from other stricken areas.
This meeting could be held as

completely assessed their dam

here in Huron,” he said. "Over
all policies and procedures could
be arrived at then. I have been
promised by the

farmers do realize the value of
-legumes and grasses as a feed
and soil builder. It is only in
recent years that the Depart
ment of Agriculture (Research
Department of O.A.C.) began to
release figures showing the value
of fertilizing the hay fields and
pastures, in

an increase of up
more hay to the acre it
cheaper to do so than to rent or
buy more land which auto
matically increases cost of pro
duction,
American research has now
proven that there is a definite
relationship between food value
and fertilization of all fodder
crops. By feeding nitrogen (com
mon nitrate) to grasses and
legumes they claim you can in
crease your protein and by re
commendations, palatibility is in
creased along with an increase of
essential minerals.
The Huron County Soils and
Crop Improvement Association
have perhaps one of the best test
plots on fertilization of grass and
legumes laid down at the Sea
forth District High School. These
plots are being carried on as one
of their projects again this year.
Anyone who attended the Grass
land day held at Seaforth last
year could not fail to be con
vinced of the value of different,
types of mixtures and rates of'
fertilizing. It would pay all the
farmers in this- district to contact
Gerry Montgomery, Clinton, and
obtain full information regard
ing these plots and then take a
Sunday afternoon drive to visit
■them.
The cost of harvesting hay is
another factor that is being given
much consideration today. Pro
fessor Ralph Campbell, Depart
ment of Economics, O.A.C., has
been doing some very excellent
work in this regard .and al
though he has not completed
this work has been collecting
some interesting figures, that
would be well worth investigat
ing before spending $1,000 to
$5,000* in new haying equipment.
Years ago haying was a back
breaking job and a risky propo
sition. Nevertheless, many many
tons of hay cured in coil or tri
pod with cheap labour had more
feed value per ton than much
of the hay made the past years
with hayloaders, forage harvest
ers and pick-up balers. The hay
cured in the coil retained all its
leaves while the hay made with
machinery has a heavy feed loss
due to leaf shatter.
It is too common to drive
down the road today and see a
forage harvester d r awing a
wagon amid a cloud of dust. This
dust is nothing else than good
feed and is downright wasteful.

general account to raise $313,299
on the 1952 equalized assessment
of $54,486,820; and 4.75 mills

■total of $231,569,
On highway rate 16 townships l will pay a total of $173,266; five I
towns $51,051; and three villages
$7,252. Just before rate was for
mally struck a suggestion that a

relief to wind disaster victims in
county was turned down.

GROWING PULLETS, laying

often need a "lift" about now,
to keep them coming full

Chek-R-Ton in their mash, a
"flock treatment" for one week,
gives them that lift.
It's easy to administer — since
all you have to do after mixing
is to give them their feed as
usual. It's economical — costs
only about 21/2 cents per bird.
And it makes a real difference

Crop Report
By G. W. MONTGOMERY
Two hundred and fifty
thusiasts attended the Banner
Ayrshire Picnic at the Langridge
Bros. Farm, Belgrave, on Wed
nesday. Nine senior heifer calves were sold averaging $81 each. j
With the fine weather the earlier !
part of the week, considerable
acreage of corn, soy beans and
white beans were finally seeded
in the county.
Due to the length of the wet
season many farmers are sowing
buckwheat, millet . etc. on
areas which have been too wet to
seed other early crops.
Several farmers in the county
were putting in grass silage this
week and because of the extreme
ly wet weather, it would now
appear that more farmers than
formerly will be putting in grass
silage.

Some oFus were talking cars the other day and Doctor Harrison said lie was sold on
Monarch. I figured a doctor would be pretty particular about the car he drove—so much
depends on it. Anyway, I took the hint and arranged with our local dealer to take me out in
a Monarch. It didn’t take long to convince me—and there’s a Monarch in our garage now.
It’s a beautiful looking car, no doubt about it. It’s got more genuine style than any car I’ve ever
driven—and thai, goes for the interior as well. You can tell by the way people look at it
that it makes a good impression. You know what a stickler I am for engine performance
well, this Monarch has a 125-Hp. V-8 that’s just about the smoothest thing they ever put
under a hood. Lucky thing we had that talk about cars—and I took the cue from my
doctor’s suggestion,”
