Mechanization in the future must Stressing the consideration of mechanization in the treatment of soil erosion and conservation, L. B. Thomson. Superintendent, Dominâ€" ion Experimental Station, Swift Current, Sask., and P. O. Ripley, Dominion Field Husbandman, say in part in the Agricultural Institute Review that mechanization of agriâ€" culture in Canada has endeavored to meet the growing demand for greater efficioncy. In a measure, it has been successful, but the effect of mechanization on the soil has not been recognized in a general way untii recently. There is not a province in Canada that ‘does not have a soil conservation problem of some kind, yet mechanization has developed with little or no considâ€" eration for this fact. To preserve the soil for future generations, meâ€" chanization must be guided so that there will not be a recurrence of the present situation. Abolish one hour parking.

Mechanization in Soil Conservation This is a "farmers‘ town". Let us arrange to accommodate as many of them as possible on Main Street in and near the business sections. * A "wideâ€"open town for the farmers" is the policy adopted by The Times in regard to the Main Street parking problem. * Read this editorial from the Picton Times and then sit down and do a little thinking on this matter. The Times suggests that Picton Council return to "angle parking" be it 30 degree or 5 degree as soon as it is possible to make this change. The soouner the better. Actually the only one that have benefited from the banning of angle parking is the bus company. They now have nearly half the road space in Waterloo to use for parking, and their drivers are not inconvenienced by having to drive out farther in the road because cars parked on an angle. s The same thing has happened since the banning of angle parking. A great many of the farmers who formerly did all their shopping in MWaterloo are now going on to Kitchener for the good and simpler reason that people of today will not park their car several blocks away from where they want to shop, and the farmers are no different from the people in town in this respect. The following editorial is from the Picton Times, and has been very favourably received by the residents of Picton. We here have a problem that is very similar. We are in Waterloo essentially a farmers‘ town. We do everything possible to get the farmers to come to Waterloo to do their buying either for food or for other essentials. Yet at the same time we do everything we can to discourage them. There was the horse shelter, for instance. Certainly it was in the wrong location, but surely some consideration could have been given the farmers in this case and some sort of a place found for them. As it finally turned out, the farmers didn‘t get their horse shelter and the merchants of Waterloo lost some good customers. that there was a 41.5% increase in motor accidents in rural areas, as compared to a 20.9% increase in the urban areas. Property damage in rural areas showed a 61.1% increase as against a 49.0% increase in urban centres. Think faster and clearer and live longer, would be a good rule to abide by. The need for motorists and nonâ€"motorists to observe every preâ€" caution cannot be stressed too strongly, for there is no substitute for care, courtesy and common gense. Probably one of the main reasons for the increase of traffic acciâ€" "You WOULD have to have os dents on the back roads, is the fact that there are now many cars in use that have long passed the time when they are safe to drive. | mmmmmmmmmommporcoeees These "antiques" have poor or no lights, and brakes that probably * wouldn‘t stop the vehicle inside a mile, on a down grade.

QUALITY FIRST IN Figures, based on preâ€"war years, estimate grain losses (excluding Eulses) in Mexico at 12 per cent. rain losses (including rice) in China and India are estimated at seven and five per cent respectiveâ€" ly. Statistical information on world losses is incomplete, but if it runs to the lvern:e of five per cent of annual world production, it would represent about oneâ€"half of these foodstuffs entering world trade. Appraisal of these grave losses will be the first item on th?u&endn of the London meeting, together with the consideration of what measures should be applied in various areas and countries to provide adequate protection for stored foods, such as the provision of improved wareâ€" housing facilities. It is well known that annual losses of stored food through infesâ€" tation reach serious proportions, say the FAO experts on the subâ€" ject. . Under adverse conditions, the onnual loss of grain, pulses, and oil seeds due to infestation may run much higher than 10 per cent in (FAO), has announced that its 47 member governments have been inâ€" some countries.

Farmers interested in pastures areurledwoecureaco?yo( "Guide to Grop Production" and other information from their Agriâ€" cultural Representative or from the Seasonal fluctuations in pasture yields present the problem of surâ€" plus, with consequent waste of otherwise good feed and scarcity later in the season, with a resultâ€" mg decrease in milk production and increase in the feed bill, says ‘John D. MacLeod, Director of the ‘Crops, Seeds and Weeds Branch, ‘Ontario Department of Agriculture. Obviously pastures which give the biggest yields in May and June, says Mr. MacLeod, cannot be exâ€" pected to continue to do so through the months of July and August. A pasture program %o cover the entire pasture season will tend to reduce waste at the peak period and preâ€" vent scarcity during midsummer. Mr. MacLeod gives the following useful suggestions in planning such a pasture program: A small acreage of annual pasture as a supplement to hay aftermath and pasture mixtures is particuâ€" larly useful in unfavorable seasons. !The following annual pasture mixâ€" tures are recommended, (a) Sudan grasss, 30 pounds pgr acre. (b) Oats, two bushels and Sudan grass, 20 pounds per acre. (c) Oats, 2% buâ€" shels and sweet clover, 20 fiounds per acre. If seeded in late May or early June these annual pastures should be productive in July and August. Should the season be unâ€" frvorable for hay aftermath pasâ€" ture, annual pasture may bridge the gap and take its place entirely.
