Any dairy and beef operation
requires a good supply of high
qua"ty feed. More could be
homegrgwn than is now done.
Where adapted and on better
land, corn will give you high -
yielding, high energy feed. But
you will need supplements as it
is low in protein. Alfalfa and
other forages will supply low-
cost protein as well as sizeable
amounts of energy. It makes
them a good partner for corn
in the feed ration.
To get higher yields, just
apply good management and so-
me common sense—just as so
many farmers do now in corn or
barley production. Here are
some basic steps to follow.
The first step is to select
proper varieties and seed mixes.
Alfalfa, birdsfoot trefoil,
broinegrass, orchardgrass and
timothy will give good satis-
faction. The mixtures and
seeding rates vary of course if
you grow them for stored feed
rather than pasture, or on poorly
drained soils as opposed to
well -drained soils. Don't hes- .
itate to check with us on what
mix you should have for your
farm conditions.
The second step is establish-
ment of the crop. If you do not
use a companion crop, you
should be able to get abteut 2
tons or more per acre in the
first year. But you will need
good weed control, high fertil-
ity and early planting on a fine,
firm, well -worked seed bed on
fall -plowed land. Legumes re-
quire high phosphorous and
potash levels. As the legume
content of your field decreases,
you will need more nitrogen
for the grasses. A soil sample
will guide you on the amounts
of fertilizer to apply. Weed
control guide books are avail-
able on request from your Ag.
Rep., or ourselves.
Cutting is an important third
step. Legumes should be harv-
ested in September as this is the -
time when they build up food
reserves in the roots for winter
survival.
Finally, the preservation of
the crop can make quite a dif-
ference in the amount of protein
you actually harvest. The leaves
constitute about 45% and the
stems about 55°jo of the total dry
matter and about 18-10 or
more of this is crude protein.
But the leaves provide for much
more protein than the stems so
it is necessary to reap as many
leaves as possible.

10
resounding reasons why
you should buya new
Chevrolet instead of a new
something else:
1 High resale value. Year after year, Chevrolet offers high resale value at
trade-in time. It's a Chevy tradition.
2 Deep down value. Flush -and -dry rocker panels and an extra set of fenders
keep Chevrolet looking good longer.
3 smooth, smooth ride. Because of Chevrolet's computer selected springs,
Full Coil suspension and advanced body mounting system.
4 Impressive styling. The impression is that it's an expensive car, if you
want to make an impression.
5 Massive interiors. Plenty of inside room, and 18 cubic feet of usable trunk
space. Stretch out or sit tall, and pack what you need for the roomiest trip you've ever had.
6 Side -guard beams. Chevrolet puts more between you and the outside.
Steel beams built into every door.
7A finish that lasts. It's unfortunate other manufacturers don't have a Magic -
Mirror finish because it sure keeps its shine.
8 Exceptional engines. Chevrolet's standard 350 -cubic -inch V8 runs on reg-
ular fuel. Plus there are five more engines—it's your choice.
9 Tremendous selection. Of colors. Of accessories. Of engines. Of transmis-
sions. Of fabrics. And of models. There are 14 big Chevrolets alone.
1 Canada's favorite. Something else a new "something else" can't claim:
Big Chevrolet is Canada's most popular car.
Impala Custom Coupe
