EARLY SPRING A MIXED BLESSING ON THE FARM (By Rusticus) RR the month of March ever did give us Spring weather it was in ,this Spring of 1938. Of course, the little lambs may be born before St. Fatrick'e Day, even though the 'mercury is down near the zero point, but when lambs play around beside their mother while the 'weather is decidedly more like late AprLo than March, then wee young ranibe certainly do belong to Spring. The birds, too, sing each morning, and snowdrops bloom in the garden, Daffodils are peeking through the ground. There are farmers who point out that it may he Spring; that there have been other years—true, now quite a few years pats --when much of the seed was in'the ground by April Fool's .Day, We understand, though, that the seeding was then followed by weeks of unsatisfactory weather, z Them theer are others of more pessimistic attire, who claim that we will ",pay" for this. line weather later on. They sort of take It for granted that there is bound to be some wind travelling around in Sprng, and if it doesn't blow in March it most likely will in April, * * Wheat and clover are in excel- lent condition right own, The great harvest gamble is o once more. What can one spell of frost and a high wind do to those crops? The danger will not be over for same weeks yet. These days of 60 and 70 degrees have started a slight growth in the fields, and the -danger of winter -killing is now just a little greater, should severe frosts come than hed the wheat and clover remained totally dormant. There is an old saying •that the frogs, wtil have to be silenced by frost or bad weather three times, They are certainly making them- selves heardthese evenings. Sing- ing frogs though, do not go so welt with maple sugar boilings. Present ndlcetiens point to a disap- pointing flow of dap, Perhaps that Is Jost as well. After all the product of the maple tree, impor- tant from an economic standpoint as it is, ,plays a very small part in the Income of the farmer, compared with those other crops that norally suffer when the sap rune freely. Unless a period of frosty nights' comes, many farmers will not tap this, Spring, * These warm days have another value. There is a considerable saving, in fuel, ad meat animals musk require considerably less feed to prat on a pound of flesh. Dairy cattle, too, should produce milk at lower cost in a mild spell than they do in zero weather. The requirement to keep up body heat le certainly lower, but, for some reason we cannot explain, we find our cows generally produce a trifle more milk during a, reasonably cold snap. The cows seem to eat ther feed more readily, and aro not quite se inclined to. be restiese as in a midi spelt, * * m Jure what is wrong with the hay this winter? Live stock does not seem to thrive on it as they did on the crop a year ago, and, if wo remember correctly,'wo heard many farmers explain that there did not seem to be as Lich feed as usual in the extet'ures last slimmer, So there you have it, When the season is thy, the grass' doesn't grow, and when the season Is wet there Is something lacking in the food valve of the hay. The complaint that the cows are not nutting quite up to the mark, and butter prodvotion, would lead one to believe that there' must be a very lege reduction in the produc- tion of the old farm cow, Perhaps one of the principal reesons le that there was a good harvest last year and farmers are depending more upon hotae-1g'roea grain and. not ■ Opportuiiity SALE DAYS SPRING TIME IS NS'" nefl TIME -- Before Buying You NE,.
