Area Firemen Battle Blazes In Blyth District Blyth area fire brigade respond- ed to two calls Monday morning, April 3. The first call was around 9 a.m., from the farm of Harold Carters RR 2, Auburn, where his pig pen was on fire. The firemen managed to keep the fire confined to the pig pen, although the main barn of the farm was only 10 feet away, but the pig pen, with 60 pigs, was totally destroyed. known, and it was impossible •to immediately estimate the damag- es, as Mr. Carter had very recent- ly completed a new section to the building, and the burned pigs were of various sizes. A second fire alarm sounded around 9 a.m.; this time the call came from the farm of Simon Smit, where his chicken barn was on fire. Mr. Smit can give no rea- son for the fire, as the building which was burned to the ground, was fortunately empty. No esti- mate was given of the damage by Mr. Smit. In the past six days Blyth fire brigade have successfully combat- ted as many fires: Monday after- noon, March 27, a chimney fire at Londesboro; Wednesday afternoon, a grass fire at the home of Wm. Brumley, 13th concession of Hul- lett Township, which had presum- ably been ignited by sparks from the chimney; damage to the n orth side of the house was set at -$2,500.

Timothy Looks Best For Mixture What grasses do best with birds - foot trefoil? An experiment to find this out has recently been completed at the Ontario Agricultural College. Field crop scientists there, after three years of testing, found timothy was the best for trefoil mixtures. "Besides giving a good yield of 5800 pounds of hay, the timothy (it was the leafy climax variety) matured close to the same time as trefoil," says Dr. D. N. Hunt- ley, Head of the Field Husbandry Department. Bromegrass and reed • canary grass provided less feed than timo- thy. Dr. Huntley feels the 5,100 - pound yield of brome and 5,400 pound yield of reed canary were too low to warrant using either one as a first -choice grass in a mixture with trefoil. Orchard grass yielded even lower — only 4,800 pounds -- and was the poorest grass in the test. "Most other grasses aren't too useful with trefoil because they mature too early or too late. For example, meadow fescue matures almost two weeks before trefoil. By the time trefoil Is ready to graze or cut, the fescue is woody." He suggests a seeding rate of eight pounds df trefoil to four pounds -of tirhothy per acre.
