ONTARIO OUTLINES BEST METHODS SEEDING HAY, PASTURES In the next few weeks nearly 2,- 000,000 acres of grassland crops will ‘be seeded in Ontario states Dr. 0. McConkey, Field H'usbandry Dept. O.A.C., Guelph. These crops furn- isrh the cheapest feed for livestock in winter and summer. There is a heavy investment for seed, and it is important, especially under present war conditions, that every precau- tion be taken in seeding andl cultiâ€" vation to raise productive crops of high feeding value of hay and pas- ture in order to produce livestock fMuyst raise productive crops of high feeding value to produce'livestock ‘ at low cost, states Dr. 0.

Have a soil test made and apply manure and the required fertilizer before seeding, as poor catches are often traced to soils low in fertil- ity and organic matter, advises Dr. MdConkey. The minerals, lime, potash, and esâ€" pecially phosphorus are very im- portant in securing a good catch. Build up the soil‘ organic matter which holds moisture around the young seedlings over critical per- The depth of seeding is important. The small seeds, Timothy, Alsike, Red Clover, require to be _seeded shal- low, not more than one inch in depth while the larger seeds, Alfalfa, Or- chard grass and Brome, can be seed- ed through the drill mixed with the grain. In dry seasons and on dry soil types or in the heavy clay regions, deep seeding is often the most suc- cessful. A good method in these cases is to seed the large seeds, Alfalfa, Orchard or Brome, through the drill with the grain and» broad- cast the Timothy, Red Cloyer, and Aisike in the ordinary way from the grass seeder attachment. Firm the seed bed (before the drill and after, if necessary, with a roller or better still a cultipacker. Ex- periments have shown that the oper- ation of firming the soil is very im- portant, increasing the stand more than 30 per cent. Nurse crops should be sown lighltw 1y (because heavy overhead crops compete with and shade out the young seedlings.

MacLeod, Ont. Dept. of Agriculture. The destruction of annual weeds in the seedling stage ‘.by the use of the weeder or harrow has much to commend it, says- John D. MaoLeod, On Saturday, May 18th at the United Church parsonage, King, Rev. Douglas Davis united in marriage Wilretta Louis-e Simpson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Simpson of 1Aurora to David Elwin Paton of Laskay, son of Mr. and Mrs. Elias- lPaton of King township. The coup-1e lwill reside at Laskay. A son was ‘born May 15th to Rev. E. W. G. Worrall and Mrs. Worrall at York County Hospital. Crops, Seeds and Weeds Branch, Ont. Dept. of Agriculture. A weed- er is preferred but the lever barrow or diamond toothed barrow may be used with care. When spring grain crops and fall wheat which have not ‘been seeded down are up 2 to 4 inches the weed- er may be used, preferably with the rows, in the afternoon when plants are not so brittle. This- stirring 0 the surface soil breaks the crust, forms a mulch, therelby conserving moisture and destroys many annual weeds in the seedling stage. This method: should never be employed immediately following a rain. The weed population in hoed crops such as corn and potatoes may be reduced to a minimum by the use of the weeder or harrow soon after planting and continued until the crop is 3 to 4 inches high. The weeder may even be used on sugar beets, mangels and turnips just after they are up in the drills and will prove very helpful in controlling weeds without injuring the crop. This method is a practical one which has been adopted 'by many farmers throughout the Province with excellent results. The Thomps-on-BeynomSheppard locality, on. the second, was the cen- tre of cyclone havoc on Sunday. Clayton Beynon saw the roof and siding of his barn carried: off by the’ cyclone forty rods away. The metal roofing caused near damage to the house. Nelson Thompson lost roofâ€" ing from buildings and Geo. Thomp- son also suffered damage to prop- erty. One of the Sheppard barns contributed its bit. King City had plenty of wind and rain. but farther west the storm eased considerably.

Members of King Women’s Insti- tute heard an educational address concerning a P.S. Course of Study by Inspector C. A. Lapp, last week. A brief review of the course pointed to the constructive and broadening influence within its scope. The schools of yesterday emphasized pacivity in the child and activity in the teacher. Today the reverse ex- ists.
