F. BURR Telephmle 27 Including Examination Value of Farm Manure Farm manure naturally consti- tutes a very valuable by-product on the average farm. This, however, is not; always evident, judging from the The Southern part of the United States has experienced extremely unâ€" favourable growing conditions for their early crop. Yields are very lmuch reduced and supplies from that ‘source are limited and available only at high 'prices. Stocks of old pdtaâ€" toes are practically depleted in Easâ€" tern Canada and in the United States. Prices of old potatoes in Ontario have risen from $1.45 per bag- to farmers on May 26th to $2.50 on June 9th. Prices are expected to continue at a fairly high level until the new crop is on the mar- ket. The Potato Situation The early crop in Southern 0n- tario was planted ten days later than usual and growing conditions during ‘April were not favourable. In the ‘first part of May. temperatures were higher than normal and development progressed rapidly. This period was followed by damaging frosts in some districts which froze the tops and delayed maturity of the crop by ten days or more. Affer this set-back the weather was cold and dry during the last two weeks of May, result- ing- in slow recovery. New potatoes will not move to market in any vol- ume before July 15th. AT THE ELEVATOR 3 Sugar Beet Crop The 1936 acreage of sugar beets Iin South-Western Ontario is approx- imately the same as in 1935, when 36,000 acres were sown. There was fless seeding done in April than in the average season owing to a relaâ€" itively late spring, and the bulk of 1the crop was seeded during the first Tthree weeks of May. It is estimat- ,ed that 95 per cent. of the seeding ‘was completed by the first of June. The soil was in good condition dur- ing the‘ first half of May, but be- came quite dry towards the eT1d of the month. In the sugar beet terri« tor-y, the rainfall during May a- mounted to only one-fifth of the long-time average precipitation. Moisture is needed for germination of the late seeding. I J. R. HERRINGTON ‘93 Yonge St., Richmond Hill I The acreages of field crops, ir particular, are the real foundatior iof our scheme of agricultural pro iduction statistics. Only slightly less ‘important in our national planning is the necessity of having correc’r knowledge of the numbers of live stock on farms. The accuracy of compilations in both these classes is largely dependent upon the obtain- ing of completed cards from :1 fair sample of the total number of Can- adian farms. CNJZ.

The Forests Branch wishes to con- ‘tact owners, of woodland adjacent to a road, who are willing to have it designated a' demonstration. Write The Foresrts' Branch, Parliament Buildings, Toronto or the local coun- ty agricultural‘ representative. 'It is a eo-operativ‘e scheme be- tween the owner and The Forests Branch. A forester goes over the woods with the owner and advises ‘him on forestry principles that may be applied advantageously to his woodlot. The owner does the work at his convenience. The scheme may be terminated at any time by the owner or The Forests Branch as no papers are signed. The woodlot has an important! place in the economic set-up of the, farm, as it supplies the farmhouse with fuel, lumber for building, maple syrup for the table, protects adja- cent agricultural crops in winter and :- summer, helps to prevent floods and; beautifies the countryside. The woodlots are along or Within! 10-20 rods of‘a road and a demon- stration woodlot sign has been pIac-.é ed Where it may be seen. The purpose of demonstration woodlots is to draw attention to ef- ificiently managed woodlots. There is a great diversity of woodlot man- agement. Many of the practices have been handed down from pion- eer days. They were alright when' the object was to clear the land for cropping and timber and fuelwood had very little value. Today the ob- ject, generally, is to leave the land in woodland, as most realize that a percentage of an agricultural area‘ should be left in woods. Demonstration \Voodlots By I. C. Marritt ! The Forests Branch have selected ‘170 farmers’ woodlots in Ontario as ‘demonstrations. Most of them are lexamples of woodlots that have been protected from stock, and have had careful and efficient management for years. Some are in such condi- tion that thinnings and improvement cuttings will improve greatly grow- ing conditions. Others have been p‘asrtured and they have been fenced from stock in; order that they will restock naturally with small trees. Valuable species are being planted in others where natural restocking is delayed, as windbreaks and to in- crease the future value of the wood- lot by introducing valuable species such as pine, spruce, ash and wal- nut. FAVQRITE TESTED RECIPE In order to determine the actual xenefit derived from the application of manure in a regular fourâ€"year "otation, including oats, barley, clo- ver hay and timothy hay, an experi- ment was started in 1925 at the Exâ€" perimental Station, Kapuskasing, 0n- tario. One area was manured at the rate of sixteen ton-s, divided into two applications. One of 8 tons be- ing disced in for the barley crop and a second of 8 tons given to the tim- othy meadow as a top dressing. The lother area received no manure of any kind. Over a ten-year period ‘the percentage increase for the diff- erent crops on the rotation receiv- ing the manure was as follows oats, 45.4; barley, 43.9; clover hay, 78.5; and timothy hay, 115.1. When the increase in yields of the various‘ crops are valued at market prices,l the cash return from the manure ap-1 plied would be $1.65 per ton.

Inasmuch as “nine and one-half of the last twelve tribes‘ of Israel are found in America and‘ England, the destinies of those two nations are directly traceable to the ancient teachings.” “When that time comes,” he said, “we shall enter into the period of the greatest prosperity the world has ever knownâ€"an era without bank failures and market crashei.” “Nations of the world are swiftly moving towards unity,” he said. “I hope to live to see the time when there Will be a. single, universal conâ€" troL “I rely on Biblical statements, made 8,000 years ago,” he replied without compunction. He explained he is a believer in the Bible and its prophe- cies, which he says \has been “con- sistently proven by time.” He is the author of “The Doctrine of the British Empire and the Unit- ed States,” a book originally distrib- uted to government officials through- out the world and today in its elev- enth printing. It deals with the trend of major nations, based upon Bibli- cal statements. “How do you know these things?” the Colonel who is returning irom Australia and New Zealand to his home in Toronto, was asked. He chose the top deck of a luxur- ious liner, instead of Mount Sinai for his utterings, but the grave Colonel! was none the less convinced in his astounding beliefs about the near future, which he voiced to In- ternational News Service as he rode into San Francisco aboard the liner Mariposa.

On July let, 1836, Canada's first steam train was oper- ated between Laprairie‘and St. Johns, Quebec, over the Champlain and St. Lawrence Railway, the first link in the chain of railways which new con- stitute the Canadian National System. The opening was made the occasion for a gala celebration at which tribute was paid by the leading citizens of Lower Canada to the founders of the Company. These far-seeing men, whose immediate object was the creation of a transportation link be- tween Montreal and New York, were pioneers of Canada's development.
