince anyone that potatoes must have air to live. The essential requirements for good ventilation in the cellar are to provide sufficient intakes for pure dry air, to maintain temperatures ranging from 38 degrees to 40 degrees F. ii possible,i and to provide outlets large enough to carry oi! surplus heat and impure air. Potatoes also require storage in the. ,dark. Provision should be made for 'cooling potatoes and roots rapidly when first stred by means of other than the regular ventilators. For this purpose the doors and hatches may be left open at night during the early autumn. Suated ventilator shafts should extend along the floor of the cellar and up through the roots to an outlet. For potatoes double slated partitions bet- ween ten foot bins provide satisfactory ventilation if outlets are large enough. The ventilators should be fitted with hinged doors so that the openings can be reduced or closed when the weather becomes severe. A great many potatoes and roots will be stored this autumn. The question of {ventilation -for bins and storage cellars All bruised fruit, or scabby fruit, should be discarded and only perfectly sound specimens utilized. If these are wrapped in oiled tissue or in ordinary tissue paper, keeping is greatly facili- tated. Storing in bushel boxes is pre- ferable to large containers and these should be kept in a cellar where the temperature does not go much above 40 degrees R. and does not fall below freezing. The average cement cellar, with a heating plant. is not satisfac- tory for apple storage. The best type of cellar is an ordinary dirt floor cellar without any artificial heat. In such a cellar both temperature and moisture conditions are generally satis- factory for good keeping. In the event of a cement cellar being the only avail- able place. it would be wise to cover the floor with several inches of saw- dust, which shauld be kept well damp- ened down to provide the necessary humidity. Such a procedure, accom- panied by wrapping and a temperature of from 40 degrees to 45 degrees F., should result in satisfactory storage conditions. that later keepin'g {tax-ten», like in}; Intosh, Northern Spy, Russet and Bald- win, 3110qu tie sglegted for this purpose. winter months shbuld be carefully sell ected for that purpose.
