Department :of Agriculture Says
"Don't Overlook Orchard Grass"
There has been a long standing
need for a grass species that will
provide productive mid -summer
.grazing. Orchard grass, which is
becoming increasingly popular in
the pasture meadows of south-
western Ontario, seems to fill this
n,:ed in part.
Orchard grass has deep exten-
sive fibrous root system which
gives it an advantage over many
s'ia11ow rooted pasture grasses.
Plants recover rapidly after graz-

:ng or cult ng and respond rapidly
to top -dressing with nitrogenous
fertilizers. Its greatest advantage,
however, lies in its drought resis-
tance where the plants continue
growth when many other grasses
chase to p•. oduce.
Although grass is palatab;e
when in a leafy stage, the matur-
ing sterns become woody and un-
palatable. Therefore, careful pas-
ture management must provide for
maintaining the grass in a leafy
condition. This condition may he
'maintained by careful grazing
and/or mowing back the fields
when many uneaten stems are ob-
served .in the pasture.
Orchard grass is sensitive to
flooding for prolonged periods and
should always be located on areas
where there is good surface drain-
age to provide for rapid spring
run-off. Perhaps the greatest en-
emy to maitaining good stands of
orchard grass is severe ice -sheet
conditions that occur in some win-
ters. All varieties of orchard grass
so far produa„ed will die under
these conditions.
Three Londoners
Face Charges In
Hensall. Robbery
Three Londoners face a total of
28 charges in connection with ut-
tering and false pretences following
pleas made before Magistrate Dud-
ley E, Holmes,
Leonard H. Cowan and Alex-
ander G. Gray each pleaded guilty
to five charges involving about
$405.
In addition Gray pleaded guilty
to 15 more charges, two of which
linked him with a $3%000 theft
last year from a Hensall woman
Mrs. Alice Jaynt.
The third Londoner, Miss Eliza-
beth Norkin, appeared two weeks
ago to plead guilty to three counts
of uttering and false pretenses.
The trio, out on bail, was re-
rnanded in custody until appear-
ance on Thursday in Goderich.
Whenever severe winter condi-
tions have caused damage to ar-
chard grass :•tands, the Canadian
bred varieties have been greatly
superior to foreign bred varieties
in their resistance to winterkilling.
Seed production of Canadian bred
orchard grass varieties has been
greatly limited. However, seed of
Hercules, a hardy Canadian bred
variety is at present being multi-
plied and should be available in
the near future.

W. Smith, Hensall
Heads Horne Show
A Hensall man, William C.
Smith, manager of General Coach
Works, will preside at the first
national "Mobile Home Show,” at
Toronto in April. More than 30
exhibitors will participate in the
event, which will display all the
newest and most modern styles of
mobile homes.
Since the end of the last war,
mobile homes have become in-
creasingly popular in both Canada
and the United States. It has been
established that over 20,000 Can-
adian families, numbering over
60,000 persons, are presently resid-
ing in mobile homes.
The trend to mobile homes has
been a boom locally, as many dis-
trict residents are employed at
General Coach Works in Hensall.
