EXHIBIT URGES FARMERS TO GROW MORE FEED GRAIN being fired at the Royal Winter Fair, where the Crops, Seeds and Weeds Branch of the Department, of which John D. MacLeod, is Diâ€" rector, has a graphic exhibit showâ€" ing the need for greater food proâ€" duction to _ meet a serious world shortage. The exhibit is devoted entirely to showing the need for feed grains over and above the 1947 production figures, and asks that every farmer plan to increase his grain production by oneâ€"third. Pictorially and by slogans, it is suggested that this increase be seâ€" cured first, by planning for high- er yields per acre, and secondly, b;‘rutfing a larger acreage under feed grain crops in 1948. The exâ€" hibit was planned and erected unâ€" der the direction of W. D. Tolton, Director of Public Relations at the O.A.C., and is located in the upâ€" stairs hall over the flower show at the Royal Winter Fair.

This was the unanimous decision of a group representing every County Crop Improvmeent Assoâ€" ciation in the Province at a recent crop conference at which it was agreed that an increased objective be set for 1948 of 50,000,000 bushâ€" els of feed grains (oats, barley, mixed grains, wheat, corn for husâ€" king and buckwheat) over the last ten year average for Ontario. The decision of the conference was based on the following figures: Alderman For Waterioo Amount of Western feed grains on which freight assistance was paid in the year ending July 31, 1947, 56,999,872 bushels. _ _ _ Screenings and mill feeds which amounted to 13,000 bushels during the calendar year of 1946 were not included. Production of feed grains, tenâ€" year average, 1936â€"1945, 150,896.â€" 000 bushels. Overall objective for 1948, 200,â€" £96,000 bushels. In recommending this 1948 obâ€" jective, the Conference emphasized that marginal land should not be broken, and that the increased proâ€" duction should be obtained, not only by increasing feed grain acreâ€" age, but primarily by greater yields per acre. It was agreed that many farms have hay and pasture fields left in sod during tgg war years which are no longer producâ€" ing profitable crops, and that such areas should be brought into the rotation, cropped for a couple of years and then seeded down again. It was emphasized that this was good farm practice, and that such Recommended increase for 1948 50,000,000 bushels. _ â€" o (3) Open up furrows after plowâ€" ing has been completed, also adâ€" joining ditches for removal of surâ€" face water.

Assuming that weather condiâ€" tions for the next few weeks will be favorable, and keeping in mind that early seeding on a wellâ€"preâ€" pared seed bed is an important facâ€" tor in obtaineifi maximum yields. J. D. MacLeod, Director of the Crops, Seeds and Weeds Branch, Ontario Department of Agriculâ€" ture, suggests that immediate acâ€" tion be taken by individual farmâ€" ers along the following lines: (2) If soil erosion is not a probâ€" lem, make immediate plans to have the area plowed. _ â€" a program on individual farms would help to meet the present feed grain emergency. _ 0 (1) Plan the additional acreage which could and should be brought into the rotation in 1948.

How To Keep Apples Good In the Home Many householders may be disâ€" couraged from buying apples in large quantities because the fruit becomes withered and tasteless if kept for any length of time. This is caused chiefly by loss of moisture from the apple. The air in most houses is usually too dry for good storage, and because of this dry condition, the moisture in the apâ€" ple escapes through these small pores in the skin. As this moisture contains most of the fresh aromatic flavor of the apple, its loss causes the fruit to become wrinkled and tasteless. Through the efforts of the Horâ€" ticultural Division, Cehtral Experiâ€" mental Farm, Ottawa, and other research organizations, commerâ€" cial cold storage plants are improvâ€" ing their methods for retaining the fresh quality of apples. If consuâ€" mers wish to benefit from these modern _ storage _ improvements, they too must give attention to how the fruit can be kept best in the home, says W. R. Phillips, who specializes in a study of fruit stoâ€" rage for the Division of Horticulâ€" ture. There are two ways to prevent moisture and flavor loss in apples, he says. One, low temperature and high humidity, the method used in commercial storage is helpful, but is difficult and frequently impracâ€" ticable in the home. The second method, more suited to the home, is to use a container which will hold the moisture in the apple. Cellophane bags or glass jars can be used for this purpose. If glass jars are used, the tops should be left loose so that the apples do not suffocate. If apples are stored in this way and the containers are kept in the refrigerator, the fruit will retain its fresh flavor and apâ€" pearance for a reasonable time. If it is desired to store larger quantities of apples in the home some helpful suggestions will be found in the publication "The Conâ€" struction and Operation of a Home Storage for Fruits and Vegetables," available from the Dominion Deâ€" partment of Agriculture, Ottawa. It is Publication 743. ii E ""?“‘, “__’»; & 7A
