MOISTURE RESERVES AND CROP YIELDS

The yield of spring wheat in soil where moisture extends down to one foot averages 6.5 bushels; when the moisture goes down two feet the av- erage is 11.9 bushels; and down to three feet the yield is around 18.2 bushels,

The above results have been obtain- ed in the course of extensive tests by ugronumists of the ~ Unitéd States Bureau of Plant Industry. The con- clusion was reached that when mois- ture is down to one foot or less at seeding time, the chance of enough rainfall in the growing season to make a good crop is less than one in six,

CARBON UNIT HAS QUOTA OF $52,000 IN THE SIXTH LOAN

Plan Now to Buy All The Bonds Possible

According to word received by S. F, Torrance, local Unit Organizer for the Sixth Victory Loan, Carbon and district has been asked to raise the sum of $52,000 when the drive for the Sixth Victory Loan opens next Monday, April 24th,

Mr, Leveque, organizer for the Na- tional War Finance Committee was in Carbon Tuesday and met with the local committee, and explained var- ious phases of the campaign which opens Monday.

Carbon Unit has always raised its previous quotas, and it is confidently expected that the quota of $52,000 in this Sixth Victory Loan will also be reached, Farmers, in particular, in the Carbon district have benefitted by the | higher market price for wheat, and with the participation certificate pay- ments expected immediately there should be no excuse for any farmer not buying at least one bond.

The money for the quota at Carbon now lies in the local bank on deposit to its clients, and the owners of these , deposits may as well be receiving 3% | irterest on their money, The security is the best there is, and by buying bonds with their money they will have

helped to hasten victory and bring

our boys home from overseas just that

much sooner. oO oO OO

SAWFLY CONTROL ESSENTIAL

Unless control is practised general- ly, crop losses from sawfly damage in Alberta will be heavy in 1944, warns J.L, Eaglesham, Supervisor of Pest} Control, Sawflies will be present this year wherever they were seen in 1943, In districts where sawfly damage was noted last year, losses during 1944 will be greatly increased unless con- ; trol measures are undertaken,

Two years ago, this pest hxgvested just over 10 per cent of the Province’s | entire wheat crop. On some farms the sawfly harvested all of it. The sawfly population has been increasing annual- | ly and is likely to continue to do so | with corresponding increase in crop | damage, It is time that this pest was taken seriously, Wheat is at present | worth more than a dollar a bushel, | but the price of wheat will mean little to Alberta farmers if, as a result of the sawfly damage, it is necessary to cease production of this crop,

Although experiments are under way with a view to developing a saw fly resistant wheat, the work is still in the experimental stage.

Present methods of sawfly control are satisfactory and fairly simple, Un- til such time as the development of a resistant wheat is perfected, farmers are advised to make full use of these methods,

RATES OF CROP P. ARTIC IPAT TION CERTIFICATES ANNOUNCED

Canadian wheat farmers are to re- ceive close to $60,000,000 for their participation certificates for wheat harvested in 1910, 1941 and 1942, it was announced by Trade Minister J. A, MacKinnon. The minister said about 200,000 farmers will share in the payments,

He added the first cheques to be mailed would be to holders of certi- ficates on wheat sold to the Canadian Wheat Board in 1940,

The actual value placed on the cer- tificates for each of the three years, based on No. 1 Northern wheat, are as follows: 1940, 6% cents per bushel; 1941, 14 7-8 cents per bushel, and for 1942, 11'4 cents per bushel,

The actual per bushel payment for each grade will vary to allow for dif- ferential between the initial spreads under No, 1 Northern, which are esti- mated at the start of each crop year, and the final spread from the sale.

Work crews are to commence im- mediately on final hard surfacing of sections of the main Calgary-Edmon- | ton highway, according to information

received by the Alberta Motor Asso- ciation.

The first object will be the “armor plating” or laying of the final course

on the section between Calgary and Crossfield. As soon as this job is fin- ished, crews will start on the road between Edmonton and Millet, Certain projects in the southern part of the province also are on the pro- gram but it is expected that final se- lections will be deferred until a survey is made by the minister of public works, Hon, W.A, Fallow, and depart- mental heads, They will start next week on a tour of various districts at first hand. Meantime, plans are being made for the development of the district high- ways program, for which $550,000 was voted at the recent session of the leg- | islature. Delegation from different

WEEDS—THE CROP ROBBERS

Next to lack of rainfall, weeds un- doubtedly are the main reason for low yields to the acre, Every weed plant that does not grow means one for the farmer; for a weed plant utilizes just as much precious moisture from the soil as does a useful plant, Large numbers of weeds are often seeded each year with the seed the farmer To clean seed well, therefore, so that all weed seeds are eliminated. is the very first step, and the easiest and most profitable step, that a farm- er can take, This is easily said—not so easily done—It requires a good fanning mill and extreme care in the use of the proper screens and of the

The next important source of weed infection is in the scattering on the fields of seeds from weed plants that are allowed to ripen, If a field is bad- ly infected the sowing early of a crop, such as an early barley that can be cut before the weed plants set to seed, is another splendid method, The ear- liest crop is barley, and the earliest barleys are the feed barleys—-Colsess, Warrior and Olli,

The Future Of Germany

ALTHOUGH IT IS FREQUENTLY STATED by officials of the Allied command that an early end to the war should not be expected, there is bound to be widespread speculation as to the fate of Germany when she is finally overcome. Naturally there is a general desire to see a nation which has so brutally overrun the greater part of Europe made to suffer for her crimes, and numerous proposals have been brought forward in this connection. As in many other matters related to the war, it cannot be expected that the Allied leaders will make any definite commitment in| advance, but it is believed that a plan does exist. Following the conference | at Teheran, when Prime Minister Churchill, Marshal Stalin and President | Roosevelt met, it Was announced that problems of the future had been dis | cussed, and without doubt the fate of Germany figured in these con-| versations.

It is apparent, however, that she will be stripped of all means of building up another war machine or in any way preying on nations. Present plans for a strong European Federation also make it appear unlikely that Germany will ever again menace the security of that continent. One of the most important problems which will arise in connection with the settlement of the war will be the re-education of the German people. The destruction of the Nazi ideology, and the sub- stitution of normal, sane thinking will be an undertaking of gigantic pro- portions and of the utmost importance to the future of the world. |

Wheat Syrup y

New Process Developed In U.S. To Manufacture Syrup From Wheat A process for manufacture of

syrup from wheat has been perfected

in United States and commercial pro-

duction at the rate of 1,000,000

pounds per month “is already under

way,” Cecil Lamont, vice-president of Northwest Line Elevators Asso- ciation, said at Winnipeg.

He said development of the wheat syrup was revealed at the recent United States farm chemurgic con- ference at St. Louis, Mo., from which he just returned. The conference was attended by leaders of agriculture, in- dustry and science from United States, Canada, South America and China.

The process was developed at the United States government's northern research laboratory at Peoria, IIl., and the product now was being manufactured in a beet sugar plant, Its quality and taste equalled that of corn syrup.

With slight plant adjustment, Canadian sugar beet plants could produce upward of 60,000,000 pounds of wheat sugar annually, he said.

{There are two plants in Ontario, two

in Alberta and one at Winnipeg.

‘A A WEEKLY EDITO: LOOKS AT

Ottawa

Written specially for the weekly newspapers of Canado

By JIM GREENBLAT

“Put Victory First” is the title of this week’s article, and this is done without apology. It means the Sixth Victory Loan is in the offing, starts April 24th to be exact. So I’m using my column to have a little talk with the farmers of Canada about the loan. I know how busy you are with the spring sceding underway—I know how difficult your work is without the help of your sons, and daughters, too, who left the farm for the armed forces, and I realize that you just haven’t th: time to read the Victory Loan litera- ture or attend the rallies, so I thought if I summarized the reasons given why Victory Bonds are such a good investment, and how their purchase will assist in bringing victory nearer, it might help you to decide just how many bonds you can buy, I hope you will take a few moments off to read the facts and figures I’ve collected together for you,

In this the Sixth Victory Loan, Ca- nadians are being asked to subscribe a total of $1,200,000,000 to help bring our boys and girls back just as soon as possible from such hells as Hong Kong and Cassino, Doesn’t matter if we’re white collar guys or the fellow coming in from the chores with man- ure on his boots. It’s our war and as much as we dislike such things we’re in it to the finish, The thing about this Loan that strikes me, and I’m not any smarter or stupider than the average farmer, is that buying a Victory Bond means two definite things: 1, invest- ing in victory; 2, investing in my own or your own future, It’s just that sim- ple, The government, charged with running this war for us, is not asking us to “give” our savings, but “lend” them and at a fair rate of interest.

I was interested in a little booklet entitled “Let’s Look at the Farm Front”, in it re some figures from the Bureau of Statistics showing living conditions of Canadian farm house- holds in 1941, I'll just quote them

briefly in case you haven’t seen them.

39.6 per cent farm dwellings were in need of repair; 86 per cent were heat- ed by stoves; 12 per cent were heated by furnaces; 20 per cent have electric lighting; 7.3 had bathing facilities; 8 per cent had flush toilets; 60.7 per cent had radios; 43.7 per cent had automobiles and 29.2 per cent had telephones.

Obviously to make the standard of living higher, and the necessity for this is seen aft>r one digests the above dry statistics, the farmer has got to lay up some cash, or something just as secure as cash, to get himself or his children the things he has been denied for all these years, Besides that it takes cash for replenishment of

equipment and of the soil, Therefore cavings take on a new significance these days.

Times have been good these last few years, due to the war, or any thing else you like, that isn’t a point we want to argue about, Do you know that agricultural income ‘in Canada reached a new all-time peak in 19438, being estimated by reliable official

sources at $1,396,000,000, almost twice }

as much as that of 1939, estimated |) at $722,000,000? This gives the farm. |}

savings program as his first line of |)

defence against the uncertainties of

the future, and goodness knows the |}

agricultural industry can run into un- certainties just about as quick as any thing we know of.

Building up sound farm enterprise doesn’t come about by accident, The big successful industries you hear about have been able to expand by definite planning and in this, the mat- te of setting up reserves is the focal thing as sure as the sun sets in the west, You can do anything if you have cash reserves, and what better way of building up cash reserves than by in- vesting in the Sixth Victory Loan, If a person gets the word “investing” firmly in his mind, there just can’t be any doubt about what he’s going to do, Building for the future on the farm can run coincident with for- sight, planning and hard work but building up a cash reserve means sav- ing. There is no better, surer way of saving than through Canada’s Victory Loan,

Saving is the antithesis of specula- tion, and there was a time out West— where I have lived all my life—where quite a number of farmers went ker- flooey because of speculation instead of saving. In this connection out- standing farm leaders and agricultur- ists have warned the farmers against speculation—speculation in land pur- chases which might lead to land booms—speculation in auction sales unnecessarily—speculation in securi- ties of doubtful value and so on,

I am reminded that recently at Saskatoon, Hon. J.G, Taggart, Sask- atchewan’s minister of agriculture and a former superintendent of one of Canada’s most important experimen- tal stations, warned against land booms and inflation of

land value, | said that 75 per cent of the ills of |

agriculture had been this very source |

—and if this disaster could be pre- vented in the post-war period, som-- thing worthwhile would have been ac- complished.

Who am I, cr anyone else, to preach to a farmer on things of this matter? Well, as I mentioned at the outset this is just a little heart to heart talk with farmers about the pros and cons of the Victory Loan, The National War Finance Committee take stand—and it appears the most logi- cal—that Victory Bonds, despite any- thing to the contrary by evil or sub- versive forces, are the safest invest- ment with which to build for the fu- ture a reserve for the improvement of the farm, for the betterment of farm life, for the whole future of farming in Canada,

It goes without saying if farmers build up reserves now—by saving in the securest manner possible—farm life can be made more attractive for the hundreds of thousands of lads and lassies who will be shedding the khaki and blue some day and taking up the most independent life in the world, that of farming.

NATIONAL WAR FINANCE COMMITTEE

New Method Is Developed To Beat U-Boat

LONDON.—When Captain F. J. Walker, D.S.0., brought his second escort group of sloops into port after killing six submarines, it was a great day for one navy and also proof of the merit in newly-deVveloped tactics, which beat the dangerous pack-hunt- ing technique of the Nazis.

The answer—anti-submarine packs of sloops to hunt packs of sub- marines.

But not so very long ago the ships were not there to constitute such special escort groups as that com- manded by Capt. Walker, who took his ships out on a 20-day patrol and came back with five of his six ships and a bag of six U-boats.

On many occasions, it was a case of providing convoys with just as many—or few—escort ships available at the place of origin. Sometimes it was a case of few and then it de- veloped that guarding ships must remain ever close to their charges.

Surfaced U-boats could sometimes lure corvettes away and then dash

mn for an attack on the merchant vessels. Gradually more destroyers and

sloops and corvettes and the arrival of the frigates, some of them made in Canada, gave the navy the scope it wanted. The “killer” groups were

fotmed and went after the sub marine “packs”.

Capt. Walker's great sortie was one of the results of this policy. Be-

cause of the number of ships avail able he was in a position to detail sloops. to hunt one U-boat for as long as nine hours.

DIVERTING RIVER

Change In Yellow River’s Course Will Shorten Japanese Lines

WASHINGTON.—The Yellow river, which through the centuries has changed its course dozens of times, is once again being diverted time to serve Japanese military pur- poses.

A Japanese Domei agency broad- cast heard by United States gov- ernment monitors appears to confirm earlier-Japanese reports they deliber- ately are shooing “China's Sorrow” into yet another bed.

If true, the change may repre sent a shortening of Japanese mili- tary defence lines in north China by 500 miles, making the difficult-to- cross Huang Ho (Yellow river) run closer to the forbidding Shansi escarpment.

The Domei report, dated April 1 from Peiping, said work is 70 per cent. finished on diverting the Yellow river from its present course into the Wei river which would make it flow into the sea near Tientsin.

Practical Example Of Consultation Machinery Of Allies

LONDON.—Prime Minister Church- ill told the House of Commons that Soviet Foreign Commissar Molotoy’s statement of Russia's purpose in carrying the war onto Rumanian soil “forms a particularly satisfactory example of the operation of consulta- tion machinery between the Allies.”

“The Soviet government was good enough to send the text beforehand,” Mr. Churchill said. ‘We expressed our admiration for it... it cer- tainly is likely to be a great help to the common war effort.”

The prime minister said the ma-~ chinery for such consultations was set up at the foreign secretary's con- ference in Moscow.

Lieuts. Dennis Kelleher, 25, and Stewart Campbell, 22, when back in England said they simply ‘walked out” of the prison camp one evening.

Buying Plants

For quick results, the use of start- ed or bedding plants will help. These may be secured from the nearest seed firm or florist or professional @ardener. They are plants from seed sown indoors, usually in a hot- bed or greenhouse, and are well grown when set outdoors as soon as danger | from frost is over. They now come in a great variety of both flowers and vegetables,

Only by the use of certain started plants is it possible to get flowers| and vegetable maturity in some parts | of Canada. Petunias, for instance, | would hardly reach blooming stage in most parts of Canada if sown from seed outdoors. The same is true of tomatoes, and possibly of cabbage and other things. In trans- ree | these from the flats or bas-|

ets in which we buy them, one should water well, and if the sun is hot it is a good thing to provide a little shade for a day or two. Also, if these plants are in flower or are very tall, it is advisable to snip off flowers and pinch back main stems to encourage stocky growth. |

Speed Up Hints

There are various little ways the experienced gardener uses to hasten things along. With tiny seeds like those of lettuce, onions, etc., sowing will be more economical and need less arduous thinning if the fine seed, is mixed with a little sand and the mixture spread thinly along the rows. Allow potatoes to sprout in a sunny, | warm room for a week or two and) see that sprouts are broken off in planting. Soak the seeds of beans, peas, beets, corn, etc., before planting. |

For tender and crisp vegetables growth must be kept speeded. If) because of neglect, drought or any| other reason growth is allowed to halt) for a few days then tough, woody} fibre results and both flavor and tex-| ture are impaired,

Professional gardeners get quick, | tender growth by pushing things} along. They use a good deal of fer- | tilizer, cultivate at least once a week, | and more often in dry weather, and they give their vegetables plenty of| room for development. This means such things as carrots, radish and) beets, etc., are thinned from two to| four inches apart, and when this space is filled one can start harvest-| ing every other plant, leaving the} rest for further development.

Another way the professionals en- sure tenderness is to have their vege- tables coming along in succession. | They would not think of planting all} their carrots, beets, beans or any- thing else at the same time. They} spread sowings over several weeks. In most parts of Canada one can go

on planting carrots, beets, beans and) other things right up to the middle |

of July, thus ensuring a continuous supply of the highest quality young vegetables, until frost.
