If you’re painting the outside
of your house, TITAN WHITE ONE-
COAT House Paint can save you time and
money. For painting over previously painted
surfaces, one coat of Titan White gives hiding
power and protection equal to two coats of
ordinary paint! And Titan White is self clean -
It stays white season after
season.
For the modern trend to gay, natural
colors for outside paintwork, try the
new Ranch Tones. There are seven
exciting new colors plus 21 beautiful
tints and intermixes to choose from.
They’re durable too, because pigments
and paint' oils have been specially
chosen to ensure a tough, weather
resistant paint film and maximum
color permanence.

Pastures
Perhaps the wet weather of
the past month has worried the
mixed farmer but anyone with
large grass acreages has voiced
very few complaints, except that
it could be a little warmer to
promote growth. The next two
weeks may have higher tempera
tures and, with a few showers,
clovers and grasses will again
spurt ahead of any other crop.
Saturday night a friend asked
if we had started haying. No,
but we hope to in about three
weeks, weather permitting, on
a field that has already yielded
16- to 24-hour pasture days in
April. This is enough to con
vince us that, as we were won
dering in February, certain types
of grasses and adequate fertiliz
ing pay off. We firmly believe
they do.
Immediately, an older farmer
present when we made the above
statment, shook his head in dis
belief. Hay the first week of
June? The man’s crazy. Maybe
we are, but again we are con
vinced that this hay harvested
early in June will have more
TDN than hay made the first
week in July. Also we will have
a better chance to harvest
second crop and have even

INDEXES SHOW
IMPLEMENT PRICES
AT LOW LEVEL OF INCREASE
That implement prices have been kept at a low level is clearly shown,by the
comparison of Dominion Bureau of Statistics index figures, which give an increase
in "all commodities” since 1941 of 82.1% as against an increase in a comparable
index for Massey-Harris implements of only 66.9%. This low percentage, of
increase, too, is shown in the face of an increase in the index figure for materials
of 94.7% and of Massey-Harris hourly rates of pay of 173.9% as can be seen by
referring to the chart shown above.
Also, the indexes show that while farm implements have only increased 66.9%
there has been an increase in the price of farm products of 82.6% and the scarcity
of farm labour has caused farm wage rates to increase by 177.6%.
Farmers depend upon mechanization to offset the scarcity and high cost of labour
and the indexes show that prices of such equipment have been maintained at a
comparatively low level of increase. Farm equipment with its time and labour
saving advantages offers exceptional value for the money.

dairy farmers in the county. For
several years he has been pour
ing on the plant food on pas
tures, He applies his phosphates
and potash in the fall. Not be
lieving all he hears or reads, he
does not apply his nitrogen in
late March or early April, but
rather whenever he has a pas
ture mowed by cows. Being very
interested in cost of production,
he believes that by loading- the
grass to the limit is cheaper
than mowing with machinery. By
rotating he is carrying more
than a cow to the acre with 24-
hour pasturing.
A very effective way of rotat
ing a large pasture is to lightly
manure certain areas that seem
to be eaten shorter than others.
This is in effect a heavy applica
tion of nitrogen. Strip grazing
can be carried out by manure
or aeropills at different times.
We do have to admit we know
very little about growing- good
pasture and hay. We learn new
angles every day; from practical
farmers, from government in
formation sources., and from dif
ferent farm magazines. It is one
of the most intricate and
thought-provoking crops in ope
ration of a mixed farm. It is
also the crop with the highest
net return for capital invest
ment with proper management.
DID YOU KNOW?
Grass is one of the surest cash
crops produced.
