Increase Turnip sue Through The Ontario Marketing Board states that the export demand for Ontario turnips has dromed of! recently. The general feeling of dealers is that mark- et conditions insofar as export is con- cerned, will improve.

I be- lieve that to their influence and ex- ample may be credited in large meas- ure the comparative secure position of the Ontario farmer at the present time.’ This phase of agricultural extension work is stimulating keen interest among the juniors throughout Ontario.

Plowing Match 3 Success The windup of the Intpmational Plowing Match at Ottawa took the form Teams representing the Boys’ Po- tato and Grain Clubs of the province held their provincial contests at the O.A.C. recently.

Gibbons, won the Grain Club championship, while Steph- en Fletcher and Binnie Shewin of Wentworth County were declared cham pion Potato Club team for 1932. These two teams will represent Ontario in the International Contests in grain and potatoes at the Royal Winter Fair this month. R. S.

In 1930. however, when the croo aproximately 18,275,055, or almost two million bushels less than the previous year, the mar- ket value was $10,906,175. The 1929 crop was still less, amounting to 14,- 150,088 bushels or about 6,000,000 bush- els less than the crOp of 1931, yet hav- ing a market value of $15,271,732, more than three times the 1931 crop. At present prices the 1932 crop, es- timated at 13,780.00 Obushels, would be worth only $4,134,000, but past ex- ;; ;.- lance indicates that there is alee reason for the belief that potato prices will increase. “If market trench conform to those of the past few years,’ commented Charles E.

Use a container five times as large as the volume of oil. Use a thermometer to determine temperature. When 470 F. is reached set the container away from the fire and immediately add flowers of sulphur while the oil is very hot. Add the sulphur a teaspoonful at a time and stir the oil thoroughly after each teaspoonful. Add three ounces of the' sulphur to each quart of oil. After the sulphur has all been added the liquid! should be black and thick. Avoid gett- ing it on the clothing because of the smell, which is persistent.

Little or no injury has been experienced at Ottawa where the trees are protected regularly. Th trees may be protected with news- papers, white building paper or with wire protectors. The advantage of the first is that it is cheapest, but it is good for only one winter. The advan- tage of the wire protector is that it will last for several years if it is painted or galvanized. but it is the most ex-, pensive method at first. Whateverf : protector is used, it should be brought close to the ground with, preferably, a little soil thrown up around the base to prevent mice from getting under it. If rabits are not troublesome the paper or wire need not be more than eighteen inches in height, but where there are rabbits, three feet is none too high. If one fails to put the protectors around the next best plan in to tramp snow a- round the base of the tree after the first gOOd snowsorm, which will do much to keep the mice away from the tree. Some cow manure put around the base Just before winter will, when frozen, help to keep them away, but it is best to give protection shortly before winter. seen that. it the snow is two feet or ftothoaehavingyounztreuthemâ€" ngannotbeciventoooflenthatfl ammlettnnprotectedonemyflnd hummdledmthesprmgandm- jumdbeyondreoovery,orelaesomuch mundmttheyhavemcelvedamâ€" cresct-back.0neshauldcomiderpro- tectlonfrommiceandnbbitautnm- whichmayoocuranywinter.
