Results indicate that there is a wide difference in the gaining ability of beef cattle,. even among animals sired by the same bull, It was after analysing the results the Advanced Registry Board decided to make the change in policy. .

Puropo, but the perennial or creep- ing sow thistle ISonchus .a.rvemils 14 is the most dangerous). Says the Field ,Crops Branch of the -Ontarie Department of Agriculture. Usually found in moist, fertile, cultivated. land. It spreads rapidly by creeping • rept stat4s or by wind-borne seek, Qlo.Y land -that. has poor to fair • drainage seems: to harbour this. plant more readily, Perennial sow thistle is a vigor- ous,. • deep rooted. weed containing . a milky juice .and producing orange-yellow flowers about one-:. lueh in width across the top. The flowers; found on stems with few leaves, have numerous bracts which have glandular, sticky hairs, The leaves are short at the top of the plant but longer at the base with long, fairly pointed tips, Good after-harvest cultivation. with t- 0, cultivator or spring -tooth harrow is the best approach to eradication. The underground root stalks must be lifted out of the soil and allowed to dry. The use of a disc harrow is 'dangerous as it cuts the roots up and each small piece will spread and re-infest a field. This plant is very competitive and when found in grain fields will choke out the cereals and reduce the yield, The use of 2,4-D is recommended at, rates of from G to 8 ounces per acre. It 'will curtail only and sev- eral such applications may be necessary, together with further Cultural practices. One application will at least keep seed from form- ing and prevent the spread of mature seed to other places. Parts or all of grain fields that are badly infested With perennial sow thistle should be cut and destroyed before seed sets, to be 'followed at once with a good cultivation to destroy the roots. cision was reached by the belief that rate and economy of gain are highly heritable characteristics. It was felt that the main objective of a testing program should be to identify the young bulls that have demonstrated their ability to gain rapidly and economically because these characteristics can only be transmitted if they have been in- herited. Under the new policy tests will be restricted to young hulls. For the time being breeders will not be required to test a specified number of animals. One or a dozen may be nominated. However the number on test will be lirtilted according to accommodation at the station. Provision has also been made for home testing and such tests will he authorized in the event that the station is filled mid provided that the breeder owns or has access to a suitable set of scalea. The official test will commence when a bull is 8 months old and will cover a period of 168 days. Breeders will be charged 75 per cent of the cost of feed consumed by their bulls while on the station; the Board will assume the balarIce of the feed cost and all costs con- nected with the operation of the station, W. P. Watson, Ontario Live Stenk-,Commissioner and secretary :b.Dthe Board, said today that a new feature under the plan would be the classification of bulls from the standpoint of conformation. "Although there does not appear to be a close correlation between type and performance, there is ample evidence to support the con- tention that Many bulls of good type possess the ability to make rapid and economical gains," said Mr. Watson. Mr. Watson said that at the end of the test period bulls would be Placed in one of the following grades: choice, very good,. com- mercial, plain, or ejected, Bulls that are graded "rejected" and bulls that fail to gain at the rate of 2 pounds.per day must be sold for slaughter. All other bulls will be returned to their owners. At present about 75 per cent of the station' accommodation is oc- cupied by Members of groups being tested• tinder the progeny test pol- icy. The majority of these calves will be marketed within the next two months. As the pens occupied by them are vacated space will be- come available for testing youn..-,! bulls. Hence breeders Who have bulls that are now 4-5 months of age, and who are interested in hav- ing them under this new pol- icy should get in touch with W. P.
