ann ASHAWA DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 12,1929 -- -- -- ~~ All Ontario Affected By Continued Dry Spell Milk Production Falls Off in Many Counties Owing to Poor Pasturage--Live Stock Suffer Generally--Mar- keting Hogs in Unfinished Condition -- Bean Crop Below Average-- Full Wheat Sowing Held Up. libs as Sit Toronto, Sept. 12--The Ontario Depatfment of Agriculture issues the following crop report: 'The dry weather- is having detri- mental effects on pasture. There ap- pears to be about the normal acre- age of fall wheat this 'year. Many farmers have it sowed, and in a num- ber of cases the wheat is up, while other farmers have not sown theirs to date. Dry weather and hard ground is preventing many from cul- tivation and plowing. The weather during the past week has been ex- ceptionally dry. There was, how- "ever, a good shower Thursday night and Friday morning. While not heavy enough to be of much service to plowing, it did a world of good to roots and many pastures. Elgin Bean harvest' is general: over the county, being farther advanced, how- ever, in the western part. The yield will probably be slightly below the average, owing to very dry condi- tions. Wheat ground is practically all ready over the county, but due to dry weather, very little, if any, has been sown. Fron c The milk flow continues to decrease although no serious shortage is as yet anticipated. About 75 per cent of the threshing is done and grain yield will run about 50 to 60 per cent of average crop. Farmers are anxious to get hogs off their hands in or- der to save feed, and to sell before there is a furtheg drop in price. Cheese prices are advancing a little, but the revenue from the cheese fac- tories this year will be considerably lower than last year. More tractors in use this year than ever before. Farm conditions in the country are very poor, Coarse grains will be scarce and expensive to purchase. Hay is plentiful, but feeding is neces- sary now in order to keep up flow of milk and the condition of stock. Pastures are in very poor condition. Glengarry There is a tendency on the part of our farmers to market their hogs in an unfinished condition due to mar- ket conditions. Due to the continued dry weather pastures are very poor and the milk flow has dropped down very low. The continued drought and the comparative low price for cheese has made this a rather disappointing season for the cheese factory pat- rons. In most cases corn is an ex- cellent crop, and there is more feed in the country this year than for some time, Grenville Milk flow is decreasing rapidly. Pastures are very short and in many cases the .water supply has' failed. Threshing is in full swing. In some districts the yield of' grain is better than last year, in others it is not half as good. Very light land did not receive enough rain through the summer. After harvest cultivation is 'imposible owing to the drought.' Haldimand The continued dry weather is still HON. R. B. BENNETT der of the C vative opp tion at Ottawa, who was elected president of the Canadian Bar Association at Quebec, succeed- ing the Hon. Wallace Nesbitt, K.C., of Toronto, retarding the sowing of fall wheat. Huron Some fall wheat has been sown on summer fallow. Land broken up during the summer for wheat is too dry. to sow at present. There was a light shower in some districts dur- ing the week, but for most part the soil is, becoming harder and drier making after-harvest cultivation slow work. Leeds : Milk flow is dropping rapidly with those who are not paying attention to supplemental feeds and grain. The hot and dry weather is rapidly show- ing its effect - on pastures and all crops not harvested. The milk flow is rapidly decreasing. Lincoln Pastures are very much dried up, and live stock is suffering from lack of succulent feed, as corn is also a short crop and very little surplus is available for feeding in the stalk. The supply of milk is decreasing, but the price of milk and butter remains stationary' Threshing is a very light operation this year. The straw is very short, and although the quality of grain is good, the yield is about 40 per cent below normal. Alsike seed, however, is turning out better and yields up to 5 bushels per acre have been reported, which sells at $7.20 to $7.50 per bushel. This has been one of the best seasons for |, years for after-harvest cultivation for the control of weeds. A good many farmers have made use of it, but the usual number find the weather too hot and the ground too Elgin recently. ---- DISTINGUISHED GROUP AT In the presence of a distinguished assembly 'at the town hall, Premier Ramsay Macdonald of Great Britain, received the freedom of the city of The photograph here shows a group after the ceremony.

Cool, cloudy weather over the week-end alleviated conditions some- what, although there has been no rain of any account so far. Milk flow has been seriously decreased by burned-up pastures and lack of sat- 1 isfactory water supply in many sec- tions. Dairymen who attempt to maintain even a fair production are greatly perturbed over the necessity of resorting to expensive stable feed- ing at such an early date. Some wheat has been sown in the county with a few fields already showing green. Most farmers will, however, have to wait for rain to give suffi- cient moisture for germination be- fore sowing except on fields which were plowed early and were well worked during the summer, Pros- pects indicate considerably heavier crop of apples this year, with the |! crop estimated at: 20,000 barrels, as compared with 12,000 of last year. Fruit is coloring up well, although more. moisture . is required to give good size. : ; i Milk production has shown a very i marked falling off in the past two weeks, although conditions are not as serious in Ontario County as they are farther west. Harvesting is nearly completed and considerable fall wheat has already been sown. The acreage of wheat will be slight- ly above that of last year. Fall wheat has turned out well in all dis- tricts. Potatoes are selling at $1.10 a bag; locally the crop will not be any more than 75 per cent of last year. Oxford Extremely dry weather, coupled with intense heat, is having its effect on live stock: generally. There is a general shortage of good after-grass, and the pastures are pretty well dried up. The county generally is apparently passing through the driest period experienced here .in a great many years. The milk supply is dropping off every day, and the continued dry, hot weather, with shortage of good pasture, is likely to curtail the milk supply for the bal- ance of the season. Some fall wheat has already been sown. A great deal of land has been prepared. Some are waiting for a good rain before sowing, as there is apparently not enough . moisture in the ground to start the seed.

Pastures are practically burned up, with the result that many farms have had to start to feed silage and hay. Turnips are looking very poor. Potatoes will be a light crop. Welland . Milk supply greatly decreasing on account of poor pasture. Red clover is being harvested this week for seed, and the set of seed is excellent.' The drought is quite severe. Pastures have burned up, and dairymen are forced to use corn or hay to feed their cattle. Many fields are pre- pared for fall wheat, but are unus- ually dry, and farmers hesitate to seed for fear of heavy rains and the soil baking. Fruit crops are suffering from the drought. Water is becoming scarce in some sections. Wellington Buckwheat cutting has started. The crop is short and irregular, but no doubt will yield better than some of the long crops in the past that went down while in blossom, Well- ington' grows more buckwheat from year to ycar, until now we are grow- ing upward of 10,000 acres. Sow- thistle-infested fields are often work- ed late and sown to barley or buckwheat. The late barley will soon all be cut, and is pretty good average crop: Wellington is thresh- ing some of the cleanest and best seed we have had in years. Occa- sional farmers here and there over the county are starting to cultivate hay stubble fields with a stiff-tooth cultivator and tractor, This will be sure death to the sow thistle this year because of the fact that it .is already nearly dead in meadows and pastures. The only living roots are near the top, with about two leaves left. A good rain would start them off, but cultivation of any kind will dry them up completely. This is the driest year we have had in Welling- ton for at least 15 years or more. 'Dozens of spring creeks and wells are reported dry, Wentworth Farm conditions in the county have become- most serious during the last two weeks. Following the fact that there is less than one-half a crop of spring grains, the dry spell has made conditions most serious throughout the district. The pastures have all dried up and the farmers are finding it necessary to draw on their sup- plies of hay, ensilage and second- | cutting alfalfa in order to keep the | milk flow up at all. The corn crop was less than one-third of a crop, | to begin with, and the dry spell dur- ing the last two weeks has caused the halt of the growth. Farmers find it almost impossible to plow for fall wheat, and even if the ground has been plowed, the soil is so dry that it is useless to put the grain in the ground, .
