In addition, the sample bn the right was sprayed with 15 gallons per acre of Na-Churs Liquid Fertilizer. This produced an increase of 11.4 bushels per acre. Rubber The Times-Advocate These Farmers Used "Na-Churs" For Higher Fall Wheat Profits ED 'CLEVELAND, of Blenheim, in Kent County, reports a 13- bushel increase on lais field of wheat. These results are based on actual combine test made, by Garnet Cleveland. This in­ crease gave Mr. Cleveland a net profit of $12.30 per acre. A yield check taken at the farm of WALTER MEYERS, Tod- morden, shows an 185-bushel incerase on the wheat that was sprayed with “NA-CHURS”. GUS HUNTER, of R.R. 4, Chatham, reports over 14 bushel in­ crease on his crop of wheat. Mr. I. Simle of Dubuck, Sask., reports an increase of 21 bushels and 27 lbs. per acre on the farm of MR. P. ASPLUND. On the farm of MR. HUGH POWELL at Waldron, Mr. Simle reports an 11 bushels, 22 lbs. per acre increase in the Selkirk wheat crop. Na-Churs increased the net profit on this yield $26. per acre. MR. JOHN GLAVIN, R.R. 1 Clandeboye, Ont., reports: “I spray­ ed my fall wheat with “Na-Churs” and an actual field check shows 15 bushels and 18 lbs. per acre increase over the un­ sprayed area in the same field. Wheat sprayed with “Na- Churs” at the proper time certainly pays off.” 1f You Grow 30-40 Acres of Wheat You Can Increase Your Profits $300-$400 Spraying on “NA-CHURS” this fall develops longer, stronger root structures to help your wheat winter better. “NA-CHURS” will give fall wheat a much quicker start next spring. . Foliage Feeding ■MK. Foliage feeding is the direct application of “Na-Churs” to plants by spraying on the leaves. The leaves of growing plants con­ tain pores through which they absorb moisture and gases from the air. It has been proved that liquid fertilizer applied to the leaves of most growing plants is absorbed and used by the plants rapidly and efficiently. Use Any Type Of Spray Equipment Any type of sprayer may be used to spray “Na-Churs” on the foliage of any crop. If you do not have/ spray equipment, there are custom sprayers in most localities who will do the work. When used as directed, “Na-Churs” will not clog spray equip- fnent. "Na-Churs" 10-20^10 “Na-Churs” 10-20-10- is manufactured from the highest grade of material available. “Na-Churs” is a liquid solution which is readily available to growing plants. It is formulated according to the accepted formulas for the primary plant nutrients-nitro­ gen, phosphorous and potash, together with minor and trace elements. t3 ...Scientific Report Show$ Value Of Foliage Sprays Government bulletin No. 45929, “The Contribution of Atomic Energy to.Agriculture” records statements by Dr. H. B. Tukey, Head of the Dept, of Horticulture, Michigan State College. The following are excerpts from Dr. Tukey’s report: “I think the most exciting news is in the foliage feeding of plants—that plant can take up nutrients through the foliage. Here is a case where the farmer has really gotten ahead of the scientist as so often happens. He has learned that foliage feeding is helpful and he has adopted the practice, , “Wc have seen that materials are absorbed by the plant and move rather freely in the plant. The amounts at first seem relatively small, but to offset this Handicap, the efficiency is high, “It is now thoroughly established that there are regions on the leaf where materials may enter and are actually almost like a blotter, drawing them right down into the leaf,” For Complete Details Write or Phone PETER ANDERSON, GRAND BEND, Ph. 62-r-7 ROY MASON, R.R. b GRAND BEND 1ED CHAMBERS, CR»?DITON, Ont Your District drop Service Men or Write [Varna Man Tops Fruit !• Pred McClymont, of R.R. 1 , Varna, again dominated the fruit and vegetable sections of this year’s fair.

Sounds silly, you say? Bacon doesn’t produce hogs--hogs pro­ duce bacon. This time, you’re wrong. Ba­ con does produce hogs--in fact, Albert G. Bacon, of Belgrave, produces the best hogs in this part of the country. Mr. Bacon topped the hog com­ petition at Exeter Fall Fair with five firsts, a second and three thirds. He nosed out Hugh Fil- son, of R.R. 1 Denfield, who scored three firsts, two seconds and two thirds. Mr. Filson, however, displayed the best pair of bacon hogs (not Bacon hogs-Filson had his own).

While not accurate perhaps, for this area, they are thought­ provoking for the farmers. In a few years this type of chart should be available from our lo­ cal area as soon as the local of their activities on county and provincial levels. Feed-price relationships are i important in livestock profits be­ cause feed makes up 60 to 80 percent of production costs. The exact percentage varies with the class of livestock. Reduce Feed Costs Two ways to reduce feed costs are to feed efficiently, and tQ se­ lect breeding stock carefully for high rate-of-gain or high produc­ tion. Managerial decisions are all important in this area of live­ stock production. Producers often must accept wide fluctuations in returns from their livestock en­ terprises. Returns were unusual­ ly irregular in the past 5 years.- The table shows the returns per $100 of feed fed to various livestock enterprises during each of the past 5 years in Illinois. The 23-ycar average of the re­ cord-keeping farmers is also given. These longtime averages are approximately the break­ even point for the period cover­ ed. The difference between the re­ turn figure and thez$100 feed cost represents the margin available to pay for labour, equipment, supplies, interest 4>n investment, and provide for profits; The mar­ gin need to pay labour and other costs varies with the kind of live­ stock. Hog returns were at a 23-ycar low in 1955. Dairy and poultry farmers suffered their low in 19- 54, owners . of beef cow herds and cattle feeders in 1953, and Huron County Crop Report By G. W. MONTGOMERY v From Sunday, September 16 to Friday, September 21,1.56 inches of rainfall fell in the' county, with the result that harvesting operations were again curtailed. Approximately one-third of the spring grain crop is still to be harvested, Much of this crop is rotting in the stook—some farm­ ers are stacking the sheaves as a last resort. The harvesting of the canning' corn crop is in full swing,, but has been somewhat hampered by the wet weather and muddy con­ ditions of the fields. The white bean crop is nearly all ripe, but harvest operations have been slbwed down because of poor weather, Because of this the crop is rusting, badly and pulled beans are rotting on the ground. The immature crop suffered •severe damage from heavy frosts' during, the week. This crop heed­ ed two or three weeks of fine weather to properly mature, Attendance at fall lairs has been ■ considerably below normal? One fair was rained out and an­ other postponed during the week.. Fourteen 4-H clubs with' good exhibits and excellent comple­ tions were the main attractions at the three fairs held in county during the week.
