Cut second crop
of hay early
With the cost of soybean oil
meal and other protein -rich
feed supplements remaining
high, Ontario livestock feeders
should consider cutting their
second hay crops early. Forage
legumes can be made into a
257o crude protein concentrate
which can supply all the protein
requirements of high -producing
dairy and beef animals. How-
ever, to obtain high protein
from second -cut hay, harvest it
early, says R. S, Fulkerson,
crop scientist, Ontario Agricult-
ural College, University of
Guelph,
Legumes should be cut at the
early -bud stage of development,
a week or so before the normal
second -cut harvest. In studies
sponsored by the Ontario Min-
istry of Agriculture and Food,
alfalfa cut when its buds were
about the size of a pea averag-
ed 23)/0 crude protein (as a per-
centage of dry matter), and
produced a ton of protein per
acre over the growing season.
Delaying the harvest beyond
the early -bud stage increases
the forage yield, but dilutes
the amount of protein in the
feed. Farmers looking for a
substitute for protein meal
should, therefore, harvest their
legumemeadows early. Also,
if thehay is to be stored in dry
form, favorable weather for
field curing is more likely
earlier in the summer.
Bird's -foot trefoil, Ladino
clover, and red clover, as well
as alfalfa, can be used for
concentrated protein feeds. All
must be cut at the early bud
stage when studies have shown
protein content to average
respectively 23/o, 2750, 21/0
and 23)70 (as a percentage of dry
matter). Because the leaves of
these crops Contain about 70 o
of all the protein in the crop,
they should be carefully preserv-
ed when the crop is stored as
dry hay or silage.

rges immunization
Health Minister Dr. Richard
T. Potter today urged Ontario
parents to be sure their children
are adequately immunized be-
fore they go to school in the fall,
A Ministry study, in 37 of
Ontario's 43 health units, rev-
ealed that one in every five
children entering school in
September 1972 had less than
adequate immunization against
preventable diseases. Of the
]28, 884 children in the study,
99, 881 were kindergarten child-
ren, representing 79 per cent of
all children at that school level
in the province.
About 75 per cent of those
studies had been immunized
against diphtheria, pertussis
(whooping cough), tetanus and
polio. Smallpox vaccine had
been given to 65.5 per cent of
the children.
Only 58 per cent --in some
areas, less than 30 per cent --of
the pre-schoolers had been vac-
cinated against measles. Less
than 20 per cent of the children
studies had received rubella
(German measles) vaccine.
"With this rate of immunization
outbreaks of measles are inevit-,
able, " Dr. Potter said.
Diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus,
polio immunization-- which
can be given in a single inocul-
ation- -should be completed by
the time a child is six months
old. A reinforcing dose should
follow a year later. Measles

and rubella vaccinations should
be given at 12 months of age or
shortly after.
"Every child should have pro-
tection against these preventable.
diseases as early in life as poss-
ible, " said Dr. Potter. "It ap-
pears from the data we've col-
lected that mahy parents view
the school as the primary source
of immunization. This is a cause
for concern because too many
of our children pass through
their pre-school years vulner-
able to some or all of these pre-
ventable diseases."
Parents can have their child-
ren immunized by their family
doctor or at their local health
unit.
