They will be supported ,by a strong Board of Directors Irom the eightâ€"county area. ‘lais year, with the event to be neld at the Ontario Hospital Farm, st. Thomas, the committee in charge is confident that attendâ€" unce this year will be greater than ever. â€" _ Seven other southâ€"western Onâ€" tario countiés are coâ€"operating to ensure the success of the occasion. FARM AND HOME WEEK WHEELS Crops to be featured this year include silage and husking corn, soypbeans and potatoes. Large acreages of each will be planted under the direction of personnel from O.A.C., Guelph, W.O.AS, Ridgetown, and the Field Crops Branch, Toronto. A number of variety and fertility test plots are included in the plan. In addition, ten oat variety plots have been planted down for the information of summer visitors to this site. _ The Hospital Farm is considâ€" ered an ideal location for the event. The soil is adapted to proâ€" duction of the crops involved. It is easily accessible by highway. The new modern beef cattle barns will be an added attraction durâ€" ing the Summer season when maâ€" ARE BIG BUSINESS A foodâ€"shopping excursion for many housewives today includes + a visit to the local locker plant to pick up a supply of frozen foods.

LOCKER PLANTS In the three Prairie Provinces. alone, says A. L. Shewfelt, Morâ€" den Experimental Station, Maniâ€" toba, more than 300 locker plants have been built at aâ€" capital inâ€" vestment of approximately $10 million Another $10 _ million worth of food is stored in the plants each year by some 100,000 families. The rapid and extensive growth of the industry has necesâ€" sitated wellâ€"organized associations of locker plant operators in each province Members of these assoâ€" ciations meet regularly to discuss problems of the industry One of the most difficult probâ€" lems facing locker plants at presâ€" ent is that of competition from home freezers Housewives find it much more convemient to have a supply of frozen food right in the home and many have given up their rented locker in favor of a home freezer Most freezing g FARM & ~â€"\ FORUM WHEELS AND IIREDG & Eesnt 0 IN TRACTOR OPERATION | oF uu:s-rouz‘ The care of rubber tires ‘nd\l Value of the use of agricultural wheels is an important factor in | limestone in propet land use pracâ€" oblaininf the maximum servicei“cs has been well lllustrated' and performance from the farm | OVET the past 12 months by Onâ€" tractor.

ELIMINATION OF WEEDS REDEEMS POOR PASTURE Pasture lands in one form or another, comprise almost half the agricultural acreage in Ontario, according to the Field Crops Branch of the Ontario Depart ment of Agriculture. Much of this land, unfortunately, has deteriorâ€" ated with thin sod, slow growth, low yields and invasion by such weeds as Oxâ€"eyeâ€"daisy, King Deâ€" vil, Paint Brush, Blue Weed, and even Thorn shrubs. Any signifiâ€" cant improvement on these areas would have a marked influence on the total grazing available in Ontario.

Good weed control can be obtained by sprayâ€" ing with 2,4â€"D. By using the "brojet" type of nozzle it is posâ€" sible to do this on any land on which it is possible to drive a tractor. To get maximum results at least | two treatments will be necessary, the first in late spring or early‘ summer, the second early in Sepâ€"| tember. Avoid spraying during| periods of extreme drought and try to pick a calm day, as wind will cause uneven application of ; spray, particularly with the "broâ€" djet" nozzles. Control of most pasture weeds require from 12 to 16 ounces of 2,4â€"D acid per acre, the ester type usually being the most suitâ€" able. Reseeding to suitable grassâ€" es should follow weed eradication to retard soil erosion and reâ€"infesâ€" tation. The Fruit and Vegetable Laborâ€" atory of the Experimental Station at Morden, Manitoba, is gnfinu- ally investigating food preservaâ€" tion by freezing and coâ€"operates both with the householder and the locker industry in the adopâ€" tion of the latest improved methâ€" ods.
