This winter.Elect Officers In Middlesex Increased, interest in Federation of Agriculture activities, was evi­ dent at the annual meeting of Biddulph and London townships last week when 125 farmers were present. Tli? meeting was held in Hply Trinity Church, Lucan, and feat­ ured .reports. on Federation prog­ ress by county officials. Harold Lucas, Middlesex rep­ resentative on the Ontario Fed­ eration, described the achieve­ ments of the pipeline committee including negotiations of higher prices for easements and estab­ lishment of new contracts. The pipeline affects the Middle­ sex townships of East Williams, Metcalfe and Adelaide, W. W. Garrett, Middlesex Fed­ eration president, discussed gen­ eral progress during the past year. Among the highlights of the program were the promotion of the use of stilbestrol for livestock gain, change of office locatipn and the hiring of a new secre­ tary, Don Middletqn. Mr. Middleton urged all farm­ ers to support co-op insurance in order to secure the most eco­ nomical rates. Guest speaker at the banquet was Rev. J. P. Prest, Lucan, who drew attention to the power and importance of the rural com­ munity and its spirit. Hamilton Hodgins was appoint­ ed director of Biddulph Township. Members of the advisory com­ mittee include Tom Coursey, Evan Hodgins and Ross Mc­ Roberts, division one; Earl At4- kinson, Ed Flynn, James Sigsr worth, division two; Murray Ab­ bott, Kermit Thompson, division three; Hamilton Hodgins, and Frank Dale, division four; Nor­ man Riddell, Joseph Bryan and Emerson Holden, division five. Secretary is Austin Hodgins. . Two directors from London Township are’ Alex McComb, Omar Burnett.

Secretary is Stan Wyatt. narrower profit margins By P, L. HQOPER ypur best buy today for protein is perhaps ' soybean meaL-44% protein. While soybean meal /is not as efficient as some blended, proteins. it may on comparing results and costs leave a larger margin of profit. Palatabjlity of roughages is another large item. Here again it is suggested by researchers that animals will eat more of sonie types than others and thus will make greater gains. We are all aware that it is possible to obtain large gains on pasture, our most palatable roughage. Perhaps the nearest feed to pas­ ture that a farmer can produce is grass silage and early cut hay, Neither of these is a fat­ tening feed but rather a growing ration which must be supple­ mented by grains to raise the phosphorus levels anl to provide the carbohydrates. Molasses has been used by many feeders to obtain same re­ sults’ when it could.,be ■ obtained at reasonable prices in compari­ son to other mill feeds, Turnips have been almost forgotten by sonie feeders but at this year’s prices are. worthy of considera­ tion. . Just what each individual farmer will do to sell his rough­ ages for highest, possible returns is entirely up to him. Ng two will have the same type of rough­ age nor the same type of live­ stock. Some will be dairy, some stockers and some will be mar­ keting it through sheep. Any of them can, by balancing it tb make an efficient feed, definite- With IU1. ... „ . rough feeding is, much in the limelight today. Too many of us perhaps have been ignoring the value of’ good roughages. Early editions of feed hand­ books stressed the value of suc­ culent roughages as sources of cheaper gains, While present day research has opened up new trains of thought as to the ef­ ficient balancing of these feeds, there is no disputing that an abundant supply of high quality roughage is the key to livestock profits. Present day roughage supplies represent a much' larger cash investment than they did 20 years ago, Mechanization has increas­ ed cash costs. Twenty years ago it was a case of 1'ow wakes, very low machinery investment, no fuel bills- horses instead of tractors, There were no baler twine bills. Against a horse mower, side­ rake and hayloader of the era, today the farmer has the first two plus a baler and elevator or ; harvester and blower, The sad point is he is not harvesting . enough extra tonnage to justify the extra investment and in many cases has more than dou­ bled the cost of the roughage. I In some instances, * though, many farmers have increased the quality of roughage by mech­ anization, others have lowered the quality. Hay this year in some cases will need to be balT anced by-the addition of protein and phosphorus. Feeding bone- mfeal will supply the latter and I I ly make larger gains which means a higher price per ton. DID YOU KNOW? Replacement of soap by syn- ! thetic detergents has made avaiD ’ able large quantities of inedible tallow. This product is being used successfully in cattle, sheep and poultry rations. Its value as an ingredient of calf starter rations has been demonstrated by cooperative re­ search by the Connecticut ex­ periment station • and the agri­ cultural research service of the USDA. „ A ration containing 10 percent stabilized tallow, fed at the rate of 4 pounds per’ day per calf, resulted in an increase of 5 to 6 percent in the calves’ rate’ of gain’.cost. Tallow will det ermine its future use- as a feed ingredi­ ent.
