A Feohm For Every Friday

' AmoingThe,Ffa1-more Federation for Agriculture lows"

Early Both:

The weather during the past week mipht lead us. to believe that we are on the threshold of spring. We may possibly uiffer a few re- lapses yet, npveriiheless, it is not too early to start planning spring operations for the farm. Decisions can be made 1-, ” - purchase 0! lime. fertiliser, grass and clover seeds. and repsvlrs to form machin- cry.

The results of last epi-ing's grain seed survey suggests that more care and attention should be ex- ercised in cleaning the seed grain. We can always grow plenty of weeds without planting them.

Dairy cattle in particular will benefit by being turned out for a -period each day during mild wea- ther. A period of exercise at mid- day when the sun is strong assists in rievitalizing closely silbled an- 1mHL

Many HIDIIY Returns

It is not too soon to start Hunk- ing of getting to work on income tax returns. Leaving this chore un- tllthc last day or so ma.kee.for in- accuracies that may cost the tax payers money. One or two of the stormy days that come in March can be set aside for dealing with income tax returns. The Federa- tion office has I. supply of Farm- ers income Tax Guides available to those who request them.

0 Meetings

Next week the Dairymens' As- sociation meeis on Wedneeday af- ternoon and evening. and the fol- lowing day on March lsi.. the P.- E. 1. Potato Growers Association holds its a-ninvual meeting. These Assoclatloris representing as they do the two most important branches of agriculture in the province deserve. at their annual meeting, a good attendance of farmers interested in the welfare of agriculture.

Nova Scotia fumers who stored grass silage last year are enthu- siastic over the results and we quote one of the statements cou- cernlng his question: "About 50 pounds of silage is fed daily to each milk -cow and Mr. .....eetl.mates be is saving 00 per cent of mill feed or to quote hh remarks, "I estimate that my silage will save me three or four hundred dollars, possibly more. .1 believe grass silage is a must in dairyhu. I expect within the next few years. with grass silage and home grown grains to practically eliminate buying mlill feeds with the exception of some concent- rates."

, Cheese Prospects

Last year cheese was requisition- ed in Ontario and Quebec to fill the British contract. This resulted in Western cheese moving into Cent- ral Canada and selling at higher prices than the Ontario farmer re- ceived fcr his product. a condition of affairs which did not make the farmer in Ontario very happy.

.A second result was that the Marittmes depended on their own make and this mode for keen de- mand. strong prices and better re- turns for cheese milk as compared with butter. Quite likely there will be no requisitions in Ontario and Quebec this year which may pro- duce qulfc different conditions in the Marltimes this coming sum- mer.

Automobile Drivers

Last summer I United States automobile insurance company con- ducted a survey covering one and one.hslf million passenger cars in forty different states. 'I'he.survey compared the relative driving abil- ity from the standpoint of freedom from accidents of people in sixty two different occupations. At the top of the list stood county agents, farm demonstrators. and 0 nsion workers, farmers were 5th., veter- inarians were uth. housewives 23rd, churchmen 50th. -students eoth. and travelling salesmen in 02nd

place. Limestone Companies

For the information of farmers who may wish to order ground lkne- stone. we list names and addresses of the different companies from which limestone may be procured: Snowflake Lime 1'..td.. Saint John, New Brunswick; .1.J. Lecierc. Dra- peeu. county Bonaventure. Quebec: Masher Lime Co., Upper Musquod- obit, N. 8.: Brookville Manufactur- ing Co.. Saint John, New Bruns- wick.

The market broadcasts on Thurs- day night. s, -d by the De- partment of Agriculture provides listeners with . up-to-data internis- tion on market prices of practically all farm produce. We feel that farmers will be well repaid by or-1 ranging to listen to the informa- tionpprovlded.

Average Production of Dairy Cows

From time to time information released from the Dominion Bur- eau of statistics indicate: the av- erage production of Canadian cows to be in the vicinity of 4,000 pounds. our own opinion is that such fig- ures are completely misleading so far as application to cows of strict- ly dairy breeds. A survey recently conducted in Ontario on 4,000 cows under different herd improvement plans indicated on average yearly production of 7,8! pounds. As for back as 1012 herd compet- itions were eonduomd on P.!'.1. covering production during the five from June let to October Silt In these Wmnetitions most of the herds avenged close to 4,000 pounds milk even for five months.

Meeting in mi '

Thirty Years ago onle of the most active provincial farm organize- tlons in this Province -was the cen- tral Farmers Institute and at their annual meeting in 1917. the burn- ing q ” discussed was the fu- ture of the automobile and restric- tions of its use on the public high. WIPE. A resolution demanding com- plete probibition of the vehicle was hotly debated and finally passed. Thirty three years has made for quite a change in public attitude on this question.

Dairy cold storage ' One of the most important prob- leme for consideration at the an- nual meeting of the mlrymen's A.. mutation will be what use dairy- men are prepared to make of the new dairy cold storage. This prob. lem cannot be considered only in the light of present day conditions. but on a basis of what the future may bring.

with Upper Canadian prices ruling at these levels -for solids and the general scarcity of butter all overalt would appear as if our Maritime prices could strengthen quite a. bit to be in line with Mont- real quotations. Butter supplies are definitely law. There is 20.0 million pounds less butter in stor- age in Canada than It the same period last year and production is not improving to any extent.

Eggs And Poultry

There has been a substantial in- crease in the egg market. Prevail- log mild weather ihas been favour- able to production and deliveries will show a mu-ked increase this week. Quality good. Demand is very strong and receipts are short of demand in Maritime points. Car- lolds of eggs are now rolling from Central and Western Canada to the Marrltlme points. Carioads of eggs are now rolling from Central and Western Canada to the Mari- tlmes and when these are. dis- tributed prices will l.i.kely level off. Grade A Large eggs are now 15c above their price at the some pe- riod last year.

We believe that there is quite an inquiry coming to our Provinc- ie-i Forestry Department for in- formation on proper forest man- agemen-t. We are quite convinced that in other cases no such desire exists and under the pressure of keen demand the landscape is be- ing changed in a-ppeairance under the attacks of the advancing lum- bermam.

Wool

Wool prospects are for good prices this year. World supplies are scarce and market trends strong. The P. E. I. Sheep Breed- ers shortly to announce its services for this year's handling of wool. In the meantime growers are ad- vised to get in touch with the De- partment of Agriculture before disposing of their wool. for in- formation regarding market values. ' The treatment of sheep for ex- ternal and internal parasites is an important consideration at the moment. The Sheep Breeders' As- sociation ls endeavouring to se- cure Phenotlilazine tablets and place them at strategic centers for distribution. Attention to parasitic control means dollars in the hands of the shepherd's pocket.

Inquiries are being received from urban consumers regarding costs of living. "Some complaints." states the report. "are bitter re- garding rlslru prices and a few blame the farmer. We endeavour to show these people that the farmer in many cases receives lit- tle more than 50 per cent of the cost to the consumer. Just this

' - cone called reglrdlng the jump in bread prices. We as- sured this ledy that the farmer was not involved in this increase. We are. nevertheleu, interested in an explanation of why some rc- iallers can sell excellent bread at 14c per loaf while others find it necessary to charge 17c. We do not blame our consumer friends for being annoyed and confused. An explanation would seem neces-

sery." Potatoes

The potato market has been dull during the past week. The seed quota in the United Slates was filled on rob.-mu-y 10th and more- ment south of the Border will be light until the mu-ket, rises suf- flclently to take care of the excess duty. The domestic market is also dull and the movement has not been heavy. It will be a few days before this situation clears sufficiently to properly assess market Conditions.

At a number of island points there has been no movement this week in either seed or tablesiock. 55c per 75 lb. bog hss been paid at Tignish, Weliimtoii. Charlottetown, Cardigan and Mani: Me at O'- Iaory. and Konsluten leads the parade with 050 per bag. The seed movement is almost at a
