Cockburn calls the attention of ihOSt interested to the following quo- tation from a report of the Domin- ion Department of Agriculture at Ottawa. from which growers may draw their own conclusions. “After two years of below-averâ€" age. crops. an approximately normal potato crop is being: harvested in Canada in 1040. According to the first official estimate. the 1040 po- tato production is placed at 40.839,- 000 cwt. which is 4.400.000 cwt. or 12 per cent above that of 1939. Prince Edward Island and Nova Sco- tia have slightly larger potato Cl‘Ops than in 1939 while Quebec ard New Brunswick show appreciable in- creases.

The Manitoba potato‘ crop was somewhat disappoirting but. in Saskatchewan and Alberta. improvement in yields is reported. The British Columbia potato crop was also somewhat better than in 1939.” No Two Year Term Perth Courier There is one phase. of this pro- vincial desire to institute two-year- term councils. about which there has been very little discussion, but it. has an important bearing on the whole question. The act provides. in the case of a town adopting the two-year-term proposal: “Where a vacancy occurs during the year 1942 in a local board or municipal council of a municipab ity to which this section then ap- plies. thc vacancy shall be filled by a person chosen by a vote of the remaining members of Such local board or municipal council, as the case may be.” This is just another attempt at principal of annual elections; the tain a. new stipulation to the effect that tags attached to potato bags, or to branded potato bags, must in- clude the words “Table Potatoes”.

Potai Situation Prominent Speakerisecnmmend Feeds ,Urge Extreme To increase Ont. Milk Production Booklet issued by Ont. Fred Board contains much valuable informa- tion for dairy farmers. With Ontario being asked to stepi up the production of checse for the food line of war time Great Britain, this increase in production in the final analysis depends on the milk flow of Ontario cows. Farmers may or may not be gctt-l ing the best results from their dairy herds thcsc winter months. This will depend in large measure on feeding methods. The Ontario Feed Board. sponsored by the Ontario Dept. of Agriculture, has issued a handbook of twenty pages on the Feeding and Management of Dairy Cattle which may be obtained free of charge from your local Agricultural Representa- tive. 'It ocntains much valuable lll- formation. i In general, the Feed Board recom- mends feeding according to the l‘e-l quirements of each animal. Fced at‘ regular hours each day-and avoid‘ sudden changes in feeding. Provide, a sufficient supply of fresh water,1 salt and minerals. For dairy cows in milk the Board. advises one pound bay, 2 pounds’ roots and 2 pounds of Silage dailyl for each 100 pounds of live weight or one pound hay and 31!; pounds silage, or 1112 pounds of hay and 4 pounds of roots or 2 pounds to 21/2r pounds of hay. When it comes to meal mixtures, the Board advises the daily feed of one pound of meal mixture for every 3 or 4 pounds of milk producer] daily.l Recommended mixtures are to be found in the handbook. Every far- mer who wants to aid Great Britain to the utmost of his ability, should have a copy of this book. HA RRY SlVITSTON Harry Swirton died at his home near Erin on Sunday. November 24.

Farmers who have musty grain in their bins this fall as a result of continued wet weather during har- vest time. arc advised to use extreme caution in the feeding of this grain to live stock and poultry. Some far- mch who have fed musty grain in fairly large quantity have already experienced difficulty and have sick ’animals on their hands. Whilc no definite research work has been done in Ontario in the feed- ling of musty grain. due to the fact that this province seldom experiences an all-rainy harvest season, the con« ‘ceusus of opinion among Ontario ag- ricultural officials is that not more than 20 percent of a cattle ration should include musty grain and a lower percentage if p0ssible. They point out that there are degrees in “mustiness” and every care should be used in feeding this grain. Rotten grain should be thrown out entirely and not fed at all. Hogs. it was believed, c0uld be fed up to 50 per cent of the ration in grain that was slightly musty, but this too would depend on the degree of mustiness and therefore no spe- cial rule could be laid down for indi- vidual feeding. Each farmer would have to experiment for himself. Only a very small proportiOn could be fed to poultry and the grain would have to be ground and on no account fed whole. Officials stated that farmers who have musty grain would be well ad- vised to put it through the farming mill to dry it out; shovel it over in the bin, or spread it on the barn floor. The quicker it was dried, the better feed it would make. . _ Atthl Freightfl Sheds FIRST CLASS BREAD FLOUR 50”» ALSO MONARCH PASTRY FLOUR CAF‘ETERIA LAYING MASH, O.A.C. Formula MILKMA K’ER O .A .C .
