Goodin, speaking at the annual meeting of the Huron Crop Im­ provement Association at Clin­ ton Friday, Mr. Goodin, assis­ tant director of the crops, weeds and seeds branch of the Ontario Department of Agriculture, warned that “our crop yields are not as high as they were earlier in the century.” The spectre of soil-destroying erosion is closer in Ontario than Mr. this No. and “I eyes; I didn’t think we were so close to it, There were the gullies form? running topsoil be re- many people realize, said Goodin.

The work of the county crop improvement assoc iations, he said, made a real impression on the select committee of the Ontario Legislature that recent­ ly reported on conservation pro­ blems in the province. The com­ mittee is recommending, he,an­ nounced, that bigger grants be paid by the Ontario Goverment to help county C.I.A. projects. ‘‘We should be giving more attention to the weed situation,” Mr. Goodin advised.

From good soil, good crops can be taken; from good crops, good livestock can be fed; from good livestock, community prosperity will result. “We’re looking at the weather and complaining about it,” said Mr. Goodin, “When we should be looking at the soil and improv­ ing it.” Mr, Goodin was introduced by Harry Strang,. Exeter, a’ past pre­ sident of the Huron Crop Im­ provement Association. Among those attending a noon luncheon at the Hotel Clinton, •which was one ’of the items of the C. I. A„ annual program, were Elston Cardiff, Brussels, M.P. for Nortli Huron; Thomas Pryde, Exeter, M.P. for South Huron; A. Y. McLean, Seaforth M.P. for Huron-Perth; Charles- Routes, Belgrave, president of the Huron Federation of Agricul­ ture Mr. Cecil Johnston, Ash­ field township, warden of Hur­ on; Charles Bannister, Ailsa Craig; registered grain, expert; Walter Mayo, Denfield; J. M. Scott, Seaforth, poultry expert; tural College, soils expert; Ken- tural Colege, soils expert; Ken­ neth Murphy, Deparment of Ag­ riculture weed-control expert. A panel discussion at the aft­ ernoon session made available the knowledge of Mr. Scott, Mr. Bannister, Prof. Bryden, Mr. Strang, and other specialists to any members of the C. I. A. that wished to ask questions. A warning against pasturing too close in September was given, by Prof. Bryden in response to a question ment. “In this doesn’t pay too close in September. The kil­ ling out of the clovers is the re­ sult, when the plant does not have enough foliage to manufac­ ture and store plant nutrients in the roots. October pasturing won’t affect the storage of nut­ rients in the roots; the only rea­ son for not pasturing too close in October is to save something on top to hold the snow.” Elmer Armstrong, president of the C. I. A. for l>950, report­ ed on experiments on his farm with grass silage. As much as 10 years ago,, he said grass silage was made successfully on the Robertson place, us|ng.a cut of twitch grass and alfalfa from a neglected piece of land. It kept perfectly, he said, and with­ out molasses. Another year, he said, grass silage was made suc­ cessfully by cutting a mixture of late oats and early barley, with a binder. This year 32 acres of grass filled two 42-by-14 silos. “I think cattle will eat more grass silage than they will corn silage,” said Mr. Robertson.

Cudmore Consider the honor and integrity of him who makes -the goods before you buy.” That was the counsel a wise man of ancient Bagdad gave to a young man who wanted to know how to get his “money’s worth.” It’s still good advice today . . . when we say “look for the John Deere trademark.” For more than 110 years farmers have sought out the John Deere name as their assurance of quality when buying farm equipment. They know that the familiar leaping deer has always labeled only farm equipment designed and con­ structed to give them the maximum service at the lowest possible cost. Today, more John Deere equipment is being sold than ever before. John Deere regards this farmer confidence as a sacred trust that is guarded zealously in maintaining John Deere service and quality “true to tradition.’” EXETER W. G.
