over the muter clote putatur ing ui october is not ueurt us 1m portaut a factor as the same practice in september staled both mr tho mas and dr itobt weir of uie field husbandry dept at the oac it was also interesting to learn that mr tliomas is of the opinion that due perhaps to heavier livestock holdings we are not in recent years plowing down as much top in our clover fields as we did 25 or 30 years ago this he states has a pood deal to do with uie lowered fertility and humus levels of our soils in contrast to the practice onthe great majority of our ontario farms of not plowing down a fit id of clover until it is run out the bruisi farmer believes in the practice of plowing down a held of clover when it is lrf hs prme in view of the state ment by messrs thomas and we r we can t help but wonder if a lot of our trouble with alfalfa winter killing is not due to the tendency to too close pasturing during september and the practice on some farms of taking on an extra cutting for hay which might better be pastured and lett to go into the winter with more top we lurther nderstand from mr whrtetock that tentative plans are under way to hold a- pasture tour la ter in the month the tour will in elude visits not only to a number of fields in the competition but also a a piece of flas which floods badly which was biofcen this spring after being down for a great many years and raseeded and also jjlp a rough hilly field which is difficult to plow and which was top worked with discs and cultivated fertilized and resee- ded a visit to these various fields should have much of
