JUNE IS
STRAWBERRY
TIME
From the middle of June to early in July, you'll
probably be very tempted not to resist those little
square boxes mounded with plump, well -shaped, deep
solid red Ontario Strawberries. Good! Don't resist.
One cup of fresh Ontario strawberries yields only 55
calories and as well, they are an excellent source of
Vitamin a n C, so top your morning .cereal with some, just
to be sure you get, the "� ' tirst.thing,inihe,.morning-,.
Use"them"fresh, or stretch the season by turning some
to jam, and maybe freeze part of the crop for later
use.
Whatever you do with the berries, keep them dry
until you use them. "Wet" strawberries will become
victims of mold and spoil very quickly. Berries left in
boxes for more than a day will bruise, soften and spoil.
Therefore, sort the berries, spread them on shallow
trays and placethem in the refrigerator. When you
wish to use some, it is important to rinse them first in"
cold water, then hull. If you hull before washing, the
water will swell the berry and thus will result in a loss
of flavor. For the ultimate in flavor, return berries to
room temperature a half hour or so before eating
Ahem. . Approximate storage life for berries is three
days. - F
If, like everyone else today; economy is a con-
sideration in your family, many excellent "Pick -Your-
. -. • Own" farms pare,available in the Huron County area.
;Take advantage of this opportunity to provide not only
a nutritious --part of the diet, but perhaps a family
outing as well. For a list of these farms in your area or
for further information on freezing and making jam,
please contact the Agricultural Office in Clinton at 482-

HAYLAGE AND
DRY HAY,
BY DENNISMARTIN,
ASSOC. AG. REP.
In making feed from any hay crop, it is up to you to
decide whether you wish high yields or high quality. If
you wish a silage for dry dairy cows or beef cows
especially, high yielding, lower quality fog age is
preferable. However, if you need a good source of
energy and protein in your ration, then the production
of a high quality forage is desirable. Stage of maturity
at the time of harvest is the most important single
factor influencing the feeding value of hay crop silage.
Cows consume much larger quantities ofearly cut
compared to late cut forages, thus resulting in greater
production at a lesser cost per litre of milk.
For analysis purposes, a handful of hay crop silage
should be taken from several different loads as the silo
is being filled and frozen until sent for analysis. When
testing baled hay, kick off one bale from each load and
leave on the barn floor for testing. Kits are available
from any Agriculture and Food office for analysis
testing at the University of Guelph. Types of analysis
available and cost per sample in -each case: (1) Dry
Matter and Total Crude _Protan - $7; (2) Dry Matter,
Total Crude Protein, P,%us . Calcium, Phosphorus,
Magnesium and Potassium - $13; (3) Dry Matter,
Total Crtlde Protein, Calcium, Phosphorus,
Magnesium, PotassiuTlcl,, Manganese, Copper and Zinc
=.$16; D.P. Digestible Protein, Forages only (in ad-
dition to a Type 1, 2, or 3 analysis) - $8.
