ing the questionnaires. A wide-
spread response from all types
of farmers throughobt the prov-
ince is needed in order that the
statistics can be based on a suf-
ficiently large number of re-
ports from a representative
sample ef farms throughout On-
tario.
The statistics obtained from
the survey are used extensively
throughout the year by govern-
ments, farm organizations and
farm co-operatives, banks, in-
dustry, various farm commodity
marketing boards, and by farm-
ers themselves to obtain basic
information and facts in order
to more efficiently plan future
operations. The farmer, through
providing the information asked
for on the schedule, has a real
opportunity to help form a true
picture, of agricultural condi-
tions.
The survey has absolutely no
connection with taxation. The
farmer's individual form is seen
only by workers in the Dominion
and Provincial agricultural sta-
tistic ,s offices, and the farniertis
protected by law against the,
wrong use of his return. All in-
dividual forms, are. kept. strictly
confidential and are used only
for the preparation of county
and provincial totals.

in 'the largest amount of TDN

Now this will start an argu-
ment. To the dyed-in-the-wool
type who is satisfied he has the
only hybrid, we say "okay, you
may be correct!" What do we
mean by TDN?. Many things but
chiefly it means bushels of ma-
ture, dry, shelled-cgn.
It is very well to say "my
corn ran so and so bushels" per
acre, Was it cob or shelled corn?
What was its moisture content?
If it was cribbed -did it keep
O.K.-could you grind more
than two days feed without it
heating? Did you have to mix
dry grains with your corn to
make a good feed?
One hears so much about the
extraordinary large yields, of
cob corn that we are reminded
of the story of the chap who
bought a European make of car.
Not getting an astounding gas
mileage he took it back to the
dealer, who checked it, found
everything in perfect condition.
Still the customer argued. The
mechanic exasperated, said,
"Why don't you do what the rest
do." Customer: "What's that?"
Mechanic: "Lie about it.'
Seriously, there may be some
of this but many farmers do get
We are well aware that the
longer maturity hybrids give the
larger yields per acre but it is
more than possible that many
of the shorter maturity hybrids
give more TDN per acre, year
in and year out,
In fact with the•advent of for-
age harvesters it is quite pos-
sible that we can alSo give short-
er maturity varieties more rec-
ognition in silage. Mechaniza-
tion has brought farming ,to. the
point that decent weather 11s a
must. The 115 -day corn, in order
to reach the correct condition
for silage, runs into two con-
ditions that have prejudiced our
opinion --frost and wet weather.
Frost can 'be overcome by plant-
ing rape, kale and soybeans with
corn but wet weather is just one
big expensive headache.
No, we don't say throw away
the corn seed you have already
bought but the weather has de-
layed planting in most areas
and our money is riding on the
shorter maturity dates this year.
Quite a number will have
planted some corn when this is

centage of the 'corn is still in
the bag.

the other way - we wish you
luck, but we have better odds,

Holstein Breeders
Visit Niagara Falls
Annual bus trip of Huron Coun-
ty Holstein Breeders and their
wives will take them to Niagara
Falls on Thursday, May 30.
Besides seeing the falls, the
dairymen will visit the Vineland
Experimental Station, the locks
at Welland, the paper mill at
Thorold and a prominent dairy
farm near St. Catharines.

The Ontario Beef Producers'
Association Monday embarked on
a scheme by which it hopes' to
raise $100,000 to promote bee(
sales.
At its annual meeting the assn.
elation revised its constitution
and made plans to request that it
be taken in under Section 9 of
the Farm Products Marketing
Act.
This would allow the associa-
tion to make a levy on every
animal sold and use the money
for advertising, education, re-
search and other promotion.
Before the Farm Products
Marketing Board will accept the
request, it must be convinced
that 60 per cent of beef producers
favor the assessment. For this
purpose, about 15 meetings will
be held during the next year at
which beef producers will express
opinions. .The marketing bnori
will arrange the meetings and a
member of the board win preside
at each.
The suggested toll is 10 cents
on full grown cattle and five
cents on calves under 2,100
Pounds.
The 10 cent deduction will be
collected bp operators of abat-
toirs.
A provisional board of 11 mem-
bers including ane from each
marketing district was elected
yesterday to handle preliminary
organization of the scheme.
Fieldman Hemingway said one
of the producers' meetings will
be held in Huron county. '
Three delegates attended the
meeting from Huron County.
They t were Carl Hemingway.

Gregor, president of the Huron
County producers, and Jack
Armstrong, Londesboro.
Huron is the top county for
production of cattle in the prov-
ince. The 1956 census revealed
Huron farmers were feeding
165,622 cattle in June last year.
This was 130 more than Grey
