WINNERS Prize Winners of Maple Horticultural Society Flower Show PAGE SIX The Ramans had a phrase for it... So, read the advertisements before you start out buying-trip. Make this a daily habit, and see how I you save â€" in time, in temper, in money, in shoe-leather. A signed advertisement is, in a way, like a promis- sory note. The advertiser has made a statement, and affixed his signature as a .sign of good faith. These guides are the newspaper adVertisements. In this newspaper, they are a catalogue of the best values in townâ€"signed by responsible firms. If the goods are not all that is claimed for them, their sponsors would need to “beware.” For no business can thrive on a one-time sale, or on dissatisfied customers. A shopkeeper knew little about the source of his mer- chandise. This tunic he bought from a trader, who said it came from Byzantium. So he sold it as the latest Byzan- tian style. The trader told him the dye was pure Tyrianâ€" it wouldn’t fade. So he sold it as Trian dyed. But the buyer knew the responsibility was his own. If he guessed wrongly, or his judgement was poor, it was his hard luck. To-day, fortunately, there are safer guides than the blanket-warning to “let your eyes be your market.” “CAVEAT EMPTOR,” meaning “Let the buyer beware.” This wasn’t used as a bit of balm to ease the ancient con- science; nor, yet, was it placarded in the booths and stalls of the market-place. It was a piece of every-day knowledge, born of dear-bcpght experience. Perennialsâ€" 1 A. w 6 6 spike Delphiniumâ€"lst, Mrs. J.

The 1933 esti- mates are 5,329,800 barrels, valued at $10,464,800. The finally revised estimate for 1932 is 3,737,960 barrels valued at $7,007,900.

The practice of letting the lambs wean themselves. is to be discouraged since it prevents the mother getting a Well deserved rest before the mat'ng season, which is necessary for her health and vitality. Young weaned lambs should have the run of some good‘ fresh pasture. A good after-math or a piece of tape that has been sown in the spring will be greatly enjoyed by them. Such a pasture is necessary to avoid] a. check in their growth as a result of the loss of their mother’s milk; it will also help to prevent parasitic in- festation 5‘0 detrimental to growing lambs. ‘ A point interesting to farmers whose fields are crossed by power cables is that -Iightning Voltages- caused by the discharge of a single cloud are estimated to cover 1,000- to 3,000 feet of line on- long circuits. Generally on the urban circuits the voltages are restricted considerably more by the closely-spaced lightning arresters. Early Topping of Turnips The practice of “topping” turnips some weeks before the date of pull- ing, in order to use the Leaves while still green in the feeding of live- stock, has been common in certain parts of the Dominion, and the ques- tion whether it is an economical oper- ation or not has been settled by prac- tical demonstrations. The data ob- tained showed that turnips from the non-topped crops had the higher food value. The inquiry also furnished satisfactory evidence of the marked growth of the untapped crop during the latter weeks of the season, the leaves during this period continuing to function as lungs and stomach, re- sulting in a heavier yield. The pracâ€" tice of topping the crop three weeks or a month prior to the date of pull- ing has shown to result in a lower yield per acre of nutrients, and is therefore non-economic. Peat and Muck as Sources Of Soil Organic Matter When the farm manure supply is not sufficient to maintain the organic matter content of the soil at a. satis- factory level, peat or muck may be used to furnish that important con- stituent. The best way to employ these materials as a sourse of or- ganic matter is to first compost them with manure for a period of four to six months before application or to use them in the air dried condition as a litter to soak up the liquid man- ure in and about the stable. An added advantage in these treatments is that the nitrogen of the peat and muck is, to a large degree, rendered avail- able for plant use.

Eradicating Perennial Weeds The roots of perennial weeds such as Canada thistle and field bindweed often pentrate the ground to depths of four or five feet. The roots of these weeds can send up new Shoots when they are cut off to depths of 18 inches. Deep ploughing, there'- fore, will not eradicate perennial weeds of this type. One method of eradicating deep rooted perennial weeds is to keep down the top growth ty frequent cultivation and exhaust the food stored in the roots. Another is to apply a 10 per cent solution of sodium chlorate at the rate of one gallon per square rod. gfiarness gand Harness iRepairs Now in Every Township Perennial sow thistle, one of the worst weeds with which farmers have to contend, has spread during- the past 25 years until now it is reported in every town-ship in Ontario, accord- ing to A. R. G. Smith of New Ham- burg, supervisor of Weed inspectors of Western Ontario. Perennial Sow Thistle This plant does not produce a bloom the same year that it grows from seed. If you see a perer slow thismle in bloom you may know it was in the field the previous year. This plant can be controlled by fairm practice. The root of the perennial sow thistle will not stand heat. Ex- periments by Prof. J. E. Howitt of the 0‘. A. C., Guelph, showed that where the roots were exposed to the sun by a summer fallow, they would die in one day. Oats and barley are the two spring crops which give the perennial sow thistle a chance to ma- ture at seed. Fall wheat, hay and pasture crops, if harvested in time keep the plant from going to seed. Fall cultivation is not so effective as summer cultivation. The autumn is cooler and dampen.
