Boyle The most disarming thing for a farmer is a warm Sunday in March. You simply can't believe that bad wea- ether could be .hovering somewhere in the 'background. You sleep in, a litrel later 'than usual, when your bare feet strike the floor and miss' the mat, there's a tingle up and down your spine. Just the same you have a-Ieel-,, ing that it will be a fine day. The woodpecker has been. busy grubbing away at the telephone poley since after daylight and the cows have been bawl- ing. Even the job of lighting the fire in the kitchen stove doesn't seem to be so bad. For once, the kindling is handy and the stove, a perverse thing at best, gives a heart "whoosh" and the fire goes without coaxing..Sucllansuch, the collie pup, comes bounding around the corner of the house when you start for the stabfe.

"FEED YOUR GRAIN AND BUY YOUR SEED" "Feed your grain and buy your seed", is a slogan which farmers could well make use of this year, says Alex /127cKinney, successful Peel County farmer. Mr. McKinney made the sug- gestion in speaking of a program now under way in the province to boost production of home-grown grain, pro- teins and minerals as minimuni re- quirements for Ontario's livestock. 'Department of Agriculture 'officials are' asking for 200,000,000 bushels of feed grain as a minimum reqUirement for 1949, • Elaborating further on his slogan, Mr. -McKinney ,says that thei-e are very few good fanning mills on faims and poor sieves for cleaning grain, Then it has been actually shown by survey that twothirds of all grain sown in Ontario is below the grade of Com- mercial. Number One. A livestock farmer himself, Mr. McKinney says that it pays him to grow all the feed he can, particularly with mill feeds at present prices. He advises farmers to buy graded seed because "it is all ready for the seed drill," and is of known variety and origin. Above all, he says it is good advice not to purchase western grain because while often available. at local feed dealers for seed, no, matter how good it looks, its results are usually disap- pointing. This is because • of unsuit- ability of varieties, mixtures and sus- ceptibility!to rust and smu.,. on Friday night, During the summer months the society will bold a meeting once a month, A. D.
