Rebuilt your herd using sires that increase pro- duction and raise the sale value of breeding stock. You can use well proven dairy sires such as Maple Lea Skokie (Holstein). His daughters average 6% more milk than their herdmates. One was sold at auction recently for $3,750. Tested beef sires are available, like Elmlea KD Spidel 38T (Hereford). Seven of his ten tested steer sons had gains on feed of over 100 pounds in one month.

This fact presents a new case for properly feeding the milking herd and replacement heifers. Whole milk substitutes such as SHUR-GAIN Milk Replacer and SHUR-GAIN Vealer now afford greater savings in calf feeding when you sell your whole milk. Dry cows and heifers, when fed a balanced SHUR-GAIN Ration for increased production in the following lactation will now pay greater dividends. The milking herd will return the most direct increased income from balanced feeding under the new policy, Whatever your pasture or farm-grown feed situation is, there is a SHUR-GAIN Concentrate to boost milk production for optimum dollar returns under the New Policy.

"Supplementary pasture is one answer to lack of moisture and the effects of summer grazing that ruin pasture pro- duction in fall," advises Mr. C. H. Kingsbury, Ontario De- partment of Agriculture and Food, Guelph. "If a farmer foresees a pas- ture shortage, even the last week in August isn't too late to sow that extra insurance crop, and many alternatives can be used. For instance, up until early July, Sudangrass at 25 pounds per acre, sown with a grain drill and adequately fer- tilized, creates pasture in a hurry. This crop can first be grazed after it reaches 11 feet in height and, as it regains this height, cattle can be turn- ed on the pasture again. Su- dangrass itself is probably pre- ferable to Sudan sorghum hy- brids from the point of view of pasture. "In early July, fodder rape at 11 pounds per acre in 21- to 28-inch drills can be sown, too. This is one crop that can be fertilized well with 10 to Crop Report BY D. S, PULLEN, ASSOC, Ag, Rep, for Huron Winter barley is beginning to ripen. Spring barley and some oats are in head.

Report from Queen's Park six or seven weeks later, pas- ture a thirty-head herd for ap- proximately three weeks. In palatability, availability of seed, and ease of seeding, this supplementary crop is outstand- ing. As a last resort, fall rye can be sown later in the month and, like oats, should be sown at 2z bushels per acre, While rye provides almost as much feed as oats, it's not quite so palatable, However, rye has one advantage; after the first frost, there's still some pas- ture. The equivalent of 300 pounds per acre of 10-10-10 fertilizer should be used for all these supplementary fall pas' ture crops." THAT'S A SAUSAGE? The longest sausage ever recorded was made in Germany in 1701. It measured 2,000 feet in length and weighed more that 840 lbs. The occasion was the coronation of King Freder- ick III and it took 103 local butchers to carry it through the streets of Konisberg. a 4 BY MURRAY GAUNT, M.P.P. Huron-Bruce Recent weeks have seen un- rest and dissatisfaction building up among farmers in the pro- vince at an accelerated pace. This has resulted in many trac- tor demonstrations on the high- ways to draw attention to the serious problems with which the farmers are faced. The dem- onstrations have been spotty but it is certain that the numbers will become larger and better organized across the province. Officials of the Ontario Far- mers Union left Queen's Park in Toronto empty-handed on Tuesday. They claimed they received no satisfaction from Jr. Farmer Travelling Scholarships Agriculture and Food Minister William Stewart, during a 3- hour meeting at which they pressed their case for the gov- ernment to raise and stabilize farm incomes. After the meeting, William Langdon of Lakeside, a direc- tor of the Ontario Farmers Un- ion, said that in the past the Farm Union and farmers in gen- eral have tried to avoid caus- ing havoc and inconvenience, but this has failed. It meant that there was no other alterna- MORRISON TRANSPORT LOCAL and LONG DISTANCE HAULING LIVESTOCK, FEED, FERTILIZER, ETC.

Rape is good fall grazing for a beef herd provided that supple- mentary hay is always avail- able to reduce the bloat prob- lems. "If a supplementary crop hasn't already been sown by August, then oats seeded on stubble land at this time will, tive but to resort to tractor demonstrations, he added. Ontario probably will need to recruit 15,000 farm workers for the 1966 crop year, accord- ing to the Department of Agri- culture. Recruitment is in the hands of the National Employ- ment Service and so far grower applications for workers are be- ing met, The majority of ex- tra farm help will be recruited in Ontario although N.E.S. also is recruiting in Quebec and • the Maritimes. rr
