The superiority of alfalia as a hay amp was demonstrated in Peel County where it yielded 2‘: to 3 loads per acre as compared with I“: loads of timothy. From Lincoln comes word that the crop of late Alberta peaches was very good and that grapes are being cut in quan- tity and are or fine quality. The bean harvest and corn cutting and silo lil- ling has engaged the attention of farmers in Southwestern Ontario dur- ing the past few weeks. Live stock con- tinues in good condition. Selling "mt-e Fruit Upsets the Domestic Market “Growers who persist in the pract- ise of sending immature fruit to mar- ket mUSL realize that they are grad)- ually robbing themselves, through cre- ating dissatisfied customers." This was the recent statement of Charles T. Broughton. Ontario Marketing Board. Mr. Broughton said that an instance had been reported to him where a con- sumer was forced to hold peaches for ten days after purchasing before the fruit was fit to use “If we are to maintain even our pres- ent hold on the domestic market. let alone expand it." auded Mr. Brought- on, "immature fruit should not be oflered {or sale." au'yer Unable to Secure 20.000 Ontario Calves Garnett Duncan. Ontario Marketing Board, states that a buyer from the United States has been on the Toronto market attempting to purchase 20.000 well finished tOp calves. weighing about 185 pounds. These calves were to be used to tap out loads of American calves. and this buyer claimed that the Canadian call is a better finished pro- duct than that obtainable in his own country. In spite of being prepared to pay eight cents per pound. the calf oflerings on market lately have been so disappointing that the American has been unable to get the desired quantity. Mr. Duncan said the farmers would be well-advised to cultivate this mar- ket. as outside cornpetition in buying is vitally necessary. If this market is not cultivated. the United States. a most valuable outlet. will be closed on Good Care Essential The prOperly balanced ration accom- plishes wonderful results when fed to stock that is rigthly bred. well managed and correctly housed. Houses and equipment such as brood- ers. feed hoppers. drinking pans. etc., that are sufficient to accomodate 100 chicks will not take care of 500. Satis- factory growth cannot be made under such conditions. Growing stock needs lots of feed: provide a good grain feed and a good growing mash in hoppers so the birds can get it. The condition of a carcass when it is marketed depends almost entirely onthewaythebirdiscaredlorup to the time it is killed. This means Weekly Crop Wt Average yield of sugar beets in Hur- 1 County will be about 12 tons per :re.

Fall Wheat Tests During the past year seven ferti- lizers were compared with unfertilized areas on wheat in 43 fall wheat sec- tions. The fertilizers was applied at the rate of 375 pounds per acre by O.A.C. officials. The average gain of all fertilizers a- bove check or no fertilizer was 8.71 bushels per acre. The average in gain in yield for three years was 10.3 bushels per acre. Yields varied considerable on different soils with different ferti- lizers. As a rule the relative response to fertilizers was remarkable uniform. Averages do not give a true picture at all times, but they do indicate the :trend of response. and after all, this .is what the practical farmer wishes Pear exporters may now go to their once they have loaded their shipment, present their bill of lading and draw from the bank up to $1.50 per barrel or 50 cents per box on the shipment. Should the shipment fail to realize these prices the government is obligated to protect the bank against the loss. Two irnportant provisions in con- nection with the new "pears" arrange- ment is that all such fruit must be ship ped through Andrew Fulton, the fruit growers’ commercial representative in the British Isles, and no loan made by a bank shall exceedl three months. The great value of fertilizer on fall wheat is that it not only gives strength and vigor to the cr0p to which it is applied, but it almost always insures a good stand of clover and grass where the wheat-field is seeded. In addition. fertilizer wheat makes more rapid growth than unfertilized. hence. if wheat is sown fairly late to miss the brood of Hessian fly. the wheat will catch up in growth and have a satisfactory tOp before winter sets Ontario Farm Products Week The week of October 17th to 22nd has been chosen as "Ontario Farm Products Week." the primary idea be- hind the movement being to encouro age the greater use of Ontario grown products.
