Barley is recognized as an excellent feed for many classes of live stock, and a pre-eminent feed for hogs, according to the report of the Special Barley Committee, sub- mitted to the National Barley Com- mittee at its annual meeting held recently in Toronto. What about the individual farm- er’s seed supply? If it is being pur- chased, he has the option of buying either Registered or Commercial seed of grade N0. 1, No. 2 or No. 3 quality. If farmers are using their own seed and are within reasonable dist- ance of a central seed cleaning plant, it would surely pay to have their seed cleaned in such a plant. These plants are usually equipped with modern power seed cleaning ma- chines and operated by an expert in seed cleaning. If the old hand fan- ning mill is to be used, it should be hauled out from under the bags in the dark corner of the granary or storage shed and oiled, the screens carefully examined and any necess- ary repairs made. In cleaning seed, it is most important to use' screens that will remove harmful weed seeds as well as dirt and chaff. There is widespread support for an increase in hog numbers on a scale sufficient to absorb many additional millions of bushels of barley or other feed cereals, the report says. The po- tential outlet for providing an im- proved finish on meat animals is greater than may be generally ap- preciated. It has been estimated that it would require between seven and eight million bushels of grain to pro- duce a desirable finish on the annual supply of poultry alone that comes to the Canadian market. Only a small portion of this is being used. Corn is the only imported feed that competes directly with barley. Clean Seed Important Farmers at this time of year na- turally become seed minded. Good seed sown early, other things being favourable, such as soil and climate, means good crops, and good crops are the basis of successful farming. Current Crop Report Fall wheat generally came through the winter in good condition, al- though in many districts the cold weather during most of April caused some setback. Considerable plowing has been done already. Warmer wea- ther and showers during the past week have helped the crop outlook immeasurably, with spring seeding under way in most districts. First spray has been applied in numerous fruit areas and orchards are receiv- ing their first cultivation. Lincoln County reports that potatoes have been planted on lighter soils below the escarpment and considerable acreage of head lettuce and early cabbage, beets and onions transâ€" planted. A big increase in the deâ€" mand for head lettuce is anticipatâ€" ed there. Brant County reports the recent sale of two carloads of H01â€" stein cattle at a fairly good price. Horses are still’ in good demand there, the best horses selling as high as $250. Oown in Grenville County American buyers shipped two carâ€" loads of Holsteins, with prices rangâ€" ing from $85 for topâ€"grades to $125 for pure-breds. Sheep-Dipping Time In recent years there has been a remarkable improvement in the wool clip of Canada, due in a large mea- sure to regular dip’ping‘ of the sheep and more careful feeding methods There are two external parasites common to sheep\, namely, ticks and lice. Sheep ticks are recognized as being the most common pest, but both ticks and lice cause serious loss of wool and give the flock a very unsightly appearance. These pests sap the vitality of the ewe flock'and young lambs, reducing their condition. In slightly affected flocks the ravages of the pests are not so evident, but cases have been known where death has resulted through heavy infestation. Dipping is the precaution and cure. Dipping time, or at least the best time for dipping, has arrived because sheep should be treated immediatelv after shearing. Nowadays. with the advent of modern arsenic powder dips, dipping is a simple task and all necessary information is easily obtainable from the Dominion and Provincial Departments of Agricul- ture and from the Canadian (kw-op- erative Wool Growers. For a small flock it is not necessary to construct an elaborate dipping plant. fields and the gathering and burn- ing or plowing under of com rem- nants where ever these may be. Such measures are vastly cheaper than spraying or the use oi’ any kind of insecticide could possibly be and are the most logical and sensible method‘ of control. | A barrel large ‘enough to hold suf- ficient liquid to immerse a sheep will answer the purpose. A small trough, say 5 feet 6 inches long, 20 inches deep, 20W inches wide at the bottom, and 24 inches wide at the top has proved its efficiency on many occasions, and a small draining plat- form can be built without trouble, Where the dipped sheep can be al- lowed to stand for a. few minutes until the dip drains out of the fleece and back into the dipping utensil. In the case of an odd sheep where there is no flock and no tank avail- able, dusting with insect powders specially manufactured for the pur- pose has proven effective but re- quires time and patience. Any kind of insect powder will not do. Corn Borer Warning (Continued) ‘ , Growers in counties under the Corn Borer Act are urged to co-op- erate with the inspectors and not wait to be forced to clean up their fields. They should remember too that standing corn or long stubble cannot be plowed under completely by any plan; used on the ordinary farm. Hence the standing corn must first be cut low with a hoe or mower or some other implement and then gathered and’ burned before plowing. Long stubble may be cut with a mower, or be disced twice to break it up; or a leveller composed of four planks lapped one on the other and firmly nailed together may be run both ways over it; or even a roadâ€" scraper may be used. Then the plow- ing should be done carefully and a skimmer or chain used to roll,the refuse into\the furrow. If proper care and thought are given to the work very little hand-picking- will be necessary. Hundreds, or even thou- sands, of men treat their stubble so well they never have to do any hand- picking'. Such men of course avoid necessary. Hundreds, or even thou- sands, of men treat their stubble so well they never have to do any hand- picking‘. Such men of course avoid the use of toothed implements after plowing and use only discs and disc drills. V The corn borer is just as danger- ous an insect today as it was ten years ago and given a series of years of weather favorable to its increase nothing can hold it in check except a good clean-up of all corn stubble THE LIBERAL, RICHMOND HILL, ONTARIO Thornhill Motors 163-167 Yonge St., Toronto, up stairs, opp. Simpsons.

Farmers are gradually becoming accustomed to cleaning up their fields and it is gratifying when one drives from say Windsor to Belle- ville about the 10th f June to see how few stubble or 0 her corn rem- nants are left on the fields com- pared with the number there used to be before the Corn Borer Act came into force.
