of maurice o beat well known trafalgar town ship farmer rhls was the story re vealed to the group led by agricultural representative j e whltelock on the pasture tour sponsored by the halton crop improvement association recent ly the tour included visits to the farms of a 8 mahon hi bon nasea- gaweya township j allan dixon nelsontrafalgar town line wm booth and m c bcaty trafalgar township anderson bros c f pic kett and gerald graham of esques- ing township at all points ihe members of th broup saw and learned wmethlng of interest to paiodlze julius caesar of ancient history they came they saw and vcrc convinced rhoy were convinced tltut the modern long term paiture when comixised of the proper mixtures of grasses and ilocrs when properly sown on n well prepared field in a high slatc of ferlllty and fol lowed up by good mannxement of fers real possibilities in the lowering of production costs the highlight of the entire tour was however at the beaty farm where a 16 acre field was sown in 1044 to he ojvc long term pasture mixture along with a nurse crop of 1 bushel of oat to the acre this past spring the field was divided by means of an electric fence into four 4 acre pad docks as a result of the backward spring the herd was not turned on the first 4 acre paddock until may x owing to this late start and the rapid growth the herd of 36 jersey cows was unable to keep up with the grass and one four acre slock waa out for bay nnd six loads hauled to the bam dur ing the period may 25 to august 31 the field mas pastured so days and nights during this time the field supplied a total of 2299 pasture days of wlilch 1900 were milk cow days and uie balance dry stock the value of the milk produced in the 89 days was 1397 46 this figure u based on toronto price less transportation char ges and other deductions accordng to n j thomas well known o a c pasture authority who i ccom pained the tour and look a lead lng part in the discussion at each point lh btty field had been ex- re ptlonally well managed accord ing to mr beaty two of the paddocks were clipped twice and the other tro only once during the period and in in swer to an inquiry rom a member of the group mr beaty admitted without heiltotlon lhat the 16 acre pasture field had given the larges returns and the greatest net profit of any 16 aencteon his 200 acre farm in 1046 it was also interesting to learn from mr beaty that while grain was fed in the stable the amount of grain and concentrate fed wa reduced be low the level at previous nantnert and so concluded the first pasture tour sponsprebttrr halton and while a heavy shower in the morning and a threatening dtj no doubt had some thing to do with the small attendance your reporter could only conclude that the majority of halton farmers in common with the great majority of ontario farmers are as yet not pa ture conscious it is safe to predict however that during the next ten years ontarios most neglected crop will develop to a point where it will receive first consideration on every well managed dairy farm terra cotta last week mr and mrs miller and family have moved into mr c soper s house on the 4tlrune the united
