G. Taylor, Poul- try, Division, Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa. As the breeding flock becomes larger the tendency is to pay less attention to the individual in the flock and in turkey raising this pit- fall must be avoided at any cost. The male and females making up the flock should be well matured and at least ten months old at mating time. Forcing immature fe- males into production is almost 'a sure way to the production of poor poults. Fertility may be good to fair but hatchability may be low Phone 3 LA- AVON PRODUCTS NEED FOUR dies, thirty or over to fill open ter- ritories in Oshawa and Whitby, no ex- Jetience 1 Decessary, but neat and enor. 847, rimes-Gazette, ale) LARGE WORLD-WIDE COMPANY has an opening for an Experienced COMPTOMETER OPERATOR Apply MASSEY-HARRIS CO.

Feed liberally on energy produc- ing feeds and attempt to use vari- ety in the rations, Use a good growing ration until about four weeks before eggs are needed and then feed a well balanced hatchery ration and continue during the lay- ing period. This hatchery ration should contain 16 to 17 per cent protein, Turkey eggs produced early in the season should be gathered often and protected from severe cold, They should be held at a temperature of 45 degrees to 55 degrees F', and turn- ed daily during the collecting per- fod. The eggs should not be held longer than two weeks and the fresher they are when set the bet- ter will be the hatch, other things being equal. In cubation may b2 done by the mother turkey, or in incubators, The use of the incu- bator in the hatching of turkey poulets is recommended because of the advantage of keeping the poult free from disease, particularly blackhead. If turkey poults are hatched in incubators, reared in brooders and kept on clean ground, fed and watered in a sanitary me- thod there should be: little or no 2 | death rate during the growing sea- son, BRITAIN OFFERS CITIZENSHIP TO CHILD REFUGEES Britain's active sympathy with the plight of hcemeless children from Europe is shown by the Home Sec- retary's offer to child refugees of the opportunity to atquire British citizenship. It is anticipated that about 1500 such children will take British citizenship papers as a re- sult of the offer, Potatoes For Livestock While potatoes are not usually may be profitably fed in certain years when there is an aburdant crop and prices are not to high, says 8, B, Williams, Central Experi- menta Farm, Ottawa, Potatoes may be fed in various ways, namely raw, cooked or dried or as potato silage, the last two forms being of value where the sup- p.y is such that there is danger of spoilage bafore they are all fed, w potatoes are most suitable as feed for ruminants and require 0 preparation except that they should be sliced or chopped to avoid )| any possibility of losses from chok- ing . Green potatoes and potato sprouts contain smal] amounts of a poison "solanin" and should not be used as feed.. Cooked potatces are normally used as a feed for pigs and may be either boiled or steamed; if boiled, the water in whizh they were boiled, should be discarded. Dried notatoes may be fed either soaked or ground in with the meal mixture; however the cost of dehyderation is usually such as to prohibit their use for commer- cial feeding. Potato silage can be made from either cooked or raw po- tatoes but before being ensiled the mass must be inoculated wiht two to five per cent of ground corn in order to bring about the proper type of fermentation, Working with beef cattle the Ex- perimental farms have found that for fattening steers using a hay- grain-silage ration the silage can be successfully replaced by either raw potatoes or soaked dried pota- toes or the meal mixture can in- clude up to forty per cent of ground dried potatoes, In"this ex- periment no significant difference between the various lots was shown in rate of gain, gain-fed ration, or carcass quality, While the dried potatoes caused no difficulty, care had to be taken in feeding the raw potatoes in order to avoid diges- tive disturbances, such as scouring. It was found that 20 to 25 pounds per day is the it for steers weighing around 1,000 pounds, In this experiment it was found that 100 pounds of raw potatoes was eq- ual to 14 pounds of barley and that 100 pounds of ground dried poto- toes had the same value as 125 pounds of barley. Dried potatoes when soaked and used to replace corn silage dropped in 'value toy 88 per cent that of barley, In a series of trials with hogs the Experimental Farm have found that raw potatoes lowered the rate of gain slightly and increased the amount of food required per 100 pounds of gain. This, however, was not true when the potatoes were cooked but the economy of cooking the potatoes will of course depend directly on the cost of such a pro- cedure, Other potato products in- cluding dried potatoes and potato silage gave satisfactory results. In no cases did the feeding of potatoes prove detrimental to carcass qual- ity, In summarizing all trials with hogs 100 pounds of raw potatoes were equivalent to 17 pounds of bar- ley while 100 pounds of raw pota- toes, cooked, were equal to 22 pounds of barley. The values for 10) pounds of raw potato silage, cooked respectively. In ducts were fed tion. Progress of Sail s| Survey Work, Soll survey work has been con- ducted in all of the Eastern Prov- inces by the Dominion Experimen- tal Parm Service in co-operation with the Provincia] Departments of Agriculture for various of time, The first surveys were be- gun some. 20 years ago in Ontario, while in Prince Edward Island this work was started only four years ago. The main surveys of the sof] sur- veys is to provide an inventory o Canadian soll resources and also to provide a basis for soil research problems, planning of production, soll conservation, and the solution of spzcial problems, says P. CO. Stobbe, Sol] Specialist, Central Ex- perimental Farm, Ottawa, Much progress has been made and to date about 51,000,000 acres have been surveyed in Eastern Ca- nada by different types of surveys. The surveyed land includes occupi=- ed land, abandoned farm land and virg'n fore:ted land, Some of this land has been covered by broad general surveys in order to obtain a general picture of the soil re- sources and to determine which areas warrant closer studies, while other areas have been surveyed in considerable detail. A considerab- le percentage of the occupied land in Eastern Canada still remains to be surveyed. The results of the soll survey have brought to light many interesting facts 'and have made some valuable contributions towards the solution of many #oll and crop probmems. Thus it has been well established that certain soil types with speci- fic characteristics are best adapted for the successful production of many special crops, such as tobacco, apple orchards, market garden crops, sugar beets and flax, Many soi] types are eminently better suit- ed for the production of some of the ordinary farm crops than are other soll types and at the same time some crops thrive much better on certain soi] types than do other crops, Extensive manurial fertilizer and liming treatments are required on certain soil types for successiul crop production, while other tolls 1espond very little or not at all to suc treatments, Unsatisfactory physica] conditions such as poor or excessive drainage, compacted sub- soi's, poor structure, excessive stoni= ness or steep slope are more ime portant factors limiting crop pro- duction on many soll types than lack of fertilized nutriments, It has alsp been noticed that certain sofl types are much more erosive than other soll types on similar topogra= phic positions. Many of the soils which have been abandoned and some of the soils which are still being farmed can be rated at best as marginal or submarginal agricultural land, How- ever, some of the soils which have been abandoned would produce satisfactory crops if properly mane aged. Most of the unoccupied for- ested land In Eastern Canada is unsuitable for agricultural develop- ment but there are still some good areas where the soils would be well adapted for farming, « THE CIRCLE IS NOW COMPLETE Since that cold, bleak da December, 1939, when the 1 soldiers of the 1st Canadian oo « ision began rolling into Halifax on 35 Canadian National Rail ways troop trains up until the last contingent returned home on the Aquitania to the same port on January 20 last, 1,200,000 service- men have been carried in and out of the Atlantic by the Can- adian National Baitways on 3,266 troop trains. heh in the 4 World War, e brunt of ca: TOO0PS, Su Ries and munitions + the Secon a upon th N.R,, not only be- cause of its greater mileage but Canadian route to the Atlantic seaboard, a fact of {reat Hale: gle impertancy as long as orld Bug] fell - most Fri di because it is the only direct all-| provided n | United States remained a neutral country.
