Canada sold the United States ap- proximately 103,000 head of cattle during 1935, the largest number in many years, and in addition moved across the border approximately 21,â€" 000 head of calves, the largest num- ber of that class since 1930. There were also approximately 6,000,000 lbs. of beef sold to the United States in 1985, as against approximately 330,000 pounds in 1934. Exports to the United States since the lst of January, 1936, up to mid- March have been more moderate than during the corresponding period of 1935 and 'have been made at some- what lower price levels. This situa- tion is reflected in the domestic prices in Canada. Late in February, J. R. HERRINGTON .93 Yonge St., Richmond Hill H C.N.R. Money Order Office Raspberry Plantations Where manure is not applied to raspberry plantations until spring, a cover crop is also advisable to pre- vent too late growth of cane. As the advent of mosaic disease is mak- ing advisable to renew plantations more frequently, the grower who is unable to get large quantities of manure will find that shorter rota- tion lends itself more to the cover crop and mulch system, for each new plantation may be preceeded for a season by a crop of clover or alsike which, when turned over, will leave the soil in excellent condition for the new plantation. This method of re- newal, say every six years, with pro- per green manuring, COVel‘ crop or mulch, and adequate quantities of commercial fertilizers, will render it possible for raspberry growing to take its place beside orcharding, in being- more or less independent of the failing and increasingly expensive supply of manure. I Field Crop Situation i Over 13,000,000 acres of land in Ontario are used for the productior iof field crops, which have a market ivalue of more than $140,000,000 an~ ‘nually. The maintenance of high crop production is closely associated with livestock-raising and other branches of farming. Most of the grain and root crops for the last five-year period are below the acre- age level of a few years ago.‘ Some of the land is in grass. Considera- tion should begiven to the breaking- up of more old meadow lands on which the crop has become thin and weedy. Higher per acre yields, greater purity and better quality in crops harvested would help to in- crease returns. Seedâ€"cleaning plants have been established Within the reach of many farmers and full ad- vantage should be taken of every opportunity to clean and grade the seed which will be used this year. Late Sown Vegetables Fine quality vegetables may be produced from late seeding. Swede turnips, carrots and beets may be sown as late as the middle of June and still have time to develop to a desirable size for winter use. The land should be well prepared and rich in plant food. Should dry conâ€" ditions prevail the seed should be sown on the level rather on ridges NEWS AND INFORMATION FOR THE BUSY FARMER Real Estate Insurance Conveyancing Estates Managed Rents Collected Ontario farmers are deeply inter- ested also in wider markets. A 3111‘- plus of beef cattle, hogshcheese, butâ€" ter, fruit, honey, tobacco,‘ poultry and other products must be sold in other provinces and in markets outside of ‘Canada. For instance, of the beef leattle exported to the United States in 1935, Ontario farmers supplied nearly 30 per cent, while nearly 74 per cent'of the cheese produced in Canada was made in Ontario fac- tories. In the export of many mill- ions of pounds of bacon and lard to Great Britain, United States and other countries during the past year, Ontario producers have played an important part, since on their farms have been produced nearly 37 per cent ’of the total hogs raised in Can- ada. One of the features is a survey of the extent and important of Onâ€" tario agriculture. More than 39 per cent of Ontario’s population live on the 192,000 farms. In 1935 Ontario agricultural products were valued at over $300,000,000. The new wealth created through farm output and the increased buying power of this large farm group has an important bear- ing on the welfare and progress of trade and commerce. Ontario farmers are favoured and receive a direct benefit from the 10- cal market. Ontario has a popula- tion of 3,500,000 {which receives near- ly 41 per cent of the total income of Canada. It is estimated that 41 per cent of all Canadian sales of food products to consumers are made by Ontario stores. It is important therefore to Ontario producers to cater to the home demand and, to place upon the Ontario market the highest quality foodstuffs which are always in keen demand. Crops and Markets “The Ontario Agricultural Outlook Report 1936” is the title of a very interesting booklet summarizing- crop prospects for the current year, re- cently issued by the Department in cooperation with the Ontario Agri- cultural College. Copies can be se- o‘ured from the Department or through your local agricultural repre- sentative. Brief extracts from the booklet will appear in this column during the next few weeks. Some of the worst seeds are so prolific in the production of seeds that relatively clean fields may be- come badly contaminated in two or three years if the weeds are allowed to go to seed. For instance, a single plant of wild mustard, stinkweed, foxtail, pigweed or campion produces from 10,000 to 20,000 seeds; worm- seed mustard about 25,000; shep- herd’s purse about 50,000 and tumbl- ing mustard about 1,500,000. With such productiveness, soils become quickly infested with weed seeds, al- though, on account of their incon- spicuousness, their presence is not fully realized. warm The germination of weeds, as well as other seeds, is affected by heat. Many kinds of weed seeds, such as some grasses and mustard will get- minate in the late autumn or early spring when the soil is cold. Others, such as buckwheat and lamb’s quar- ters, require a-warmer soil, and the seeds of foxtail and purslane continue dormant until stimulated by the heat of summer. Late autumn or early spring cultivation is not effective in destroying the seeds of weeds that will not germinate unless the soil is Weed Seeds on Farms The seeds of most annual :weeds when embedded in the soil retain their vitality for several years. The seeds of the mustard family and oth- ers, when ploughed down after ripen- ing, seldom germinate the following year and not until they are brought near the surface by further cultiva- tion. Light surface cultivation dur- ing the early autumn serves to stim- ulate germination in freshly ripen- ing weed seeds. Thus, a consider- able proportion of them may be de- stroyed, while, on the other hand, by deep ploughing the difficulty is sim- ply deferred to succeeding years. order-bought cattle were going for- ward to Great Britain in moderate volume, with bookings to the extent of between 2,500 and 3,000 head ex- tending to the middle of April. The outcome of these shipments will not neceSSarily determine the direction of export movement during the rest 3f the year. An upward reaction to prices is expected as the year advances. The :ituation as it existed during the first quarter of 1936 was therefore complex and rather hard to analyse. Undoubtedly, some further increase in cattle marketings in Canada over the very substantial increase which occurred in 1935 is anticipated. THE LIBERAL, RICHMOND HILL, ONTARIO She said to the girls “If there is something ybu really want to do, work hard and you will accomplish it.” She advised mothers to have their children tell them stories. “It will help develop their imagination,” she explained. “If your daughter has a,speech to give at/school, let her make it before you. That would be better than having her shut herself up in a room and talk to bare walls.” “It is a mistake for mothers to live entirely for their children,” said Mrs. Gardner. “They should maintain some outside interests, such as the Church, to which they can turn, when their children grow up and leave home.” Mrs. W. A. Newall is leader of Knox Presbyterian Girls in Train- ing, with Miss Agnes Davidson as assistant. Under their efficient guid- ance marked progress has been made, the membership having trebled since organization in 1931. -ASHES- The girls were honor-ed in having as guest speaker Elsie Bell Gardner, noted authoress of the “Maxi-e” books and lecturer. Holding her audience spellbound, she told humorously of her childhood in Trinidad where her father was a British officer, also of' her education later in Scotland. The toast to “The King," “The Church” and “The Canadian Girls in Training” were proposed by Lolrine Elliott, Marion Little and Ainslie Hood respectively. Mrs. W. B. Dav- idson responded to the toast to “The Church.” Assisting in the program of music were Miss Nellie Clark, Jean Muirhead, Margaret McCowan and Marion Little. Margaret McGowan was toast mistress. She strongly commended the C. G. I. T. organization which is training girls to take their places in life. “They will not develop an inferiority complex. When asked later in life to speak at a W.M.S. meeting, they will not be afraid of their own voices,” said Mrs. Gardner. The C. G. I. T. Mother and Daugh- ter banquet held in Knox Presby- terian Church on Friday evening, May 15th was a pronounced success. The tables, gain decorated with spring flowers and cunning- C.G.I.T. favors, were most alluring as was the sumptuous banquet. Rev. A. H. Halbert of Newton- brook was the evening preacher. A former Pastor, he was most cordially welcomed back to renew former friendships and to bring a strong Gospel message based on the famil- iar words “Be sure your sin will find you out,” and unfoldedr in the stories of “The Good Shepherd” and “The Prodigal’s Father." Monday night the Hall was packed to capacity to see the Laskay Dra- matic Club present a 3 Act Comedy Drama “The Purple Tantrum.” These young people achieved marked suc- cess with “Wild Ginger,” presenting it 24 times. But the general con- census of opinion is that this play excells any former production. The characters are well chosen, no one particular star, but all playing good parts well. The story carries inter- est through to the end, there is not a dull moment for it is rich in good humour. An interesting feature of this ev- ening was a presentation to the two Directors of the Play, Mrs. Boys and Rev. Davis. To Mrs. Boys was given a beautiful silk dressing gown and slippers and to our Minister, Rev. Davis, a beautiful floor lamp. Suit- able replies were made by both and the evening closed with the National Anthem. Laskay Church Anniversary Ser- vices drew record attendances to the United Church there. It was the holiday weekend and the weather was of the best and friends from near and far gathered with the reg- ular congregation for these special services. Mr. Gratton Riggs and his Choral group from Toronto gave generously of their talent. The ren- dering of the sacred selections dis- played careful training and harmon- izing. They gave a real musical feast. Rev. T. W. F. G. Andrews of Trin- ity Church, Newmarket, was the af- ternoon preacher. His message was a direct challenge to live the Chris- tian Life. First by self-examination and then in response to the teaching of Christ, a commitment of heart, mind, soul and strength.
