Bell, Associate Professor of Chemistry, Ontario Agricultural College, in an: address before this group. “History records that about 100 years ago one oi the first instances of tractor plow- ing took place in this district within a few miles of the meeting, namely near Pickering. In this vicinity, (me John Prout, an Englishman of comâ€" parative wealth and splendid! agri- cultural tvaining, settled near Picker- ing. On this land he put into prac- tice many of the new ideas put out by what is now Rothamsted Station, which methods were engaging the at- tention of leading English farmers. Some of the earliest applications of , commercial fertilizers were made at‘ this ‘time. Prout demonstrated that successive crops of cereals could be grown on heavy clay land if it is drained well, and properly fertilized. {With these new ideas of soil manage- ment, he coupled the idea of tractor plowing. On his level fields he plac- ed a steam engine at one side and with the aid of long cables and pul- leys he employed the first tractor plowing apparatus in Canada." “Then, again, the comparative superiority of the crops of York county this year warrant special at- tention to this section,” saidI Prof. Bell. On Tuesday evening, July 17th, the Junior Farmers of York County along with a number of farm owners and operators, gathered at the home of Mr. F. Gee, Gormley, to examine crop and fertility tests being con- ducted on his farm and on several farms in the vicinity of Victoria. Souare. Junior Farmers I Make Interesting F Tests of Crople An excellent barley test was seen - on the farm of Mr. F. Brumwell, ‘ Gormley. Here similar differences & were noted and an additional obser- vation of importance was made that the heads of the barley on the fertil- ’ ized sections were sufficiently far ad- ‘rvanoed that they were hanging down due to increased weight, while those ing and excellent crop of oats, part of which had been treated with 0-12-5 fertilier at 250 lbs. per acre, and part wth 2-12â€"6. It is too early, of oou1'se,"bo predict yields, but con- siderable advantage over neighbor- ing crops was seen in the growing crop. The group called at the W. Brooks farm, Gonnley, where last fall a repâ€" licated series of plots were laid down with winter wheat. The severities of winter weather were too much for the wheat and it was. necessary to! reseed with cast early in the spring-J Many farmers fear that if winter killing necessitates reseeding of fall wheat, fertilizers added to it are lost. There is abundant evidence on the Brooke farm to convince the most sceptical that this is not the case. In this test 1/3 acre blocks side by side across the field are treated with 0-14-6, 2-12-6, 2-12â€"10, 2â€"12-14, and a. block is left without any fertiizer. This is repeated 4 times with an idea of overcoming the natural variation in soil fertility. As in the other ‘fields‘, it is too early to pass an opin- ‘ion on relative merits of the differ- icn't mixtures, but it was quite evident from the thicker, stronger stand of oats where fertilizers had been ap- plied and from the higher crop, that a considerable difference in yield is bound to result. A week ago the fertilized blocks were well in head and the unfertil- ized blocks were just starting. To- day the whole field is in head but the heads of the fertilized blocks are much further filled with good heavy grain than are those on the unferâ€" tilized blocks. An additional observation in the oat crop was that there was con- siderably less smut in the fertilized than in the unfertilized. Apparently the strengthening of the crop gained by the fertilizer, helped it resist this drisease which makes such attacks on Canadian grain crops. R. E. White, Agricultural Repre- sentative of York County, who was in charge of the trip, called! the at- tention of the audience to the neces- sity of more attention to treating seed for control of smut. Definibe counts showed as high as 25% loss in oat crops due to smut which is readily controlable by seed; treat- ment. On Mr. Gee’s farm there was srtand . Mr. R. J. Bryden, fieldman of the ;Dept. of Chemistry, described in some detail the treatments that had been put on the various blocks and discussed the essential stores of ferâ€" tility that tests revealed in the dif- ferent soils. of the unfertilized areas had not fill- ed to the same extent. When darkness made field obser- vation impossible, the group again assemble& at the home of Mr. F. Gee, Whel‘e Professor Bell gave an address on. newer things in fertility maintenance, which address was i]- lustrated with a splendid set of Ian- ternl slides. In the scheme of fertil- ity demonstrations over 5000 such plots have been conducted through- out the province within the last 5 years. York County has shared since about 100 plots have been lo- cated in this area. Mr. E. K. Hampsmr, of the Potash Company of Canada, complimented the York County farmers highly on the excellency of their crops and farming- methods and pointed out the necessity of more attention to the science of farming as well as the art. Twenty-six rinks competed in the tournament held here on Wednesday including eight rinks from the local club. The greens were in excellent shape and a fine day’s bowling was enjoyed.

The coveted trophy will rest for the com’ ing year in Newmarket, skip Harry Marshall winning out in a. tourna- ment Ifeatured by keenly contested games.
