Manv Ontario fnrmprr: urn `lane..- Anything that reduces the yield of the farm crop reduces the money re- turn to the man growing the crop. When charges against the production of any crop are gured out it is usual to find that the costs are always high irrespective of the yield. The lower the yield the less there is to pay the production charges and prots. Pro- duction charges must be paid rst. What money remains, if any, is your prot. Plant diseases and insects are always waiting ready to take your share. They frequently succeed. Finding the careless, neglectfulfype of farmer the easiest to prey on, eating up his potatoes, his apples, his onions, his grain, and small fruit crops. There is no escape except through prevention. Plant diseases like oat-smut, onion rot, potato blight, potato scab and apple scab can be controlled. Dry Formaldehyde Treatment for the Prevention of Oat Smut. This method has been tested for `five successive years by the O. A. Col- lege Department of Botany co-operat- ing with farmers in various parts of the province. The results have been uniformly satisfactory. No injury to the grain has resulted and the smut control has been almost perfect. Well worth while when the elds that were sown with untreated seed showed 9. loss at harvest of six per cent. of the crop. The advantages of the Dry For- maldehyde method of treating seed oats are its simplicity, rapidity and ease of application when compared with the dipping method. One hun- dred bushels of oats may be treated in less than one hour; the seed is dry enough to sow; there is no danger of sprouting, moulding or swelling of the seed. There is one disadvantage and it may be overcome by holding the sprayer close to the grain and providing free circulation of air to move the formaldelzyde fumes quick- ly away. A small hand sprayer, a supply of formaldehyde and a scoop shovel comprise the equipment, and their use gives full assurance against loss of croy from oat smut. Treat the Seed Potatoes and Prevent Scab and Black Scurf. In each of ten years an experiment was conducted at the College to de- termine the control of Potato Scab. The potatoes for one plot were left untreated and those for other plots were treated with corrosive subli- mate, or with formaldehyde. With corrosive sublimate 23/4 ounces were used to each 13 gallons of water. With the formaldehyde pickle, one pint of formaldln was used to each thirty gallons of water. The yields were the same from treated and un- treated plots showing that the chem- lcals did not injure the seed in any way. The quality of the crop was greatly improved by treatment, giv- ing clean marketable potatoes. Sack- ed sc-ed potatoes immersed for two hours in the formalin solution gave a little` better results than those treated with the corrosive sublimate solution.

The sprayings had an in- uencc not only in increasing both the yield of nl'll`?\`i table and total crop per acre, but also in prolonging the growth of the plants and increas- ing the size of the potatoes. The results of the experiment show the highest yields per acre from the plots which received three sprayings, both above and below the leaves.

Drake conceived the idea that there was oil in the earth, and up till last year over 8,000,000,000 barrels of oil have been extracted from the earth. Though many attemplts were made to locate oil wells, up till 1881 only one well in sixteen was commercially successful. Mr. White, a geologist, maintained there was a. secret in lo- caming oil wells. He asked to be al- lowed to locate three wells, which he did, and all were successful. This went to prove the theory of .the origin of oil. Geologxists are able tol show where the canditilons are favor-. able for locating` oil wells. | Film Shows Development The lm, which was very clear, first showed the geol-ogists out locat-. ing; oil, then the clri-llin~g' and deri (Continued from page one) I ricks. T.here are now 275,000 pru- ducing` oil wells in the United States, and nearly as many non-pro- ducing. There are n-o rivers of oil underneath the ground as some sup- pose. There is t-he oil strata, which contains the petroleum and the oil is forced up by compression. After a successful well has been tapped large storage tanks are built to store the petroleum. The next problem is to get the petroleum to the renery, where it is treated. There are 300 di`erent products obtained from petroleum. Transportation of the petroleum was a big problem, but this was solved by laying pipes from the wells to the reneries, and there are now over 40,000 miles of main pipe lines in the United States, be- si(les`thousamls of short gathering lines. A gang will lay as much as eight miles of pipe in a day. To keep the pipes clean, what is known :15 n fin T\;.uv3l" :r~ n-.~.l 'T`L3-- -A-~ '15 lUl'I.'L Ll zuuilg; Dy compresslon. The various"S't1`eatnients of the oil as shown by the lm were most in- teresting ,the petroleum being rst subjected to heat, and the various products passing off in vapor, differ- ent products requiring` dif ferent temperatures of heat. The products passing oil as vapors are then chill- ed and the liquid subjected to fur- ther trea.-tment and tests. No need to worry about Supply Some claim that the supply of oil is fast disappearing and in thirty years will be exhausted.

DOBBIN ON SNOWSI-IOES IN RGCKIES Beginning July 15, 1925, a cut on all buck lambs of $2.00 per hundred weight will be effective, and on November 2 the cut will be increased to $3.00 per hundred weigihxt on all buck lambs of the previous spring"s lamb crop. Bucks produce a car- cass of undesirable conzforrrnation, with a more or less pronounced strong taste. This results in discour- aging consumption of lamb by the buying public and generally hurrts the lamb industry. During the last two years buyers in Ontario have discniminated in favor of the ewe and wether Lambs by discounltin-g` the bucks and paying more for the ewe and wether lambs. Some farmers land feeders have tried to secure an |advantage by keeping` the bucks un- til they reach a heavy weight and the quantity on Uhe market lessened. III: has become necessary to prevent this `and it might as well be understood that bucks lambs must disappear. There is no need of any hardshi.p. Simply by docking and castrating all male lambs intended for market at the proper time, all loss can be avoided? By marketing only ewe avnd wether lambs of the proper weig'ht and nish the consuming market will be built up and steadily expanded.

In conclusion Mr. Schorman said it was g`ratifying to know that 90 per cen-t. of the world s known oil supply was owned and con-trolled by Great Britain and the United States. As long` as these two great nations remain friendly they can control the situation. They can supply the rest of the world with enough oil for their happiness and comfort. In this way these two nations can preserve the peace of the world, as modern warfare cannot be carried on with- out petroleum and its products. touched, and most of the oil elds now operating are not yet half ex- hausted. Even if the oil eld did play out there are vast deposits of shale oil in Nova Scotia, New Bruns- wick, Kentucky and Colorado. This shale will produce twenty gallons of oil per ton, and would sup'i)ly the world for two hundred years. Tn .....,...1....3...4 \yY..
