The past few weeks public ciding whether to feed corn and livestock markets have been supplement to grass-fed steers flooded with unfinished grass-1 figure the corn at $l‘5O a_ bush- fed butcher cattle. The reason* ’ ” ’ according to the experts is the jlush green pastures throughout ■ the province. Many of these cattle were bought last spring as speculative issues at high prices due to abnormal demand and will definitely show very small profit margins and in many cases-net losses. The cry is, what can we do about it? Every buyer and ship per of livestock listens to the same complaint daily every where they go and many of them have nothing to offer but sympathy. Many farmers feel that a producer association ; would clean up the mess-Tom- pnyrot-the farmers, who think thus had better begin, to get ed ucated. Your opportunity for profit comes from increasing the val ue of the present weight of the cattle about $3 to $4 a hundred pounds. For example, a feeder might take $12 to $15 loss for each steer on feedlot gain from a full feed of corn. But he still might increase the value of each steer by twice that amount be cause oF*higher finish and grade when he sells them.

During the week considerable progress was. made with the cutting and vstoring of second cut hay, pulling and threshing of the white bean crop, seeding of fall wheat and a start was made with silo-filling. Because o' this the six fall fairs held in the county were poorly attended, except the Bay- field Fair where a good crowd was on hand for the centennial program. a More farmers switch to Surge Milkers for safer, faster milking, (adv’t) GENERATOR - REGULATOR REPAIR DEPOT We have complete equipment .to cKeek your, generator or. regulator on or off the car.

Turnip Sales On Increase The Canadian rutabaga, more commonly known as “turnip” or “swede” is being harvested from Ontario farms. At this time of year tractor-trailors and railway cars daily carry Jarge quantities to various parts of the United States, and each year the do mestic consumption is increas ing also, according to the Field Crops Branch of the Ontario De partment of Agriculture. • Weather conditions this year have- been favorable for the pro duction of 'a very high quality turnip—smooth, attractive in ap pearance, free from water core and of excellent flavor. Turnips are recognized as a very good source of Vitamin C or ascorbic acid. This is 'espe cially true when they are eaten raw, and they make an excellent addition to salads where they also provide a touch of attrac tive color. Science has done a great deal ih recent years to improve the quality of Ontario turnips. Some varieties, such as the Laurentian have been developed which have a sweeter disposition than their ancestors. The old adage that —Please Turn To Page 14 < lOCALiRAMMAlk).
