Foremost among the in- sects that help the gardener are the different kinds of ladybird beetles. Both in their larval and adult stages, they feed almost exclusively upon plant lice and scale insects. Another kind of beetle, the fiery ground beetle is a particularly useful insect. This budtle and its voracious grub, which is called the cut worm lion, destroy enormous numbers of cutworms. The beetle Is brownishâ€"black, with the wing-cases spotted with coppery red â€"hence its name. The large harpâ€" alus beetle, which is very common, destroys cutworms. The ditfferent kinds of lacewing, and other two and four winged parasitic flies are also friends of the gardener. question has. been studied by engi- neers who have given out the foll- owing statement: “It will take a greater force to pull a four-bottom plough having 14- inch bottoms, than a threeâ€"bottom 16-inch plough. The force will be almost directly in proportion to the total width of ploughing, assuming that the depth and other conditions are the same. “In tests, practically no difference in the draft per unit width of fur- row has been found, regardless of the width of the plough bottoms. In- asmuch as the four-bottom 14-inch plough takes a total Width of 56 inches, and a plough of three 16-inch bottoms takes a total width of only 48 inches. it is reasonable to expect that the four-bottom will pull heav- ier." Gardeners’ Insect Friends All garden insects are not injuri- ous. In fact many of them are bene- ficial. continually doing good by deâ€" sGwnIY1'nn fhnca SIN-Ides which are Draft of Ploughs Farmers often wonder whether more power is required to pull a plough with four 14-inch bottoms or one with three 16-inch bottoms. This Complaints that wells in Western Ontario have been lower than usual have prompted a survey by Col. R. B. Harkness, provincial natural gas commissioner. Farmers have report- ed a steady receding of waters in Ontario. Many farmers have had to deepen their wells or drill in new locations and a new source of water supply is sought, It was pointed out that new regu- lations, requiring all well-drillers to make a log of soil through which they were passing and at what lev- els they were striking water, had proved of great assistance in this connection. Ontario Agricultural College offi cials commentinf on the water short- age in Western Ontario said assist- ance had been given to many farm- ers in the way of information on most suitable locations to bore wells. Data obtained along this line makes it appear that the static level has been dropping in the last few years, attributed to lack of rainfall. In the last three years it is esti- mated the level is 13 inches below normal of the level of the past 20 years. Crops For Rolling Lands Permanent pastures are extensiveâ€" ly grown on rolling lands. Canada blue grass, red top, Kentucky blue grass and white clover are useful for this purpose. The first men- tioned grass is of particular value where the soil tends to dry out in summer. The common mixture of red clover, alsike and timothy may be sown for hay and the timothy left down for a number of years. Alfalfa is. an excellent crop for hill- sides and is to be desired over other crops where it will grow success- fully. In order to receive a good stand of this permanent hay crop, liming may be necessary on SOme soils. Oats, rye, wheat and corn are crops frequently grown with success on rolling land's, but these crops are not as effective in controlling ero- sion as hay and pasture crops. If satisfactory crop yields are to be se- cured, fanm manure must be applied at seasons when it can be ploughed under before any loss of fertility takes place. Fall and winter appli- cations of manure (farm or commer- cial fertilizer) are not desirable ex- cept on level land because of the great loss of fertility which is liable to occur from spring- run-off. cases. Roots and corn have respond- ed wonderfully to the rainfall, but more moisture is needed. l HURON: Farmers are busy with Current Crop Report Some excerpts from most recent crop reports by agricultural repre- sentatives follow: BRUCE: Spring grains have im- proved since the rain and prospects are for a fair yield. Fall wheat is yielding 30 to 35 bushels in SOme NEWS AND INFORMATION FOR THE BUSY FARMER Well Survey in Ontario wheat threshing and the average yield in this. district will run close to 30 bus. Dealers are paying 90 cents per bushel, but the majority of farmers are holding in expecta- tion of higher prices. NORTH SIMCO-E: This district can still be reported as in a condi- tion of drought. All late crops need rain badly. Wheat and barley threshâ€" ing is. general and early oats are being cut. WELLINGTON: The harvest is in full swing in the south end of the county. The oat crop is not a good one and in many cases the crop is a near failure. In the north section fair crops of oats and barley will be harvested. Yields of wheat are running 30 to 35 bushels per acre. with a reasonably good sample. LAMBTON: Pastures are burned brown and dried out. Many farmers are supplementing pastures by grain“- ing their cattle, others are feeding hay. Many others. have turned their cows on second crop alfalfa fields. HALDIM‘AND: Fall wheat yields of as high as 35 bushels per acre have been reported, but the oat and barley yield will be materially reâ€" duced. Pastures and all crops are still in need of moisture. LINCOLN: In spite of dry past- ures most of the livestock is in fairly good condition. Dairy cattle are be- ing fed grain and hay in the stable to keep up the supply of milk. Wheat yields vary from 10 to 40 bushels per acre, the quality very good. The oat crop will be short. MIDDLESEX: Some sections still have had no rain for several weeks. Spring grains will be extremely var- iable in yield with some fields on light poor land almosi a total fail- ure, but with early sown crops on rich, well-prepared land giving high yields. ~ ' OXFORD: The extreme heat re- duced the milk yield- by approximate- ly 30% and lowered the milk test as well. However recent reports in- dicate both production and test have returned to normal. The corn crop has been hard hit (by dry weather and- unless rain comes soon, a good deal of the crop will be very short. The cost of staging the Canadian National Exhibition is one million dollars each ytear. The exhibitars expend huge sums which, together with the amount disbursed by the Exhibition, make a staggering total. WELLAND: Harvesting of wheat is finished. Average will be pOSSibly 15 to 20 bushels per acre. NORTHUMBERLAND : Farmers are cutting oats, which in the main are quite green but due to lack of rain will not fill any more. A lot of cats will be fed in the sheaf this year. New seeding is now just about year. New seeding completely ruined. PRINCE EDWARD: Corn and to- matoes have hung on well, but rain must come soon to make them good crops.

ONTARIO “Crown Strollers” Absent; From Provincial Highways; TAKING POINTERS ‘BACK HOME’ Toronto, Aug. 10.â€"There are no crown strollers on Ontario’s high- ways. This remarkable discovery was made last week by Graham Lyon, enthusiastic English motorist who or- ganized the cavalcade of 33 British automobiles which toured Ontario under the auspices of the Junior Car Club of Great Britain. British Motor Cavalcade Praises Courtesy of Ontario Drivers “Ontario's drivers certainly seem to be taking courtesy to heart,” Mr. Lyon commented. “In fact, during our brief trip through Ontario we have picked up several pointers about courteous driving which we intend to take back to England with us. Ab- sence of crown strollers was only one splendid feature we noticed. Absence of “crown strollers" was the feature that pleased the British drivers most about Ontario, and they heartily commended the courtesy of the motorists they encountered along the province’s roads. ‘ Mr. Lyon has observed the “Try Courtesy" campaign being conducted in Ontario's newspapers and on bill- boards by Hon. '1‘. B. McQuesten, minister of highways. “Crown strollers,” Mr. Lyon con- tinued, grinning at the puzzlement of his Canadian listeners, “are a great nuisance on the roads in Britain. No, they are neither brands of wandering royal minstrels nor crop-destroyers like grasshoppers, though they might well be called a ‘rural plague’. “In Britain," he explained, “we call any motor driver a crown stroller who ambles slowly through the coun- try on the middle of the pavement, making it difficult for anyone to pass him. He accepts a toot of the horn as a challenge to maintain his obstructive position. I believe you have another name for him here, but for the moment it has slipped my mind.” When told that such drivers were invariably tagged “road hogs,” Mr. Lyon exclaimed: “Yes, that’s the name, but so far on our trip we haven’t encounteredI a single one.” “What surprised and pleased us most was the alacrity with which motorists in front reSponded to a signal by pulling over to the right immediately to let us pass. Often they would pull over without even being signalled. This, puzzled us for some time until we realized they were on the lookout for approaching cars in the rear-view mirror, and when they could see we were going faster than they were, would cour- teously move to the side of the road' to let us go by. “Your police officers, were the mo- del of helpfulness and courtesy and your considerate truck drivers were a revelation to us from England, where we still are burdened on the roads with the ‘old-fashioned’ type of truck driver. oliir: Lyon alsoihad words of praise for the thoroughness with which all road conditions on the highways: here were marked by signs “which even 9 ohm mnid understand and foll- “During the small amount of night driving some of our cars did, we were amazed at the large percentâ€" age of motorists who dimmed their lights to avoid glare and mishaps.” “We had no difficulty,” he con- cluded, “in gauging curves in the road, following the ‘King’s Highway’ through towns, and the blackâ€"and- white checkerboards and the red prism-reflectors guided us safely through the tricky spots along the way.
