A spring-tooth barrow, ‘under ordinary service condition, is good only about eight years, while a wagon will hold out for twenty-four years. A survey made recently indi- cated that the average cost of using- a one-row cultivator was eight cents which was about the lowest for any implement. In some instances mach- ines made almost entirely of metal and not housed seemed to last as long as those which were housed. However, (ther machines with many small parts or parts with wood, cloth or leather, badly need shelter. Binders fall in this class. Investigation reveals that binders which were sheltered required only 1.38 cents per acre for repairs as compared with 2.38c for those not Nature seems to have adapted some plants so that they can live better und- er conditions that other plants cannot tolerate. Watermelons, blackberries, strawberries and some other plants grow very satisfactorily in an acid soil providing it is otherwise fertile. Potaâ€" toes are sometimes said to grow better in an acid soil. This opinion. how- ever, is based on the fact that lime in the soil encourages the growth of scab, ‘which harms the potatoes. Lime real- ly makes the soil better for potatoes when there is no scab although the benefit is never very marked. Better lime the soil after the potato crop than before it. Some grasses are very acid resistant, red top, tall mea- dow oat grass and bent grasses being very high in the list. Timothy does well, however, in many soils where clover will no longer grow. than very (low chance such as it would have if the Corn Borer Act had not been énforced. Corn growers in Ontario will have to become accustomed to the fact that cleaning up corn remnants each spring will-be a regular part of farm operâ€" ations. Non-enforcement of the act this year would be folly.” Potato Acreage ' “Intention to plant” surveys in the United States suggest an increase of six per cent. in potato acreage. If this happens and a normal or heavy crop is harvested lower prices may be expected next marketing season. Onâ€" tario prices for potatoes have been satisfactory this year which may tempt growers to increase acreage. Poor and marginal potato land may come into production and result in an increase of low quality product. Farmers will be well advised to direct their energies 'toward an increased yield per acre of high-quality tubers rather than an increase in acreage. Borer Still a Menace Provincial Entymologist, L. Caesar, who is in charge of the enforcement of he corn borer act, recently declared that the impression that the corn bor- b er has been reduced in most counties. and that the law will not be strictly‘ enforced this year is fallacious. “The tcrer is just as dangerous an insect| today as it ever was,” he declared. “and all it needs is to be given a Acid Phosphate is Superphosphate Certain fertilizer salesmen in Onâ€" :ario are selling superphosphate, clai- ming this to be a superior product to acid phosphate. The two names mean one and the same thing. This fertilizer has been on the market for years and ordinarily is guaranteed to contain 16 per cent. available phosph- oric acid. It can be used alone on certain crops or in home mixed fertilâ€" izers. Large quantities are used in making up mixed fertilizers, as sold by many fertilizer companies. The Calf to Retain Good judges of cattle can tell; al- most at once, whether a calf is worth rearing or not, and that soon after it is born. There are certain signs that cannot be neglected, and by which they are guided in making their selecâ€" tion. A small undersized calf is not one to be retained, for it will but rareâ€" ly repay the trouble involved in feed- ing and rearing into a store beast, and thus'it had better be taken to market as soon as possible. A lively calf jumping and playing around its dam is what one likes to see, for such a calf is strong on its legs, healthy and should be possessed of a strong conâ€" stitution. ing egg-producing province and show- ed a Very substantial increase over the preceding year.

K. Riddell and M. F. Cook (le- velop satisfactorily. The following scheme has been developed: Any boy between the ages of 12 and 20 years residing in selected townships in the county will be given a bag of certified potatoes by a member of the London Chamber of Commerce on the under- standing that he return to the donor two bags of potatoes next fall. The member will keep account of labor and expenses and in the fall a potato fair willbe held. In November the Winnâ€" ers will be announced at a luncheOn. Fruit Crop Promising A preliminary survey of conditions in fruit and vegetable areas announc- ed last week showed that on the whole there has been very little winter-kill- ing and most of the trees seem to have come through quite well. A crop of apples well up to the average of past years is predicted for 1930. Fruit budding is said to be quite below nor- mal in quality but generally well de- veloped. Niagara orchards wintered well and small fruits and grape vines are in excellent condition. A good supply of healthy fruit buds is apparâ€" ent in the Burlington district but the outlook for the pear crop is not so promising". With the exception of the Leamington district, peaches genâ€" erally have wintered Well.

A case is cited where a young farmer began to reaâ€" lize that the twelve cows on his farm were a very ordinary bunch, producing just two cans of milk daily. A good bull Was procured and soon an im- provement was noted in the herd after the poorer cows were weeded out. In ‘3 short time the young man was ship- provement was noted in the herd after the poorer cows were weeded out.
