There would seem to be a deâ€" finite trend toward making ferâ€" tilizer better suited to soil and crop requirements, and it is beâ€" lieved that the industry is on the right track in coâ€"operating fully in this respect with the crop and soil specialists of the Provincial and Dominion Departments of Agriculture and the colleges and universities. Such relationship is bound to result in bringing to the fore the latest information on crop and soil needs and gives the industry a chance to adjust its production to actual soil and crop needs. in addition, it enâ€" ables salesmen and distibutors Fertilize to Suit Crop and Soil According to agricultural scientists, food production in Canada can be increased by 50 per cent. with the observance of proper farm management. This would help immensely to place flesh on those outstretched hungry hands from across the seas. This is something vital that .the farmer can ponder over during the cold winter months. He must review his farm manageâ€" ment practices and determine whether they might stand imâ€" provement. Is his machinery up to date and in good shape? Has he sufficient machinery to work his acreage properly? What about his fertilizer need? The soil too needs feeding. His seed grain â€"is it the best he can obtain? Does he know the latest fungicides with which to treat it? Has he done justice to his crops last summer by employing modern weedâ€"killing chemicals, or are his fields a mass of yellow mustard and other detrimental weeds?

Wl ns nsmd "You‘re tired, run down This winter, more than at any other time in Canada‘s history, the farmer should take time off and analyse the world food picture, and plan his next year‘s activities accordingly. The world needs food desperately. It has just about come to the end of its tether in so far as expansion of crop producing acreage is concerned. There remains only one solutionâ€"to get the most out of the land that is now available for agriculture. But no farmer can shrug off his year‘s work just like that. If he looks about him, he will see that dark war clouds loom threateningly on the horizon. He will see millions of his fellow men starving in India, China and other thickly populated countries, their scrawny hands stretched towards him for help. He will see his own granaries bulging and bins full of healthâ€"giving produce; his hogs quivering with fat and the flanks of his cattle smpoth and round with rich meat. w uen wWiimer vomes |__A close check is kept on the | varieties entering into export . . â€" 1 grades and onnlla those equal to The icy fingers of winter will soon be spreading across the | or better than rquis wheat are land.

Most appealing of all is the saving to the nation, whose individuals are finding it more and more difficult to carry the present load of taxation. Half a million dollars lopped off government spending would be a tidy saving. 4 The Progressive Conservative plan is to make the CBC an annual grant equal in sum to the amount formerly collected in license fres. This would leave the CBC in exactly the same financial situation, and would at the same time save the taxâ€" payers more than half a million dollars in totally unnecessary expenditure. The license fee itself, which is essentially a tax, whatever other name it may be called, would simply be absorbed into the general tax structure. * The fact is that the PC resolution, if put into effect, would in no way hinder CBC‘s broadcasting operations, and would possibly be of considerable benefit. Under the present system the $2.50 license fees are laboriously collected from individuals over a period of several months. There is no certainty as to what will be the final figure, so that budgeting must of necessity be on a hitâ€"andâ€"miss basis. Not only is this unsatisfactory from an adâ€" ministrative standpoint, but, what is still more important, it is very costly to the taxpayers. Cost of collection is covered by a grant from the General Revenue Fund, and last year came to $571,439 on total collections of $4,798,000â€"nearly tweive per cent. The general public may have some difficulty in reconciling the Progressive Conservative party‘s intention to abolish the $2.50 radio license with its purpose to retain the CBC as an operating broadcasting system. It has been emphasized on numerous occaâ€" sions that the combined $2.50‘s provide the major portion of CBC‘s operational budget; and therefore it might seem that without the radio license fees the national system would be unable to carry on.

Sin with the multitude, and your responsibility and guilt are as great and as truly personal as if you alo!pje haddone the wrong. The standardizing of grades as far as possible for the different soil and crop requirements has already proved a fi;{;al boom to all concerned.

The great majority of farmers have benefited by using the; standard grades recommendéed by the Advisory Boards *and Councils of the different pro-j vinces. to be trained so tmat they can sell fertilizers to farmers, best suited to their needs. lysis of the 1947 crop disclosed that Marquis comprised less than 10 per cent of the cargoes, and for the most part the remainder, ‘ranging from 78 to 89 per cent in the case of cargoes stemming ’from Fort William, were made up of the four rust resistants mentioned above. The Vancouâ€" ver cargoes have more Red Bobs wheat as a rule, but these carry anywhere from 17 to 46 per_cent of rust resistant wheat varieties. One cargo of nearly 200,000 bushels was found to be made up of our varieties, 99.5 per cent of which were rust reâ€" sistant wheats. It is considered that Thatcher has now reached its peak and Regent is assuming greater percentages each year. 350 King St. W.

It is also necessary to have information with respect to the physical condition of the soil. Soil tests may also serve to inâ€" dicate the approximate organic matter content in the soil which is a very important factor in maintaining soil fertility. â€" _ Soil tests for acidity as a fairâ€" ly reliable guide for the need of applying lime to the soil. They may also serve to indicate the suitability of a soil for certain crops. For instance, the degree of acidit or alkalinty of the soil may or may not be favourable to the development of potato scab (A. scabies). Soil reaction. of acigity or alkalinity of the soil ity, is also an important factor in the growth of legume forage crops. j Experience has shown that there is not always a direct relaâ€" tionship between the amount of soluble plant nutrients in the soil, the amount taken up by the mlants, and the response of a crop to fertilizer treatment. Plants differ in their feeding proportion of the soluble plant nutrients present in the soil, which are taken up by crops, will vary with different crops. Seasonal climatic condition and difference in kinds of soil will also influence the amounts of the soluble nutrients used. The soâ€"called rapid soil tests are designed to provide a means of obtaining a relative measureâ€" ment of the plant nutrients presâ€" ent in the soil, which are considâ€" ered to be readily available for plant use under the prevailing soil conditions.

The Dean‘s office and jurisdiction in this country does not extend beyond( the confines of the Cathedral Boâ€" dy of which he is head.
