The most frustrating harve by John E. Finlay, Agricultural Representative The year 1986 will go down in history as one of the most frustrating harvest seasons ever. The quality of hay and haylage may be more variahle than most years, because of the delay in cutting and in many cases, deterioration from excessive rainfall. This inferior. quality forage will result in poor production and health disorders unless grain rations ar balanced. These feeding problems can be minimized by taking samples at the time of storage or, if this hasn't been done, taking the samples as soon as possible. When sampling baled hay, proper sampling can be assured by setting aside a few bales from each field as Sign up for Fellowship sisters turkey dinner before its too late Seagrave and Area News by Diane Cooke " The Seagrave Turkey Supper is the 5th of November.

The ladies looking after this are Tough Guys not just for the young by Margaret Rowland Who says elderly gentlemen can't be "tough guys?' Kirk Douglas and Burt Lancaster certainly don't feel they're ready for rocking chairs yet. "Tough Guys" is the story of liv- ing on the outside after 30 years in the slammer for robbing a train. Ar- chie and Harry must learn to adapt to the world that has changed so drastically from when they knew it. Learning to cope with a new en- vironment isn't their only problem. They've got a homicidal maniac after them to finish the job that he was paid to do 30 years before; he must kill Archie and Harry. One scene shows just how tough Kathleen Brown 985-9918 and Kathy Hatch 985-8888. Also new members please remember to bring an exchange gift. A good time and a good turn out for the Robin Glade Estates Womens group last Thursday even- ing. Many thanks to Linda Calder for all the work she did for that fun evening. The group meets next on Thursday, November 6 at Joan Gor- dons home. There will be great crafts to make, prizes given out, goodies to eat and friends to make. the duo can be. As they walk down a street they are approached by a group of street-wise punks. When the pair refuse to pay for walking down the street the gang draws swit- chblades. 'For instance," Archie says, "you aren't allowed to do this." He proceeds to kick one of the punks then finishes with a right hook. While Harry causes havoc at a" retirement home where he was plac- ed on his release from prison, Ar- chie loses job after job. They realize that they can't live normally on the outside so they decide to bring the old gang back together and do what they did best -- rob. It's almost over another busy season Labour Pool ends The East Central, Canada Farm Labour Pool is nearing completion of another busy summer. Unusual and difficult weather patterns throughout the season made harvest work quite hectic, if not near im- possible at times. Our offfices have been excep- tionally busy this year with the number of placements 3607 to the end of September; an increase of 26 percent over last year. Of these, 1048 were credited to our Cannington of- fice and 391 to the Peterboro area. There were 160 new employers us- ing the service. The day work program has become very popular as students have more flexibility than with a full time job and can earn reasonable wages. The farmers have the extra assistance when and as they need it for the busy days of harvesting or for summer projects. Unfortunate- ly the demand goes far beyond the available workers and we are hard pressed to fill the needs of our area. A great deal of credit is due the young people who contribute the major source of labour for agriculture harvesting each year. Our office maintains contact with these workers throughout the year as there are frequently requests for help on Saturday and Holidays, many students develop an interest in the farming industry from their summer experiences. Happy Anniversary wishes go out to Doug and Helena Edinger celebrating their 21st anniversary. Best Wishes and many many more from the 'Flamingo Kids." P.S. Keith, hope your feet aren't too cold!!

An ar- mored truck, waiting outside a bank, seems like an easy target, un- til they open it to find one roll of quarters. When Archie and Harry learn that the train they robbed 30 years ago, the Gold Coast Flyer, is making its final run they know they want to repeat the job that gave them fame. They board the plane to find a group of journalists so they make sure the story is told right and pose for pictures. Then, the homicidal maniac, Leon B. Little, shows up to kill them but, as the train starts off, joins the adventure. As Archie and Harry leave the journalists and police officers behind and throw Leon B. Little off the train, they know that there would never be hope for them out- side of the prison walls. When the train reaches the United States-Mexico border it barrels through the fence and into the dirt of Mexico where the American authorities can't touch them. However, when the Mexican police arrive to arrest them, Archie ex- plains that there are rules to ar- resting someone. This movie is fun for people of all ages and truly deserves an A.

Sampling from the mow face is also possible if hay from all fields is accessible in storage. Core samples should be taken from about a dozen bales represen- ting the various qualities of hay found in the mow. These samples should be mixed together in a clean pail and a small amount of this mix- ture sent away for analysis. If the hay is divided into distinct categories for feeding purposes (e.g. high legume hay in one mow, grass hay in another), a separate sample should be analyzed for each category. Silage samples should be taken as the silo is being filled using some method of timing (e.g. a handful from every fourth wagon load). These samples should be placed in freezer bags and frozen at the end of each day. After filling is com- plete, the samples can be thawed, mixed together in a clean pail, and a small portion put into a plastic bag for sending to the lab. If sampling is to take place from an already filled silo, the silage should be fed for at least two weeks. This will assure a better dry matter reading than sampling off the top of a silo. It should be kept in mind, however, that sampling from a fill- ed silo may not give a good representation of what is in the rest of the silo. Grain should be sampled by tak- ing handfuls from various places throughout the bin. Care should be taken not to sample strictly from the top where a high proportion of chaff may be found. Digestible Protein analysis is useful if a decrease in protein digestibility is suspected in haylage, THA DENTURE THERAPY CLINIC PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, October 21, 1986 -- 37 st seasons ever which has overheated in the silo. Samples submitted for Digestible Protein analysis must be taken from the silo after fermentation has taken place, and not as the silo is being filled. Feed analysis results must be us- ed to help tormulate a feeding ra- tion, if any benefit is to be derived from them. Farmers can have this done through a computerized Ration Formulation Service for dairy, beef and sheep producers. All of the necessary sampling materials and further information on using the analysis results in feed formulation are available from your county office of the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food. RODENT CONTROL Recent surveys in Ontario in- dicate 89 percent pork producers have rodent problems. Each live rat seen could indicate the presence of 10 - 20 more unseen. Each rat can eat 10 Kg or more feed each year, and spoil much more with its drop- pings. They cause insulation and structural damage and may cause electrical fires, but by far the greatest danger is as a carrier of disease into your herd. Rodents are recognized as carriers of approx- imately 45 diseases including: Lep- tospirosis, Swine Dysentry, Trichinosis, Toxoplasmosis and Pasteurellosis. It pays to control them! Under the Ontario Pork Industry Improvement Plan, an enrolled pork producer is eligible to receive a $250 grant on completion of a 12 month rodent control program by a professional, licensed exterminator.
