In principle the idea is good, but there are many problems that could arise. One, of these difficulties is that there are many varieties of alfalfa and each has a 'different maturing period. Along with this problem some farmers have dif- ficulty in estimating when their fields are one-tenth in bloom. In the orchard grass-alfalfa mixtures, the ideal, time to har- vest is when the orchard grass ^heads are just coming out of the boot and are not fully spread out. If taken at this time the farmer will obtain the highest yield of hay and protein. If- a crop is harvested in the late bud or early flower stage, the quality of the yield in protein and energy will be high. This type of product is relished by cattle and should be the goal of every far- mer. Along with the high quality yield, there may also be several cuttings before September 1, if the timing of the harvest is right. In the brome-alfalfa mixture, harvesting 'when the head is just emerging from the boot is the best time. In the timothy-alfalfa com- bination, harvesting before the alfalfa can grow into full bloom will produce a better quality pro- duct. If the harvest is allowed to wait until the alfalfa is in full bloom, the quality will be de- creased, as the head will have completely emerged from the boot and started to bloom.,This in turn will not be liked as well by the cattle as the type harvested prior to blooming. To enable the farmer to time the harvest correctly, he should Watch not-only the alfalfa but also the grasses or legumes, using thett as an indicator. In this way the harvest will offer more to-the farmer and to his cattle. COME TO STEWART'S FOR FORMAL RENTALS GETTING MARRIED? Do what a,!-1 sm-art people do.

Mr. Sholdice invited everyone to his home for coffee, where they ate their lunch sitting in their backyard with such beau- tiful surroundings. They were all asked to sign a guest book and Mrs. Alvin McDonald thanked Mr. and Mrs. Sholdice for their kipd , hospitality.

OTTAWA - There is .not one newspaper in Canada that hasn't carried stories about Canada's gold-plated aircraft carrier, HMCS Bonaventure, during the past year. But like so many other hap- penings In Ottawa, theaBona- venture scandal, as the case has become, is not an easily-judged situation. Parliament's public accounts committee began delving into the carrier's expensive 1966-67 refit in early 1969, and brought the final committee report be- fore the `Comnpris in mid-May this year The report flayed both-44e department and defence pro- duction department - and em- ployees of both - for fudging figures, giving false testimonyto the committee, sloppy account- ing work, and carelessness. It charged that the Bonaventure re- fit had been allowed to escalate from an estimated $8 million to $17 million. I covered the 'public ac- counts committee hearings on the Bonaventure's refit pretty well from the beginning. You could tell at an early stage that the committee members smel- led political blood. Deputy Defence Minister E. B. Armstrong and Deputy De- fence Production Minister G. W. Hunter squirmed and sweat- ed their own blood during seem- ingly endless days" of testimony as the incredulous committee pried out the story of ridiculous estimating procedures. Naval captains T. W. Max- well and J.A.Lynch joined their superior' on the rack; as did L.E.St. Laurent and R. D. Wallace from defence produc- tion. , accompanying loss of feed nu- trients. While the exact rela- tionshipbetweee_siln size, silage moisture content, and seepage loss/is as yet Unknown, experi- ence has shown that for most' _silos, seepage losses are negli- gible if the silage is 65% mots- rerarless; In addition, a high silage moisture, content can have a de- pressing effect on the silage dry matter intake by cattle. Many re- searchers have -assumed that ad libitum (or free choice) daily dry matter intake in animals is , li- mited at silage moisture contents above 65%. However, research results on this subject are often conflicting, with some -reports indicating no effect of moisture percentage on silage dry matter intake up to a moisture content of 75% or more. Research on this question is continuing. For most adapted hybrids, a , 65% moisture content corres- ponds to a grain moisture content ,of 35 to 40%, or an ear (cob plus grain) moisutre Content of 40 to 45%. This will normally occur depending upon the hybrid and the environment, -during the week be- fore grain maturity. By this stage maximum plant dry matter will have been attained for almost all the corn hybrids grown in Ontario a possible exception being a few hybrids in the extreme south- western Ontario area which con- tinue to produce dry matter up until grain maturity. In summary; plant moisture percentage appears to be the only necessary vide in deciding when to harvest corn silage. If the corn is dry enough for proper ensiling, it will have reached its maximum, feed value per acre, even if it has not yet reached its makimum grain dry weight. The public was outraged by the revelation that it had cost $258.20 to repair a medicine cabinet; $839.70 to repair a wooden bureau; and $41.50 to replace a drawer handle. The committee had a good case, which was reinforced considerably after the mem- bers made their investigation trip to look at the carrier in Halifax and discovered they had been given false _testimony. But the committee went too far in its report, removing much of the weight their inves- tigation should have carried by exaggeration. In fact, the refit cost $10,290,090 - the amount paid to Davie Shipbuilding. The committee jacked up the price to $17 million by adding on such factors as crew sal- aries and Government-supplied stores-, items that were not in-, eluded in the original estimate. And the committee was un- fair to name individuals and call for disciplinary action.Thb Bill of Rights stipulates that those called to testify before a committee have, the right to be represented by counsel - as Davie Shipbuilding was during the hearings. None of the in- dividuals called to testify were advised of ,this right and they were -cross-examined thoroughly without benefit of counsel. Were I one of those naval officers accused, tried , and con- Yicted in public by the committee without recourse to defence, I would be tempted to demand a court martial from the service to, clear my name. Capt. LynCh, for example, is condemned for bad paperwork, but there is no mention of the fact that he'accomplished all the 'furniture repairs necessary on the Bonaventure for slightly over $200,000 - when Davie Ship- building had said it would cost more than $500,000. ' Capt. Lynch admitted before the committee that he had cut corners and gone shOrt on pap- erwork. to save time during, the Bonaventure refit.

By contrast, the movement"of newly formed sugars within the plant. continues up until grain maturity. During these last few days sugar materials are being moved stead- ily out of the stalks andinto-the grain. • - If only the grainis harvested, it is essential that harvesting be delayed until after maximum grain dry weight is achieved, that is, until black layers are visibly obvions at the base of most corn kernels. If the whole plant is to be harvested (as in silage produc- tion) it does not matter whether this carbohydrate energy !sail in the grain or whether ,some of it remains in the Stalk.For silage production, harvesting can take place several days prior to grain maturity without changing the to- tal amount of feed energy in the corn- plants. There are, in fact, advantages to harvesting silage before com- plete grain maturity is attained. With earlieriarvesting, fewer' plants will have lodged, and fewer kernels will pass through cattle undigested. How early can corn be en- siled? The three researchers point out that if corn is harvested too early, 'high plant moisture concentrations will result in ex- cessive seepage lossee with an GET YOUR FREE Shopping Spree Tickets at FINNIGAN'S Plant Moisture Guides.
