Do it mow! Here!” z i z z z z z z An improvement in the fla vour of Ontario turnips due to the elmination of such diseases as Black Leg and Water-Core, coupled with a more attractive appearance, has paid off in an increased demand on the domes tic market. This information was reported at a recent meet ing of the Turnip Committee, Ontario Soil and Crop Improve ment Association at which Har old Hunter, of U.K. 3, Exeter, was elected chairman. In addi tion to the election of officers, Topics From Creditor! By MRS. J. WOODALL the committee also discussed ways of improving the quality and broadening the demand for Ontario turnips. The disease known as Black Leg which threatened the turnip industry in the late thirties and early forties has been almost completely eliminated in the past decade, thanks to the work of agricultural scientists. Seed treatment has proven to be the most effective remedy. Now all registered seed is treated, but, just as a precaution, many grow ers treat their own turnip seed before it is put into the ground. An occasional crop is still found to be infected with this disease, but such cases are usually due to infected soil and a build up of disease organisms over the years, rather than infected seed- Likewise, water-core, another serious turnip malady, is now well under control. Growers have learned that “an ounce of pre vention is worth a pound of cure”. As a result, applications of borax, either directly to the soil, or jn the form of spraying or dusting growing plants, have become general farm practices with many turnip growers. The result has been fewer tur nips with “black streaks” and coarse texture.

Grass green and while the cattle seem to be more restless in the stable, it is our opinion this restlessness is more in the farm ers mind. He’s tired of doing chores morning, noon and night, e>ery day including Sunday, so he says, “Let’s turn them out. They’ll do better,’’ But will they? We doubt it, if some form of supplementary feeding is not carried out. Cattle are like children with candy. They like grass so well that they have a tendency to overdo it. They’ll gorge themselves on grass with a protein analysis of over 2'0 per cent and then they will scour. Did you ever increase your protein in the stall to this level? Well, if you did, you know what happened. The cattle became gaunt, the milk increased mo mentarily and then fell it was hard to bring it the former level. Central Experimental Ottawa, warns that more damage can be done in this manner, both in beef and dairy cattle, than ap pears at first glance. They re commend that beef and dairy cattle have available at all times (and especially in early spring), dry hay in order to bring down the protein level of grass to approximately 16 per cent. Re search has found that a dairy cow’s system can assimilate feeds up to 17 per cent protein. After that she tends to scour, become lighter in weight and decrease in milk So it to have bales of and if it is beef cattle, to have some feed troughs there to scat ter some grain in them. Ontario grains are estimated to contain approximately 10-12 per cent protein and in conjunction with some dry hay and ample soft green grass should give more of a balanced ration than will the grass alone. A balanced ration will definitely give cheaper gains than an unbalanced one. This is more apparent in pigs, poultry and also in milking cows. Results of changes are also more easily seen in these animals than in beef gains unless regular weighings are carried out to check the gains in weight. Then the question arises. Will the loss in • weight cost more or less than the cost of the sup plementary feeding? That’s the $64 question. No one that we know of can produce figures. There are too many variable factors. To mention only a few —type of cattle, feed cost, labor, price of meat, and a host of others. But it does give us. the farmers something to about.

It is reported that the land has firmed par ticularly fast and that moisture conditions are not as hindering as might be expected. Fall wheat is reported to have come through the winter excellent condition. The higher pastures are ing up very rapidly and expected that some livestock will soon be out grazing.
