The two- y sessions were devoted to the introduction of eight new models of farm and utility tractors in an arena show and later in field demonstrations, and a tour of nfe company's Farman Works, where the new 66 Series line is being manu- factured. Dealers from across Canada and the United States attended the two-day meetings. The new tractors are designed for more profitable farming and have the strength to match their looks, Mr. Vincent said and added that with new engines and all-new styling they offer easy driving, new comfort and safety features„ improved hydraulics, and high- accuracy draft control systems. Dairy farmers can take steps to prevent a drop in production during the summer, says Ge.orge Jackson, dairy cattle specialist with the Ontario Department of Agriculture and Food. One of the first places to watch is, the pasture now out of the spring bloom period. As the pasture matures, .both its digeStibility and the amount consumed drop. Most dairy cows, says Mr. Jackson, are able to produce 35 to 40 pounds of milk per day on good pasture. However, pro- duction can taper off unless proper steps are taken.

Wastes 'Can Pollute Area Ground Waters • • Pasture Renovation Can Pay Off Would you like to spend $:/.50 per acre in fertilizer in the fall, and harvest four times as much hay the next year? Suppose you repeated the application the fol- lowing year and were able to harvest seven times as much hay as a result of the two treat- ments. If, for $15 worth of fert- ilizer, the two-year yield jumped from 27 bales per acre to 153, would you be 'interested? A pasture renovation trial carried out by the1<emptville College of Agriculttfral Tech nology gave these fantastic res- tilts in 1969 and 1970. The field selected was low ill fertility, and poorly drained, and had been a meadow of sorts since 1960. The growth on,it consisted of weeds, reed canary grass, quack grass, timothy and about three small plants of bird's-foot tre-foil per square foot. It was yielding about half a ton of poor quality hay per acre each year. In order to remove the shield- ing effect of weeds and grasses, the experimental area was sprayed with 5 pounds product of Dalapon per acre in October 1968, at a cost of $6.25 per acre for material. Ten different combinations and rates of fertilizer were tried in the test. All paid off, but the best dollar returns, noted•above, came from, the application of 50 pounds each of phosphorus and potash applied in two suc- cessive years. High density feedlots, with a population of 500 to 1,000 animals per acre, are "a potential source of groundwater nitrate pollution. This is one finding presented by professor L. R. Webber, De- partment of Soil Science, Univer- sity of Guelph, to the International _Symposium on Identification and Measurement of Environmental Pollutants held in Ottawa recently. With the trend to large live- stock and poultry operations, waste disposal is a major problem. As an example of the amount of nitrogen produced, Professor Webber gave figures from various operations, all of which produce the equivalent of 150 to 1.65 pounds of nitrogen. This is the amount necessary to fertilize one acre of corn land. One thousand broilers housed for 10 weeks, 10 hogs confined for 175 days, or two beef cattle or one dairy cow confined for one year all produce this amount of nitrogen. However, said Professor , 'Webber, when large" amounts of animal waste are donverted into nitrogen, there can be more nitrogen than the soil can use. The result could be pollution of groundwaters. Professor Webber said groundwater flowing under an un- paved barnyArd near Guelph had concentrations of nitrate- nitrogen in excess of 10 mg/1, the upper limit set by health author- ities for potable water. Dilution to acceptable levels occurred within 20d yards of ,the barnyard, however. DEAR DORIS - I try to be nice to 'the boys, but I' never seem to be the lucky girl at parties.

To calculate the energy in a ration, oats is rated at 65, corn at 80, barley at '75 and food concentrate (either soybean meal or a 32. or 36% protein supplement) at 70. From these figures, says Mr. Jackson, it is obvious a ration will have to contain a large orcentage of corn or barley TO reach a 75% energy level. • Hot, humid weather will also lower production, says Mr.Jack- son.

Most farmers are aware of the protein level, but for production, Because of the difficulty of disposing of or using all the waste material, Professor Webber made some recommendations - based on data gathered at the University of Guelph. First, Since a yearly application of manure equivalent to 400 pounds of nitrogen per acre is excessive in terms of ground- water quality, a disposal rate of 200 to 300 pounds per acre of nitrogen-equivalent manure is recommended. Secondly, manure disposal should be limited to the season when the crop is growing. Disposal in late fall coincides with the period of maximum dis- charge of nitrogen. This is acceptable,, said Professor Webber, provided the waste is applied to well-drained, non- sandy soils and during a crop's active growing period.
