very sap py and takes a good deal of mak ing considerable hay has already been baled and we cant help but wonder if some of it isnt going to me musty when bales are opened next winter spring grains continue to promise a heavy crop last winter we suggested the idea of mulching buntejotthe spring grain with the hope t would stimulate better catches of seeds help to retain soil moisture and also prevent coll erosion several farmers have tried out the idea and it certainly has given results during the past week we called on j m readhead of lowvllle maurice went into the broiler business a little over two years ago at the moment they have something over 12000 in their barn which has been converted into a broiler factory frankly it is quite a sight to behold however what we started out to report was the appearance of some of his spring grain and new seed- ings some of the manure from his broiler pens was spread as a mulch on a section of one of his fields the difference in appear ance between the area mulched and that unmulched is amazing to say the least on the mulched area the grain and new seeds are not only much more vigorous but they are a deep green in comparison to the unmulched areas if the present drippy weather continues it almost looks as if those who tried out the mulching idea are going to cuss us at harvest time farm news farm labour in very short supply 1951
