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 viSion of the Ontario Field Crops RedOthinendatieti Corti niittee ; which usually meets n NoVein. ber.

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%.
