The secretary^fieldmto, Gor­don Grieg, Bluevale and .Clinton, was asked to contact R. H. Stew­ art, Almonte, to seed! he would be able to attend meetings in the county to discuss farm income tax problems. The directors endorsed a re­ solution (forwarded by the Stanley Township Federation, asking that farmers consigning livestock to community .sales be compelled to give Hieir names at the time of sale and that this be instituted on a province-wide basis. A second resolution from Haw­ ick Township regarding the Shortage of feed oats in this part of the country was also endorsed. The resolution stated the belief that since the grain quotas of the Western Canadian farmers were based upon bushel basis, rather than on i pounds, the farmers were delivering wheat, rather than oats, because of the differ­ ence to weight. (Wheat: 60 pounds per bushel; oats: 34 pounds Ter bushel). Both .resolu­ tions .were forwarded to the On­ tario Federation of Agriculture, Buying Fertilizer?I Contact Geo. T.

Parks, Department of Field Husbandry, Kemptvllle Agricultural iSclwol, it covers the importance of ‘good management in the producing of satifactory yields. While the book is quite basic it would make excellent reading for any farmer. Perhaps that is what makes it interesting. It is a practical guide that covers the problems of the average farm. Mapy readers, if they are familiar with othei’ agricultural texts, will be relieved to find that Mr. Parks ‘has not burdened his publisher, or reader, with charts and tables .to any great extent. Often charts and tables are useful but the author felt that by keeping them to a minimum he would hold the interest of the reader more ily—in this we agree. Deals With Various Phases Breaking down’ the book seven chapters, Mr. Parks dealt effectively with the various phases of crop production. He states, “You should know your soil—-its capabilities and limit­ ations”. He .stresses efficient use, proper tillage and crop rota­ tion with . adequate fertilizer. He feels these with, seed suit­ able for your area should give increased yields with a satisfac­ tory net. return. • If all farmers were to follow his suggestions for -a hay and pasture program it is possible that the gross income of a farm could be increased 10%. Pasture ■renovation and management is the key. Most farmers are, in this area, obtaining-- satisfactory hay yields but more than 25 % of them are losing out in the pasture program, at .least that is what we are told. •Mr. .Parks believes we perhaps could increase^ our pasture re­ turns with more emergency crops such as Rye and Sudan Grass etc. This has distinct .possibili­ ties. Rye pasture can shorten the stable feeding .period as .much as 60 days .Some years. Just ima­ gine—cut stable feeding 30%. For mil'k production suggests a limited acreage sudan grass or other grasses maintain the maximum' flow July and August.
