W. Montgomery announced Tuesday... - Laverne Godkin, R.R.l Dublin, and Marion Hemingway, R.R. 2 Brussels, chosen top noy and girl in junior farmer and junior institute activities during the past year, will visit New York City and Washington, D.C., on their United Nations tour. They leave Sunday morning for a week’s trip. Runners-up in the county, Larry Wheatley, R.R. 1 Dublin, and Mary Broadfoot, Brucefield, will spend a week visiting agri culture points in Eastern Ontar io and the cities of Montreal and Quebec City. Expenses for the trip are fi nanced by the junior extension i Fred's Radio And TV Service Technician r 106 ANDREW ST., EXETER Phone 120-W fund provided by Huron County Council. To be eligible youths must compete in grain and livestock judging competitions for at least two years and be active in jun ior farmer and 4-H programs. The girls are selected for junior institute and 4-H Homemaking club activities. Show Musical Talent Huron junior farmers intend to show the county that not only are they good agriculturists but they have talents in the music field too. Tuesday night in Clinton the juniors formed their own county choir which they hope will per form over district TV and radio stations and in provincial com petitions this winter. Thirty-eight members attended the initial organization meeting and more are expected to join later. Deadline for membership is October 15. Choir leader will be Mrs. Carl DougalJ, R.R. 1 Wroxeter. Temp orary President is Bert Pepper, R.R. 3 Seaforth. To show that they’re serious about their new venture, the juniors have imposed strict reg ulations on themselves. Fines will be imposed on members who are late and any members who miss three practices in a row will be suspended. Second practice for the choir will be October 1 in. the board rooms at Clinton between 8.30 and 10.30.

V, S. Logan of the Central Ex perimental Farm, Canada De partment of Agriculture, Ottawa, advises that under these condi tions the feeder can make reas onably accurate estimates of his storage requirements for both silage and hay. Taking into consideration the rates at which he wishes to feed : the respective roughages and the anticipated winter feeding period, he should store sufficient extra .feed at harvest time to al low for losses and wastage of approximately 25 per cent for silage and 30 per cent for hay. With the development of loose housing barns and the adoption of self-feeding devices both for hay and silage, the question is' asked as to how much silage and hay cattle will consume when access to ...................... „ 5? The variations that exist between quality and palatability of hays and silages make it impossible to estimate accurately the pro portion of the individual rough ages that will he consumed in these cicumstances, With adverse weather condi tions during harvest time it may be advantageous to store the greater proportion of the grass crop as silage. This would ne cessitate a higher rate of silage feeding, and with self-feed ing some arrangement ' would have to be made to limit the access to the hay supply, Otherwise three units of silage to one of hay is a usual ratio to allow.

I found much of inter est in the Agriculture Products Division, the junior and 4-H Club hall exhibits and the 4-H Club and the open classes of livestock. Fortunately, champion steers were being placed and in other sections the top 4-H Club calves were being selected. Our Peter L. • Graham from Ilderton was on hand with a fine string of 5 Clydesdales. Pictures taken will, we hope, show something of the varying landscape, and some farms and farm homes, cities after all were cities, though each had its own individual points of interest. The University of Kansas at Lawr ence and various public build ings were impressive, Our hurried trip gave us a fresh appreciation of the im mensity of the United States, of the great variations from highly productive to desert areas, of the marvels of-modern, travel by air and a fine network of highways, the hospitality of .the people and the pleasure of be ing back in this seettion of On tario once more. It was an in teresting trip. —Continued from Page 9 what superficial nature, were made of the states erdssed on our return by car. New Mexico was quite like Arizona, with vast stretches of near desert and other areas with dried grass which doubtless provides apprec iable pasture in season with rain. .Northern sections of Texas and Oklahoma were also extremely dry, but have vast stretches of rich prairie land which produce top crops in seasons with ad equate precipitation. * One former county agent visit ed at Delhart, Texas, had prac tically no crop this year, though on occasion has had on his 5,000 acre? as much as 85,000 bushels of wheat. He has, however, ele vators with 300,000 bushels cap acity. Filled to the top with gov ernment surplus wheat paying 1 cent a bushel storage, the ele vators make a very good return. Incidentally we were to the top of these 120 feet high struc tures and got a grand view of the fertile farm land in the district. Inspects Hereford Ranch Nearby at Stratford, Texas we visited the fine Hereford Ranch of Pronger Brothers. On some 10 to 12 thousand acres of land’they carry a cow herd of 600. Many of these- were on Sudan grass which had managed despite drought to make fair growth. A carload of bulls being fitted for the Denver sales,- was however being fed on' California alfalfa shipped in at $30.00 per ton, less $7.50 per ton allowed on a Gov ernment Drought program. A 4-H club steer was admired with the father of the 4-H girl commenting' that/she had her calf "doing right well” gaining over 3 lbs. per day, ' Crops in much of Texas and parts of Oklahoma and Kansas consist mainly of fall wheat and grain milo* or sorghum. The question was whether to plant wheat in the dry ground. Many were waiting for rain, while a few sections that had showers had already seeded. We faced a cool north wind through Texas and I asked one service station operator if this was typical Texas weather. He had noted our Canadian licence and commented: "I was just go ing to ask you to close the door when you get back home; we don’t need all this cold air down here.” > On dry range many cattle feed in groups of four and five, ap parently realizing they must spread over wide areas to get a bit of picking, Large numbers were on feed in stock yards and specially devised feed lots to carry them'through to hoped for rains and grass. Sees 4-H Competition As had appeared from the plane East Kansas has fared better in the matter of moisture, and farms -had a bit more the appearance of general farms in Ontario.* Comitig from London, the wide streets and neat appearance of towns and cities in Kansas and adjacent states were impressive though the almost complete lack of trees was most noticeable. At Emporia in Kansas, for the first time on our homeward trip did we find streetside trees. To wards the coast, of course, there were the magnificent rows of palms, oleander and other west coast types. As we came through the last few miles of Missouri and crossed the Mississippi at Hannibal in to Illinois, farms showed mark edly what adequate moisture can do. Vast stretches of Illinois. In diana and Ohio presented a wonderful picture of the almost unbelievable fields of corn and the immense stretches of ■soy beans. In these states, too, farm herds of beef and dairy cattle became more numerous, and the hogs and poultry were noted in abundance.

Their use perpiits it to be dbne far more rapidly than by the old method of chemical analysis and without injury to the living plant or animal. ' Extremely minute, quantities of a number of elements such as phosphorus, calcium, cobalt, car bon and others, used by plants and animals in their growth, when made radio-active, can be mixed with much larger, non active, quantities of these ele ments and makes the absorption and movement of these elements within plant and easily followed. Instruments, to movements have from the familiar and are so sentitive that the amount of carbon given off in an animal’s breath can be detected and measured. . Chemists engaged in animal nutrition research at Science Service, Department of Agricul ture, Ottawa, have used radio active carbon and calcium to trace the movement of these two elements in the animal’s system and determine the method by which the animal, converts them into bones, meat and milk. In western Canada wool grown in an area deficient in sulphur was a basis of study.

Scientists at the University of Saskatchewan have used radio active phosphorus in numerous experiments to determine the form of phosphorus in fertilizers, most readily used by plants. Their tests indicate that for Sas katchewan prairie soils ammon ium phosphate is the form most readily available for grain crops. Measurements of the phos- horus taken up by plants at dif ferent stages of growth revealed that most of the phosphorus sup plied through fertilizers is taken up by wheat plgnts prior to the heading out stage. After "head ing the plants continue to take up quite large quantities but it is taken from phosphorus from the soil rather than from the ferti- lilzers. In their experiment, ap proximately 22 per cent of the fertilizer phosphorus was re covered by the growing plants. • • insur- at to- House Burned i would your present ance cover the loss . day's cost of construction?
