From other plants and yards 741 cattle, 180 calves 626 sheep. SUMMARY All across Canada for the week ending September 17th: This year’s heaviest cattle run was disposed of in the past week with only minor price fluctuations. Some sales of choice and good steers and heifers, notably at Toronto, were 25¢ higher and plainer quali- ties which were in the majority were occasionally a little easier in the west. Cows gained 50c-75c in Alberta but the closing trend was weak at nearly all markets. Good replace- ment cattle sold actively firm .and plainer sorts were only steady to weaker. Alberta hog prices strength- ened 15c to 25¢ and other were un- changed. Lambs gained 650c at Toronto. Slaughter cattle deliveries to eleven public stockyards this week at 33,500 head were 11,000 more than last week and were equal to the same week a year ago. The week's run_was about 6,000 head more than in any week this year. Receipts at eastern markets were up 4,000 from last week and in the west the in- crease was 7,000. The generous sup- ply was well cleared with only To- ronto expecting a sizeable holdover of about 1,800 mostly plain stockers and common slaughter cattle in- cluding cows and bulls.

Demand generally was good and trading active on the heavy supply. There were only occasional and minor changes in the price structure. Choice and good steers sold 25¢ higher at Toronto and plain kinds were down 50c on some Winnipeg sales while Calgary closed weaker and 50c lower on nearly all steers after a steady and strong opening. Cows were strong: sellers early, but were defintely weaker by the close of the week’s trading with a good part of 75¢ and $1 gains in Alberta wiped out. The dressed beef trade was reportedly quite good during the week. DON’T OVEGRAZE PASTURES IN AUTUMN FOR BEST MANAGEMENT Dr. Mills Clarke names heavy grazing of pastures too late in the fall a bad practice. The superintendent of the experi- mental farm at Agassiz explains that such a practice weakens the stand and can seriously delay the start of grazing next spring. And that is the 4-week period when pasture is needed most direly. Newly-seeded pastures or fields that are in prime production must have an adequate regrowth or rest period before the killing frosts occur, he explains. Under coastal conditions, this generally means cessation of grazing somewhere between October 1 and 15. The character of the season will have a bearing on the daté each year. In a very dry season, particular care should be exercised, he warns. As a general rule one should allow for recover growth of at least 6 inehes after the last grazing. Trimming of tali growth and har- rowing to spread droppings. should be carried out immediately after the animals removal. Fields which are intended for ploughing the following spring can usually provide the limited amount, of pasture that is needed in late October or early November. Moreover, the late grazing of such fields will aid in the control of ‘sod grasses in subsequent crop. If old sod is not available for the late fall pasture, a cover crop of fall rye sown in the latter part of August will suffice, he concludes.
