Ontario Seed Prospects According to A. H. Martin, Assist- ant Director. CrOps Branch. Ontario Department of Agriculture, due to cool showery weather in the early part of July. the alfalfa seed crop in Western Ontario is almost a failure. Eastern Ontario, although never considered an alfalfa seed centre, will probably har- vest the largest alfalfa seed crOp ever taken from this area. The total prod- uction in this area, however, will be comparatively small. (tom the high price 0! timothy seed last year in comparison with legume seeds and also to the fact it is neces- sary to import abOu-t 50 per cent. of the seed used in Ontario. A considerable increase is expected in timothy seed. This is to be expected Alsike production is also below nor- mal. The earlier threshed fields yield- ed from 2-3 bushels per acre but lat- er reports show some fields going as high as six bushels per acre. It is likely there will be sufficient alsike to meet Red clover seed production on the other hand is much less than half a crap in Eastern Ontario while in- dications in Western Ontario would point to a fair yield of clover seed. Prices for all seeds are likely to be higher thh year. The price no doubt will be governed to some extent by the amount of seeds held over from the salad making new potatoes are far the best. In addition to their sweet deli- cote flavor which makes them so sp- pettzmg, new potatoes are firm and not too meaiy, and for this reason they can be cut into cubes without danger of breaking down when combined with other ingredients of the salad. Potato salads are easy to prepare, nutritius, economical and a rich source of ener- gy. It. is good at any time.â€"Dornin10n NEW POTATO TEST that for The total acreage of field crops sown in Ontario in 1932 is practically the same as last year. The most import- ant change in individual acreage oc- curred in barley, buckwheat, fodder corn and alfalfa which showed in- creases, and hay clover, beans and po- tatoes which show large reduction in acreage. The total production of both beans and potatoes will show consider- able decrease from last year, for in ad- dition to reduction in acreage, the per acre yields are lower owing to less fav- ourable growing conditions. The fifth depart-mental report of the season on Field Craps gives some 1n- terestmg facts and figures. More than ing was done this year, but the weath- er was not to favourable for this at- tempt at labour-saving. Farmers are planning to sow their fall wheat some- what later than usual in order to re- duce the likelihood of injury from Hes- sian Fly. Buckwheat and hoed (mops have made good growth during the month and excellent yields secured from second cutting of alfalfa. The estimated average yields of spring wheat, oats and barley for On- tario this year show little variation from the figures for 1932. Oats and barley gave rather disappointing yields in Southwestern Ontario and slightly higher yields than last year in other districts. Per acre yields of flax and beans show some decrease over last year while the yield of peas is con- siderably higher. W. A. Fairweather and W. S. Rowe, Agricultural Economics Department, Ontario Agricultural College, Guelph, will begin the collection of cost and income data from apple growers in Norfolk County on August 8th. This vcrk is being done in co-operation with the Agricultural Economics Bra- nch of the Dominion Department of Agriculture. S. C. Hudson of the lat- ter division. who is now engaged in similar work in Novia Scotia, will join MES-Li‘s. Rowe and Fairweather later on and the project will be extended to Haiton.
