Progressive farmers will be doing a great service to their class , and so to the nation at of taking corn after old grass this year , if they large . if they will watch carefully the effects will note the cases of failure and of success alike and where possible inquire into the causes for success or failure . Obviously in this way much valuable information may be obtained which should prove useful in the supreme effort at corn production which our farmers Valuable Heavy MR . JOHN NORTON will Sell by Auction , are being asked to make in 1917-18 . And Light HORSES Consigned by Farmers and Private Owners , £ 54 offered in Prizes The conversion of old grass to arable in this country is in great measure a lost art . Our forefathers used to pin their faith to paring and burning and distributing the ashes . This had the effect of ridding the soil of weed seeds . of improving the texture of heavy land , of securing a compact seed bed and of bringing into forms available to plants considerable quantities of mineral food . A certain amount of organic matter or humus would be lost in the process , but old grass fields can generally afford to part with some of it .

Wireworms usually leave the sods before the latter are dry enough to burn . The process described is too laborious under present conditions as to men and machinery , and other means ' must be adopted for achiev ing similar results on heavy soils in the S.-E. counties .

Beans and peas vary considerably ; there are many poor fields of beans , and weevils have The acreage under potatoes is nearly 10 per cent . greater than last year . The plants are just showing and look very strong , healthy and vigorous . Mangolds are a promising crop , and a good plant , but weeds are prevalent . Few turnips have yet been sown . A slightly over average crop of hay is an- ticipated , from about the same acreage as last season . Fruit prospects are excellent , especially for orchard fruit , apples particularly promising a heavy crop ; but there have been severe at- tacks of caterpillar .

But there are many exceptions , mostly small men who have not been farmers long or who had extremely Such men the Government is very- anxious to help ; and that was one of the reasons for recent arrangements with the Joint Stock Banks to provide short- term credit , at five per cent . , to enable farmers to buy seeds and manures for certain crops . Experience seems to indicate that the limita- tion of the credit to cover only these things is neither necessary nor desirable ; and it is hoped shortly to enable farmers to get similar credit for the purchase of any farm requisites . That this will be a real advantage to the country may be demonstrated by one of a number of cases reported lately to the Food time of the year . Production Department . An Agricultural Exec- utive Committee urging a small farmer to do more cultivation , found that the farmer had just lost one of his two horses and had no money with which to buy another ; and there- fore it was doubtful whether he could culti- vate his farm as well as he would have liked or as the Executive Committtee had suggested .
