Notrittontsts say, however, that the food value of wheat is just as great as that of bacon. ] | 2. With long experience of conâ€" | ditions _ in â€" their own territory, prairie farmers have come to accert wheat as their safest crop n some former drought districts, which have Aourished in recent years of good moisture, there is the: }persistem fear of a return of dry comditions with consequent elimiâ€" nation of enlarged livestock herds and probable destruction of crops other than wheat [ 1. Wheakt is a food of inestimable value in feeding hungry Europe. While there are ample wheat stocks on hand, with every indicaâ€" tion of a carryover even at the end of the next crop year on July 21, 1945, world crop conditions are such that a surplus of any kind of food in Canada will give welcome security. However Ottaw« authorities state they are not critical of the westein lirmers‘ decision for two reasons: Prairie tarmers have determined to stay in grain production in spite of the attractive prices now offered for hogs. The margin between feed cost and hog prices has remained comparatively wide and has inâ€" creased tecently as hog prices have advanced Although earlier this year official spokesmen _ said â€" that â€" Canada would be "long on wheat, short on meat", Prairie farmers still prefer to grow wheat rather than hogs. If they have to chaose between wheat and pigs, it will be wheat every time, Government statistics indicated today. Wheat acreage could well be reduced, they said, as major stocks remained on hand in spite of the increase in overseas shipments of the grain ; & ounch, radishes two. bunches for :’ 15 and tomatoes 45 cents a pound Grain Still More Popular Than Hogs in Prairies black berries and gooseben:es were two boxes for 45 cents.

But to find a whole year when the Hogâ€"Feed Margin averaged higher tn at present, one has to go back Â¥o 1930 Labor costs are higher than they used to be. And so is the cost of building a new pig pen. But these are not big items K the cost of ent figure at Winfiifie;:i; _now higher than it has been at any time since war began. _ This calculation shows that for every hundredweight of pork a farmer produces he has a margin of $8.32 above the cost of the barâ€" ley it took to produce that hunâ€" dredweight of pork. Of course, that $2.32 is not all clear groflt Allowâ€" ance must be made for labor and other expenses such as housing. But the point is that the margin of $4 32: hundredâ€"â€"whit_:h is the presâ€" He figures that it takes about 14 bushels of barley to produce one hundred pounds of pork. So he ’rrultiplles by 14 the price of bar]eé and subtracts this from the pri ‘paid per hundredweight for a Bi hog. The difference between these figures is the margin a farmer lmakos on selling barley as pork rether than as grain And in his figuring, he takes into account the advance _ equalization payment made by the Dominion Governâ€" ment to Western Canada barley growers and also the Dominion prs'rln.ium on quality hogs. Economists say that this : is proved by the present hog-barlg ratio, which is explained by Kei Leckie, a Dominion Department of Agriculture economist who was born and brought up on a western Ontario farm which has always kept hogs, and has had more brood sows during the war than ever beâ€" fore, and several more this year than last. In the "Economic Annaâ€" list", he describes the way he finds out when hog raising is %mflub)e. under what he calls the Hog Feed Margin, When does it pay to raise hogs? _ Most farmers %‘ure they can make a profit on hogs when the selling price is well above the cost of feed eaten by the hog. In this calculation they are right: feed is the biggest l;:art of the cost of raisâ€" ing hogs But as neither the cost of feed nor the price of hogs stays steady for long, there are times when hog raising is more profitâ€" able than others, and now is that‘ time. » poses for the 1945â€"1946 crop year. Similar arrangements® are being studied to safeguard the British Columbia feeding program. To augment further these supfllie‘, all exports of oats, feed barley, and feeding grades of wheat have been stopped until sufficiert quantities are in hand to meet all feeding deâ€" mands. Now More Profit In ‘Raising Hogs Arrangements are now being considered in regard to controlling new crop barley shipments so as tc assure sufficient for feeding purâ€" ) With this situation facing the Caâ€" ‘uadian agricultural program, the Feeds Administration has already tiken steps to secure and move reâ€" serve stocks of feeding grains into Eastern positions. Already stocks of oats and feeding wheat have been moved to Collingwood, Midâ€" lend, Port McNicoll, Sarnia, Toronâ€" to, Goderich, and Owen Sound, and Montreal and still larger stocks are in position at Fort William and Port Arthur. l Unless there is a complete crop tailure in Western and Eastern Canâ€" ada, ample supplies of feeds will be available to meet the demands of Canadian live stock feeders in 1945â€"46, states J. G. Davidson, Feeds Administrator. While it is too early in the season to make any definite estimates on quantiâ€" ties of oats, barley and feed to be produced this year, it would apâ€" pear almost certain that the Eastâ€" ern Canadian cl‘og of coarse grains will be considerably less than last year. And while good rains all over Western Canada have improved crop prospects there, it will not be until_near harvest time that any definite figures are obtainable on the western crop. Securing Ample Feed Supplies Important fields of untillable lands that otherâ€" wise might be wasted. As a rule, one or two wires are sufficient to carry the electric current One wire is sufficient for horses and cattle. Two wires are considered preferable for pigs and sheep. The wire can be su’Pportcd by porcelain insulators on 2" by 2" stakes set in thegmundaowm!eecapan adopted for pastures. These fences have many advantages but care is necessary in establishing the equipâ€" ment. Among the advantages are reduction of cost in erecting temâ€" porary fences reduction of expenâ€" diture for wire, posts, and gates, reduction of injury to live stock; the adaptation in the west to windâ€" ing coulees or temporary pasture areas otherwise impractical to fence, and the enclosure in the harm was done to the cattle or the attendant, and the battery was still charged at the end of the season. Observations at the Domâ€" injon Experimental Station at Swift Current, Sask., show that the aniâ€" mals learn very quickly and do not approach a fence even when it is not charged. At Swift Current, a 13â€"plate wet battery was used on recugrout the " mugaper" month t summer | mon last year for pasturing cattle.

M. Ritchie, Chief, Fur Inspection and Grading Services, Dominion Department of Agriculture. The top price paid for wild mink pelts during the season was $67.50; for rench mink $42; marten, $160; flsh-“ er, $185; platinum fox, $230; platiâ€" {num silver fox, $180; white marked ‘silver fox, $140; standard silver| fcx, $105.

Candidum and Marâ€" tagon lilies should be planted in August, the others in September or October, or even later where the ground does not freeze until late. The most commonly recognized symptom of mosaic is the irregular light and dark fleckings on the leaves. In some lilies a distortion Iof the leaves is also seen. Plants showing definite signs of disease should be destroyed or isolated in a part of the garden where there are no other lilies. There is no known cure but it is a fact that: some aphids carry the infection from a.diseased plant to a healthy ore, so these insects should be kept in check by careful spral{ing‘ The irregular mottling of e leaves must not be confused with the reâ€" gular bleaching between the veins of theâ€"leaf of some lilies. This is called chlorosis and is caused .by lack of available iron or magneâ€" sium in the soil. Lily bulbs are | sium in the soil. Lufi, bulbs are best Planted i{: the fall.

It is a very serious disease and because it cannot be seen in the bulbs, it can be easily introduced into the _ggrden_ through an infected bulb. How To Control Lily Mosaic hive, and, after capturing . the swarm, housing it in a new hive on the old stand. If desirable, the parent colony may be broken up into nuclei and each part given a new queen. ’ The parent hive may either be placed on a new stand at once, or allowed to stand alongside the new hive for a week and then moved. The latter is the better way beâ€" cause it adds to the strength of the swarm. All cells should be deâ€" stroyed in the parent colony immeâ€" diately after the swarm has issued to prevent afterâ€"swarming, and a young queen installed. Those who do not care to clip the queen‘s wings may follow the same proâ€" ggdure of moving the â€" old swarm returns, she is relcased. A al‘;een excluder is then placed over e new hive and the supers from the old hive set over it the swarm when it issues but will be found on the hfr(mm‘l near the entrance of the hive. She should be caught and placed in a small cage or box, :nfwhue the swarm is still in the air, the old hive should be moved to one side and a new one, containing drawn comb or full sheets of foundation, put in its place.
