Westake Chamber
Of Commerce
Climaxing' a month of intensive'
sunvey of the Westlake :District
bbusieese and pr5ofessions,'the West-
lake Chamber of Commerce became
a reality, at an organization ineeting'
on Monday, Feb. 5th,
A representative group of , men
and women met at the Win, Penn
Hotel, and, under the able leadership
of Major J, A. Crozier, acting chair-
man proceeded to complete an orga-
nization set-up with dispatch that
will set a precedent long to be re-
membered in Westlake Disitriet.
Major J. A. •Crozier was elected
president of the Westlake Chamber
of Commerce.
Major !Crozier has had et wide
experience in organization work,
one of which is the Westlake •Com-
munity Forum. The 'Chamber is
fortunate to have so active and ex-
periencetl a man to devote his, time
to the newly prganized Westlake
Chamber of Oantlnerce.
The above piece, taken from the
Westlake Post Westlake (being a
suburb of Los Angeles, will be of
interest to many of Mrs. Crozier's
old friends here. Mrs. Crozier was
formerly . lens ;Emma Walker of
Brussels and visited here last Jul,
Major Crozier was here 'a few years
ago on a short visit.
Feeding and Care
Of Dry Cow
Alt too frequently proper care
during the dry period or the dairy
cow is neglected, by dairy farmers,
states V. S, Logan, Animal Hus,
bandry Division, Central Experi-
mental .Farm, Ottanva. Thisis
bad practice because the interval
provides an opportunity for the
dairy cow to rebutid her, depleted
stores for the succeeding lactation
Period. During the height of lade -
tion, high .producing cows give off in
their milk, by drawing on their
reserves, more nutrients than they
can assimilate from the feed they
are able to eat. Therefore, if they
have a large reserve supply of fat
and mineral nutrient in their bodies
before freshening, they can main-
tain a higher level of production
during lactation.
As the period, between laetaticns
may be considered a recovery
period, it is necessary that a
reasonable length of time be allowed
1 to insure the greatest economical
milk production end a. strong,
healthy calf. Experimental evidence

Advisory Fertilizer
Board Gives
Advice on Manure 11
Long -!tenni experiment's bays
shown light to medium: applications 1
give greater returns per ton than

heavier applications.
Putting manure back on the land ,
is the natural means of returning 1
to the soil as much as possible of
the .fertility removed in crops, says
•
the Advisory Fertilizer Board for ,
Ontario, Some lose of platittood
inevitable in making and handling of
manure, and every Precaution
should 'be taken to reduce this loss 1
to a minimum.
Since more than one-half the
nitrogen and at least three-
quarters of the potash is contained
in the liquid portion of the manure,
the stable floor should be weter- 1
dight, and enough litter or betiding J
should be used to completely absorb
the liquid and prevent lose by I
seepage,
The sootier the manure can be
spread on the land after it Is made.
the less chance there is for loss.
If the manure is accunmlated in the
yard or stored for a time, it should
be kept compact and reasonably
moist to reduce lessee by lire -
hinging or excessive fermentation,
Mounts heaps exposed to the action
of heavy milts, causing runoff
front the yard, lose large aliments
of available nutrients by leaching;
Open mature yards should not be
located on slopes and should have
no driftage. Manttre sheds, cowered

to cook and their combining ability

pits, or yards with concrete door
and walls are recommended.
Longterm experiments have
shown that, in general farming,
light to medium applications of
manure give greater returns per
ton than heavy applications, Fre-
quent moderate applications of
manure are preferred to infrequent
heavy applications. Uniform distri-
bution and thorough inooaporation
with the soil as soon as possible
after spreading make for most
effective utilization.
In intensive culture such as vege-
s table gardening, due to more rapic
1 depletion of organic ma:bter, hewn
applications of manure are profit
able and necessary.
