Mr. R,us Johnston, Soil's, Divis4 ion, Ridgetown College of Agri- cultural Technology, told delegates to the 1971 South-western Ontario Farmers' Week that even the best management would get poor for- age yields if fertilizers were not applied. "On. Class 1 'and. Class 2 land", said Mr. Johnston, "forages (:;171 only produce about SO% of the TDN per acre that corn can pro- duce. However, on the other laud,: forages 01111 out-produce corn". Under similar fertility 1' 111- ditions top Malia yields were between 11,000 and 12.500 pounds per acre of dry matter at Ridge.,• town, while corn yields were be, twRen 12.000 and 14.000 pounds of dry matter, he said. The main consideration in for- age production a're proper soil pH, nitrogen (where the stand is mainly grass), phosphorus and potassium. Soil pH should be be- tween 6.0 and S.O to obtain good establishment. Forages should be band-seeded lit planting. Nitrogen and phos- phorus are most iMpOrtant at this tirite. If soils are testing medium or slightly lower, 150 pounds per acre ) of 1S-40-0 or 13-52:-0 is sufficient, said Mr. Johnston. Ii potassium, count. is down use 8-2240 or 6-24-24. Where the soil test is high. there is no need to exceed 100 ppa of amonia phos- phate. The total .requirem.ent of phosphorus for a three- to four- year period can be broadcast and worked in before pia atlng , Some phosphorus should be retained for planting. Unless the phosphorus test, is medinm or below. no further in- creases from broadcast phos- phorus should be expected. Legume forages are heavy potassium feeders, and applied phosphorus gets good results. • One aplication a year is sufficient. Further yield increases should not be expected when soil tests read high or phis higt, A small early September application may in- crease winterhardineSs and lon- gevity of the stand. Nitrogen is only required by pure grass stands, or where a, legume makes up loss than one third of the stands, For pure grass standS. at least, 120 poundsy of nitrogen Should be used per acre and should be applied at least NUTRITIONAL VALUES NEED MORE ATTENTION Tilsto and visual appeal in :new or synthetic food products are considered important by mann- facturers, but often insufficient attention is paid to the nutritional value of thqiio toOdtittlff0, ti tfittigOI: a 0; MIL r0.5011: htefit oI Mitttarvii: tithieoliV Guelph, told. delegates to the re- cent changing Concepts in Agri- culture and and Food Conference. at the University, that the nutrit- ional value Of copvenion(..e foods must be improved and that there must be more c'oncert's for food safety. ProfeSsor Hilt suggested four guidelines for .epod safety and. DU trient quality: 1. The raitrient value of the product should be con:Par- able to that oil the food it replaces or supplements, 2, The nutrient content should be related to the place of the product in the diet. 11. 'Nutrient replacement shoulft be comparable to calorie content. 1, Any nutrient deficiencies in the diet should be elimin- ated.

Ira- creased . emphasis is placed on convenience foods requiring mini- Mum preparation, yet 'haring tempting eye and taste appeal. One new food is filled. and. synthetic. milk. Filled milk is milk with the butterfat removed and „replaced by non-fat such as coconut oil. This eliminates poly- saturated fat. that. is often linked With circulatory problems. Syn- thetic' milk is a complete non- dairy substitute manufactured from : soybean oil and similar basis, While synthetic milk is not yet. . available in Canada, Professor Hill says it .has Pos- sibilities as a nutrient filler in products like bread that are made with milk.
