KGINS:AT 'HOME The .Oven To You I Gibson's Bakery "ALWAYS THE BEST" HYBRID CORN ENSILAGE The Fertilizer's Administrator has approved df the following fertilizers to be manufactured and sold in Ontario for the Fall season of 1944: 2-12-6; 0-14-7; 4-12-6 and 20% Superphos- phate. Fertilizer materials in such amounts as will make up any of these mixtures may also be used. It will be noted that the 2-12-6, which during the past season was reduced to a 2-12-4, has been replaced. This is due to the improved situation with respect to pot- ash supplies. Additional potash may be procured if evidence is provided by soil test or by recommendation of a competent Government official that any specific soil of crop is in need of greater amounts of potash than is pro- vided in any of the approVed mixtures. This information should be forwarded to the office of the Regional Super- visor of Fertilizers, 86 Collier Street, Toronto 5, Ontario whereupon a per- mit May be secured for the additional potash required. Fertilizer mixtures approved for use in the Spring will be announced later in the season. national Limited had a wait of three hours and five minutes in Montreal before The Washington departed to take her to Boston, her destination.

(Experimental Farm News) Corn which is the most extensively grown ensilage crop in Canada pro- duces a highly palatable, succulent feed and surpasses all other forage crops in actual yield of total' digestible nutrients per acre, Since the introduction of hybrid corn, its use for ensilage has increas- ed each succeeding year. Better hy brids, when compared with open.,poll- inated varieties of similar maturity give an increased yield of ensilage. On the other hand, hybrids have' gained more favour with the farmer due ;to the fact that, in general, they posseds stronger root systems and sturdier stalks than open-pollinated 'varieties which enable them to resist lodging, This latter character also allows them to stand up better under attacks • of corn-borer, The ability of hybrids to resist lodging definitely makes for greater ease in cutting and handling, The uniform maturity of hybrids mak- es it possible to cut them at a time when practically all the plants are at the proper stage to ensile However, it should be remembered that not all hybrids have the characteristics men- tioned and they should be chosen on the basis of adaptability to specific localities with regard to maturity,. yield aild'strength of stalk, Of the Many differences between hybrids and open-pollinated varieties a few should be carefully noted, Be- cause of heavier stalks, hybrids should be cut into shorter lengths, approxi. mately i4 to t inches, to facilitate packing in the silo, Many also get a false impression of maturity with hybrids, At the same stage of matot-, ity, the leaves and husks of most hy, ihrids have been often ensiled when they were tot) mature which, in Setne ease% hag resulted in mouldy ensilage,
