BUYING A BOAR
What is a good boar these days?
It seems that the qualities which
really make the difference to your
eventual. income from the boar
are hard to judge by looking at
him. These two traits are back-
fat thickness and his age at 200
pounds. Both qualities are import-
ant if you 'desire fast finishing
lean market hogs, The average
backfat thickness of boars tested
in 1971 was Q.82 inches and the
age at 200 pounds was 155 days.
These figures are the average so
halt the 'boars were either leaner
and - or younger. There are two
sales coming up with above av-,,
erage boars being offered. The
dates are August 24th and Sept-
'weber 21st at the Waterloo R.O.P.
test station. The time of the sales
will be 8:00 p.m.

Research in Ontario has shown

weeks Wore maxlilium-yield of
grain corn. During, this 2 - 3 week
period sugars are moved from the
stalk to the grain, but total dry
weight does not change.
A recent test'at Guelph shoived
that hybrids' reached• their max-
um yield at about 70 %' whole-

other than maximum yield usu-
ally determine when corn should
be ensiled. For instance above
