PAGE 6 A weed that is scarcely hardy enough to survive the winter in Canada is the dodder which grows along with clover. It twines around the clover stem and draws its food from it. The last three seasons having been mild, dodder has spread in the Lake Erie counties of Ontario. Though sometimes occuring tarther north it is usually killed the first winter. Both municipalities advertised the use at their equipment this year, and this had the eflect of bringing to light many unknown patches. for several men on rented farms took advantage of the ofler for assistance in the spraying. When dOdder seed is mixed with clover seed it is almost impossible to separate the two. Any badly infested fields should be ploughed under and planted to a hoed or grain crop for a sufficient length or time to completely eradicate any accumulation of dodder which may have taken place in the soil. Where a slight infestation is no- ticed patches containing fodder can be cut and used for fodder before the field coumy .tn Ontario. Raleigh and Bar- wich townships each purchased chemi- cal tanks and many patches of weeds have been destroyed with the use of these implements. Farmers have borrow ed the tanks from the municipalities, and purchasing their own chemicals have done splendid work. is ripe Bi: PM for My Out of a total barley crop of 20,000,- 000 bushels, Ontario grows only 1,200,- 000 bushels, The brewers of Ontario and Quebec use 2.500.000 bushels an- nually and they are anxious to have more attention paid to the crap by Ontario growers.

This is e- specially true in orchards under sod culture, although even orchards under clean cultivation are frequently sub- ject to considerable damage from this cause. The amount or damage caused by these animals varies greatly from year to year, depending largely upon their available supply of food. Galvanized wire screen makes the most eflective protection. The initial cost is high, but as it only has to be placed once and will last for a large number of years. it will be found cheap- er in the long run. This wire should be cut into pieces large enough to en- circle the trunk, anu leave room for expansion of the trunk as the tree grows. The lower end should be buried abLuL one inch in the soil in order to prevent mice from working under- neath. ered an immrtant tillage practise, all land ploughed early and subsequently tap worked being drilled up in early few days earlier in the spring, which is a decided gain on low or heavy land. Some clays tend to run together if left in a highly cultivated state all winter, but ridging up corrects this. Cutting Hen nations is While in conversation with a mem- ber of the Ontario Marketing Board staff. T. A. Benson. Federal Govern- ment. who is senior poultry promoter for Ontario, related an experience which might possibly be the answer to the Ontario situation. While visiting Prince Edward Islandl recently. at the time when the egg mar- ' ket was more or less demoralized. Mr. Benson attended a meeting of repres- entative egg producers. One of this group advised his colleagues to cut down their hens’ rations. giving as a reason that nothing was to be gained! by producing eggs in view of the pre-‘ vailing prices. This plan was adopted quite generally and, when a market was reaction set in. the egg producers found themselves unable to take advantage of the firmer prices. Pointing out the seriousness of the method or expense cutting, Mr. Ben- son said that not only ! it impossible to get the hem into production again overnight, and thus be in a position to take advantage of better prices. but cutting down the rations has a de- cidedly bad eflect on the quality of the cusps-Mum Still th e grape- vine through th e dusk resul t that. sci Flings compe m Mr Tanner 3 her soul 11mg usk Still - the fire-flies in. . the com, mat e . ’ ,ground three we am azinc -K1911n8 ton Te leaoove Still the pine-woods scent the noon; Still the catobird sings his tune; Still autumn sets the maple forest blaz- One of the greatest hazards in the A Bum Man’s Reply not seen until evening.

He re- plies: “We can sell merchandise at less overhead by advertising consis- tently, because it increases volume ma terially. We must have more volumeâ€" and volume means more sales and a smaller prOportion of expense per sale." Which hits the nail squarely on the head and shows how this merchant as well as other courageous ones, are keep- ing up their sales volume by steady and consistent use of newspaper adver- tising.â€"Kincardine Review-Reporter. Because the directors of the Kincar- dine Packing Co. did not file a pros- pectus with the Provincial Secretary as required by the Ontario Companies’ Act, Mr. Justice Raney has given judge- ment in favor of eleven South Bruce farmers who purchased stock in the company who sued for a return of their cash. The amount involved is$2,- 800, but a totai of $17,000 in stock was sold and the judgement is of far- reach- ing importance. The company was in- caporated in 1928.

It always did seem to me that altogether too much was ex- pected from the Conference. If it were a hundred per cent. successful, it would thn fall far short of being the world shaking event predicted. Un-g doubtedly some good must have result- ed from bringing together statesmen from the self-governing nations with- in the Empire; understanding must have been increased. and friendships made, but animosities and disillusion- ment must also have resulted. “For bargaining. as Ramsay Muir has said, On serious matters such as cash and breadâ€"- Leaves angry passions swollen and in- flamed, Since no one ever gets quite all he claimed." It is not possible in a short time to understand what the effects of changes in 262 tariff items will mean Only time will tell. From the evidence admitted in the House this week I feel iwe can safely conclude that the gener- al level of the tariff on British goods entering Canada is still much higher than it was in 1930. 0n goods of a class and kind not manufactured in Canada, such as fine linens, chemicals, etc., real reductions were made. Great Britain is to remain a free market for our far mproducts. In the case of hog productsâ€"bacon and hams â€"Great Britain agrees to accept 2% million hundredweights per year of good quality product, which at the moment far exceeds our exportable suro plus.

Take for ex-_ ample fatted animals exported from Canada, Australia and the Argentine, worth per head on the Liverme mar- ket £10. When the selling price for one head is converted in to Canadian currency with the pound at $3.80, the Canadian exporter receives :38, the Australian exporter $60 and the Ar- gentinian $60. Quotas and tariffs are helpless in meeting such a situation. Oh, but the reader may say, when we are importing goods from Great Brit- ain, cottons, woollenh, boots and shoes etc., we will get them much cheaper because British money is cheap. But, no, that is not true. The Government arbitrarily sets the value of the British pounds for importation purposes at $4.40 and then charges as dumping duty the diflrence between $4.40 and $4.86, so that actually when we cut through political bunkam, all goods imported into cm from Great Britain are based on the pound at parity (“.86). That is, the Canadian producer is paid with cheap money, but he pays with The Conference failed to deal with the monetary and exchange question, passing it up with a pious resolution which stated that prices were too low and interest rates too high and that something should be done about itâ€" but that was all. It is undoubtedly true that American investments in Canada, totalling 62 per cent. of all foreign in- vestments in Canada, proved an irritant to the Conference and had at any rate something to qo with the wmplete failure of the Conference to deal with monetary questions.

This will undoubtedly be countered by other from Empire countries. Today every country is industrial- bed. All have great surpluses of goods which they wish to sell in other coun- tries, but which these other countries do not want to buy. Every country builds up tariff walls to shut out sur- plus goods of other nations coming in, while its own agents are roving the world. trying to induce other people to buy its surplus which. oddly enough. its own people would be glad to have. Because of all this markets are evap- orating and th whole problem today is consumption of goods, not production.
