PAGE 6 m Marketing- Coat J .T. Cassin, Ontario Marketing Board, says, that if the portion of the potato crap infected with late blight rot is mixed with the remaining good potaotes, the entire lot will become oflected. This. of course, calls for a needle3s picking over of potatoes, a prac tise which does not reconcile itself with the policy of cutting down marketing costs.

Detonator Seed [admin The seed growing industry in Can- ada has been gradually developed and improved during the period of the past thirty years. It now embraces the pro- duction and improvement of approved varieties of cereals of pedigreed stock, the production of Iorage Cl'Op seeds, garden vegetable, and flour seeds. It is end the production of field root, and estimated that in 1931, 3,710 (arms were producing seed crops subject to federal inspection, and that around 12,- 000 persons were engaged in the pro- duction and marketmg of the im- proved seed. Indicated for Ontario Carrots “A real service to the fruit and vege- table producers is being effected by the Ontario Growers' Markets Council,” said J. A. Carroll, secretary of the Ontario Marketing Board. Mr. Carroll advised that. according to information from the Markets Coun- cil representative in the Prairie Prov- inces. an earlier market for Ontario carrots is indicated this year. Earlier Western Market In order to be in a position to an- swer enquiries. and to place buyers in touch with sellers. the Council is send- ing out query forms in an attempt to determine the quantity of winter vege¢ tables available. and at what price moducers are willing to sell. "In my Opinion," concluded the sec- retary of the Marketing Board, “grow- ers who neglect to fill in and return these forms are running the risk of allowing possible markets. for winter vegetables to slip from their grasp."

Weekly Crop Report Harvesting of mangels and turnips is well advanced. with excellent yields of both being reported from many parts of Western Ontario and also Eastern Ontario.

Honey Prices Going Up Honey producers througout the pro- vince are considerably gratified with the steady rise in price for their pro- duct. As a result of heavy exportations totalling over one quarter of a million pounds in September alone, the domes- tic price has risen from a cent to a cent and a half, and most producer are now refusing to sell for less than six and a half cents per pound net.

Minerals from these sources are not available for fall litters, which are fed mainly in dry lots and pens, and an adequate mineral ration should be provided. The minerals found in the ordinary home-grown hog feeds (oats and bar- ley) are not sufficient to meet the needs of the rapidly growing hog and when six months old. To produce this very rapid growth all the awry ele- ments, including minerals mm be pro- vided. If minerals are lacking in the these elements are lacking growth is immediately retarded. The mineral de- ficiencies in a ration can be remedied however, by feeding supplementary mineral mixtures. A simple mineral mixture which has been used for a number of years at the Dominion Experimental Station, Lacombe, Alberta consists of 76 pounds of slack coal, 20 pounds of salt, 3 lbs. of air-slacked lime or ground lime- stone, and one pound of sulphur. The mixture is fed in boxes, or in separ- ate compartments of the self-feeder to which the pigs have free access. Feeding tests conducted at Lacombe, indicate clearly that when pigs get no dairy by-proclucts, tankage, fish meal, or green feed, a mineral supplement should be fed furnishing lime and salt, An experiment has been conducted over a period of two years to com- pare the rate and economy of gains of fall pigs receiving a ration of oats and barley only, with fall pigs allow- ed free access to the mineral mixture above referred to, in addition to this grain. Both lots were self-fed and the mineral mixture was available to the one lot from a separate compartment of the self-feeder. The use of the mineral mixture increased the gains on the av- erage by 52 per cent. and reduced the cost of gains by 34 per cent. In these experiments the pigs fed grain alone made, on the average, a daily gain of only 0.63 of a pound, while those fed the mineral mixture in addition, made a daily gain of 0.96 of a pound. The cost of putting on 100 pounds live weight was reduced from $4.59 to $3.01. iFeeding minerals to fall litters is not expensive and frequently makes the difference between profit and loss. CANADIAN CELERY LEADS THE WORLD Everyone knows that Canadian hard wheat sets the standard by which all other wheats are judged. Few realize that as a producer of prize celery, Can- ada also ranks first among the nations of the world, states the Market Intel- ligence Service of the Dominion Fruit Branch. In choosing her celery the housewife would do well to keep the following facts in mind. Always look for stalks that are well bleached, with a good solid heart foundation. Stems should be succulent and snap readily when bent. Avoid stems that are flat and thin, Proof of the superior quality of Can- adian grown celery is found in every grocery or fruit and vegetable store at the present time. Fresh young stalks straight from the celery growing arâ€" eas of the Dominion are now reaching the market in quantity and although the quality is exceptional, prices are very reasonable. as they are often stringy. Celery that is green and poorly bleached usually lacks flavour. Stalks that are badly split at the base should never be pur- chased. With Canadian celery so plentiful this delightful mid-summer vegetable should have an important place in the diet of every household. It provides an excellent appetizer and side dish and because of its mineral content is ideal for purifying the blood and lending general tone to the whole system. Canada is represented by forty-one different lines in Canadian food prod- ucts at the Bristol, England annual ex- hibition which opened in that city Sepâ€" tember l for a period of fourteen days. Information received by the Depart- ment of Trade and Commerce here in- dicates that the Bristol exhibition is being better patronized this year by Canadian firms than in former years. In addition to displays of Canadian food products, Canadian pipe tobacco, and cigarettes, Canadian timber and Canadian silver fox pelts are also being exhibited. Coincident with the holding of the exhibition commission has amused for a number of the leading grocery stores in that city to make special window displays of Canadian food products.â€" Still and all, the girls will continue CANADA’S SHOW WINDOW THE DURHAM CHRONICLE fora“ Of special interest to the truck farm- ers of the Fraser Valley and other parts of British Columbia is a new pamphlet just issued by the Entomological Branch of the Department of Agriculture at Ottawa on the Cabbage Flea Beetle and its control in British Columbia. A study Of the life history and the methods for control of this insect was undertaken in 1923 in direct response to numerous requests from farmers and gardeners in the Pacific Coast province. Among the plants affected by the cabbage flea beetle are the turnip, radish, cabbage, cauliflower, kale, brussels sprouts and candytuft; and such weeds as shep- herd’s purse and hedge mustard. This pamphlet. No. 80 N.S., is very complete in its treatment of the subject and out- lines control measures which are prov- ing effective, and it is available with- out charge on application to the Pub- lications Branch of the Department at Ottawa. Artificial drying of wheat in Canada has now been practically .perfected by the National Research Council‘s Asso- ciate Committee on Grain Research Losses of crop ranging from 28.6 to 50.8 per cent. and cash deductions totalling millions of dollars were sustained by Canadian farmers in recent years through tough or darnp grain. The lat- ter may now be dried without damage to its milling and baking quality through the efficiency of commercial driers. Experimental work is being ex- tended to include processes for the drying of barley and other coarse grain. -â€"Department of Agriculture, Ottawa.
