Good early cut alfalfa hay or silage can have as much as 18-20°% protein content. That•s over 2 tonnes of protein for each hectare or, in dollars and good 'sense. '3 the cost of purchased protein. And forage provides a balanced "protein for ruminant animals while supplying energy and part of the minerals and vitamins required for top milk and economical meat production. Improved soil structure reduces soil compaction Monoculture cropping practices can cause compaction and a breakdown in soil structure. By introducing forages into your crop rotation you should find that even after one sea- son of foreq es your succeeding crops will produce a higher yield and yTiur land will be easier to work due to an increase in organic matter in your sod Round'n Did any of you lose a grey kitten - a long skinny, pearly grey under and darker grey on top`? When I arrived home' thjs Spring, I faced many sur- prises. For one, there were still marry things to be done to the house - not a real sur- prise when you considered the winter you had and the many things that can go wrong on such a project. I knew that the whole back part of the house was to be renovated - in fact, we were not 'out of the door when the bout wreciung job was started. The chimney, Which back- ed against the kitchen wall and might have had a fireplace IF the support had been under it and IF the liv- ing room had been bigger - and a few other IFS...was to be torn out - I KNEW that - but when I entered that little house the end of May and looked at the 4 x 8's that covered the floor from .the kitchen door right straight through to the far livingroom wall I thought "Migosh! I've overdone it THIS time! That far wall`looked about 50 feet away and there was only a three foot extension added. Nell,_ the couch was against the outside wall so I collapsed on. it and started looking around. I was thankful I , had convinced Walt he should stay with his brothers in Windsor for a week until I could get things dhpacked and organized. A week! I'm a dreamer - it's over two months and I'm still not unpacked or organiz- ed. In fact, I'm not the kind of person who is EVER organized! But I do put forth the effort. My week alone did help the situation and by shifting the few pieces of furniture on hand, I created a divider between the two. rooms and from there on your imagina- tion took over and I felt bet- ter. Last fall my big old cat ag- ed 16 years or more - had to be put to sleep. He was a most unusual fellow - understanding, affectionate Ashfield. Township Federation. of Agriculture in clanger of folding Only eight members of a membership of 1,80 turned out to the Ashfield Federation of Agriculture's annual meeting July 23. President Clete Dalton and vice-president Grant Curran voiced concern that the township federation is in danger of folding if members do not show some renewed interest. For the second year in a row the meeting was unable to hold an election of officers, because of a lachof interest in the positions. Last year approximately 30 members attended the annual meeting held at Brookside Public School, but interest has steadily declined since two years ago when a capacity crowd attended the annual meeting held at St. Joseph's School, Kingsbridge to discuss absentee foreign ownership of farmland in the township. Murray Cardiff, MP, Huron -Bruce and Murray Elston, MPP Huron -Bruce attended this year's meeting also held at St. Joseph's School, Kingsbridge. Guest speaker was Huron agricultural representative for the Ministry of Agriculture. and Food, Don Pullen who spoke about his trip to Paris, France to attend the Organization for Economic Co- operation and Development Conference. . Cardiff told the meeting that he would look into the possibility that farmers will no longer be able to assume existing Farm ' Credit Corporation mor- tgages. Federation president Clete Dalton said he had been told the corporation was considering this measure and commented if farmers cannot assume existine farm credit mortgages, it limits even further their access to money to purchase land. Elston observed that organizations such as the township federation of agriculture are important because pressure on a majority government will only be effective if local organizations remain active. He said he regrets that some groups have decided to withdraw from the summer meetings with Ontario ' Hydro because he feels the organizations they repre- sent would be better served if they participate now. Elston was referring to the Central Working Group's decision to withdraw from Hydro's summer meetings to discuss Hydro's recommendations for proposed plans to select a route for getting power from the Bruce Nuclear Development into Southwestern Ontario. The Central Working Group represents various groups including such farm organizations as the Huron County Federation of Agriculture, the National Farmers' Union, the Con- cerned Farmers of the United Townships, the Ontario Cattlemen's Association, and the Agricultural Power Line Working Committee. Elston warned that the introduction of the Ontario Consolidated Hearing Act will require one hearing for all the acts to be heard, instead of separate hearings.. under each act such as the Environmental Assess- ment Act. "A matter of public concern will require more co- . operation from organizations (such as the .township federations of agriculture)" said Elston, "because there will only be one chance to get a kick at the cat."

He was one of the fami- ly and there were so many things that made me think off him. Until I moved to Goderich in '46, I was one of those peo- ple who, had to be called, shaken and threatened before I could awaken. Walt convinced me that I could wake up any timed wished if I would just concentrate on the time before I fell asleep. Well, it always worked when I did it right, but if I didn't fall asleep with this on my mind - I wouldn't awaken at seven or whatever time I had set but five minutes after seven. Mr. Cat would be tapping me on the arm, then the cheek. Many times I would keep my eyes closed; then peek at him to see what he would do next. He would then put his face up close and star -4 at my eyes and I'd start to laugh. Many, many times he was a real Godsend by waking me.

IN OPERATIVES GODERJCI'•ISIGNAG,STAR, WEDNESDAY, JULY 29,1981—PAGE Z with Martha Rathburn and one day this skinny grey cat - looking so starved - kept corning to the door. rHe was so wild, he would run and hide the minute you opened the door. I couldth't stand having a hungry cat around! So you know what happened. 1 still don't allow him in the house but he has grown a lot and has filled out and will be a very large beautiful cat. I've been thinking serious- ly about the Mr. part - if I'm going to have him around, he must be neutered. I've been putting this off' because, although 'he has become friendly, he still Ries from the car. This morning I heard the br-r-r-ow an adult sound these fellows make - and wondered if I'm too late or should he be allowed to learn what he's going to miss - what SHOULD .1 do? I'm really torn - knowing in the fall we will be going away. I feel there are enough Torn cats in the vicinity and 1 should take him to the vet so that some family will care for him later on. What do youthink? Seriously, I believe, now, that Mr. Cat sent him - now what would YOU think of that bit of nonsense? And so it goes. Once the carpeting was down in the large roorns, I was able to make it presentable. My grandchildren have rallied around - you just wouldn'.t believe how they have helped - or how much I have loved them for )it. Somehow, when the family is scattered and some distance from you, you don't expect them to help as they would if you were in the same town. These kids have two wonder- ful parents who gave each one special care for 14 or 15 years - then hoped they could carry their adulthood themselves - which I must say they have done - BEAUTIFULLY! I am so proud of all of them - near and far away as it happens - and I know other grandmothers understand and would like to do many nice things for them when they can - just as I hope to. Bless them all - bless them. all.
