Complete with 6 tubes Model 420 Junior Farmers by Mr. J. B. Fair- bairn, Deputy Minister of Agricul- ture, in an address at a banquet tenâ€" dered lthis organization in Toronto last week. Mr. Fairbaim impressed upon his youthful hearers the fact that money was not everything. “The greatest force in the world to-day is intelligence,” he saifl, in urging his audience to develop an ideal. “Honesty and straightforwardness are of great. er service to agriculture than mone- tary returns. A Word to Junior Farmers “Hats off to the past, coats off to the future,” was the slogan given to Current Crap Report | ¢ Live stock throughout the province is reported to be in a generally good‘ condition. In Brant the absence of ‘ rain has created a difficulty as far as watering stock is concerned, but farml work is well completed. Stock zip-l pears healthy in Bruce but some1 classes appear to have gone back‘ somewhat because of the poor grass. ‘ In Essex a complete cleanâ€"up of the sugar beet crop is indicated. Fall wheat in Hastings is in good condition and the report states that live stock will go into winter quarters in fine shape. Cattle are moving briskly in \Oxford with many head being shipped to Quebec and the United States. Be- tween 30 and 35 car-load of cattle have been shipped out of Temiskam- ing so far and all live stock is report- led in first-class condition. Farmers NEWS AND INFORMATION FOR THE BUSY FARMER in Welland are fearing a water famine this winter as a result of the absence of rain. Many wells and streams are already dry. During the past summer the De- partment of Chemistry, 0.A.C., m co-opel‘ation with the Boys’ Training School at Bow-manville, has conducted an extensive test with fertilizers of varying analyses on the potato crop. In the experiments two sets of plots were used. 0n the first set, the fer- Fertilizer Tests on Potatoes Richmond Hill ofAli THE LIBERAL, RICHMOND HILL, ONTAqu tilizers were applied at the rate of 1000 pounds per acre and on the secâ€" ond set at the rate of 500-pounds. In each set one plot was left without fertilizer for comparison. In these tests and on this soil, a 2â€"12â€"6 ferâ€" tilizer seems to give materially better results than any other. Where ferti- lizers were applied at 1000 pounds per acre, the average yield of potatoes was 241.5 bushels against an average where no fertilizer was applied of 162- .1 bushels. This figured out at a net gain of $56.90 for the crop. Where fertilizers were applied at the rate of 500 pounds to the acre, the average yield was 190.6 bushels as compared with 162.]. where no fertilizer was used, and a net gain of $18.34 per Lacre was recorded. The experiments will be repeated next year. Fattening Poultry I In crate-feeding poultry particular| care should be taken to feed'a ration which will produce the white fat and the milk-fed quality. The following ration has been tested and found suit-‘ able for crate feeding: Equal parts1 ‘of middlings, ground oats and barley; equal parts of middlings, ground oats iand ground new potatoes; equal parts of middlings, ground oats and mash- ed potat‘oes; equal parts of middlings, ground oats and cornmeal; equal parts of shorts, ground oats and ground barley; equal parts of lowâ€"grade flour ground barley and ground oats; equal parts of ground whole Wheat, ground whole oats and ground whole barley; equal parts of ground barley, ground ibuckwheat and bran. New Plan of Instruction Institution of a plan of instruction in rural districts in nutrition, home nursing and first aid, sewing, millin- ery and handicrafts, was announced at the 29th annual ‘_ convention of Women’s Institutes of Central Ontario in Toronto last Week by the superinâ€" tendent, Geo. A. Putnam. “It is evi- dent,” he said, “that many rural home workers cannot attend classes every afternoon from day to day for two weeks or more, so We are planning to give instruction in a form which meets the convenience of either small or large groups. Instruction will be igiven for two, three, four days or a. ,whole week, as well as the present 1courses. Upâ€"toâ€"date information will be given on nutrition, how to produce and utilize to the best advantage home grown products, how to remodel the old house to make 'it convenient, at- tractive and healthful, how to make one’s own dresses and hats and how to make at a minimum expense many articles which add to the attractlveâ€" ness, beauty and comfort of the home.” ists was recently appointed to "study rations and suggest mixtures of feeds that would be suitable to Ontario conâ€" ‘ditions. The committee comprised, Prof. J. C. Steckley, Ontario Agricul- tural College; R. W. Wade, Director, Ontario Live Stock Branch; W. J. Bell, Kemptville Agricultural School, ’and W. R. Reek, Ridgetown Experi- mental Station. The following rat- ion was suggested for cows in milk and getting clover or alfalfa hay: 1 pound hay per 100 lbs. live weight; 2 pounds silage per 100 pounds live lweight; 2 pounds roots per 100 pounds ’live weight; and a grain mixture of 200 pounds ground or rolled oats, 200 pounds bran, 100 pounds barley, 50' pounds oil cake and 50 pounds cotton; lseed. Another suggested mixture is 200 pounds oats, 100 pounds glutenw and 25 pounds oil cake. The proteinl‘ content of the first ration is 18 per cent. and of the second 17 1-2 per cent Either is to be fed at the rate of one pound of meal for each four'pounds of milk. Wheat may be used in place of barley and, if roots are not avail- ‘able, feed three pounds silage. If silage is not available, feed four pounds roots per 100 pounds live weight. Recommend Cow Rations ' A committee of leading amcultur‘ Imperial Bank of Canada 56th An- nual Statement has now been issued to the Shareholders and a copy of it will be found on another page in this FIRST BANK STATEMENT OF THE YEAR ISSUED IMPERIAL BANK OF CANADA SHOWS REMARKABLY STRONG POSITION issue. It is an exceedingly strong statement and one that will give the public of Canada new heart regarding the condition of business in their coun- try. We know that busineSS is below the records for 1928 and 1929, but the trouble with most of us is that We .think it is so far below that there is no virtue in comparison. As a matt- er of fact, the Bank’s figures stand comparison remarkably well, and the Banks have always been considered the best barometer of business OVer Canada as a whole. The total assets of $148,000,000. in- dicate a. shrinkage of only 4.14 per cent. The shrinkage appears chiefly in note circulation and non-interest bearing deposits. Interest-bearing deposits are only 3 per cent less than a year ago, and it must be borne in mind that all bank figures of a year ‘ago are the highest on record in the ‘history of Canadian banks. Deposits ‘held for other banks show an increase {of $4,500,000. The Bank’s assets, in terms of per- centage to Public liability, are divided as follows:â€" Gash Assets . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 20.37 Quick Assets (bonds, stocks, call loans .smd Government and Municipal ‘ advances) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 35.63 Percentage of Quick Assets to Public Liability . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Current Loans and Discounts Bank Premises . . . . . . . . . . . . Sundry Assets . . . . . . . . . . . . . Thevprofits of $1,424,081 as com-1 pared with profits of $1,561,561. of last year (highest on record) are down $137,480., or 8.8 per cent. Re- gular dividends of 12 per cent. plus a bonus cfif 1 per cent. have been paidd with ail taxes provided for and the usual contributions to Pension Fund and Ofiiqers’ Guarantee Fund made, and the Sum of $300,000. was written ‘off Bani; Premises, leaving a balance to carry forward in Profit and Loss Account of $740,545., an increase of $21,581. The report is thoroughly satisfacv 01'y rega‘rding the condition of the Bank and generally reassuring re- garding the situation of the country.
