Speeding the job
of making hay
BY HELEN ALLEN
LIKES OTHER CHILDREN
Just to see Jean-Paul makes you want to hug him because
this appealing lad brings out the cherishing instincts in people.
Jean-Paul is seven, a delicate-looking boy, small for his
age. He was born with a heart condition which may require
surgery later on. Meantime,there are no restrictions on his
activities but he tires easiy and he does not go for stren-
uous games.
French-Canadian in descent, he has big dark eyes, brown
hair and olive skin. It is hoped a French-speaking home will
be found for him, preferably with other children, because
he does enjoy company.
Despite his heart, Jean-Paul is an active boy, very sociable,
enthusiastic, talkative and excited over anything new. He is
in Grade one and votes mathematics his favorite subject.
He had made excellent progress in reading. Jean-Paul
is not expected to be academically minded, but playing school
with blackboard and chalk is his faVorite game.
Jean-Paul likes swimming and is keen on snownlobiling.
Children's television programs help him happily fill in the
times when other boys are outdoors playing football.
'Phis little fellow needs a father and Mother who will give
hitt attention, stimulation and love, and will not be demanding
in their scholastic expectationE.

It's always easy to make hay
when the snow is on the ground!
That's the time of year most
farmers think about the things
they should do in June. But when
the time comes for hay cutting,
often Mother Nature and a dozen
other things fail to cooperate.
Early harvesting is essential
for quality stored feed, but the
weather must be favorable. In
most areas of Ontario, the prob-
ability of good weather for hay
cut early is about the same as
for hay cut late. Delaying the
harvest, with the hope of strik-
ing a period of better weather,
seldom pays off. Indeed, hay
cut early and rained on will
produce more milk or beef than
hay cut late and made
ideal weather.
As for drying, studies at
Guelph have shown there is no
advantage In leaving the newly-
swathed crop on a high stubble
instead of a low stubble. The
drying time (before baling could
be done) was the same for both
high and low stubble crops. If a
mower and conditioner is used,
rake early. Raking should be
done when the crop has nicely
started to dry on top but is still
green and very tough under-
neath. Early raking allows leaves
to hang on, permits the dry mat-
erial on top to be plated into
the center of the windrow, ex-
poses the bottom, tough basal
parts to the sun and wind., and
allows hay to dry just as fast
as if the crop were exposed in
the swath.
Finally, there is little reason
to remind farmers that moving
bales is hard work. To make
matters worse, it is a job that
is not necessary. Studies have
shown that short bales about 20
inches long do not need to be
arranged. Tossed into a wagon
or mow, they take up no more
space than long bales neatly
placed in rows. For the cost of
a little extra twine, the drudgery
of moving bales can be elimin-
ated. However, extra pressure
is put on the walls at the bot-
tom of the mow so use some
old planks or rails to take care
of this. Next summer, point the
elevator to the center of the
mow, and let the bales go.
It's practices like these that
will speed up the job of making
better quality hay.
