Previous •to the war the number of farmers iConducting these experiments reach- ed OTer :.,000, and in 1918 (the !a.sl year of the war) the number was •lilhtly over 3,600. Some of the leading varieties of crops now Krown in general cultivation throughout Ontario were introduced through the medium of the co-operative work, such, for instance, ns lli<> O.A.C. No. 21 barley, .Marquis sprinK wheat, O.A.C. No. 72 oats, O.A.C. No. 3 MtB, Dawson's Golden Chaff winter irheal, O.A.C. No. 01 spring rye, Canadian Beauty pease, O.A.C. No. Bl Soy beans. Rye buckwheat, Oold'^n Bantam sweet corn, Karly Amber su- (tr cane. Dwarf Kssex rape, Irish â- obbler potalois, Yellow Leviathan ^auKels, Grimm and Ontario Vari-i- fated alfalfa, etc. The co-operative experiments en- able practical farmers to obtain in- (orniation regarding varieties of field Props, mixtures of grain for grain and for fodder production, ways in increasing soil fertility, etc., for their •own particular farms which they can- not possibly get in any other way. They furnish hundreds and even Ithousands of object l<-ssons annually, prhich form centres of Interesting â- tudy along the lines of progressive Iftfrlriilture. They enable farmers to get a supply of pure seed of the leading varietiej" of field crops which rapidly Increase in quantity and â- which furnish seed for sowing and planting in large areas and 'or -leH- Ing at good prices. The whole work [leads to a substantial increase in |fami profits and to a steady advance lin agricultural education throughout lOntario.

(Contributed by Ontario Department .>! Agriculture, Toronto.) A LARGE amouni of experi- mental work has been con- ducted at the Ontario Agri- cultural College in testing grains both singly and in combination for the production ot grain. The results of experiments indicate that there is practically no advantage In growing In combination two or more varieties of grain ot the same class. Quite decided advanlu.(;es, however, have been obtained from certain combinations of grain of different classes. In an experiment which extended over a period of five years in which oats, barley, spring wheat and peas were grown separately and all the different combination which could be obtained by havinK two, three and four Plains in each mixture. It was found that in about ninety per cent. of the experiments the mixed grains j ga'Ve a greater yield per acre than the same grains when grown separ- ately. Of the different combinations, oats and barley came at the head of the list, giving slightly over two hundred pounds of grain per acre more than when either one was grown alone. It is important to use in coni.')in- ation varieties which will grow satis- factorily together and which will ma- ture at the same time. Siiih varieties as the O.A.C. No. 21 barley and the Daubeney, Alaska or O.A.C. No. S oats give very good results. Of twenty-five different inixtiiren with different pioiiorlions of outs iind barley used for live years in experi- mental work it was found that the gieatesl returns were obtained by us- ing one bushel, by weight, of each or a mixture of 84 pounds (34 pounds of oats and 4 8 pounds of barley). Dr. C. A. Zavitz, O. A. College, Gueiph. Open Your Surface Drains. Drainage â€" either surface or under- ground â€" is essential if fariiiinR is to be profitable. With the dearth cf ditching machinery, the depleted labour market and the increased cost of underdraining, progress Is re- tarded somewhat. Everything, how- ever, has been done which prevailing conditions permit. Yet forty per cent (40%) of Ontario is in urgeiil need of drainage. The undeidralnage of so much cannot be accomplished in a short period of time, hence that which renders timely service, even though only of temporary duration, must be talcen advantage of. Surface draining must be resorted to. Several lines will be necessary. Indeed, if the majority of farmers would leave all "finishing" furrows open In the ploughed ground and connect them by opening up cross channels through the lower-lying parts of the field â€" cleaning out all the furrows thus traversed â€" a system would be formed whereby the water could be carried to outlets quickly, efnciently and satisfactorily In the early spring. Not alone to level fields or farms does this apply. l.arge areas of On- tario are quite rolling, hence natur- ally drained. Yet, a small open ditch or deep furrow will pay for the trouble necessary to make a channel by the greater ease with which water can escape, thus permitting quicker disposal of the same, hence hastening the drying of the land. These surface drains should be opened at least once per year. The best time to do so is in the late autumn after the fall work is done. Liabour can Ije obtained then with less difllculty and at less cost. The work may be done by hand or by the use of a team If water does not provent. Surface draining, however, is not recommended to take the place of tiling.â€" Thos. Cooper, B.S.A., O. A. College, Gueiph. Startiitg Farly Celery. Th« starting of early celery should be done immediately as the seed Is slow In germination; requiring about four weeks before ready for the first transplanting. The seed should he sown In flats In a soil very sandy In nature. This soil Is pressed down about 14 an inch In the box and then the celery is sown broadcast over It. The box is then watered through bur- lap and Is left covered with burlap or brown paper until the seed germi- nates. When the plants are showing two or three leaves they are trans- planted Into flats, 2 Inches each way In soil that Is sandy in nature but well-fllled with good manure .ind commercial fertilizer, such of a ni- trogeneous nature. Good fertilizer is necessary at this stage so that the plants will not receive any check. The plants should be thoroughly sprayer with Bordeaux Mixture when they first break into third or true leaf, so that they will be kept free from blight, and every week after being set In the field. Another method in use among growets is that of sowing in hot beds. The seed is planted In rows about 4 inches apart; In making these rows they take a piece of wood about an 'nch wide and press it down, on the soil making a furrow about % of an itch deep in which the seed is sown, li Is (hen covered with burlap or paper an stated before. ("Celery to genulnate properly should he kept at a temperature cf 70 degrees until the young plants are growing In sood shape, when It is well to lower It to ^f. or 60 degrees. â€" A. H.
