Early grazing helps to accomplish this. C. D. MacKenzie, Divis'on of Animal Husbandry, Do- mininn Experimental Farm Service, minion Experimental Farm serv1ce, also suggests practising rotatiOnal grazing, using annual pasture crops such as oats and sudan grass, and providing the cows with aftermath from part of the area used for hay. Also, silage and soiling crops can often be used to supplement the reg- ular pastures, particularly during the latter part of the summer. Oh good pasture cows giving from 30 to 3'5 pounds of milk daily need very little grain. However, cows giving over this amount require one pound of meal for each three pounds ‘of milk produced above it. As young growing grass is high in protein, a meal mixture composed to home- grown grains such as oats and bar- ley is satisfactory. With more ma- ture grasses, however, it is advisable to add a small amount of linseed oil meal or ground soybeans to the home-grown grains in order to prop- erly balance the ration. In addition, sufficient water a supply of salt, and a mineral mixture should be sup- plied, taking care that the cows have shade and protection from flies.

ONTARIO RICHMOND HILL The old- maxim “Make hay while' the sun shines" is fast losing its universal application in connection with the process of converting grass and legume crops into feed for live- stock. The relatively newer method‘ of ensiling these crops enables the grower to produce a good quality of feed under adverse weather conditions which might render hay making imâ€" possible, states P. O. Ripley, Field Husbandry Division, Dominion Ex- perimental Farms Service. This does not. mean that rainy weather is more suitable than fine weather for mak- ing silage, but since it takes several days to make grasses and legumes into hay, while they can be ensiled immediately as cut, the chance of weather damage is practically elim- inated by the latter method. For sixteen years the Field Hus- ( bandry Division, Central Experimen- , tal Farm, Ottawa, has conducted ex- , periments with regard to various 1 methods of ensilin-g some 20 differâ€" ent crops. Red clover or alfalfe cut , when in full bloom, sweet clover in' the bud stage, and timothy, oats or barley cut just after heading, have all been made into excellent silage. The moisture content of the crop is extremely important in making sil- age. If it is too wet there is danger of rotting and if too dry moulding ,may take place. Normally, a mois- ‘ ture content of 70 per cent is nearly ideal and cutting at the stages men- tioned above will give approximate- ly the correct amount of moisture, providing there is not too much add- ed by the outside 1nfluence of dew or rain. As further insurance against poss- ible spoilage in the silo, the addi- tion of molasses to grasses and le- gumes for silage is recommended. Molasses provides the necessary car- bohydrates upon which bacteria may feed to produce lactic acid, which in turn preserves the silage. These ma- terials, although relatively high in corn are comparatively low in grasses and legumes and their addition art- ificially to the latter crops is thereâ€" fore recommended. Approximately 50 pounds of molasses per ton of . crop ensiled should give good results. The more adverse the weather con- ditions, the greater the need for adding molasses. "Wynne, H, Grasse and legumes properly handled as silage will provide high- ly nutritious feed with comparative- ly little loss and at relatively law cost. In contrast to hay making, ensriling‘ is not so dependent on the whims of the weather man. The Weed oftheWeek Wild Mustard This annua weed, now in flower, is so prevale t in Ontario that a description of the plant is hardly ne- cessary. The seed is black, 1/16 of an inch’ in diameter, perfectly spherâ€" ical, resembling rape or turnip seed and. retains its vitality fer many years when buried in the soil, says the Crops, Seeds and Weeds Branch, Ont. Dept. of Agriculture, Toronto. An average planrt produces aboutl The seeds are dispers- . 15.000 Seeds. ed by water and birds but chiefly as an impurity in seeds. Contrary to the belief of many farmers, a heavy infestation of Wild Mustard does reduce the yield of grain by as much as 8 or 10 bushels per acre, by the deletion of soil mois- ture and plant food. Pull stray plants when in bloom. Where a field is badly infested delay seeding to allow for more thor- ough cultivation, thereby killing myriads of young plants before grain is sown. Harrow the field when the grain is two or three inches with a light harrow, or use an implement known as a finger weeder. The young ‘ seedlings are easily dislodged with- out material injury being done to the grain crop. Follow by after- harvest cultivation, stirring the soil to a depth of 2 to 4 inches to induce germination'of as much seed as poss- ible. later destroying the young plants by subsequent cultivation. Spray the area with a solution made up of 3-0 lbs. of copper sulâ€" phate or biuestone to 100 gallons of water.

I Rain or Shine T‘VO-LANE TRAFFIC Million Apple Trees Are Never Sprayed Insect pests increase rapidly in Onâ€" tarioâ€"-seven sprays new necessary‘ by commercial growers to ensure clean apples, says P. W. Hodgetts, of Out. Fruit Branch. There are over one million apple trees in Ontario that are never spray-‘ ed and should be cut down as they are hotbeds of disease, says P. W. Hodgetts, Director of the Fruit Branch, Ont. Dept. of Agriculture, Toronto. The last census showed lthere were over 200,000 farms in Ontario with 170,000 of these farms having fruit trees, mostly apples. Not 25,000 farmers sprayed their trees, Mr. Hodgetts stated. Insect pests have increased rapid- ly in the last 30 years due to ne- glected orchards. In- 1910 only three sprays were necessary to combat dis- ease and produce good ciean apples, while in 1940 seven sprays or more will be needed to ensure quality fruit. San Jose scale is still bad in south- western Ontario due to neglected or- chards as breeding places. Mr. Hodgetts stated some of the larger commercial growers were cut- ting out odd varieties and older trees. These varieties being removed included Baldwins, Starks, Ontarios, Wagners â€"â€" all lowâ€"priced cooking lapples â€"â€" due to the lessened demand in competition with such varieties as McIntosh, Delicious and Spy. “There is only one way to get rid of these diseaseâ€"infested trees, and that is to appeal to the farmers’ good sense and community spirit,” said Mr. Hodgetts. The Statistlcs Branch of the On- tario Department. of Agriculture has publiEhed the June Crop Report giv- ing an outllne of crop conditiOns as compiled from reports received from a large staff of regular correspond- ents Frequent rains during May delayed the completion of seeding of spring grains in Ontario generally by from two to three weeks. At the first of June spring grain seeding was finished in Essex and Kent, and 90% to 95% in the other counties of Old Ontario, except in two areas, one in ‘ Western Ontario comprising the counties of Dufferin, Grey, Welling- ton, Perth and Huron, and the other' comprising Carleton, Lanark, Gren- ville, and the counties east to the Quebec border. In these two areas from 50% to 80% of spring seed- ing was done at June lst, but com- pletion was not expected until be- tween June 15th and 18th, which would be about three weeks later than normal. In Northern Ontario seeding varies considerably this sea- son. Cochrane reports about 10% of spring grains seeded at June 1st, with completion not expected before the end of June or three weeks later than usual. In Temiskaming‘ and lNipissing 40% of the acreage was seeded around June 15th, or two lweeks later than normal, while in ‘Algoma 80%, and in Kenora prac- tically 100% cf the acreage was Crop Conditions in . Ontario. sown at June lst. ' The germination of seeded fields. this year has been excellent due tol the abundant supplies of moisture.I The spring grains which were seedâ€"i ed earlier are making excellent growth, but the excessive rains hadj a detrimental effect on some low fields where water caused some dis-i colouring, and in a few cases xthel crop was drowned out. ,In the twol groups of counties mentioned in the‘] first paragraph, prospects are not too favourable for spring grains on account of very late seeding due to heavy precipitation, but in the other counties of Old Ontario the outlook is considered very good as ample rainfall combined with warmer wea- ther now prevailing Will result in very rapid growth. The over-winter crops, fall wheat.‘ alfalfa, hay and clover, and pastures lhave'made exceptional growth during the past month and are now gener- ally in above average condition throughout the province. .......°,_e Fall Wheat sustained very little winter killing this season and is re- ported good in all districts. Middle- sex reports this crop making excep- tional growth and some fields are quite rank. In a number of coun- ties the growth is so heavy that some fields are already showing a tendency toward lodging. On June 6th fall wheat was heading out in Essex County, and in Perth County ‘was entering the shot blade. l Alfalfa shows heavy crop pros-l THURSDAY, JUNE pects and some fields in South-west- ern Ontario are now standing over two feet high. In Kent County cuttâ€" ing commenced around the 8th of June, while in Lennox and Addingq tun a few lots were cut on June 5th. Throughout the remainder of Old Ontario cutting will be general between June 10th and 20th. Old hay and clover fields promise a good. crop. although some fields are rather thin in a number of counties, and. the 1939 seedings of hay and clover, which survived the drought last year, are making excellent development. Pastures were rather slow in start- ing this season on account of the slow, cold backward spring, but dur- ing the past five weeks have made very fast growth and are in excell- ent shape from one end of the prov- ince to the other. Live stock were turned out to grass generally be- tween May 20th and June 151; and are reported to be making good gains. particularly in several coun- ties where fee<i supplies were rather scarce and cattle only in fair con- dition when turned out. At the present time farmers in Old Ontario are engaged in seeding corn, late potatoes, a small amount of late spring grains on wet land, buckwheat, soybeans and root crops.
