Soya Beans and Corn for Silage On “The Maples” farm, near Kemptville, 0nt., owned anduoperat. ed by Dr. Frank T. Shutt, C.B.E., and his nephew, A. A. Holmes, a small area of newlyâ€"broken land was sown with soya beans, in the spring of 1935. The stuff grew like Jack’s beanâ€"stalk and soon presented a prob- lem as to what could be done with it. The stalks were heavily podded and might have yielded a crop of seed, (but the crop kept on growing so long that maturing the seed was out of the question; and still it grew unâ€" til the idea of making hay out of it was dismissed. Dr. Shutt, having been Dominion chemist for 46 years, knew some- thing of the chemical composition of soya beans and that they are high in protein and carbohydrates, con- siderably higher than corn in this respect. So why not put the growthy crop of soya beans in the silo with the corn? 'Thus‘ was the problem solved, and the resultant silage prov- ed most palatable and. nutritious. This year at “The Maples” anâ€" other bumper crop of soya beans was grown on a larger acreage, an area fertilized last year for potatoes and mangels, and the soya bean crop "esponded to the residual fertility in the soil. Again the crop was en- siled with the corn, and the results obtained warrant the adoption of this method as standard practice. 0n Silage Production An endorsement of this practice is to be found in a recent bulletin issued by Dr. E. S. Hopkins and P. 0. Ripley of the Central Experimen- tal Farm. In a section devoted to soya beans as a silage crop they impart the following information: “Soya beans for silage are planted with a grain drill in rows 30 inches apart, with the plants anout three inches apart in the row. This reâ€" ‘quires about 30 pounds of seed per iacre. Soya beans should be ensiled iwhen the pods are well filled but |before the leaves begin to turn yelâ€" low. They may be ensiled either alone or, as is more frequently the ‘case, in a mixture with corn. They may be mixed in any proportion, but as corn is an almOSt ideal silage crop, it might be used in relatively larger amounts. A mixture of three parts of corn to one part soya beans produces an excellent quality of silage.” News and Information tor the Busy Farmer ONWMOM®NOWN Lumber, Lath, Shingles Ashphalt Roofing, Gyproc SHEPPARD & GILL LUMBER CO. RICHMOND HILL Telephone 27 Dealers in The Township of Markham was appropriated by settlersâ€"largely of German origin, coming as U. E. Loy- alists from Pennsylvania and doubtâ€" less their burial grounds were in- augurated by the beginning of the last century, hence it is hard to unâ€" derstand why these interments were made in private ground as late as 1832. Editor, The Liberal, Dear Sir:â€" Enclosed is a copy of inscriptions appearing on an ancient marble head- stone, with its location described. Perhaps some of your numerous readers are familiar with the history of these graves, or, at least, with traditions relating to themâ€"and could enlighten me as to why‘ they are not in one or another of the long established burial grounds in the vicinity. Copy of inscriptions on lonely graveâ€"stone stand on the north side of the fence line between Lot 2'? and 28, Con. 2, Markham, at a point a- bout one quarter of the depth of Con. W. from the rear (or ‘Third Line’). “Sacred to the memory of John Atkinson who departed this life 21 October, 1833, aged ’77 (possibly 71) years.” Any light on the subject would be appreciated by me, and‘ probably by many others of your readers. Yours very truly, A United Empire Loyalist Descendant. The Editor, The Liberal Sir:â€" Another season has rolled by as far as plowing matches and compe- titions are concerned and in summing- up what I have seen and heard I think everyone will agree that it has been a very successful year. More plowing matches were organized, entries at most matches exceeded former years, both of which are very healthy signs. - .- n u ‘V‘Klso George Atkinson, son of the above, who departed this life 15 May, 1832, aged 30 years." an-I] .._,W, High cut plowing had practically disappeared and jointcr work has gone to the fore even in the eastern sections Where narrow bottom usu. ally prevailed. Manufacturers have been experimenting on jointer plows trying to have them as near perfecâ€" tion as possible which, of course, is in the first interests of good plow- ing. They also have been pushing the sales of Disc Flows in recent years which no doubt haVe a place on the farm. In talking to one first class farmer who had a Disc plow for three years he stated that he had used it for three seasons- to do all the plowing but this year had bought a tractor mouldboard plow for fall plowing. He said “I used the disc after harvest, then cultivat. ed and harrowed and will finish up with the mouldboard plow which looks to me the sensible way as next spring the seed bed will be more even and better.” I Was- much impressed this fall in going around the country with the better work being done on the aver- age farm. Lower crowns, straighter plowing, better finishes. So much for the holding of Plowing Matches. The attendance at the Matches this fall was splendid and in going across the headlands many comments were heard. So I suggest to the readers of your valuable paper to answer this question: Would it not be more practical to have a time limit on the first and heavy rounds in order to eliminate such excessive handling of furrows? I am in favor of a cer- tain amount of handling to straight- en out some of the kinks on the crown but to get down on your hands and knees and pat every particle of the furrow is not practical or pro- fitable. Some suggest no handling COUNCILLOR JAMES McLEAN DISCUSSES PLOWING AND PLOWING MATCHES Letters From The People NEGLEC’I‘ED GRAVES DAILY SERVICE â€" LOW RATES NORTH BAY - CALLANDER - HUNTSVILLE PARRY SOUND - GRAVENHURST - BARRIE - ORILLIA MIDLAND - BEIAVERTON between RICHMOND HILL and and intermediate points THE LIBERAL, RICHMOND HILL, ONTARIO R.R. 1, Richmond Hill, 16th December, 1936 ATTRACTIVE RATES TO OTHER CANADIAN AND USA.

PREDICTED SEERESS Within two years a very sad Prince Edward will wander about the World from country to country, trying desâ€" perately to forget his sorrows. He will have lost the woman for Whom he gave up his Throne, and he will spend his final days in Hungary and England. . .alone. This is the prediction of Madame Ferfren Laila, “professor of occult science,” who visited Toronto recent- 1y. Although her home is in Paris, she has spent most of her life in various places from New York City to Hong Kong. at all which I think is wrong as, if the spectators in viewing the work, saw nothing better at a match tJhan they1 could see at home, our interest and attendance would diminish. The reign of George VI, says Ma- dam Laila, will be a prosperous one for the Empire, because, during- that period it will enlarge, partly from the “annexation of certain islands," following a great war. The war, she says, will take place in 1937...but the Empine will not become involved in it. As a matter of fact, the Empire will benefit, be. cause it will sell vast quantities of munitions and other material to the various nations. Just about the time this war gets well under way, prosperity will re- turn to Canada in such measures that the former boom times will look like lean years in camparison. Fur- thermore, it, won’t be a fleeting pros- perity, it will be here to stay. In the early part of next year, a great oil field will be discovered within eight milespf Toronto. Madam Laila predicts. In February a Toronâ€" I think a. good discussion would be in order. to man will perfect a certain type of plantâ€"Madam is not certain whether it will be vegetable or fruitâ€"which will possess amazing properties. First of all, the fruit or vegetable which it will produce will’ be sold both dried and fresh. Secondly, the leaves will make a fabric which will be not only waterproof, but fireproof. This material will also be much in demand by warring nations. In March, this Toronto scientist will commence to builtl his factories, and by the middle of the summer the first crop will be ready for the mill. Madam Laila claims she has preâ€" dicted many world events, and just in case you are skeptical, she pro- duces a huge scrap «book containing newspaper clippings in a score of languages.
