PAGE 6 “The anxiety of these growers to be the first on the market with their pro- ducts," said Mr. Broughton, “is no doubt, prompted by a desire to obtain tap price. It should be remembered. however. that immaturity means low quality. and low quality is detrimental to the progress of all classes of growers, including those who have never been guilty of attempting to market imma- ture fruit. “By marketing fruit which has not reached the prOper stage of maturity, the grower is creating dissatisfied cus- tomers. and these customers will be- come prejudiced against home-grown products. thus causing a restricted market."

I Lambs Die Needlessly i “Many young lambs die needlessly,” l declares Dr. Lionel Stevenson. provin- cial zoologist, in an appeal to farmers to stOp the tragic loss of so many lambs l before they are ten days old. In a little lbooklet issued by the Provincial Live 'Stoclt Branch, he states three main causes of death: Joint 111 of Lambs. White Scour oi Lambs, and Necrobacil- 2 losis of Lambs. Dr. Stevenson outlines ? the cause, the symptoms and the prop- ‘ er treatment of these three diseases. In "conclusion he declares: “It pays to 3 maintain a high degree of sanitation, 3 when the loss of one lamb represents a sum of money equal to the additional {labor required to maintain hygienic conditions. Dead lambs have no value. Keep them alive that they may grow into money. Clean up today." Community Beautification At a recent meeting of societies of District No. 2 of the Ontario Horti- cultural Association at the Central Ex- perimental Farm, Ottawa, reports re- ceived showed in a fine way the high degree of efficiency which has been attained in carrying out the principal object and purpose of the Association in respect to community beautification. The report of the district Director, J. B. Spencer, B.S.A., shows that effective work has been done in this respect by the following societies in the dis- trict: Ontario Amprior. North Gower, Billings Bridge, Pembroke. Gananoque, Kars, Almonte, Brockville, Fitzroy Township. Spencerville and Huntley Township. At a recent meeting of the Ontario Ruzabaga Shippers’ Association held at the Agricultural College, Guelph, a l'Ec'ClllthIl was adopted asking the Federal Department of Agriculture to make effective the inspection of all tur- nips for domestic and export ship- ment, according to G. R. Patterson, On- tario Marketing Board. It was felt by the shippers that this was one method of establishing uniformity of pack, and quality. In addition to this movement to- wards inspection, the shippers’ associa- tion is giving some thought to central Ontario has an extensive market for rutabagas in the United States, but this valuable outlet has been partially blocked, due to the fact that the Marl- time growers have adopted the prac- tice of inspection through warehouses. grading and packing. The work accomplished by these so- cieties emphasizes in a fine way the value of individual units giving effec- tive support to the More Beautiful Canada compaign sponsored by the Canadian Horticultural Council. Federal Government estimates indi- cate that potato acreage in Ontario this season will show a decrease of ap- proximately seven per cent. over that of the 1931 season. These estimates set the 1931 acreage in Ontario at 169.- 604 as against a probable acreage of 158.000 this year. Figures for the Do- minion of Canada show a like decrease of 7 per cent., being 583,926 acres in 1931, as compared with 543,700 acres for 1932. While the season of 1931-32 was an excellent one for the production of both early and late potatoes, the future presents quite a different aspect, ac- cording to J. T. Cassin, Ontario Mar- keting Board. Mr. Cassin also stated that, accord- ing to his calculations, the amount of fertilizer used in the production of po- tatoes this year will amount to only about half of that used last year. "While we have had very favorable conditions to date,” he continued, “the crap outlook at this time does not pre- sent the same promise of yield as did that of the same period in 1931.” In conclusion Mr. Cassin said, “It is too early to predict the extent of the 1932 crop but, in view of present con- ditions, it would appear that potatoes are being oflered in quantities larger than the market can readily absorb.

Thomas L. Kennedy passes the information that the National Breweries Ltd. of Montreal have authorized the purchase by the Canadian Malting Co. of 1.000,- 000 bushels of high-grade, Ontario- grown barley, suitable for maiting, at a minimum of 55 cents per bushel basis. track Montreal. The Minister warns that this barley must be sound, clean and reasonably free from other grains and weighing 48 pounds to the bushel. This is the equivalent of grain known as “Three Extra" and should be easily obtained by the average Ontario farm- er. Several Ontario counties have long regarded barley as a fine cash crop and it is hoped that this an- nouncement will give them new confi- dence and will stimulate production. “A price of 55 cents basis, track Mon- treal, would mean f.o.b. prices approxi- mately as follows: Main line Chatham and surrounding points, 40 cents; 0% lines or side lines or radial lines in same territory, 37 cents; Central 011- tario points; say from London to the Lake Simcoe district, 42 cents; east of that and on to Montreal, 46 cents. These would represent the approximate f.o.b. prices paid to shippers and in the case of barley, the farmer would, in many cases, be the shipper. These prices would apply only to carlot ship- ments. This offer is considerably bet- ter than present-day prices on the Montreal market. EXPERIMENTAL FARMS In addition to the usual educational exhibit staged by the Dominion Ex- perimental Farms at the Canadian National Exhibition this year, a huge diorama is being installed on which will be shown the location of the 26 Branch Experimental Farms and the various industries of the Dominion. Agriculture, of course. predominates. The wheat fields of the West are shown, mixed farming and the dairy industry in the East are clearly por- trayed. while the industries such as lumbering, mining. fishing, waterpower, tourist traffic, transportation, etc., are all illustrated and each city in Canada is realistically shown in cut out relief. Platforms will automatically rise from invisibe Openings in the picture on which will be displayed some of the originations of the Dominion Exper- mental Farms which means millions of dollars to the farmers of Canada each year. Such visible contributions will be ex- hibited as Marquis, Reward, Garnet, Huron and Ruby wheats, from the Cer- eal Division; Melba apple, early tomat- oes, Banting corn, Ruby rhubarb, a new egg plant, from the Horticultural Di- vision; certification of seed potatoes and raspberry stock from the Botan- ical Division; registered pedigree poul- try breeding stock from the Poultry Divcision; an improved clover from the Forage CrOp Division, etc. This diorrna will be located in the Upper West Annex of the Coliseum and will illustrate in a graphic way the services being rendered by the Domin- ion'Experimental Farms to agriculture and the assistance being given to the deveIOpment of the many resources of Canada. Under normal conditions it takes 57-2 eggs to pay for the cost of feed for a pullet during the pullet year, figures supplied by the Dominion Experimen- tal Station at Lennoxville. Que., show. As this figure is arrived at from an av- erage of twelve years’ results it is of more than ordinary interest. The num- ber of eggs required to pay the cost of feed per bird varies, of course, with pre- vailing market prices from year to year. During the period of the re- port it has ranged from as low as 50 eggs in 1922, to a peak of 69 in 1928, while it took 51 to pay the feed cost in 1931. It is also interesting to note that he same cost study shows that an average of 15 eggs is suflicient to pay the cost of feed per bird during the winter months only.

HEN-HOUSE MATHEMATICS Market for Barley THE DURHAM CHRONICLE EXHIBIT AT C. N. E. New Zealand and Australia may yet become strong competitors with Can- ada in the bacon trade. During the past few years those countries have been sending forward to the Motherland in- creasing quantities of pork. Various methods of preserving the meat have been tried but the only successful one seems to be that of freezing, which, ac- cording to a recent Report of the Em- pire Marketing Board, does not injure the product for the making of bacon. Attempts have been made to send over mild cured bacon in the green condition. This, however, according to the report, has proven unsatisfactory unless transported in the frozen con- dition about 14 degrees F. Even at this low temperature spoilage occurred by the fat developing a rancid condition even when the storage lasted only six weeks. This, it is explained, is due to the fact that the fat of bacon contin- ues to take up oxygen even when. fro- In the experimental shipments that were made it was found that the fat of smoked bacon keeps better than un- smoked, but rancidity develops even in smoked bacon after it has been stored for nine weeks at 14 degrees F'. The conclusion has therefore been reached and is recorded by the Empire Market- ing Board that the transport of mild cured green bacon in frozen condition from Australia and New Zealand can- not be carried out satisfactorily by or- dinary commercial methods.
