Conditioning speeds up the drying time by one-third to onet.half the usual time required, Management is the key to good quality forages — Early cut forage at first bloom means; more dry matter produced per acre, mere digestible energy and less hay or silage to handle per pound of milk Gr meat produced — Feeding value for each acre of forages decreases by 1 to 2 percent per day for every day delay in cut- tin after early bloom — The extra value of protein and Total Digestible Nutrients in early cut hay amounts to about $20 per acre —FIVE tons per acre of forages is possible on well managed, properly fertilized fields Roughiand pasture renovation— using chemicals for weed control and seeding with birdsfoot trefoil has increased the production on these pastures five to six times New trend for Ontario Trend in forage storage in Ontario is to the silo and its many ad- vantages. The greatest single advantage is that the system can be mechanized from the field to the feeder. Haylage (a medium mois- ture feed — 40 to 60%) is gainirig in popularity. Harvest and preser- vation losses are lower than with wet silage and lowered moisture content means reduced tonnage. 5 Acres and Independence NOTICE: Our fieldman will be in your locality shortly to dis- cuss commercial red raspberry growing with farmers financially able to plant one acre or more for selling to the Toronto, Montreal and Ottawa wholesale trade.

Without today's modern Machinery, the haying operation was a major one often involving the whole family as shown here. The old horse-drawn wagon and hayloader, once a familiar sight in rural Ontario, have been replaced by tractors, balers and forage harvesters which can reduce haymaking to a one man operation. The photo- graph was taken by the late R, R. Sallows of Godextich, Ontario. —Reproduced by the Ontario Department of Agriculture and Food, TOP DOLLAR VALUE ON USED TRACTORS • FARMALL C WITH CULTIVATOR * FARMALL 200 WITH CULTIVATOR * FARMALL SUPER "C" WITH CULTIVATOR * FARMALL "M" NEW TIRES 4 FARMALL 350 DIESEL * FARMALL "806" DIESEL WITH DUAL WHEELS * INTERNATIONAL 434 GAS POWER STEERING & INTERNATIONAL "1501", LOADER WITH HYDRAULIC BUCKET JUST 4'50 HRS. * NTERNATIONAL "504" DIESEL 1,100 HOURS * NTERNATIONAL 606 GAS * NTERNATIONAL 414 DIESEL * NTERNATIONAL 250 DIESEL NTERNATIONAL "WD6" * NTERNATIONAL "W6" * NTERNATIONAL "W9" GAS * COCKSHUTT "50" DIESEL * FORD "8N" WITH FREEMAN LOADER * OLIVER 880 DIESEL * JOHN DEERE "B" * FORD MAJOR * FERGUSON 20-85 USED EQUIPMENT * INTERNATIONAL "93" SELF PROPELLED COMBINE * MASSEY "60" P.T.O.

Even if a high percentage of these seeds rot in the ground, the few that are left can charge a light wild oat infestation into a heavy one in a very short time. Although cultural wild oat con- trol, especially delayed Seeding that is practised for a number of years, can greatly reduce wild oats, this method is not always practical. The two main drawbacks are the weather, which is not always co-operative and the necessity of having to plant an early maturing crop, which usually means sac- rificing yields for earliness. Also, crops which are pianted early get a better start because they can take advantage of the spring moisture. W. Lally, had of the Weed Control Branch of the Alberta Plant Industry Division, reports that many farmers are now turn- ing to herbicides for wild oat control. There are two' types of wild oat control herbicides on t h e market. The pre-emergent type, diallate and triallate (Avadex and Avades BW), and the post- emergent type, barban (Carbyne). Morris Huff joins department. Everett. Biggs, Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Food, recently announced the appointment of Morris A. Huff as Secretary to the. Ontario Food Council and Market Development Specialist. Mr. Huff was born on a fruit and livestock farm in. Prince Edward County. He graduated from the Ontario Agricultural College with a B.S.A. (Agricul- tural Economics), in 1963. Mr. Huff has recently completed stu- dies towards a M.B.A. at York University. While at the Ontario Agricul- tural College, Mr. Huff worked in the Economics Department for two summers and as an As- sistant Agricultural Representa- tive for one summer in Huron County, Guelph grad The University of Guelph granted degrees and dipionlas to 670 stu- dents this spring, Among them was Douglas N. Stanlake,Exeter, who received an associate dip- loma in Agriculture. He is the son of Mr* and Mrs. Norm Stan- lake. Give aid to beet growers Agriculture Minister J. J. Greene has announced that the federal government will pay On- tario sugar beet growers a trans- itional adjustment grant, The grant —$60.00 per acre, based on 196'7 plantings will help farmers make the switch to another crop. The Ontario market for sugar beets disappeared earlier this year when the one sugar beet refinery in the province closed' down. Mr. Greene pointed out that an assistance program was necessary because Ontario farm- ers, through no fault of their own, were caught with consider- able investment in sugar beet production equipment and now have to change production pat- terns. And, he said, government policy, over the years, had been one of encouraging growers to stay in the sugar beet business. The Minister noted that farm- ers have production equipment on their hands that can not be used for other crops and that many had applied fertilizer last fall which now could be of little value. The federal government, the Ontario government, and pro- ducer organizations had done everything possible to persuade the processing company to keep the Chatham plant open, all to no avail, Mr. Greene said. er40 Relume Growing conditions are very good with the high temperatures of the past days. The planting of white beans is ne a r i n g completion in most areas, Corn has been growing very well due to the high temper- atures and recent rainfall. The hay and pasture crops, after slow growth earlier, have progressed favourable these past few days.
