office canadian onioneaters onion week did a lot to increase the popularity of canadian onions it is also brought to light some interesting facts about this rapidly- growing industry per capita con sumption of onions in canada in 1930 was about ten pounds in other words this means that a total of 100000000 pounds 30000 tons or some 2000 carloads of onions were eaten by canadian people this huge quantity came principally from two sources canadian growers pro duced 29970 tons and something over 20000 tons were imported from the united states over s750- 000 was spent by canadians on united states grown onions canadian production is increasing rapidly and is of exceptional quality vogue before the era of competitive progress the minister hopes to put agriculture on a basis where it will produce higher quality products at less cost for instance ontario far mers have lost hundreds of thous ands of dollars through parasites ill hogs hogs thus affected take con siderable more feeding than do healthy hogs a matter of several months and the farmers profit is considerably lessened as a result notwithstanding recent declines in the price of lamb and wool on tario sheep breeders were not at all discouraged at their annual meet ing it was pointed out that this country still imports wool and mut ton equivalent to half a million sheep so that there is plenty of room for expansion overhauling of farm methods in ontario tho application of scientific principles of farming the spreading of agricultural vocational training the cutting down of overhead elim ination of waste and improvement in marketing methods are some of the proposals contained in the re port of the hon tl kennedy min ister of agriculture to the govern ment which are liuely to he em bodied in the form of legislation at the session now in progress one ot the chief difficulties confronting the department has been the conversion ot farmers to the need of improving their marketing methods and gener ally departing from practices in for better seed during the past year agricultural representative f s thomas of elgin county had school children collect s50 onepound samples of the grain their fathers were sowing this winter he has set up a small fanning mill run by an electric motor in his office and he is clean ing these samples as an object les son the results of the tests will be published and he thus hopes to stfr up interest in better seed and event ually to raise the average yield ot spring grain in elgin county from around thirtyfive at present to fifty bushels per acre a marketing board
