We hear of marginal farmers
and the dangerous position they
are in. This ordinarily means the
farmer on the poor farm that
scarcely produces an existence.
There is another marginal farmer
who is in an equally precarious
position, The farmer who runs a
beef, hog or poultry enterprise
on a bought feed basis, He buys
his livestock for a price and also
his feed, He works strictly on a
margin. He is in the same position
as the man who plays the grain
market on margin, There is a dir-
ference, The marginal farmerf playing the grain .market just.

The Grass Needs Help
Old bossy has been chewing away on
pasture for quite awhile now. The grass
this year has been pretty good too. But
now its beginning to lose it palatability
and food value. Protein and vitamin
content are falling off.., On hot days
bossy doesn't eat too much either.
Your cows need a BALANCED dairy ration to hold
up milk production. Possibly you have noticed some drops
already. And you know that once they go down its mighty
hard to bring them back up.
See us now about the right
feed to fill your need — 34%
concentrate, 24% supplement,
16% ration or Bulky-Las for
fop feed.

In these days of man-made planets we
tend to overlook this old, but still
miraculous, earth that feeds and pro-
vides for us all.
That over 60,000 babies are born into
this world each day—more than enough
to repopulate the whole of Canada in
less than a year—goes unnoticed.
That these 60,000 new mouths will be
fed on the produce of this small earth
does not make headline news!
Yet, when we consider this astonish-
ing growth in the world's population,
we must wonder how it is that our
standard of liying—measured in terms
of food consumption—remains so high.
Bow is it possible when there has been
little appreciable increase in the world
farm acreage and a decline in the ac-
CAM-. HEMINGWAY)
Perhaps by the time this gets
in print the farmers Will have
progressed far enough in their har-
vest to have time to read again,
Again it looks as if farmers in
this area will have: a bountiful
harvest, True, the first cut of hay
Was a bit short but in most cases
a second cut will make up that
shortage. The grain crop is turn-
ing out exceptionally well, so our
fears of a month ago were largely
unfounded.
Now that we have the crop,
what will we do wth it? Can
the average farmer afford to take
the one profit and sell his grain
as a cash crop? It seems to me
that farmers need to put more
emphasis on the production of
their own farm. To do this he
needs to make the most of that
production and get as close to the
retail market as possible.
His hay can be fed to dairy or
beef cattle of his own raising so
that when he sells milk or • beef,
whatever he gets will be his own,

Farming Report
(By A. S. Bolton, assistant
agricultural representative
for Huron County)
"Threshing and combilning is
approkimately two-thirds complet-
ed on Huron County farms. A good
deal of ,coinbined straw will be
gathered and! stored during the
next week. Grain corn crops con-
tinue to make good progress and
early crops are cobbing very well,
Farmers do the south end of the
county are taking advantage of
the good weather to harvest sec-
ond cut hay."
Some of his grain will go to his
cattle, also any balance can be fed
to poultry or hogs. In this way
feed will be purchased only as a
supplement, to cover any slight
shortage in, his production And to
balance rations,
