SHEPPARD & GILL LUMBER C0. Building Material 'ry a Want Ad. in The Liberal Prices Going Up! Labor Still Low BUILD AND REPAIR NOW PAGE SIX Wise investors interested in building or re- modelling their homes know that now is the time to have the work done. The very advantageous prices of material and labor at the present time should induce those who contemplate building or repairing to do so this summer. Present indications forecast an early increase. Don’t delay. Let us quote you prices now.

The Oxford Fruit Co-operative has begun work on a two-storey concrete and brick cold storage warehouse at Wood- stock, which will cost $30,000. It will have a 10,000â€"barrel capacity and will be ready for the fall pack of apples. The Lambton Cold Storage Company is also erecting a two- storey building, which will have a. capacity of 5,000 barrels storage with “Rust” Disease “The ‘rust’ disease that attacks outdoor flowers such as Snapdrag- on and Hollyhock,” said J. F. Clark, horticultural fieldman, Agricultural Societies Branch, “can be controlled by keeping the plants thoroughly dusted with sulphur. The spores of the fungi, which cause this disease, are killed when they come into con- tact with sulphur on the plants, thus preventing infection. Sulphur may also be used as a treatment for the control of black spot and mildew on Roses. a large packing room in addition. It is located at Forest and will prove a boon to the fruit growers of that dis- trict. The cost is placed at $15,000. “The tarnished plant bug is fre- quently destructive to the buds of dahlias and zinnias together with other flowering plants. Dust mix- tures applied by means of a hand- blower are of value, especially to- bacco dust. Hydrated lime when dusted on is proving beneficial.” Vegetable Crops Discussing vegetable conditions in Ontario, George Rush, vegetable specialist, Horticultural Branch, said that the yield of early potatoes is considerably below that of last year, and that fair prices have caused many JV THE LIBERAL, RICHMOND HILL, ONTARIO AND INFORMATION FOR THE BUSY FARMER ,gm growers to market their crop early. A certain percentage of growers, however, are holding back in the hope of a greater yield, and believing that prices will remain at their present level. Tomatoes have suffered to some extent with lateral blooms not set- ting so Well. Staked tomatoes have given best results in fruit sets. Potato Yields Decrease. Prices Reasonably Firm Unlike other years, says C. W. Bauer of the Ontario Growers’ Mar- kets Council, first plantings of poâ€" tatoes have already been harvested, and supplies are now coming from later districts and second early plant- ings, which materially reduces avail- able supplies. Yields have varied from twenty to fifty bags per acre as against sixty to seventyâ€"five bags a year ago. Even though the yield is light, the sample is exceptionally good. Beet and carrot crops are fair, and heavy plantings for late crops have been made. Peas, both canning and market, are finished. Cabbage crops have been good, with large supplies still available. Late plantings in cabbage and cauliflower are large. Unless growers become nervous the price should remain reasonably firm and, as to available supplies, it is doubtful if there are more than suf- ficient to carry the de‘mand until the late crop is ready for harvesting. Pasture For Pigs Pasture for pigs may undoubtedly be made good use of on the average farm. This method of feeding, how- ever, has disadvantages, particularly with the active bacon hog, owing to the opportunity for excessive exercise from the standpoint of fast finishing and the liability of little pigs to stunting through sunburn and the combined effects of sunburn and dew. With plenty of skim milk or butter- milk, both the experimental evidence and that of practical feeders would in- dicate that growing bacon hogs may be fed for market more economically indoors or in well shaded pens, sup- plied with racks for green feed, pre- ferably in the form of alfalfa or clover. Racks are essential to the prevention of waste. Ontario Agriculture Well Repre- sented at Regina A very comprehensive picture of Ontario agriculture is being given to the visitors at\ the «World’s Grain Exhibition and Conference through the large educational exhibit that has been prepared by the Extension De- partment of O.A.C. for the Ontario Department of Agriculture. The display is 120 feet in length, and is divided into five units that Show the most recent advances in poultry and hog production, \and the latest developments in cereal and le- gume breeding that have been made in Ontario. These four panels are balanced about the central unit which provides a key to the whole scheme with the caption, “Ontario Agricul- ture: A Well Balanced System, With Much Live Stock, and Regular Ro- tation of Crops.” The idea of crop rotations as the most important factor in the success of Ontario agriculture is also very forcibly presented in the central panel by means of an eight-foot Wheel, which revolves slowly, showing in a very striking manner the crops and arrangement that go to make up a good rotation for Ontario. Weather Conditions Setback to Ontario Cattle Business Live stock in Western Ontario is experiencing a setback due to the drought of the past two months, says Garnet H. Duncan of Richmond Hill, live stock investigator, Ontario Mar- keting Board. Pastures are dried out to such an extent that cattle are bare- ly holding- their own, even on in- creased acreage of pasture land. Without more favorable weather con- ditions, many cattle will be unfinished by the coming autumn, or will reach the market later than usual. Improving Alfalfa Yields Reports from most of the 24 farm demonstration experiments conducted in 22 counties by the Department of Chemistry, O.A.C. are in. The fig- ures bring out some interesting facts. 1933 growing season has been fairly favourable in many sections, but severe droughts have reduced yields to a considerable extent. Neverthe- less, results o_f great interest remain. An application of fertilizers of 375 lbs. per acre in early Spring resulted this year in an average increase of 3,298 lbs. green alfalfa per acres-This To ob't’ain best returns the pro- ducer willl have to exercise greater care than ever before in the mar- keting of such cattle. Heavy sup- plies of unfinished cattle reaching the market will, undoubtedly, demoral- ize the entire live stock trade. was 31.2% greater yield than that obtained from unfertilized alfalfa. The highest yielding fertilizer was again 0-12-15, which this year gave an average increase of 34.6% over unfertilized. The average yield for the 221 farm fertilizer experiments on alfalfa con- ducted over the province during the past four years shows an a’verage in- crease for fertilizers of 4,033 lbs. or dual gain Three common analysis tested in all four years have given the follow- ing 1-esults,â€"0â€"12-5, 23.7% increases; 2-12-6, 29.7% increases; 0â€"12-15, 40.5 % increaseg; The cost of 375 lbs. of the fertilizers used ranges from $5.25 % increases. The cost of 375 lbs. of the fertilizers used ranges from 85.25 to $7.50 per acre. The 1933 figures again confirm the findings of the previous three years; high potash fertilizers pay best on alfalfa. Alfalfa being a legume, has the power to extract nitrogen from the air and fix it in the soil by virtue of the structure of its roots. It is logical, therefore, to interpret the fig- ures given to mean that, when the alfalfa crop is established, it can sup- ply its own nitrogen, but that it bene- fits materially from the addition of phosphate, and especially potash. 29.2‘7 The Y.P.S. was in charge of Dor- othy Dew, assistant citizenship con- venor, on Tuesday evening.
