visiting quite a largo number of halton farms it is one thing to drive along the roads and note the crops a you pass by but to get an accur ate picture youve got to get out into the- fields we still say that halton has been hard hit by last aprlngs late frosts and the drought however we have been agreeably surprised yes a bit amazed that ffea wheat and spring grain are as good as they are yes we are def- enltaly short on hay but the big aaajnrltr of those contacted felt uttjr can wiggle through on what they have reports are now com mencing to como in which indicate that most sections of ontario are not too badly off the counties of oroylonnox and aldington have already advised thatjhey have hay for sale we also understand that oxford perth huron bruce and parts- of wellington

ed their respective farm programs in the halton soil bunding compc- lltions despite the poor crops of 1940 it has been a bit of an inspir ation to visit these men some peo ple talk about government demon stration farms in every county if such individuals could have been with us the past few days we think they would have to agree that al ready in halton we have a goodly number of excellent demonstration farms no the ore not govcrmont fqrms theyre privately owned and operated by real honest to goodness dirt farmers and they arent only making a gooa living but paying income tax too and in some cases a sizeable amount it is too early yet to draw any conclusions about the soil building competitions but the weakest link noted to date is the seed mixtures according to mrr thomas who incidentally him self operates a 100 acre- form near guelph we were intrigued on thursday last to visit one man who seeds down all his spring grain ev ery year true hell probably miss his catches this year but here is j his seed mixture per acre alfalfa is lbs rea clover 4 lbs brome grass 2 or s lbs vd timothy 4 lbs when we expressed surprise at the 1 lbs of alfalfa he replied i wouldnt sow any less if it cost 80 a bushel when we learned that in contrast to some of his neigh bours who arershort on hay and pasture he hodamplo requirements for his dairy herd from which ho ships 0 to 7 cans dally and when we noted tho best field of corn we hove seen this yoor a 30 to 35 bus crop of wheat etc we couldnh- nelp but concludo that- it is cer tainly better to sow a little more than hoccsary than not cnovigh a hod clover and timothy mixture has its place but not when it is go ing to beleft down throe or flur years second iteunion of jwacbonalii clan at terba cotta farm official fcetcbkf

into drink ing more water during winter months with highly profitable re sults for farmers it is all based on the fact that milk production bears s direct rela tionship to water consumption hence if a cow can be induced to drink more water she win give more milk for each 100 pounds of milk a cow must drink 300 pounds of water her body t about 80 per cent water milk is u per cent water a special thermostat devised by min neapolishoneywell company that regulates temperatures of outside watering troughs does the trick if drinking water is held at 45 d grees or above a cow will drink more than if the temperature la just above freezing and at milktime she will give from 10 to 10 per cent more milk the thermostat u used to operate an electric heater and can maintain any sefected water
