Greenwood {es A modern two-furrow plow is used, drawn by four horses or a trac- tor. The hay is gotten off early and ' the land is plowed while dry to a dep- th of six or eight inches. The clods thus turned up, if left for a few days will dry out so that the sun and air will kill perhaps 70 per cent of the sow thistle roots. After a week, if rain has not intervened, a heavy broad toothed cultivator or heavy disc is used to expose all the roots to the‘ killing effects of heat and drouth Inter-County Visiting Farmers’ excursions from Welland, Wellington, Kent, Lambton and Essex are visiting Norfolk County this sum- mer. As a writer in the Farmers’ Sun remarks: “If the time and gaso- line can be spared and the trip is well- planned, this interâ€"county visiting seems to be a promising development. There are few of us who cannot learn something by observing what farmers in other parts of the province are do- ing and how'they do it. Norfolk can show most counties something in glowing and selling apples; Oxford ‘can give most some pointers in dairy ‘farming; West Middlesex knows how to grow potatoes and other sections have their strong as well as weak ‘points. Compete For Donation Announcement is made by J. Lockie Wilson, superintendent of the Agri- cultural Societies Branch, that A. J. H. Eckardt donation will be competed for in 1930 at the following county fairs; Russell, Kingston Industrial, Roblins Mills, Victoria, Simcoe, Lin- coln, Norfolk ’Lambton, Elgin, Bruce, Haliburton, Nipissing. It will also be competed for at Agri- cultural Societies’ Fairs in York County as follows; Aurora, Agincourt, Markham, Richmond Hill, Schomberg, Sutton, Woodbridge. Labor-Saving Devices Already a‘ great deal of discussion has been indulged in by poultry rais- ers concerning the use of electricity in producing more eggs per hen. How- ever, the use of “Electric daylight" is not the only way in which this useful commodity can be employed on the farm. With the increased uge of (heap hydro power, electric labor sav- ing devices will be in more general use and the day is not far distant when electricity will run the farm as 20mplete1y as it now runs the modern factory. Plow in July “Plow in July while it’s dry” is the slogan adopted by farmers of Wellâ€" ington County in their combat to elim- inate the "Million Dollar Menace"â€" the sow thistle. The method describâ€" ed by Ralph Clemens, agricultural re- presentative, is perhaps the best ad- apted to the poorly drained heavy clay soils on which sow thistle best thriv- I Tests on Alfalfa Satisfactory yields of alfalfa are Hail-1y common in many parts of On.â€" tario yet many farmers are anxious ‘to find means of increasing the pro- }duction of this highly valuable legume Kind of strengthening the crop. It is a well known fact that alfalfa makes use of large quantities of potash but just what quantities of suitable fertil- izers will be best to apply to it, is a question in which many practical farâ€" mers are interested. In an attempt to answer this important question, a very interesting test is being worked out by the Department of Chemistry, Ontario Agricultural College, in co- operation with R. E. White, Agricul- tural Representative in Newmarket, on the farm of Earl Toole, New- market. More Onions Planted Fully 1600 acres in the Dover, Erie- au, Jeanette’s Creek and Leamington districts are under crop for onions this year, according to a survey re- cently completed. Last year the acreage in these districts amounted to 1190 acres, the increase this season being due to the Dover farmers goâ€" ing in more extensively for this crop. On the basis of last year, this year’s acreage should yield'about 350,000 bags. Grubs and Strawberry Plants A new strawberry plantation is likely to come to grief if it is on sod land Where white grubs make their home. At least two vegetable crops should be taken from the land before strawberry plants are set out. June beetles lay their eggs commonly in glassy land and the white grubs whiâ€" ch hatch from them require two or more years to develop. In newly ploughed sod, therefore, there will be some half-grown larvae. In the year following, they will be nearly full grown and very voracious and straw- berry roots are a favorite food, with the result that an entire plantation may be easily wiped out.
