SPECIAL THE LOWEST PRICES FOR MANY YEARS Telephone 27 by Truck Including Examination Thornhill Weeds in the Pasture Keeping the weeds down in the pasture means work at intervals during the season if they are all to be killed. If left for any length of time, or even for a short time in favorable weather, they will ripen and scatter their seed. This being an extra job‘for which time has to be found somewhere in the midst of the press of work, quick methods are most desirable. The tall growing weeds should first be eliminated, wild carrot, fern and ragweed which can be destroyed by mowing, cutting, grubbing or pulling. Close syste- matic mowing probably accomplishes the most good with the least amount of man labor, and if faithfullly folâ€" lowed will destroy most weeds. There are others such as hawkweed and dandelion} that grow so low as to escape the mower. One effective Way to eradicate such weeds is to apply lime and phosphate fertilizers to the pasture. These help the white clover, which adds nitrogen to the soil and also helps the grass to grow dank enough to smother out the weeds. Soil deficient in plant food cannot produce a good pasture. a possible annual domestic market for over 2,250,000 bushels of good clean malting barley. An increase in livestock holdings would create a demand for considerable barley for feed. Barley yields well in bushels per acre and it is a good crop with which to seed dOWn. The present acreage] should be maintained with more attention given to improve- ment of quality and yield per acre. Hints for Poultrymen The skill and expense involved in the production of eggs culminates in the market price obtained. The aim, therefore, should be to secure the highest price by preserving their freshness and quality. Eggs should be collected at least once daily, and Barley Production The 1935 barley crop in Ontario was the largest since 1930' and is estimated at 16,841,000 bushels: In 1934 the production was 14,741,700 bushels. The acreage was increased from 484,000 acres to 523,000 acres and the yield per acre at 32.2 bushels was 1.8 bushels higher than in the previous year. From the 1935 Canâ€" adian crop about 9,250,000 bushels were exported to the United States, whereas in the years 1930-35 inclu- sive the export to that market was negligible. The average price paid for the 1935 barley crop was 40 cents per bushel compared with 50 cents per bushel in 1934. There is The oat crop in Ontario occupies a lunch larger area than any other cereaL Producfion for 1935 is esfiâ€" mated at 2,376,700 acres, yielding 8556L000 bushds, vdfich is an in- crease of L03fl000 over 1934. QuaL ity was below average due to rapid znatfirfiy. The acreage of oats for the past five years has averaged considerably less than it vvas for the period 1920 to 1925,xwhen a peak of over 8,000,000 acres was reached. The cat crop is one of the good re- liable cereals and the acreage for 1936 should be at least equal to that of 1935. J. R. HERRINGTON 93 Yonge St., Richmpnd Hill C.N.R. Money Order Office AT THE ELEVATOR NEWS AND INFORMATION FOR THE BUSY FARMER Real Estate Insurance Conveyancing Estates Managed Rents Collected during very cold and very warm weather collections should be made at noon and night to avoid freezing or heating. Buckwheat Acreage The acreage of buckwheat in 1935 amounted; to 186,400 acres, as a- gainst 213,900 in 1934, and a ten-year average of 230,800 acres. Total pro- duction in 1935 was estimated at 3,- 896,000 bushels and in 1934 at 4,- 385,000 bushels, with the average yield per acre practically the same in both years. Export movement of this grain to the United States, whidh in some years takes a consid- erable portion of the Canadian out- put, is expected to be negligible in 1936. The price per bushel is quite low this season and per acre returns are not very remunerative. Buck- wheat possesses special merit as a weed-killing crop and provides some financial return from the land at the same time. For this reason, farm- ers will probably, continue to grow a normal acreage. ’ Eggs should be taken at once to a cool cellar where there is a fairly low temperature. It may be advis- able to open one or two Windows and substitute screens covered with cheesecloth for ventilation and to carry off excessive moisture or odour. Dirty eggs should be cleaned with coarse sandpaper, but not washed. Stains may be removed with a little vinegar on a clean cloth. Washing eggs destroys the protective coating and lowers the grade. FAIR AT CLAIREVILLE HIGHLY ‘ SUCCESSFUL Living up to the mottoof the di- rectors of the Toronto Gore Agricul- tural Society, laireville Spring Fair, last week was “bigger and better” in all particulars save One: there were fewer heavy draft horses shown. Decided improvement was reported by the secretary, Ira Cham- pline, in the class and number of lighter horses, and in the number of dairy cattle. Essentially a horse fair, the show lived up to its reputation, and the attendance was slightly in advance of that of last year. Hon. Duncan Marshall, Minister of Agri- culture, opened the fair, and praised the efforts of the directorate in pro- viding a successful agricultural ex- hibition. Deep, roomy nests provided for the hens will reduce breakage. Clean pine shavings have proved the best nest material. Shavings facilitate clean- ing' and form a better cushion in the nest than hay or cut straw. At this season of the year shells are more likely to be brittle and contents of poorer quality due to hair cracks and so called “grass” or dark yolks, and c‘areful candling is advisable if the best prices are to be obtained. Field Peas Production The acreage of field peas in On- tario, which at one time amounted to over 800,000 acres'has shown a steady dicline. In 1935 only 68,700 acres we e grown. Peas have also been grown quite extensively in mix- tures with oats for feed. In view of the fluctuation in yield from year to year, increases in this crop should be made with caution.
