Novel Flower Show
The Exeter Horticultural Society
has developed an interesting plan for
displaying flowers. Instead of hold
ing numerous flower shows in build
ings or other secluded places, window
displays are arranged in the leading
stores and shops of, the village.
The plan is to arrange for a dis
play of each leading flower in season.
A committee is appointed for each
display and members Are encouraged
to enter their best blooms. No prizes
are offered, but nevertheless compe
tition is keen in such leading kinds as
Roses and Gladioli.

Professor Knox Promoted
Announcement is made by Hon.
Duncan Marshall that Prof. R. G.
Knox, who has been connected with
Ontario Agricultural College since
his graduation in 1920, is to be head
of the Department of Animal Hus
bandry. The position has been va
cant since Prof. J. C. Steckley, form
er head of the department, was nam
ed agricultural representative for
Brant county.
Prof. Knox has had a wide exper
ience, and is known throughout the
■entire province as one of the leading
judges of hogs. This summer, Mr.
Marshall announced, Prof. Knox will
go to England to select a number of
Yorkshire swine which the province
plans to purchase in order to improve
the breed in this country.
Hugh McFadzean, a young Scot,
and a graduate of West Scotland Ag
ricultural School, has been appointed
to a junior position in the department

Fertilization of Pastures
Good pasturage has long been re
cognized as a real factor in success
ful farming. Particularly so, where
live stock and live stock products
form the major source of the income
Experience has shown that there is
no other period of the year when the
unit cost of production can be main
tained at as low an average as when
live stock are out on pasture, and
that when it is a good pasture the.net
returns are still greater.
Fertilization of pastures has been
practised at the Dominion Experi
mental Farm, Nappan, ,N,S., for the
past fourteen years. Since 1929 de
finite experiments have been under
way to permit a more thorough study
of the value of fertilization of pas
tures, as well as rotating versus con
tinuous pasturing.
The results to date, from the use of
complete fertilizer, have shown a
very definite increase in the carrying
capacity; furthermore, that this in
crease is profitably obtained from the
use of fertilizer, The results also
show that a slightly greater carry
ing capacity can be obtained from ro
tating the fields, but in some cases
this increase may be offset by the
increased cost of fencing.
In brief, the carrying capacity, dur
ing the past five years, has been as
follows:—
Fertilized rotated pasture ........
........... 1.79 cows per day per
Fertilized continuously pastured
......... 1.74 cows per day per
Unfertilized continuously pastut

Cut Hay Early and Save Feed Bills
By Dr. O. McConkey, O.A.C.
Hay in Ontario’s most valuable
crop, producing 37% of the total value
of all field crops, or over $47,000,000.
It covers 39% or 3,500,000 acres of
the farm land of the province.
BRITISH TROOPS STILL ON GUARD
Although forbidden to carry arms
because of the continued anti-Jewish
rioting, the voluminous robes of the
Value of Hay Exceeds Gold
For the ten-year pgdiod, 1925-1934,
the value of Ontario’s hay crop was
approximately double the value of the;,
gold production in the province, <?.g.
$701,402,000 as compared with $356,-
906,000. . ,
It is the digestible nutrients in a
crop that really counts when it comes
to feeding. Hay provides digestible
nutrients at less cost than other
crops, with the exception of good pas
ture, which produces digestible nut
rients at the lowest cost of any of
our crops.
Relatives Cost Per Ton of Digestible
Nutrients
Pasture ....................................... $3.34
Alfalfa Hay...................................$8,40.
Timothy Hay .......... $10.33
Oats ......----------------------- ------ $16.12
Increase the Feeding Value of the
Hay Crop
The hay crop will be harvested in
the next few weeks and its feeding
value can me increased several mil
lion dollars by (1) earlier cutting, (2)
careful curing to preserve leaves.
It takes protein to produce milk,
and protein is usually the high priced,
part of the ration, so if you can get
more protein in your hay by cutting
early, you can lower the cost of feed
ing. A high quality early cut hay is
not only high in protein, but it is also
high in green leaves. This is import
ant because early cut, green leafy hay
contains more protein, more vitamins,
more minerals, more aftermath pas
ture and less woody indigestible fibre
than late cut stemmy hay.
