THURSDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1937 PAGE SEVEN News 'and Information ~~ for the Busy Farmer (Furnished by the Ontario Department of Agriculture) INSPECTION OF TRUCK LOADS For the protection of the con- suming public, the Ontario Depart- ment of Agriculture is establishing a system of inspection of shipments of fruit and vegetables throughout the province, Hon. P. MM. Dewan, Minister of Agriculture, announces. The first of a series of inspection points has been established at "Sun- set Camp" near 'Gravenhurst, where all shipments of fruit and vege- tables moving into Northern Ontario by truck must be submitted for in- spection. This move resuited from complaints about the quality of pro- duce going into the north country, but the inspection system will soon be extended to cover phe whole pro- vince. ) i There are some 11 Dominion fruit and vezetable inspectors in Ontario, but until now their authority only allowed them to inspect shipments leaving the province. 'Now, how- ever, they have been appointed On- tario inspectors as well and may check on all produce intended for sale in the province. In giving them this autrority the minister acted un- der the provisions of the Ontario Farm Products Grade and Sales Act. Other inspection points will be designated at an early date. CLOVER and ALFALFA SEED There is a market shortage in the production of red clover sead this vear in Canada, with barely 1,000,- 000 pounds. This supply is located mainly in Ontario and the I'rase. Valley ¢f British Columbia. Seed- men wil. need to purchase from | other countries to meet the re-| quirements of about 4,000,009 pounds for the Dominion. | The Seeds Act of Canada pro-| vides for the identification of thei red clover seed that farmers may know its English seed requires 40 contain one | per cent of seed stained yellow,! United States one per cent *ained | blue, Northern European and New| Zealand one per cent stained green, | | than last year and roughly 700,000 more than the ten-year average 1925-34. : BE Total feed supplies in the Pro- vince of Ontario are considerably larger this year than in 1936. Last year crops in Eastern Ontario were not affected by the drought which prevailed over the greater portion of the Province. This season yields per acre 'of practically all crops were considerably higher in Central 'Western, and Southern Ontario, but in Eastern Ontario, particularly grain, showed a substantial decline from last year, due to a combination of adverse factors including an -=x- ceptionally late seeding, premature ripening and extensive rust dam- age. i | : The 1937 Ontario potato crop is now estimated at 10,130,000 cwt. and shows an increase of 850,000 ewt. over 1936. The average produc- tion for 1925-34 is 10,140,000 ewt,, so that this year's crop is practical- ly the same as the ten-year average. The acreage this year shows a gain of 5,800 acres over 1936, and the vield per acre is placed at 67.2 zwt. as against 64.0 cwt. a year ago. The dry bean crop is considerably higher with production in 1937 amounting to 1,089,000 bushels as compared with 743,000 bushels in 1936. Total tebaceo production is the largest on record and present estimates place the crop at '62,000,000 pounds, a rise of approximately 13,500,000 pounds over the previous record crop har- vested in 1935. 'Sugar beets, which are grown chiefly in Kent, Essex and Tambton Counties, suffered from excessive moisture supplies and the total yield for the Province this vear is only [240,000 tons as against 391,000 tons in 1936. Both sold in Canadas, 80| acreage and yield per acre showed a origin. | reduction.

OFFICIAL CROP REPORT Total grain production in Ontario in 1937 is estimated at 154,188,000 bushels as compared with 185,449,- 000 bushels in 1936, and an average annual production 'of = 169,056.000 bushels during the ten-year period 1925-34. This year's grain crop will exceed that of any year since 1931 with the exception of 1935. The com- bined vield of hay crops and corn for fodder is considerably greater than that of last year and almost the same as the ten-year average. Total tonmage for 1937 is estimated at 9.406.000 tons, and with the ex- ception of 1935, is larger than in any other year since 1930..

SEE YOUR DOCTOR We dio not want to be accused of plagiarism but we cannot resist the temptation to life three paragraphs from the speech of a layman be- cause we believe Le says things which should- be said often and moreover he says them with such conviction and clarity that we doubt if we could sey them as well ourselves. Then too, may we re- peat, he is a layman, not a doctor, Here is what he said-- "See your doctor at the first sigm of trouble. See him promptly. To- day there is much that medical science is able to ac in the prevens tion of serious complications. Delay is an open invitation to unnecessary suffering and permanent disability." ~ "With the help of modern scienti= fic equipment, with a fund of co= ordinated medical and surgical knowledge, undreamed of even by our grandfathers, your doctor can PREVENT diseases that were once supposed to be the natural heritage of mankind. He can CURE diseases which were once unqualified labelag 'fatal!" "But he can do these things only with vour co-operation. To GET his help you must SEEK it. The better he knows you, the more he can do for you. That is why it is shorte sighted and wasteful to wait until an emergency compels you to see him. Regular health examinations are not costly, they are economical, They reveal--to the cne man whe can help you--the weak spots in vour health armour which nead strengthening. See your doctor be- fore he has to see you." Self diagnosis and self medica- tion gambles with health and may- be with life. When our watch needs attention or our car or our furnace we call skilled mechanics to our service. So why trifle with our greatest possession--the human body. Fortunate indeed is the man who has a family vhysician whom he trusts and to whom he and his family may go regularly to seek advice and counsel on how to mains tain that most priceless of all pos= sessions--good heaith.
