Agricultural Notes From Dominion Dairy and Wheat Outlook
Cattle may eat poison ivy without harm to them but dogs are poisoned. Wheat in Canada has risen to two bushels per week, with a July 6 last year total of 3 950 798 bushels. Tests show diluting molasses on hay increases consumption by growing heifers. Canada’s late-sown crop acreage shows little change except corn and sugar beets. Canadian cattle exports to Great Britain totalled 26 115 head up to July 12, 1934, vs 23 961 last year. Hogs graded in Canada for the first 28 weeks of 1934 were 1 719 796, down 55 339 from last year. Butter raisin dried currants wheat and wheat flour do not benefit from British tariff preferences when imported to Canada. Handpicked in the Fruit and Honey Act 1934 applies unless there is evidence of rough handling or fruit on the ground. Canadian poultry exports of about a million pounds in recent months boosted the market and trade prospects. The thorn apple or Jimson weed, known to Indians as the white man’s plant, originates from garden seeds. Prairie marketings of wheat to June 29 1934 by province are Manitoba 27 753 972 (37 275 275 previous), Saskatchewan 106 419 150 (182 339 342), Alberta 82 302 217 (140 604 307). Our forefathers’ methods are often praised, some verified by science, others disproven. It is up to us to pursue truth, says J F Hockey of the Dominion Laboratory of Plant Pathology Kentville NS.
