Limestone

Generally speaking soils on P. 1-). I. are strongly acidic. Strong- ly acidic soils tend to tie up available plant nutrients supplied hylfertillzatlon and do not favor the growing of many of our com- tnon crops especially grasses and legumes. In order to correct this acid condition of the soil ground limestone can be added. This can be applied to the soil at any time of the year. For best results II, should be worked into the soil from one to three inches.

Limestone itself does not supply plant food but by its action it re- leases plant nutrients from the soil to be used by plants. The amount of limestone that should he added varies with different soils and with the crop to be grown. It is wise to have your soil tested to determine the acid- Ii), Limestone can be purchased in the Marltlmes from several companies. Prices and names of t'ompanlcs will gladly be supplied nn request to the Department of Agriculture. There is often a rush for limestone at some seasons of the year so get your orders in only so you will not have to wait for your limestone.

In a rotation including potatoes. II would be better to apply lime- stone following potatoes as free limestone tends to , favor the growth of scab on potatoes. By the time potatoes are again on that land the limestone should be well mixed with the soil.

Top Quality Milk

The big majority of milk pro- ducers are today well aware of the importance of turning out a lop quality product and are equal- ly well acquainted with the mess- ures necessary to insure such a product.

But it. would appear that there continues to be a number who are nither not aware of the import- once of such rare or are not suf- liciently acquainted with the nec- vssary mrocedurc.

It is just llS easy to produce good quality as it is to produce something of a poorer quality. It does not necessarily follow that the man who has the most mod- crn set up produces the top quality milk.

It is generally not the equip- ment but the manner in which it is cared for. The general man- agement given the herd and the procedure followed at milking time which count. Next week we will discuss herd management and milking practices.

Boarders In Flock

The poultry flock should be care- fully watched and systematically culled throughout the year. Some birds lay well for ti. time and then fall by the wayside. If the gen- eral health and appearance of the flock is good. those birds which do not stand up are better re- moved. They are not likely to

It is advisable to renew the flock annually for most profitable gains.

Canadian Council On Boys' and Girisi Club Work

At a meeting called at Ottawa on November 20. 1930, and attend- ed by delegates from.ali parts of Canada. the Canadian Council on Boys' and Girls' Club work was organized. The Council began to function in May. 1931. and formal organization was completed in 1933. at which time the Council was incorporated as a non-profit making organization without share capital.

The fundamental purpose of the Council is to maintain a National Policy .on Form Boys' and Girls' Club Work, and to provide a medium through which the inter- est: and financial support of busi- ness organizations can best be applied to the movement. Govern- ments and interested organizations co-operate in conducting the pro- gramme of the Council which neither could do alone. This or- rangement and the Annual Inter- provincial Context have developed wide interest. and have acquainted the public with the purposes and accomplishments of Club Work.

There are three groups of mem- bership in the Council. One in- cludes the Dominion and Provin- ciai Departments of Agriculture or Extension Departments. An- other is composed of Business Or- ganlzntlons: and Associate Mem- bers consisting of National Agri- cultural Organizations. comprise the third group. Each member makes an annual contribution, the minimum of which is established by the Board of Directors.
