Evaluating
alfalfa
For the past15 years there has
been a committee in Ontario
Field Crops Committee, it ap-
proves those varieties ound to
be both high in yield and well-
adapted to Ontario conditions, en-
suring that the Ontario farmer
has access to the best varieties,
of farm crops available anywhere
in the world.
Here is how one special crop,
alfalfa, gets on the recommended
list:
When an alfalfa breeder pro-
duces a new variety which he
(or others) thinks might be suit-
able for Ontario farms, he writes
to the alfalfa coordinator for the
province, requesting that his new
variety be tested in Ontario. If
the variety has certain charac-
teristics, it is accepted for
testing and sufficient seed for
that purpose is sent to the co-
ordinator. The latter sends to
each of the seven research
stations involved in the program
about 3 or 4 ounces of seed.
Usually 10 to 15 varieties are
sent out each year. The same
varieties are also sown in the
succeeding year.
At the local station, each
variety is sown in six plots mea-
suring 20 feet by 5 feet without
a cover crop, and at the rate
of 12 pounds per acre. Thus
a 10;-variety test would contain,
60 plots. In the following year
harvesting commences. Three
crops per year are taken in
southern Ontario, two in northern
Ontario.
At harvest time a swath is
cut lengthwise through each plot.
The weight of the fresh green
forage is obtained and a small
sample is weighed, dried, and
reweighed. The size of the har-
vested area of each plot is also
measured accurately. These
harvest data are recorded on spe-
vial forins and, from each of
the seven stations, are sent to
the University of Guelph for sta-
tistical analysis. The computers
analyze the data and provide the 0
average yield, over the province, 0
of each variety: The varieties
are also evaluated for WiltreSia-
Wide and hardineSS at Special
locati ons.
When the tests are all fn, they
are summarized by the dikerdi,
nator and the restats presented
to the members of the forage

Certainly we like to play ball with the hundreds of Brussels peoPle who depend on us
to provide them with 24 hour a day, seven day a week hydro service. It's our job to
make sure that everything is in good shape and up to date - to make sure that we are
ready to meet every demand you may make on us.
Like everything else this equipment and material as well as the labour that makes
use of it costs more money. On top of all this is the steady increase in the cost of
the power we purchase from the Ontario Hydro Electric Power Commission.
For instance just recently the Ontario Hydro Electric Power Commission has made
a further increase in our power costs. Since the present rates were established, we have
been faced with two'increases of approximately '7% each in the cost of the power we buy
from the 11.E.P.C. this year. '
As a result there is no alternativeto an increase in the rates which apply to our
customers. While rates will continue to be low in relation to many other products and
services, on and after 'August 1st, 1973 billings will show a modest increase of
approximately 7%.
