A daily feature through out the week, the parade of college livestock, was one of the day’s high. lights. A number of farm organiza tions took the occasion to hold then annual meetings and election of of ficers there during the week. Hun dreds of poultrymen attended meet ings of the Record of fierformancr Association andl Ontario Poultry Fed eration. Altogether it was the most successful Farm and Home Week in the history of O.A.C. and it demonâ€" strates that farmers are coming to have a new appreciation of the value of scientific agriculture. Salt in Hay Curing One tenth of the value of the an- nual hay crop in Canada is lost, due to fire and spoilage caused by heat- ing, according to an estimate made recently by W. J. Scott, Fire Mar- shal for Ontario. Mr. Scott points out that this loss is not entirely the rusult of actual fires. Much of it is accounted for by heating that does not reach the ignition point but dOes destroy the food value, owing to fermentation and bacterial action in the presence of moisture. The early stages of heating in hay are caused largely by moulds and bacteria that occur na- turally in hay. If this is not check- ed .the temperature may rise to a point where chemical reactions are started and more heat is produced, with ultimate ignition. As a preventive measure, Mr. scorn advocates the use of salt, which has long been recognized as a preserva- tive and a retardant of fermentation. If used intelligently it will slow down the heating action in hay and preâ€" vent dangerous temperatures. The amount of salt recommend-ed is up to 20 or 30 pounds per ton of hay. Salt, he points out, will serve not only \as a preventive of heating and spoilage but also will increase the food value to livestock. Roguing of Fields The farmer who is saving clover or timothy fields for seed would be well advised to make \a thorough in- spection of the area to be kept for this purpose and to rogue or pull out any weeds which might be present, particularly weeds, the seeds of which, are difficult to remove from clovers and timothy seed. When one considers the fact that an average 'plant of Ox-eye Daisy may produce 5,000-8,000 seeds, Bladder Campion 10 to 20,000 seeds, Curled Dock 17,- 000, Ribgrass 12,000, Canada Thistle 3,500, and False, Flax 40,000 seeds, we can readily understand how the presence of a very few of these weeds would be sufficient to put the seeds into a rejected grade. Every weed destroyed mean-s thousands of seed destroyed. Hand pulling of weeds is one job in which every member of the family can help, including school children. Plan on going through ‘your fields regularly. ' 1 , It is important that all Weeds be destroyed immediately after picking as there is a possibility of them be- ing so far advanced that seeds will NEWS AND INFORMATION FOR THE BUSY FARMER J. R.

Roguing will greatly increase the value of the resulting seed crop and may mean all the difference between profit and loss. A reasonably clean seed crop will be easier to clean for market, the costs of cleaning to the grower will be greatly lessened and he will be assured of top grades and oetter prices. Sharp Practices in Feed Sales Purchasers should beware of feed sold by the bag with no stipulation as to weight. Some unscrupulous feed dealers have sought to capital- ize on the fact that the one hundred- pound bag unit of feed is so ’c‘om- monly employed that it is taken for granted. Even with fixed weights the volume of bulk feeds varies ac- cording to the nature of the mater- ial or the tightness of packing, and so a lack of uniformity in the size of packed bags does not ordinarily arouse suspicion. It is alleged that some dealers guard against suspi- cion by using bags of the usual height, but less than the usual width, giving the appearance of a full weight package while actually it is a few pounds under weight. The farmer is victimized not only in the quantity of feed which he re- ceives, but likewise in the price per hundred pounds or per ton which he pays. He is also misled in his ra- tion balancing plans, for he common- ly purchases concentrates to suppleâ€" ment and balance farm grown feeds. Even should he detect the shortages he could probably get no redress for the vendor guilty of such practices sells “by the bag” rather than by weight and thus protects himself a- gainst charges of misrepresentation. Include roguing on your farm pro- gramme, a job which must be done. Time and money can be profitably ;pent at this work. Farmers would be well advised, therefore, to purchase feed on a weightâ€"basis rather than a bag-basis and also to check sellers’ weights whenever opportunity permits. By so doing, they would not only protect themselves against the practices de- scribed, but would serve the inter- ests of honorable manufacturers and dealers whose bag-lot prices 'appear out of line when they must offer a one'hundred pound bag of feed in competition with, say, a ninety-three pound bag. Ifi'uit Crop Report Ontario‘s commercial fruit crops were rated at only average on June 15. Early spring hopes for good orchard yields were sharply revised by the Department report for June. Varying temperature conditions and frost in the late spring have dam- aged the fruit prospects. Ontario’s 1936 yields of apples, sour cherries, pears, plums, peaches, grapes and strawberries are now rat- ed' generally below average in tables prepared by S. H. H. Symons, Ag- ricultural Department Statistician. Only bright spots in the fruit fore- casts are sweet cherries and raspâ€" berries. a little below the average mark, and Spy and Stark gEt the best ratings. Bartlett and Keifer pears are re- ported in belowâ€"average condition, especially in Eastern Ontario, where almost all the fruits are below the figures for the rest of the Province. With 3 the average index, grapes are rated at 2.4. The department estimates the grape crop was reâ€" dulced» about 30 pdr cent. by late frosts and hail. The sweet cherry and raspberry crops are best in Southern and Wes- tern Ontario. Throughout the Prov ince the Departmental figures report there has been a 10 per cent. in- crease in raspberry production and Frost and cut worms have been working havoc in veyetable farms but vegetable prospects are better than fruit prospects. Only cauli- flower is irated in a below-average condition. Asparagus, beans, cab- bages, carrots, celery, corn, lettuce, onions, peas, potatoes, spinach and early tomatoes are rated average or above average. a 9 per cent. increase in bearing acreage. The acreage of bearing strawberry plants is well below the figure for a year ago. Snow apples are reported to be showing the poorest prospects. The bulk of the apple varieties are just THE LIBERAL. RICI-mOND HILL, ONTARIO Willowdale United Church School which was organized in 1816 and has continued ever since celebratesflits 120th anniversary this year. A fitt- ing feature for this venerable old institution will be its special sum- mer sessions this year. Under the direction of its superintendent, Wm. Dowson, Willowdale, will endeavour to present a series of Canadian In- dian mission work talks illustrated with coloured slides each Sunday morning in place of the regular les- son period. Other changes will also be made in the order of service. In days gone by Willowdale was a centre of evangelical work. of the early Methodist church ameng the Indians of the then Canadian wilder- ness, and many are the records of camp meetings lasting for days held in the clearing behind the old church to which Indians from as far away as Pen-etang nd Scugog- attended. Willowdale was also a centre of worship for patriots of Wm. Lyon Mackenzie, an association which was epitomized at the last Christmas session by a play by the boys of the Sunday School which was dramatiz- ed from the records of the old com- munity. Some of the lectures during the summer months will be given under the direction of the superintendent who has spent more than 12 sum- mers and winters in the north work- ing as a logger, rivermlan, home- steader and prospector. MOTORING HINTS At this time of year many of us are taking long motor trips and may journey far from beaten paths. A few health hints may be appropri- ate. Carry a first aid kit in your car. One never knows when it will be needed to save a lifeâ€"perhaps your own. This should contain at least a recognized disinfectant for wounds, sterile gauze, cotton band- ages, adhesive and a twist of heavy cord for applying improvised splints. Keep dai‘lc glasses in the car. They will save much eye fatigue, 3 splitt- ing headache and perhaps a spoiled day. In long drives, rest ten minutes every hour. Change drivers every hour, if more than one can drive. Be eternally vigilant against insidu- ous drowfiness. Maintain good ventilation despite dust or rain. Unsuspected carbon monoxide poisoning; has caused many fatalities. Because of the outward direction of so-called “no draught ventilation”, .other windows should be open to minimize the drawmg in of monoxide charged air from be- low. NORTH YONGE $sz OLDEST l SUNDAY SCHOOL | Outside of large "centrewand not always there eitherâ€"it is uncom- mon as yet to find milk pasteurized. Ask if the cowsare tuberculin test- ed. Moreover to minimize the dan- ger of acute dysentery (cholera infantum) milk should not be given to small children unless it is abso- lutely fresh, or has been brought a1- mOSt to the boiling point. In addition to the first aid kit, carry a few handy medicines along; soda-mint tablets, your favorite lax- atives; acetyl-salicylic acid tablets for headache; 10% n-eo-silvol or ar- gyrol for inflamed eyes or a cold in the head; an eye dropper, rubbing alcohol, sunburn applications, spray and solution for warding off mos- quitoes. Carry thermos or other contain- ers with your water suppiy for ocâ€" casional meals. This is safer than dipping the water from wayside streams, no matter how sparkling they appear. Unless quite sure of your drink- ing water, it should be boiled before use or sterilized with the chlorine drop outfits now available from de- partments of health. Unless you know the source of the ice, do not put it directly into liquid refreshments. If sickness comes on when travell- ing it is but natural to endeavuor to “push on” for home or familiar destination. Sometimes this may mean dangerous delay and it is much safer to consult a local doctor, even though a stranger, than to waste precious hours. The local public hospital could submit a list of com- petent doctors for your choice.

Richmond Hill Telephone 133 BARRISTERS-AT-LAW Office Hoursâ€"Every Monday and Thursday Afternoon and by appointment Toronto Office: 100 Adelaide Street West for either driving or walking I APPEAL to the motorists of Ontario to make night driving (and night walking) as safe and enjoyable as driving (or walking) by day. I believe it can be done â€"by the simple expedient of applying the principles of COURTESY. Let us make it an infallible rule to dip or dim our lights when meeting other cars. It will soon become almost automatic for us to do so. Oncoming drivers will respond. Within a very short time, this “deliber- ate gesture” of Courtesy (as it now is) will become a fixed habit. Do not crowd the other Fellow when meeting 01'. passing. If he is inclined to be a nervous driver, he may easily misjudge distance at night. We don’t know. And it costs us nothing to give him several feet of clearance. Let us give pedestrians MORE than ample space for, walking. We have all the advantage when we are driving and the other fellow is afoot. Let us not use that advantage in a bullying way. On the other hand, when we are walking, let us show true courtesy to those who are driving. When we walk WITH traffic, we place ALL the responsibility upon the motorist. Always -walk facing oncoming traffic, and wear or carry something light that the lights of oncoming cars 'will pick up, even if you carry only a partly opened newspaper. These are a few instances only, to demonstrate the SPIRIT of Courtesy which I am suggesting and recommending to the people of Ontario. Practise and preach the golden rule of the roadâ€" “Show to others the same courtesy that you would like to have shown to you”. l3 MINISTER OF HIGHWAYS PROVINCE OF ROSE & HERMAN Time to re-Tire Sincerely yours, THURSDAY.
