BEEF CATTLE MARKETED from Ontario feedlots amount to
over one hundred thousand head with a value of over $2
million. The average feedlot in Ontario has approximately
150 animals with some of the larger units feeding 500 to
1000 head. The Livestock Branch of the Ontario Depart-
ment of Agriculture and Food predict that beef cattle
marketed from feedlots will substantially increase in the
future.

FARM RECORDS WITH A
MINIMUM OF BOTHER
The most successful method
with the least bother is a cur-
rent account at your local bank
and a book with columns and
appropriate headings. The cur-
rent account enables you to de-
posit all receipts in your bank
account and pay all expenses by
check. The bank provides a
statement, usually every month,
indicating what you have de-

The flavor quality of milk
shipped to Eastern Ontario man-
ufacturing plants and handled in
farm bulk-cooling tanks is gen-
erally quite acceptable. A
study which was recently con-
cluded by the Dairy Division of
the Kemptville Agricultural
School examined this aspect of
milk quality along with some
others. Approximately 1,200
milk samples were studied over
a period of nine months.
Although milk handled in
bulk tanks is always well cool-
ed, the fact that a part of each
shipment is up to 48 hours old
before it is picked up can some-
times lead to poor flavors. Fla-
vor defects such as oxidation
and rancidness are in this cate-
gory. These were not at all
common in the K, A. S. study,
only 15 of the former and 21 of
the latter being found. Feed
flavor was the criticism noted
in 154 cases, unclean in 45,
"barny" or "cowy" in 46, salty
in 15, malty in 9, while other
miscellaneous faults were not-
ed in 10 of the samples.
posited and the checks that have
been cashed and returned.
These cancelled checks act as
receipts.
The other advantage of the
current account is that you
write a description on the check
stub indicating what is being
paid and to whom. With this
information, entries in the
columnar book can be made at
your convenience.
One columnar book with
many advantages is the Ontario
Farm Record Book which is
available at your local Agri-
cultural Representative's office.
This book and a current ac-
count make a team that is hard
to beat when it comes to keep-
ing your farm records.
Other tests made on this ser-
ies of samples indicated that in
some respects this milk did not
show up as well as milk handl-
ed in cans. Over 34 percent of
the samples were placed in
Grades C or D for sediment con-
tent, the latter being reject
grade. When subjected to the
Gel test which shows evidence
of mastitis in a herd, 5.'7 per-
cent of the samples were re-
active, 55.5 percent were in
the slightly reactive class and
only 38.9 percent were normal.
Work done at other experi-
mental stations has shown that
the regular resazurin test is of
limited value in grading bulk-
cooled milk. In the K.A.S.
study the results of this test were
compared with similar tests af-
ter the milk had been given 18
hours of preliminary incubation
at 55 degrees F. Many samples
graded lower on this modified
test.
This project was under the
supervision of K. A. Burnett of
the K.A.S. Dairy Division, and
assistance was given by the
Dairy Branch staff of the Ontario
Department of Agriculture and
Food.

Companion crops compete
with new forage stands for light,
moisture, and plant nutrients.
They are used, however, since
they provide a return In the
seedling year. If not used and
spraying is not practiced, a
more harmful companion crop
of weeds take over, There is
also the advantage on rolling
land of the companion crop
helping to hold the soil while
the small grasses and legumes
are establishing.
The best grain companion
crop is oats followed in turn by
mixed grain, barley, winter
wheat, and fall rye. The lat-
ter two are tall and compete
more with most forage seed-
lings than mixed grain or bar-
ley. Most farmers know that
barley will compete better with
weeds on dirty land than oats.
It also competes more with for-
age seedlings, particularly the
grass fraction. In Guelph stud-
ies, barley has reduced brome-
grass stands about 50 percent
lower than under oats and has
also greatly reduced the vigor
of alfalfa plants in the seeding
year as well as the first hay
crop.
Oats, our best companion
crop, should be seeded light.
Well-buffed oats at 11 bushels
per acre have given the highest
yield of grain of any seeding
rate and also a very good stand
of forages. It is much superior
to the conventional 21-bushel
rate of seeding.
In areas where new forage
seedings are difficult to obtain
and the land is reasonably clean,
seeding the companion crop in
14-inch drills is recommended *
This method provides lesscorn-
petition, and stands of stronger
and more vigorous plants de-
velop under it,
Oat yields are only reduced
about 12 percent below the con-
ventional 7-inch drills, For-
ages so established give about a
half ton more hay per acre the
following year. The method is
strongly recommended where a
companion crop is thought
necessary when making bird's-
foot trefoil or new pasture seed-
ings.
Many farmers believe the
companion crop is worth more
in milk or beef if grazed off
than when left for grain. Such
grazing actually thickens the
forage stand by removing com-
petition early. If carried out
when the land is firm, grazing
oats, commencing when the
crop is knee-high, will provide
about 70 pasture days per acre.
Every farmer knows how much
milk or beef he might expect to
produce from such a crop per
animal per day. From this he
can estimate the value of the
crop to him as grain or pasture.
A ton and a half of milk or 125
pounds of beef per acre from
the companion crop are figures
farmers often quote. Grazing
the companion crop is recom-
mended when seeding pastures
or bird's-foot trefoil.

The idea of keeping farm
records isn't new, yet many
farmers seem to hesitate when
it comes to actually doing it.
Perhaps some of the following
questions and answers will help
you to review your own ideas on
the subject.
WHY KEEP FARM
RECORDS AT ALL?
Records are kept for two
main reasons: (a) to provide in-
formation required for filing in-
come tax returns, and (b) to
collect detailed and accurate
information on your own farm
business. Farm records are es-
sential for you to make the
most profitable decisions about
your farm business.
WHAT MUST YOUR
FARM RECORDS DO?
They must keep track of the
following:
(1) Changes in Inventory (i.e.
land, buildings, machinery,
livestock, etc.).
(2) Expenses (all money spent
for the farm business).
(3) Receipts (all money receiv-
ed from the farm business).
