Never in our memory have we had a more abundant growth than the past grazing season, Were the pastures over stocked? In some cases — yes. That to us is poor business. But in some cases the cattle per acre was in ration of 1:3, and we don’t mean three head per acre either. The old idea of letting nature supply the plant food to produce grass is as out of date as the walking plow. To begin with taxes are too high today to make it feasible. Fencing is an expensive proposition, and as a clincher the grass the animals consume on these poor pastures is deficient in the minerals that contribute to fast gains or pounds of milk. Hogs and Gluttons Grasses are nitrogen hogs. Le gumes do not supply enough for them and besides the legumes are gluttons for phosphorus and pot ash, both of which are for luxuriant growth grasses and legumes. In some experiments izing pastures, 100 pounds of nitrogen has increased beef gains as much as 233 pounds per acre. Two hundred pounds of nitrogen per acre made an increase of 392 pounds of beef per acre. Now, like all experiments this may not work in your own set-up. Conditions vary. But it does show that these bare pastures could be eliminated and at the be profitable. On some pastures common to see the grass scattered across the field, wherever the droppings fell. This shows what nitrogen can do. It also shows that the soil is lack ing phosphorus, too many farm ers feel that spreading these droppings is necessary. Could be, but the cost is high.'” Why do cows turn up their nose at these spots and pick away at the almost bare ground?

In the Southern United States, where the grazing season is longer, a dairyman took $700 worth of milk off each acre this past year. Whether it can be done here is problematical.

The program was furnished by Mrs. Robert Riley, Mr. Harry Hern and community singing led by Mr. Kenneth Johps with Mrs. Bert Irwin as pianist. Discussions took place on com parisons of rates and benefits of other hospitalization plans in the province. Mr, Paul Meehan, of Toronto, who is secretary-field man for Co operative Medical Services of On tario, was the guest speaker. He discussed the benefits of a pre paid surgical plan, which is avail able for memhers of the Huron Co - operative Medical Services, pointing out that in 3 6 counties of Ontario, over 151,000 people are entitled to surgical benefits under the co-operative plan. It was also disclosed that the hos pitalization account represents about 40 per cent of the expenses, for medical care and that about! 60 per cent for surgery was un-, provided for. j It was also pointed out that a comprehensive plan, which would cover hospitalization, sur gical and medical care would be more costly than people would want to pay. However, the hos pitalization and Burgical plan offered by the Huron co-opera tive Medical Services, which is owned and operated by its mem bers, can give the best benefits available for the lowest possible cost.
