It Pays to Enrich tho Soil Late Cultivation Not Advisable Prun- ing a in I Spraying Ad -. iteated - Thrifty Ewea Mean n Big Lamb Crop. (Contributed by Ontario Department of Agriculture, Toronto.) FIVE leased orchards in the Counties of Simcoe, Nor- folk, Prince Eilward, Lambton and Ontario, all being in apple growing sections, were- looked after by the Ontario Department of Agri- culture, during the war. Four of these have been very profitable. In tho Prince Edward county orchard it WUH successfully demonstrated that new heads could be put on old trees. The Department fourd that leasing upple orchards is a profitable busi- ness, but several thinps must be done to make it so. On the lighter noils many of the troes are positively starving while on h:. 'ier lands thin may not be fiu ;i opulent. In the experiments very Uttlr commercial fertilizer was ii.-if-d V.. he Depart- ment depended - in 'Ue ' '8 of barn- yard manure, MOR:' : -cured from Toronto. About . < i tons per acre are sufficient fui no application, which gives aboul iQO pounds per tree and the i tal cost is about $21 per acre. The tinount looks big but there is no doubt that it will pay well to spread that much on light land nearly every yea'. About six or seven years ago v> began ploughing, in t''e fall, several rows of trees in all 'he leased or- chards (a portion b> 'iig left in sod to test the sod mulch, 1 . This was done in order that wo could answer from experience the frequent question What about fall ploughing? When the land IB fall ploughed cultivation can be begun much earlier in the spring. It costs much less to get land in good condition when it has been ploughed before winter, but we can see no advantage in ploughing closer than live feet from the lref>. The troublesome part in orchard (Cultivation is close to the trunk and it is frequently difficult to work near the tree without injur- ing the bark. We have tested cultivation against sod mulch, and have concluded that nearly all the orchards will be more profitable when cultivation is carried on, unless the land hi first-class and thore is plenty of barnyard manure for mulching. When to stop culti- vation is rather hard to answer. It depends on the season. The drl"r the weather the later the cultivation should be carried on. On rich land apples will grow long after cultivation has ceased. We are stopping our cultivation earlier and earlier every year because our On- tario apples lack color; less cultiva- tion means more color, more color higher priced fruit. Medium apples slightly colored seem preferable to larger ones Licking color. When cul- tivation is stopped a cover crop is fre- quently sown. The principal object is to rob the trees of nourishment In order that Ihe fruit will color and Ihe wood will ripen before winter. Some low growing crop from cheap seed gives most satisfaction. Trees must be pruned to set high clasH apples. The best time to prune Is early spring but we prune any month when the wenllier in not too cold for our men. If them a--e large, cuts to make we leave a stub about one foot long and cut it off In the spring, as cuts of two inches or more do not hen! well when iiuide In the very cold weather; large culs should be kept painted to keep the wood from decaying. Pruning is a slow business and II costs a lot to get a Ms; orchard done, but It is absolutely necessary if pood apples are expected. High trees are diftlcult to spniy thor- oughly. Twenty foot Is high enough for any tree and several feet of top may be removed in a season with no bad effects. The tree with a low head is easier pruned, easier sprayed, ran bo pirked for half tho cost, and (lie wind will not blow down so many apples. W. F. Kydd, Fruit Branch, Toronto. Thrifty KWPH Mean Illggci- Lamb Crop. The best resulls from breeding are obtained from ewes that are in u gaining condition. If they are thin from having been kept on short fall past in CH, I hoy should have a little grain from one-quarter to' one-half a pound a day. This will put them in good condition and they will breed earlier and increase the lamb crop. Some, fairly accurate record should be kept when Ihe ewes are bred In order that when lambing time ap- proaches the ewes may be separated from the ir.ain flock and given extra feed and care. If ticks, lice or scab appear In the flock, Ihe sheep should be dipped even though the weather is a little severe. This is extra work, but the flock will be more healthy and thrifty. A warm piace should be provided the sheep untiUthey dry off. The ram should also receive extra care at this time. In order to k<x-p him active, vigorous and In fair flesh during the breeding season ho should be fed a pound or two of grain every day. "Extra care of ewes and breed- Ing ram at this time," says Mr. Anderson, "will Insure a larger and stronger lamb crop and well repay the flockmaster for his extra labor." Farm Notes. From now on empty the hopper of the gasoline engine after using, and protect batteries from frost. Dp not 'forget that salt and water are as necessary for the cow as is feed. A tablespoonful of charcoal mixed with the feed aids digestion. The dairg farmer not only studies iiow to feed his cow, but how to feed tils land. He is not a soil robber, as he realizes that the farmer who re- duces the fertility of his land robs without reason, since he steals from himself. Your Plans for the Year THIS year you plan to extend your farm operations. Perhaps it is a new silo, more cows, a tractor, extension to your dairy stable, a new barn, new machinery, land to clear and break; perhaps it is winter feed to finish your steers or young cattle for your new pasture or range next spring whatever it may be that you want to do to extend your farm operations, The Bank of Toronto is ready to discuss your plans with you.

Found This Summer In Many West- ern Ontario Counties D*scvip- tion and Life History Metlm-ls of Control. (Contributed by Ontario Department of Agriculture, Toronto.) IT is always a matter of concern when a new pest is introduced Into a country and especially when that insect attacks an im- portant crop such as corn. In August the European Corn-borer a Euro- pean Insect was discovered in On- tario and extensive scouting by ento- mologists revealed the uppleaaant fact that it was distributed over about three thousand square miles, being found in the counties of Welland, Halidmand, Elgin, Middlesex, Oxford, Kent and Huron. In some of these counties only small areas here and there seem to be infested, but in others the infestation is much more extensive. The worst infestation is In Elgin County, between St. Thomas and Port Stanley where several corn- fields showed from 50 to 90 per cent, of all the plants to have been attack- ed. There is no doubt that Ihe insect could not be so widely distributed or abundant unless it had been here for several years. It seems st range that no corn-grower reported it, but the explanation doubtless is that they thought It was some old pest that had become abundant for a year or two and would soon pass away or become of no importance. It is impossible at this stage to say how great a menace the insect will be; for no one knows, not even the best informed entomologists. Judging, however, from what we have seen thte fall it cannot be ex- terminated and will gradually spread throughout the province and prove a greater menace than any other corn Insect of the province. Yet, there is very little doubt that by the joint co- operation of the Dominion and Pro- vincial Entomologists, together with entomologists of the United States (for the insect occurs in New York and Massachusetts), a practicable method of control will be discovered and corn continue to be as success- fully grown in the future as in the past. It may be of interest to know that ever since the insect has been dis- covered vigorous efforts have been made by the Provincial and Dominion Departments of Agriculture, through their entomologists, to find otil every- thing they could about it by scoulins expeditions throughout the south- western part of the province and by- studying the , insect in the field, fhey have also brought the Agricul- tural Representatives to ee Its work and discussed with them methods of control. Plans are moreover on foot for a very careful study of the insect by both Departments next year, in- cluding methods of control. -Valu- able information of any kind as soon as discovered will, of course, be fur- nished to ihe press so as tn be avail- able to every farmer. Brief Hi - IT ipi i.ni and Life Hl.story of (he Insect. The borer, full grown, is a moder- itely stout caterpillar about one inch long, pale brownish to white In color on the upper surface and white be- neath, with a brown head and several brown spots on each segment of the body. These spots are not very con- spicuous to the uuked eye but can be seen easily with a hand lens. The winter is passed in the larval stage In burrows inside corn-stalks or cobs, and sometimes in weeds. In the spring the larvae feed to a slight ex- tent and then pupate in their bur- rows. In June the moths begin to appear and lay their eggs In small white clusters on the leaves. The larvae hatching from these feed for a time on the leaves or developing tassels and then begin to bore into the stalks and eai, making holes and tunnels in the former and eating the kernels in the latter. As the cold weather approaches the larvae all make comfortable burrows for them- selves in the stalks or inside the cobs or in weeds. There is only one brood a year in Ontario as far us is known. Nature of the Injury. Injury is done chiefly by the larvae burrowing into the canes and caus- ing them to break over with the wind; tassels especially break over easily. A further injury is due tr> larvae feeding upon the kernels in the ears and by disease, especially in wet, warm weather, entering through the holes, both in ears nnd stalks, and causing rot. Although all kinds of urn are attacked, table and flint varieties suffer most and dent least. Methods of Control. The methods of control that natur- ally suggest themsel-ves are as follows: 1. Sow dent corn unless thre is some special reason for preferring Hint. 2. Cultivate well in the early sea- son to keep down weeds so that these may not harbor the pest. 3. If you have not a silo build one if you can because all borers in corn put into the silo are killed. 4. Cut the corn just aa low as pos- sible for otherwise many borers will be left in the stubble, but if cut very low over 90 per cent, will be taken into the silo. 6. Put the corn into the silo as soon as possible after cutting to pre- vent borers coming out of the cut stalks and entering the stubble. 6. If there la no silo and the borers are present It will be necessary to burn the stalks and cobs or to run them through a shredder to kill all borers present. In conclusion -we request any per- son outside of the counties referred to above, on finding a borer in his corn, to put U in a tin box and send it either to Mr. Arthur Gibson, Dom- inion Entomologist, Ottawa, or to L. Caesar, Provincial Entomologist, O. A. College, Guelph. This will help ua In our work against the peat. L. Caesar, 0. A. College, Guelph. ... v, * -
