The Richmond Hill “Liberal” KELVINATOR ELECTRIC REFRIGERATOR Kill The Woodchucks â€" Woodchuck holes are a great nuisâ€" ance. They may cause a horse to ‘break a leg, while the mounds may break the cutting bar of a mower or at least blunt the knives. This is the time to get rid of the pests. Search out all the holes and plug up all exits. Into the entrance either put calcium cyanide or else use the exhaust of an automobile. To use the automobile attach a pipe and run the engine for twenty minutes, then plug up the hole and go to the next burrow. In the case of cyanide also the burrow must be carefully closed, preferably with damp earth. When using both these methods care must be taken. Be sure no cyanide is leftâ€"around where animals or children can get it. Keep away from the deadly gas coming out of the car exhaust. Scheme Enlarged The interest shown by farmers in the Co-operative Fertilizer Demon- trations which have been conducted since 1929 by the Dept. of Chemistry, O.A.C. has led that body to include an ever increasing element of ex- perimentation in their demonstration program. The work was started Fertilizer Demonstration A larger planting than usual of early potatoes has been made in Duf- ferin County. Owing to the conven- ience of five-minute acidulated corâ€" rosive sublimate treatment, many more seed tubers are being treated there this year. Fall wheat, alfalfa and clovers have made excellent growth and are in good condition in most districts. Seeding of spring grain has been practically finished.

To keep satisfactorily, mar- ket milk must be cooled to around 45 degreés F. and held at that tem- perature. Pears Are Peculiar Pears are somewhat different to other fruit in so far that they do not develop their highest quality if al- lowed to ripen on the trees. For ex- ample, a William pear that has a tinge of colour on it, wrapped in paper and placed in a drawer for a few days, will ripen in such a way as to give a flavour that is highly deâ€" sirable. Walnut Trees Distributed The 1933 work will be carried out on 120 farms in Old Ontario, and the total number of plots will exceed six hundred. The tests, as usual, are be- ing laid down on all of the standard crops, but special studies are to be made of fertilizers on potatoes, turâ€" nips, alfalfa and sugar beets. The effect of fertilizer mixtures in hasten- ing maturity is a point of special in- vestigation in the husking corn areas, and their effort on quality is one of the problems to be studied for the potato and turnip growers. An ex- tensive co-operative program is also being carried out with the market gardeners in the vicinity of Sarnia, London, Toronto, Brotkville and 0t- tawa. These growers are particular- ly interested in problems of fertility management. information these source B U 1,3599 ES 11'1 To \Vomen’s Institutes Several hundred Japanese Walnut THE LIBERAL, RICHMOND HILL, ONTARIO w the effectiveness of s of fertilizers, under n conditions and ob- with four years’ ex- it that much valuable 1 be obtained from FURNITURE CO., LIMITED Tuesday, May 30th to Monday, June 5th A great deal of damage is being done to the Gladiolus in Ontario by a pest known as Gladiolus Thrips. All citizens growing this beautiful flower are urged to treat the corms before planting, so that the danger may be controlled as far as possible. The following treatment is suggested:â€" Dilute one ounce of Corrosive sub- limate in six gallons of water, and after peeling the corms soak them for three hours in this solution, the liquid being kept at about 70 degrees F. This material is deadly poison and should be dissolved in warm water, using earthenware or wooden vessels. A light dressing of hydrated lime may he sprinkled over the Irises at this time. Cut worms will soon begin to oper- ate in the garden. A simple means of control is to mix one quart of bran, one teaspoonful of Paris Green and one tablespoonful of Molasses, with sufficient water to mointen the bran. This mixture should be lightly sprink- led about the plants in the late eve- ning. or Heartnut trees have been dlstl‘lb- uted to the Women’s Institutes of Norfolk and Durham, and to more than one hundred of the Junior Insti- tute delegates, who attended the reâ€" cent Girls’ Conference held at Mac- donald Institute, O.A.C., Guelph. Mr. J. A. Neilson, former nut spec- ialist with this Department, generous- ly donated the trees from his Guelph garden, for the purpose of stimulat- ing an interest in this neglected form of horticulture in Ontario. These trees. which are of a hardy, fast-growing race of Japanese Walâ€" nuts, are valuable, not only because of their very palatable nuts, but because they make attractive shade trees on streets and lawns. The Heartnuts reâ€" quire very little attention after plant- ing, and if planted on otherwise waste land, they make a very desirable per~ manent crop.
