Ayton_near Hanover for Grades -aid-'87-The excursion will last three days and two nights THE LUCKNOW SENTINEL, LUCKNOW, ONTARIO BY MRS, JOE COURTNEY (Monday, March 13 to Wednes- day, . March 15), The idea was received enthusiastically by the parents and several volunteered to act as live-in.chaperones.

The trip itself has been made possible by co-operation between the two area separate school' boards for Huron -Perth and Bruce -Grey. „ None of the,four senior volleyball teams wn in the action Alfalfa - big money crop. Accept that alfalfa is a big money crop and you will begin to treat it like one, says Dr. R. J. McLaughlin of the Ontario Agri- cultural College, University of Guelph. Too many farmers take their hay crop for granted. A stand of alfalfa, for example, can, make money. If you plow it down every three or four years, it will make much more money. Dr. McLaughlin estimates that mismanagement reduces the total yield .-potential of all the forage acreage in Ontario by at least half. Part of the reason may, be- that the hay crop has been around for a long time. Corn and soybean crops, on the other hand, get maximum attention because the farmer has learned their manage- ment and production techniques comparatively recently. But alfalfa is equally deserving of proper attention. - "In yield, protein, net energy, acceptance by •livestock, and.. return 'on 'investment, alfalfa is, superior to any other perennial forage. Corn silage and alfalfa complement each other to provide an excellent protein -energy bal- ance." Direct -seeding alfalfa has been recommended for at least 10 years, yet few farmers follow this advice. They say they need companion crops for straw. Dr. McLaughlin advises farmers Oto buy the grain and straw and saye' money. Companion , crops are heavy competitors for • light, moisture, and nutrients, weaken- ing the alfalfa stand before it is established. For better, heavier crops; seed should be drilled rather than broadcast. Harvesting should be at late bud or early bloom. Fall fertilizing is important. "No matter how healthyit may look,alfalfa needs phosphorous to stimulate root growth and potas- sium to act as an anti -freeze. But it must be applied- "before- the 'critical fall harvest period. Late fertilizer applications are just money wasted." last week in Stratford and Goderich but all the students that wanted to snake the Senior teams. were able to.
