THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1938 NEWS AND INFORMATION FOR THE BUSY FARMER (Furnished by the Ontario Department of Agriculture) Principally through heavy exports | vincial of dressed poultry to the United Kingdom and large shipments of live poultry, chiefly from Ontario, to nearby United States markets, the poultry market in 1937 showed 'a distinct improvement over 1936." Total milk production in 'Canada has shown a steady increase for the past nine years. [During the five- vear period ,1932-36, milk production increased from approximately 15.- 900,000,000 lbs. in 1932 to 16,700,- 000,000 lbs. in 1936, and a further advance of approximately 200 mil- lion Ibs. is indicated for 1937. PLANT-FOOD CONTENTS IN FERTILIZERS The Fertilizers Act requires de- finite guarantes by venders of the plant food content of their fertili- zers, that is, nitrogen. phosphoric acid and potash. In addition, these plant food substances must be in an available form for plant use. There are many kinds of fertilizers on the market today, all of which are de- | pendable if used according to kind | and plant food content on the one hand, and soil and crop require- | will follow from other points in On- Fertilizer Councils are a safe guide in.this respect and may be obtained from the Department of 'Agriculture .for the provinces. CANADIAN [EGGS TO BRITAIN Fresh, Canadian, winter-produced eggs will soon [be making their de- but on the breakfast tables of the people in Great Britain. The first shipment of such eggs-left Montreal on Jan. 5, and totalled fifty corru- gated paper foxes, each box con- taining 15 one-dozen individual car- tons, the eggs being Grade A large. Never before have eggs been export- ed from [Canada in one-dozen car- tons. On Jan. 11 a carload of fresh eggs packed in standard 30-doz. left Montreal and was loaded in the S.S. Beaverbrae at (St. John, N.B. on Jan. (12 for England. This shipment was collected from 15 farmers co- operative egg and poultry associa- tions in Quebec and Eastern On- tario; also from some wholesalers. It is expected similar shipments tario. 'W. A.

The [Ontario De- partment of Agriculture is fully alive to the danger with the result that the Department, through the O.A.C. is undertaking an enlarged program of research and demonstra- tion work for 1938 in soil fertility. In discussing the situation. Dr. G. I. (Christie, President of tke O.A.C. Guelph, points out that many On- tario soils have been farmed more than 100 years. Some have been wisely handled and have become in- creasingly productive. But on the other hand, many have been thor- oughly mined; soils have 4become poor, hard to work, and give low yielding erops. : 40n otter farms, while good practice has been followed, fertility has become unbalanced," says Dr. in Norfolk County by the Chemistry Dept. 0.A.C., which located soils suitable for growing flue-cured to- bacceo. The crop this year sold fer some $15,000,000. Part of Brant and Oxford Counties are being surveyed for tobacco through the co-operation of Central Experimental Farm, Ot- tawa. : : In Durham and Northumberland, Ottawa and I0.A.C. were conducting soil surveys to determine if possible balance of fertility and absence of important elements, said Dr. Chris- tie. The Horticultural Division, Ot- tawa. under IM. B. Davis, was estab- lishing an orchard where definite ex- periments could be carried out over a number of years and serve as a centre of information for apple growers, with special attention paid to orchard management, fertilizing, pruning and handling of fruit. As part of the soil program, a soil testing laboratory was established at the 0.A.C. Last year over 3,500 samples of soil from all over tne prcvince were tested and recom- mendations made to the farmers. A serious situation fin 'Waterloo Coun- ty is being gradually corrected. Ce- real crops were 'attacked by nema- todes, small eel worms which form clusters on the roots and seriously interfere with growth and develop- ment of the plants. [The [County Council leased a badly infected field for ten years where the ©0.A.C. is carrying out research work. Last year there were definite indications that balancing of fertility will cor- rect the trouble and more work is planned for this year. Pasture studies carried out by Ottawa and 0.A.C. Chemistry Dept. have brought to light many new problems in Western and Eastern Ontario. Following up these sur- veys, the fields are fertilized and cattle and sheep are used to check the results. These animals are be- ing fed balanced rations this winter with special attention to mineral needs. These experiments are under way at Ailsa Craig, Holyrood and other points. i As part of this work in the field, a special experiment is being car- ried out in. Oxford «County (with a The |Agricul- tural Representative, Reg. Green, in co-operation with the Ont. Live- has sup- produced and supplied to cheese fac- tories. Results indicate larger re- turns of milk, and the condition of the animals has been improved gen- erally. y 1 'Large areas of Ontario soils some- times described as "fresh water" areas, are deficient in iodine. Horse CLOSE OLD BRIDGE ON ROAD TO OTTAWA Traffic over the old wooden bridge at Beckett's Landing has now been stopped. Workmen 'this week have placed poles across mh ent of the bridge. Th tion of the fridge has been jacked up but it is not known when the work of taking down the bridge will be commenced. The bridge has been replaced by a modern one over the Rideau river about half a mile to the east of Ithe old bridge and cuts off almost a mile of road to Ottawa. | i ¢ swiilg por- FOREIGN CANDY WORTH $838,917 IS IMPORTED AND SOLD IN CANADA Canada's Juliets have a very "sweet tooth" if the consumption of candy in Canada is any criterion and their Romeos apparently take pains to satisfy thle craving for, in 1937, in imported confectionery alone. the substantial total of $838,- 917 was spent. The children, whose passion for candy is stronger than their in- terest in homework, for example, are also generous buyers of the toothsom morsels which come from abroad, and, according to the Na- tional Produced in Canada Assecia- tion, in a statement released today, tle Romeos and the children could, with their parents, country a service by preference for candies Produced in Canada.
