1t BEST ONTARIO FODDER CROPS SELECT MARKETABLE POTATOES For nineteen years in succession an experiment . has been _ conducted throughout Ontario in comparing hairy vetches, grass peas and common spring vetches or fodder production. The reaults for this whole period show the following average ylelds of greon fodder per acre per annum: Hairy vetches, 8.6 tons; grass peas, 7.5 tons; and common spring vetches, 86.7 tons. These are all leguminous crops whose feeding valus is high. It is unfortunâ€" ato that the seed of hairy vetches is expensive and as a consequence the crop which in the coâ€"operative experiâ€" ments has given the highest average yleld per acre is grown in Ontario to quite a limited extent. In 1923 soy beans replaced common spring vetches in this experiment and outyielded the other two varieties included in the test. In 1925 only two reports were received and these show little differâ€" ence between the three crops in averâ€" age yield per acre. In 1926 in the average of five successfully conducted experiments soy beans gave the lowâ€" est yield per acro of the varieties inâ€" eluded in the test. The highest yield was produced by the hairy vetches with a yield of 6.5 tons per acre. ments in each of the past six years. In 1926 as well as in the average of the six years‘ results the sunflowers gave the highest and the sorghum the lowest yields per acre. Sunflowers are grown in Ontario to a limited exâ€" tent alone and for mixing with corn for silage. This crop can be successâ€" fully grown in the northern sections of the Province where the season is too short for Indian Corn. In favorâ€" able season« on a warm sandy loam type of soil sorghum may be grown, in Ontario with success. Mammoth Rassian sunflowers, White Cap Yellow Dent corn and Early Amber Sugar Sorghum have been used in the coâ€"operative experiâ€" let by by of VARIETIES OF POTATOES. The potato crop is one of the most stable crops grown in the province, its area showing little variation from year to year.

With many virtues and not a few failings, Peter possessed an unusual power of recognizing the divine in life when it was presented to him. He was extraâ€" ordinarily sensitive to the spiritual This call of Jesus to the people of his time was inspired by the certainty, which had come to him at his baptism, of being God‘s Messiah. God had given him this revelation, which accordingly becomes "glad tidings" of salvation to men. _ Whereas it was commonly thought that much time must elapse before God could set up his everlasting kingdom, Jesus said that the time was now at hand. Whereas men said that "signs‘" must still be awaited, Jesus said that God had given the sign, and that if men would surrender their wills to God the kingdom would beâ€" come an established fact. l V. 16.

The summons is: "Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men." Jesus had a greater task for Peter than that on which he was till this time engaged.

With picâ€"crust all ready and Swede Turnipsâ€"There has been a large amount of interest in the proâ€" duction of Swede turnips in Ontario in recent years. Not only for the proâ€" duction of feed for stock, but also for table use, and particularly for export to the United States. The variety which has made the highest score as a shipping turnip, as determined in the experiments at the O.A.C., is the Perfect Model, which has been grown at the College since 19156. In the coâ€" operative experiments in 1924 in the average of 9 successfully conducted tests the Perfect Model superseded the Bronze Top and the Superiative. In 1925 the Perfect Model held an inâ€" termediate position in yield of roots In 1926 a coâ€"operative experiment ‘was conducted for the first time in ‘thinning Swede turnips at different distances apart in the rows. In the average of 5 successfully conducted ‘experiments yields from the different thinnings were as follows:â€"4 inches apart, 25.2 tons per acre; 8 inches apart, 23.5 tons per acre; 12 inches apart, 20.7 tons per acre. Experiâ€" ments conducted at the College over a period of several years in thinning mangles and Swede turnips at differâ€" ent distances apart in the rows show there is little to be gained from thinâ€" ning these roots at a distance in the rows greater than ten to twelce inches apart. Where roots are thinned at greater distances less yield per acre and poorer quality have invariably been the result, Gectchssi i tnsaade t d Artcit is ns stis. basar t i inss per acre, the highest yielder in the average of 5 successfully conducted tests being the Superlative (elephant type) and the lowest the Canadian Gem. In 1926 the Perfect Model once more held an intermediate position in yield per mcre, being surpassed by Suâ€" perlative by .24 tons per acre in the average of 8 successfully conducted tests. The Canadian Gem is a wellâ€" shaped root and comes next to the Perfsct Model in shape and quality for shipping, but is a smaller yielder per acre than this variety. For several years 1 have been using paper pots for starting crops of such vegetables as command an extra high price for extreme carliness. These include tomatoes, cucumbers, summer squash, melons and eggplant. I have used them also for lima beans, early cabbage and caulifower. They are profitable for these crops where they are to be sold on the local market. Caulifiower started in paper pots will give a very much higher percentage of heads than plants grown in the ordinary way. * The big advantage in growing in paper pots is that the plants receive practically no check when they are transferred from the coldâ€"frame or hotbed to the open ground. The roots form a solid mass or "ball," so that the plants do not wilt even when transplanted in the quite dry weaâ€" ther. Moreover, the plants can be grown to a considerably larger size in the pots before being set out than it is possible to grow them in flats or in the soil in the hotbed or coldâ€"frame. I have often set out tomatoes with the first fruits set, and half an inch or more in diameter, without losing any of them. There are two styles of the papor potsâ€"round ones, shaped much like the ordinary clay pots, and square ones. For starting early vegetables I prefer the latter, four inches square in size. They allpw fully 50 per cent. more soil to each plant; and as they pack tightly in a flat or in the hotâ€" bed or coldâ€"frame, with no air spaces in between, they do not dry out nearly so quickly in very hot or windy weaâ€" ther. * In using the paper pots I place them, emp‘y, side by side, either in flats or directly in the frame. Then I put inâ€"a‘ layer, mnot quite an inch deep, of sifted, very old manure, and then fill in on top of this with light potting soil made of two parts of sandy loam and one part rotted maâ€" nure or humus. ~The pots are filed nearly level full. Tomators, cabbage, cluli!{ower and so forth are transâ€" planted into the paper pots when they are two to three inches high. Beans, melons, squash and cucumbers, which do not transplant readily and which grow rapidly, are started by placing the seed directly in the pots, and left undisturbed until they are put out of doors.â€"F.

The service consists of demonstration work at different country places, the formation of pureâ€"bred ram clubs, and the organization and development of sheep fairs and lamb sales, TLive stock dealers and packing companies in the Province of Quebec are betomâ€" ing very interested in this work, as it has resulted in a much larger number of highâ€"class lambs being offered for sale and in an improvement in the average quality of all lambs.
