Ensure maximum yields from lorage by fertilizing Establishment fertilization Obtaining a good stand is the first step toward higher yields A complete fertilizer that is high in phosphorus (40 kg P70, per hectare) should be banded at seeding time A little potash is required also Remember a tall application of 1(20 is necessary High return on your fertilizer Investment Feril¢mg lorage pays for itself many times over in increased forage yield and quality, improved drought resistance, healthier plants, improved winter survival.

In May of this year, the board re- ceived 37 new applications, of which 17 were applications under Section 16 for financial difficulty and 20 because of insolvency. Unfortunately, board officials say, the active case load is heavy in Ontario, and 418 applications are still in the proc- ess. To date, the board has received 1,400 applications, of which 46 per cent are under Section 20 of the act of insol- vency. An increasing number of farmers, the board reports, are seeking voluntary help under Section 16 of the act. Board officials advise applicants to have a reasonable idea of where they wish to go with their farming operation and to have some plans or options and a cash-flow statement. If a farmer can show a positive cash flow and a level of equity under reason- able circumstances, the boards reports, the debt can usually be re-structured.0 ��oc \ sepc13 Ontario Broiler Halt king E s J 1
