Anticipated 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.

Classes and numbers of stock to be carried was deter­ mined, and a -physical balance of feed to be produced was pre­ pared. A plan of development for the farmhouse and surroundings was outlined, and a financial plan of operations during 1951 was drafted. During the evening session, Mr. Hare and his “students” dis­ cussed the farm and the training course. In this way, Mr. Hare said, Mr. Macintosh was given valuable information concerning the operation of his farm, while V.L.A. regional settlement offi­ cers received on-the-job training. Some 425 veteran-farmers like Macintosh, who has a wife two small children, are set­ on V.L.A. farms in the Lon- region. The field day was tenth in a series which will 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. considers- accomoda- took place Insurance - Fire's Worst Enemy If your home burns, your neighbors may sympathize, but that doesn’t pay off.

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. Both Crop Report For Hordh County by R. G.
