Everyone is cordially invited. Breeders of Holstein cattle, in fact, all farmers engaged in dairying‘, will undoubtedly be interested in attend- ing a Herd Sire Demonstration, which according to arrangements just com- pleted by the Extension Department of the Holstein-Friesian Association of Canada, co-operating with the York County Holstein Rreeders’ Club, is scheduled to take place at Eaton Hall Farm, King, Ont., Wed- nesday evening, July 25th, commenc- ing at 7 p.m. Of special interest in connection with the program will be an address by an official of the Health of Animals Branch, Ottawa, on “The Control and Elimination of Infectious Abortion, or Bang’s D1:- ease in Cattle,” this is a subject of importance and deep concern to all dairy farmers. Miss Stella Levison is visitmg friends in Muslkoka for a few days. Mrs. B. Coe of Buffalo spent the week-end with Mr. and Mrs. Giles Kerswill, they spent Sunday with Mrs J. Gillie-s of King. Herd Sire Demonstration Another attractive feature of the program will be lantern slides illus- trating Holstein cattle, both males and females, which have figured prominently in breeding development and the show-ring during the past few years. A series of these slides will show the champion cows in Canada in all divisions of the Record of Performance. This Herd Sire Demonstration is be- ing held primarily for the purpose of providing Holstein breeders and other dairy farmers interested in building up their herds to a higher standard in type and production, with informati‘on'covering some of the‘ characteristics which ought to be looked for and regarded in choosing a herd sire, either young or mature. In view of that, those in charge vn'll have on exhibit for inspection and a judging 'competition, a number of Holstein bulls of various ages, also the get of some of the older bulls, and these will be given a prominent piace in the work which will be in change of R. B. Faith, Director 0; Extension for the Holstein-Friesian Association of Canada, and Prof. Geo. E. Raithby, of the Ontario Agricul- tural College, Guelph. There is no doubt but that the average milk production of dairy cows in Canada is very much below ,what it ought to be; moreover, the need for more attention in improv- ing both health and type must be apparent to all breeders. Farmers, therefore, ought to take advantage of the splendid opportunity this Hol- stein Herd Sire Demonstration af- fords in helping them to make a care- ful study of ways and means which might be adopted in placing their herds on a more profitable basis. Yet the sad‘ truth is that nobody would think about war if there were no diplomats trying to prevent it. Bountiful crops are in prospect for soils the farmers of this district this year. ence Nature sure is kind, and if foolish va1-i( man-made restrictions in our econo- mic system were abolished there One would be a more bountiful return to} the farmer. I A1 Not many weeks ago, an Ontario trust company sold a fine, well-culti- vated farm which had come back on‘ their hands, for less than 82 (two dollars) per acre. Why? There had been loaned upon the farm, on the security of a bortgage, an amount of several thousand dollars, but the mortgagor, the farmer who had own- ed the farm, could» not meet the pay- ments; the price of farm products was not sufficient to pay for wages, living expenses, mortgage interest and taxes. So the farm was sold for less’ than it would have brought nearly one hundred years ago. Something has happened to the farmer’s dollarâ€"it has shrunk in val- ue, failed to keep pace with the fluc- tuations in prices of the things which the farmer has to pay for, for the farmer’s currency is the products he grows or raises or manufactures. NEWS AND INFORMATION FOR BUSY FARMER It is too much to expect that the problems of Canadian agriculture are capable of being solved over-nightâ€" especially’with Canada’s present de- fective monetary systemâ€"but this much is certain, that the present fiscal policy of the Dominion is inim- ical to the best interests of agricul- ture Sales of Branded Beef Sales for May, 1934, amounted to some 4,286,360 pounds as compared with 2,754,678 pounds for May, 1933. The increase in sales of branded beef for the first five month of 1934 as compared with those of 'the same period last year, amounts to approx- imately thirty-three per cent. Such figures, of course, apply to domestic sales only. Show Decided Increase Consumer appreciation of top qual- ity beef is indicated by the steadily increasing demand for branded beef. Garden Poison Mixture Youn-g seedlings in gardens are frequently destroyed by dut-wolrmis which eat through the stem, just at the surface of the soil.‘ A good poisoned bran mixture for their con- trol is made as follows; Mix thor- oughly 1%; lb. Paris green with 20 lbs. bran while both are dry. Dissolve one quart of molasses in 2 gallons. or more of water, then pour this into the poisoned bran and stir until all the bran is moistened thoroughly. In smaller quantities, use one quart of bran, 1 teaspoonful of Paris green, and one tablespoonful of molasses with enough water to moisten the poisoned bran. Spread on the surface of the ground near the plants as soon as they are set out. The cus-worms come out at night, eat the poisoned bran, and- are killed. Sandy Soil Management For drifting- sands a plant known as sea-sand reed or beach grass has been used with considerable success. It is valuable because of its root- stock growth which enables it to grow up through rapidly accumulating sand. When the sand has been fairly well controlled, there are two other grasses, namely rattail and wild rye, which have been, found useful. Um- fortunately the supply of the seed of these plants is scarce. There are many areas of blowsand which Will never be fit for anything but the production of trees. It may be necessary, even, in the establish- ing of desirable types of trees, first to plant quick-growing kinds, establish beach grass, or use other methods to control the sand until the young per- manent trees can secure a. proper foot-hold.

One Fertilizer Analysis Now Takes Place of Three At a recent meeting of the Ontario Advisory Fertilizer Board, relates George R. Paterson, secretary, a. definite forward step was taken in the adoption of a suggestion that the bugbear of the fertilizer industry, ‘namely, too many analyses- of prac- ‘tically the same formulae, be elimi- inated. The suggestion was to the effect that the analyses 0-12â€"4, 0-12-5, and 0-14-6 be abolished and the analysis 0-12-6 substituted. The board greeted this suggestion with unanimous ap- proval, and it is now being acted upon by the Ontario Promising New Grains at the Central Experimental Farm The Central Experimental Farm at Ottawaâ€"home of our most noted var- ieties of Wheat and of certain other cropsâ€"again offers much of special interest in the way of new creations in the crop world. As the season advances the peculiarities of these new forms are gradually being unâ€" folded, revealing in many cases indli- cations of superior commercial values. Probably of greatest interest to eastern farms this year are the newer varieties of barley and oats, some of which promise to oust our old estab- lished sorts in the very near futume. Danger In Poison Baits Timer warning has been given of dangers attendant on the use of pois- oned grasshopper baits. It ‘is danger- ous to leave mixing utensils when live stock can reach them and ought to be carefully guarded] against. This also applies» to bags in which bait is transported. PoisOning of live stock is also possible when poisoned bait is put out in lumps instead of being spread finely. If cattle are well sup- plied with salt they Will be less apt to be attracted to bait in which salt is present. There is also danger to the farmer himself of getting the poison dust in his mouth and nose when mixing- the bait. This real danger can be obviated by tying a cloth over the nose and mouth, or by wearing a protective mask.
