‘LARGE OIL FIELDS 1.00M AS POSSIBILITY IN BRITISH COLUMBIA For some time pass it has been be-

ilmbia would eventually assume a position of commanding importance l! I Producer of oil. This belief was ifliiered considerably by cursory ex. aminations of the Peace River dis- trict, the Queen Charlotte Islands and other areas. Recently plans were laid before the British Columbia government by s syndicate claimed to be affiliated with the Anglo-Persian 3n 0118711133,- tion and which proposed m gxplgrg traces oi oil" throughout the province. The proposal included a suggestion to the" government that a large area

aside to be systematically bored by the D'Arcy Development. and Enplm-g- iivn Company. It is believed that this FY0170!!! is. still in abeyancs pending knowledge of the relation between the immediate promoters and Anglo-Per- sian Oil. On the Queen Charlotte Island; the inhabitants have been so impressed with the indications of oil that a move has been made to form a local company for development. Many engineers from the United States dnd Canada are’ already on the 3pm; Con. ducdting investigations. This search has been intensified by the discovery oi a new oil seepage at Btaidgate on the west coast oi Graham Island. Dc- finite indication of oil nae been evi- dent for some time through seepagos on the islands and one well was sunk years ago but the project petered out through lack of capital although the hole is still exuding gas.

One theory therefore is that rather strong ‘inter- elts are undertaking a little shaking out of tired holders with-a view to increasing their ownshares at better prices, as is frequently dons when the time seems ripe.

dustry within the province mikes available each year large ilillnimt“ of cull potatoes suitable for feeding purposes, and it seemed desirable to compare the value of these with whfl-t ~ has been ior many years the stan- dard succulent feed, namely. "W" turnips.

In 1927 twenty-eight steers were ied for a period of 122 days; in 1928 twenty steers were fed for 76 days. and'\in 1929 twenty-four steers were fed for a period of 107 day5- The following pens were comparable dur- ing the three seasons!

Lot 1, Swedes were fed at tho r800 of 40 pounds per steer per day Bi the start oi the period, the B11100!“ being reduced at the rate of 0110 'pOu!\d‘ per week until the comple- tion of‘ the ieedin, period. Lot 2. Swedes were fed at the rate of Z0 pounds per day reduced by one-half pound each week until the end of the feeding period. Lot 8 was led wlthawedes at the rate of 15 pound-i porday per steer throughout the duration oi the test. Lot 4 received cull potatoes at the rate oi i5 pound-s per steer per day throlllhoili ‘M. feeding period. Lot. 5 was used ls l check pen and received neither roots nor potatoes. The hay and meal ration in every case was at o uniform rate ior all pens, the r00” or potatoes being the only variable. Striking an average oi the 11811"! obtained for the three years’ test. ywede turnips as fed to Lot 1 lave s return value of $0.29 per ton, bas- ing hay and meal at local ntarket ‘cost prices,’ Lot 2 for the same Per- iod returned a value oi $9.25 per ton for the amount oi roots fed. Lot 8 gave a return oi $10.69 per ton over the check lot receiving no roots. Lot 4 receiving potatoes returned a value of $10.52 per ton for the POI-MOB! ied,-or approximately s2 cents per bushel.

from the above it would c9008!‘ that very profitable returns are to be obtained for roots 0r cull pota- toes when fed to short-keep steers. It is noticeable that greater re- turns per ton were obtained from swedes when ied in moderate quan- tities, and it would seem in this res- pect that a moderate amount Elven uniformly throughout the feeding period is superior to approximately the same total tonnage ied in Ira- dually decreasing amounts until the completion of the test.-

‘ This P0int tar/supported by addi- tional tests in 1927, in which one lot received 80 pounds per steer per day during the entire feeding period. while a second lot received 50 pounds per steer per day at the start, this amount being reduced by 2 pounds per week until the end of the test. ‘rile lot fed uniformly made a u- turn of $6.89, while those fed de- creasing amounts returned only 85.05 per ton for the roots fed.

ROBERT BAKEWELL, FARMER. The London, Eng, 'I‘imes, records the election of a memorial to Robert Bakewell, in Ieicestersnne, England. Bakewell was the pioneer oi cattle breeders, and it is amusing to read the description of live stock before his day. The age oi factories had wmmeneed 9nd the population,

' . Livestock Market ' (Canadian Press) MONTREAL, Aug. 27.—(Domlnion live stock branch)—There were 106 cattle, 809, calves, 1,115 hogs and 251 sheep and lambs for sale on the two markets; including about 90 ~sheep and 251 sheep held over from yester- day's market. The cattle market was steady at $5.00 to 85.75 for bulls and $4.50 to 86.00 for medium to fair cows, Calves were steady to strong and prices ranged from $6.00 to $7.50 for grass calves and up to $13.50 for good veais. Lambs were steady at

sold between $5.00 and 00.00. Although there was a cut of $1.50 per cwt. on hogs a fairly good clean up was made at $12.50, for hogs oi good weights fed and watered flat. Light hogs were sold for $12.00 and sows $9.00 to $9.50. On one market where only 150 hogs were offered sales were made up to $13.25 flat,

er case was the return so high as when smaller amounts of roots were. fed.

Perhaps the outstanding finding of the test is the return value re- ceived for c potatoes. with our seed potato ndustry at its present magnitude there are large quantities of small and cull potatoes available each year that have little ii any market value. Growers are often- times at a loss as to the disposal oi

Canada's ofllcial stock-taking of farm animals for 102a has Just been Dublished as “Live stock and Ani- mal Product statistics." From it we learn that on the farms of the Dom- 101011 m 8.792.522 milch cows, 5,000,- .750 other cattle. 8.415.788 sheep, and 4,497,307 swine.

He created a_new variety of sheep-New Leices- ters, he called them-with compact form. small bone, easily iattened and of early maturity; hardy when living, heavy when dead. A comparison is given of the average weight of cattle! in 1710 and 1795. the years oi his] birth and death: Beeves rose from 370 to 800 lbs; calves 50 to 149; sheep 28 to 80; and lambs from 18 to 50 lbs. All over England his principle was applied and stock-Lrswding made its first strides.
