Veterans’ Land Act settlement > hilly, stony, wooded and

of Alex Macintosh, about two.
miles west of Lucan, in a practi
cal training demonstration of
balanced, farming last Wednes
day.
Mr. Macintosh, an R.C.A.F.
ground crewman for four years
during World Wai' II, has had a
V.L.A. farm since late 1947, and
V.L.A. officials were using it as
a “guinea pig” for a one-day
course to train London regional
officers in balanced farming.
Headed By Chief
H. ‘R. Hare, of Ottawa, a
widely known farm economist,
and now superintendent of farm
development for V.L.A., headed
the course.
Mr. Hare said balanced farm
ing is “the most efficient use of
all resources available on the
farm, welded into a program
that will provide security and a
worthwhile
family”.
Fourteen
cials were
starting in the morning and last
ing all day at the farm, and
winding up about midnight at
evening sessions in the offices of
the Middlesex agriculture repre
sentative, Keith Riddell, in Lon
don.
Regional Officials
Regional V.L.A. officials frqm
Middlesex, Lambton, Norfolk, El
gin and Oxford counties, headed
by B. E. Foyston, regional super
visor, first noted the acreage of
fields " ‘ '
crops and which may be includ
ed in - — '
They then took stock of the
farm’s resources, reviewing build
ings to determine suitability and
capacity for housing livestock of
different classes and for feed
and nlachinery storage. Farm
machinery was inspected, and its
condition and adequacy was re
viewed.
New Plan Drafted
A new plan of the farm was

During the evening session,
Mr. Hare and his “students” dis

said, Mr. Macintosh was given
valuable information concerning

Infantrymen Shoyld
Get Highest Pay
(St Marys Journal-Argus)
The call for recruits for in
fantry service by the Canadian
Government this week, brings up
the subject of pay and allowances
for those hardy and much-mai-
igned foot-sloggers who still are
proving in Korea the backbone
of the army. Ever sjnee mechani
cal means have been employed in
war, the troops of the British
and Commonwealth Armies have
been graded for pay, the mech
anical chap getting the gravy
while the risk-taking infantry
man received the lowest money
reward and the least
tion when it comes to
tion and rations.
Judging from what
in the Air Force in World War
II, the infantryman is due for a
big .boost in pay. In fact he
should draw danger pay for
every day he spends up the line
in contact with the enemy ,or in
training f to meet the enemy.
Casualty' lists in two world wars
prove that, in comparison, the
infantryman has by far the most
dangerous job, so if a flying man
draws flying pay for taking
risks, the infantryman should
get the same treatment. It is
about time the Department of
National Defence and the Govern
ment at 'Ottawa got wise to these
facts. If the pay was raised for
these fighting infantrymen the
recruiting people would find they
would get plenty of good men
and leaders to take the risks of
the deadly game of section and
platoon leading in modern war.

Experiments Show Sugar Beet
Tops Make Excellent Feed
Few sugar beet growers make j to three quarter of a ton
full use of the tops from their alfa hay when fed to the
sugar beet crop.. In some eases {The lambs did not make

available at beet harvest time to the steers. Beet-top silage was
pile or haul the tops from the found very laxative aud because
fields, but in most cases it is of this should not umke up more J
due to a lack of appreciation of
the value of the tops as feed for
livestock.
To determine the feed value of sugar beet tops, experiments!
have been carried out by Dr-
Frank Whiting at the Experi
mental Station, Lethbridge, Al
berta, during the past two years
using yearling Hereford steers
and feeder Iambs. The tops were
preserved as silage by hauling
them from the field while still
green and piling them in a stack
about 10 feet square. (The size
of stack built xvill depend upon
the amount of tops available).
One group of ten good quality
yearling steers and one group of
38 range lambs were fed a ra
tion of alfalfa hay and grain,
while another group of 10 simi
lar steers and another group of
38 similar lambs were fed .a ra
tion in which one half of the j
alfalfa hay was replaced with
beet-top silage. An attempt als'o
was made to feed another group
only beet-top silage and grain
but they scoured so severely that
some alfalfa hay had to be add
ed to their ration.
The group of steers ted beet-
top silage, alfalfa hay and grain
outgained the group fed only
alfalfa hay and grain. Both
groups required about the same
amount of teed per pound of
gain, in the case of the lambs,
both groups made approximately
the same gain, but the beet-top
fed group required more feed
Per 100 pounds of gain. In all
cases the beet-top fed group had
higher grading carcasses, than
the groups not fed beet tops.
On the basis of these experi
ments 3 tons of beet-top silage
(64 per cent moisture) were
equivalent in feed value to one
ton of average quality alfalfa
hay when fed to the steers, and
than one half of the roughage |
| allowance on a dry mutter basis.,
Since the average crop of
beets <11 to 12 tons per acre)
| will yield sufficient tops to make
3 to 4 tons of silage, the tops
from an acre of beets are equiva
lent to at least one ton of alfalfa
hay. At present feed prices the
tops from an acre of beets are
worth at least $20.00 to $25.00
when fed to fattening steers and
. lambs.
No preservative is necessary to
ensure good silage fermentation
nor is it necessary to trample the
stack as it is built. Care should
be taken however, to keep the
tops ns free from soil as is pos
sible. If the leaves have become
somewhat dry before being haul
ed from the field, water should
be added to stock to provide op
timum fermentation conditions,
j Well preserved dean beet-top
silage is very palatable and high
in feed nutrients required by
cattle and sheep. It makes a
very valuable addition to any
feedlot ration.
