In the Spring and early.Summer, pasture will provide the major" part of the forage diet. Grasses and legumes are high in protein, and can support ' relatively high levels of milk production without additional protein supplementation. The limiting factor for high milk production during this period is more likely to be lack of sufficient energy. Under these conditions,CO-0P' Dari -Flo 14% Dairy Ration is the feed, recommended to provide the additional energy necessary to maintain body weight and condition on high producers. CO-OP Dari -Flo 14% Dairy Ration is a high energy, low protein diet specifically formulated to provide least cost milk production when fed on pasture. CO-OP Dari-FIo 14% Dairy Ration can be purchased in pellets or mash, in bulk or bag, from your Co- operative. Keep in mind too, that if you still have grain, you can formulate your own balanced ration with COOP Dari-FIo 36% Dairy Supplement. The grains used should preferably be a combination of high energy grain (corn, wheat, barley with oats) in relation to the cost per pound of TDN and to our recommended use of these grains in the diet. ConSblt your Co-operative feed specialist for further information on the best utilization of your home grown grains. • •RogIstered Trade Mark OTHER APPLICATIONS FOR CO-OP DART -F60 14°k DAIRY RATION ARE: 1 High grain -mix feeding 3 with tegum* forage. 2 High grain -mix feuding with legume forage and 4 corn silage.

Those selling, out at high speculative prices should lose the right to be classified as bona fide farmers. Our government should adopt the recommendations of the advisorynco. mMany mittee onspeculators Sarin would. then ,not be "classified as farmers." Elbert van Donkersgoed, secretary -manager of the Drayton -based organization, was concerned the Land Speculation Tax Act could have been the first step toward a government-spon- sored insurance policy for specu- lators. "If we, as farmers, had, been given the "right" to speculate. under this legislation, it must follow that we also have a right to compensation when zoning curtails that so-called right. "The C.F.F. is seeking a provincialland use policy that will keep prime land in agricult- ural production. Its members are prepared to accept such zoning restrictions without seeking any compensation for less of development rights:" On 'the subject of having the speculation tax deductible before capital gains tax, Mr. van Don- kersgoe l said, "This, would de- feat the purpose of the legislation. Should this happen, the Christian Farmers Federation is prepared to recommend that the tax be raised to 100 per cent of speculative profits." Karen Sutcliffe' graduates friday DOUGLAS J.

KEEP IT CLEAN Your car may have as many as ten different kinds of filters. each performing a vital function. One removes dust from the air that goes into the engine; another, takes dirt out of the gasoline, both working to prevent engine wear and carburetor trouble. Then there's the one that removes con- taminants from the engine oil and even another filter on the auto- matic transmission. These and other car filters, when clogged, can cause needless expense and poor car operation. The Car Care Council advises r gular servicing and replacement of the filters at recommended intervals.
