Produce More Economical
Gains
Whether you feed a complete feed or balance
your own grain with concentrate you will find.
that a SHUR-GAIN Hog Feeding Program will
produce more economical gains in these 3 ways:
1. 'Hogs will reach market weight sooner. (2 or
3 months ahead of straight grain fed hogs)
2. Hogs will require less total feed. (650 lbs. or
less. of SHUR-GAIN Balanced Hog Feed'
compared to about 1100 lbs. of straight grain
Per hog.)
3. Hogs -will obtain better grades when market.
,.(Earn you more premiums)
Many farmers will have a good supply of their
grain this fall to feed their hogs. Just
remember this fact — grain lacks the proteins,
Vitarnins and minerals that are required for a
FULLY BALANCED hog ration. However,
these deficiencies of grain can be corrected by
!liking the recommended levels of SHUR-GAIN
fripg Concentrate,

Harvestiing AlmoSt
At Stand.Still
A crop report, issued by the as-
sistant agricultural representatiVe
for Huron County, Arthur S, Bol-
ton, this week states that very little
progress has been nude in harvest-
ing operations. ApPrOximatelY
third of the grain crop in the
county has now beep swathed or
stooked. Of this • much will be
damaged by sprouting and will be
very dark in color when threshed,
A small acreage of second out
hay has beep cut but unless there
is dry weather It will be impossible
to harvest second cut bay of good
quality, the report states. A number
of farmers in the county have pre-
pared land for fall wheat and rye
while waiting for the other grain
to 'dry.

RAGWEED POLLEN
HAY FEVER BAIN
Of the thousands of people who
seek medical attention for hay
fever, eighty per cent are aller-
gic to ragweed pollen., There are
many more who struggle along
without medical help and the
Majority of these toe, can blame
ragweed pollen for their mid-•
suintner misery.
The field crops branch of the
Ontario Department of Agrictil••
lure advises that the period of
greatest suffering mimes between.
Mid-August and late September
and will 'continuo in Some degree
until the first killing frost. Hay
fever victims should try to plan
their vacations during this period
and get away to a pollen free area,
Many areas in Muskoka and Par-
ry Sound are satistactorV, particul.
arty if well removed from mein
roads, railroads, farming areas
and heavily populated centres
The ideal spot is one with water
in front and a shelter belt of for-
est at the back. Almost all resort
areas north Of North Bay are Safe
havens for hay fever sufferera and
Northern outlice and the. Marl.
time Provinces are also reasonably
free from ragweed. •
