“TELLING TOMMY” Mate the Meadows Pay Ontario usually has about four and one-half million acres of hay crOps each year. In passing across the country just before haying one cannot help feeling that many of these acres are not pay- ing the taxes and the cost of handling the cr0p. Statistical reports indicate an average yield of only one and one-half tons to the acre and this can certainly be much improved upon. For the mea- dows. good drainage 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 bacterial lite is either weak- ened or killed. Another point in mead- ow 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 fertilizer makes pro-1 fitable meadows. : lettering Surplus Honey The best time to remove finished supers of comb is in the early alter-y noon when the bees are working well‘ in the fienls. It can easily be done by blowing smoke into the supers at the top to drive most of the bees down. As the cover is filled" the bees above the] cover may be brushed of! with a large, leather irom a turkey s wing. After mo: of the bees have been driven down , the super should be lifted at one end,i and the bees on the bottom brushed of! } quickly before any can return. The su- per can then be carried into a building. and stood on end in front of a window: so that the remaining bees will leave it' and fly to the window. where they make ! their escape. ; A report received by the Ontario Mar- keting Board states that. in an efiort to induce apple growers to prevent the bruising of apples during harvesting and packing, R. 8. Marsh of Illinois College of Agriculture, cites marketing studies which have revealed wide dif- terences in market prices as a result of methods 0! handling fruit in orchards“ In one case he said there was a difler- ence of 65 pér cent between prices re- ceived for apples at the terminal mar- ket in consequence of the method of harvesting and grading.

It Is estimated by federal entomologists that fully 50 per cent of the hides taken of! cattle in 1930 were damaged by this pest and the loss in value to hides a- lone amounted to $700,000. The annual loss throughout Canada from this pest is estimated at from "(to 14 millions. PAGE 6 NEWS AND INFORMATION FOR THE BUSY F ARMER By Pim (Furnished by Provincial and Dominion Departments of Agriculture) ' Killing Couch Grass ‘ Exposure of couch grass roots to the isun for a few days in hot summer is I one of the most effective ways of rid- ! ding the soil of this pest. Under favor fable weather conditions it is possible ' to kill couch grass roots completely by two or three days’ exposure, but with .’ the presence of moisture they will re- 6 tain their vitality for some time. It is ‘ difficult to kill couch grass root under humid “conditions, and plowing under couch sod is of comparatively little use in destroying it. even when plowed as deeply as 15 inches. The spread of the; plant is through the root system and! the only effective way of eliminating ,it is to work the roots up where the sun can get at them and burn or dry the vitality out of them. Weekly Crap Report Recent rains have helped the new seedings of clover, while pastures, ex- cept in Eastern Ontario. are excellent. Harvesting is about completed and threshing has progressed favorably. Yields of wheat and barley are average but oats are quite light. A considerable amout of after harvest cultivation is being done in the tobacco districts of Southern Ontario. A large acreage of second cutting alfalfa was handled in Haidimand. Red clover fields are very prominent in Lambton. A favorable season for grass has meant that poul- try on range has been well SUpplied with green feed and insects so that pullets are well matured. Wellington reports an apparent increase over last year of corn borer infestation. Yields of fell wheat averaged well over thirty bushels to the acre. Tomatoes and corn made splendid growth during August. Rust is prevalent in L'eeds County, par- ticularly on late oatss- " Grasshopper damage is reported in some sections. Any badly infested field should be ploughed under and planted to a hoed or grain cr0p for a sufficient length of time to completely eradicate any accu- mulation of dodder which may have taken place in the soil Where a slight infestation is noticed patches contain- ing dodder can be cut and used fo rfod- der before thefield is ripe. In view of the fact that all clover seed for export must be absolutely free from dodder seed. the only safe procedure for the seed grower is to make sure at the out- set that the seed he sows is absolutely free of clover dodder. The clover dodder is a delicate vine- like plant, which starts with a very fine green shoot, hard to detect, and which attaches itself to the stem of the grow- ing plant, finally breaking awey entire- ly fro mits own root and living on the clover plant. A Serious Clover Menace The mild weather of the last three ‘falls in the Lake Erie counties of On- tario in particular. has resulted in an alarming spread of clover dodder, oth- erwise known as lone vine.This para- sitic plant is one of the most serious menaces to clover because. of the fact that it is almost impossible to separate dodder from clover seed, and where‘ dodder goes to seed in a clover field some spread is inevitable.

The addition of 25 per cent. of timothy to alfalfa seems to im- prove its quality as ensilage, while a mixture of corn and alfalfa produces an excellent ensilage, The Parthians were a very warlike people of ancient times, who flourished about 2.05 8.0. in the area covered by the Persian empire. They were es- pecially celebrated as horse archers. Their tactics became so famous that they passed into a proverb. Their mail- clad horsemen spread into a cloud around the hostile army. poured in a shower of darts and then evaded any closer conflict by a rapid flight, dur- ing which they still shot their arrows backwards upon the enemy. A “Par- thian shot" is a sharp remark to which no opportunity is given to reply. The addition of molasses at the rate of two to four per cent. and crude sugar at the rate of one to two per cent improves the quality of alfalfa ensilage. The addition of salt does not appear to improve the quality of alfalfa ensil- age, while the addition of lime resulted in such a poor quality that the cows did not eat it. Alfalfa cut in full bloom and placed in the silo without cutting produces a rotted material which is not fit for feed. Storing alfalfa in the silo for periods varying from three to nine menths ap- pears to have no adverse effect on its feeding quality. Despite this explanation, modern scholars claim that its origin is-un- known. Undoubtedly it came into our speech from the. French, and the French trace it to the Spanish grim- azo, an extraordinary position in a pic- ture. Dietz drew it from the Anglo- Saxon grima, a mask. a fantom, yet it may come from the Italian grimo, wrinkleâ€"Literary Digest. “Grimace” is a word with which our scholars have loved to play. One of them derived it from grim. Menage claimed for it agrimensor, a land sur- veyor. Thomson looked to the Italian grimmacia, and if this be reliable, then it may come from the Spanish grimio, monkey, in Latin simia, but it should not be forgotten that grimaciers were formerly a company of artists whose duty was to carve the fantastic heads used in architecture, such as are fre- quently to be seen in our gargoyles. and Randle Gotgrave draws attention to this fact. But, in Old Saxon we have grima, a mask, whence hergrima, a war mask including the \izor of a helmet‘ that concealed the warriors face. I in Arabic is Al Nebi which you will admit is pretty close to Allenby, the name of the brilliant strategist who came from the West and who did drive the Turk from Jerusalem!-Charles H. Sherrill, in the American Review of Reviews. In order to realize how completely the terms of the proverb were satisfied you must know that the word prophet The British forces were closely fol- lowed not only by a swiftly laid- rail- way, providing commissariat facilities, but also by a huge pipe line to water that host. That Nile water drawn from a canal in Egypt was filtered at the Kantara water works, and then pumped underneath the Suez canal to reservoirs on the east bank. Here it was chlorin- ated and then, thanks to seventeen auxiliary pumping stations, carried through the pipe over 200 miles of arid desert. An old Arab proverb says that “not until the Nile flows into Palestine shall the prOphet from the West drive the T1111: from Jerusaem.” But that is exactly what tool: place when Allenby’s British army of 96,000 fighting men with 46,000 horses,. 40,000 camels and 13,000 mules fought its way north from the Suez canal. It de- feated and drove out the Turkish army, which opposed every step of the ad- vance. ALLENBY’S GREAT VICTORY 1U STE-TED ARAB rm WORD “GRIMACE” DISPUTE!) PARTHIAN SHOTS THE DURHAM CHRONICLE Our medieval ancestors did not need eye-glasses. There was so little chance of acquiring and using knowledge in the olden days that only a few persons ever learned to read or write. Occupa- tions were of a general nature and did not require the close application of the eyes that modern vocations demand. A real need for visual attention in the world came after the introduction of the printing press. People then be- gan to read and learn to do things for themselves.
