Similar results Were found In, pure alfalfa stands, Direct seeding, in the spring, of alfalfa or alfalfa mixtures at Guelph have produced two harvests in the seedling year. Cuttings, however, must be made at the first sign of bloom for good, high quality hay. Total yields of alfalfa during the seed- ling year were about three tons. Trefoil yields were slightly lower. Management is the key to vig- orous growth and high yields in a direct-seeded forage program. High fertility, weed control, and time of cutting are the most important. Companion crops must be seeded at lower rates than usual. Oats should be seeded at no more than 1 1/2 bushels per acre in order to avoid excess compet- ition for •the forage crop. The yield of the oats will consequently be lower. Soil scientists point out that unless phosphorus and potassium levels are high enough in the for- age fields, yields will be reduced. The phosphorus, if needed, should be applied in the spring. In- creases in yield as great as one extra year's production over a four year period can be obtained if phosphorus is at sufficient levels. Soil tests are the best way to determine the need. Weed control in pure legume Folk school June 20-23 This year's Regional Folk School will be held at Lime Kiln Lodge, Inverhuron from June 20 to 23. Here on the beautiful shores of Lake Huron, a group of people from all walks of life will be discussing the theme, "Is Devel- opment the New Name for Peace". The purpose is to explore po-, tentials for building a more peaceful, world,, with.discussion on deVeloping trust" between people and nations, taking a look at our attitudes and notions of people different than ourselves; how the gap between developing and the underdeveloped countries can be narrowed and will it be an economic challenge to Can- adians? Co-ordinator will be Victor Morrow, special advisor for pro- jects from Rural Learning As- sociation. Resource leader will be Murray Thomson, peace edu- cation secretary for Canadian Friends Service Committee, Toronto. If you are between the age of eighteen and eighty and live in the County of Huron, Perth, Wat- erloo, Wellington, Grey or Bruce you are invited to attend this school. Brochures will be avail- able from the Secretary of your County Federation of Agriculture or write to Regional Folk School secretary, Mrs. Ronald Slade, RR 5 Kincardine.

Seek corridors for all services The Federation delegation, led by Keith Matthie of Algonquin, called for strips of land connect- ing the province's major econ- omic centre, for railways, power lines, pipelines, and cables. This would cut down on the waste of farm land. At present, each agency build- ing a line expropriates its own swath of land across the province. Mr. Matthie says many city streets are examples of using one route for a number of com- munications services. One road- way may be used for cars and trucks, public transit, hydro and telephone wires, and gas, water and sewer pipes. The same kind of planning is needed in the country. He said establishment of cor- ridors is a quarter-century over- due, but they are still needed for the communications lines that will be built in the next 25 years. Corridors have been suggested in the past by the Federation. Most recently, they were recom- mended in a resolution at the last annual convention and in the OFA brief to the provincial cab- inet. ego R.v Approximately 90% of the spring grain crop in Huron has been planted. The cold wet weath- er of the last few days, has put a stop to the completion of this seeding. Some corn has been planted in certain areas but the majority of farmers are com- pleting the preparation of the land before seeding. The winter wheat in most areas looks excellent and has been ideal for the application of nitro- gen for early, fast growth. In the southern part of the county, land is being worked in preparation for the white bean crop which will be ready for planting later in May. Soybean land in some areas is also being prepared in readi- ness for planting. Instead of buying costly ap- pliques to sew on children's clothes, buy a quarter-yard of nursery material. This will give you 10 to 20 motifs to cut out and use for the price you might otherwise pay for just one finish- ed applique. their opportunity the extent of their festival.
