4h for age club at the farm of fred nurse lsquismt township on friday ev ening du to the tine hiyine sea son the attendance was somewhat disappointing h the club mem hers and the older folks who were present were mere than repaid for the effort they made following the business session pre sided over by president jamie cun mnhdin an interesting tour of nu merous points of interest was made under the joint leadership of art bennett assistant agricultural rep resentative and the bcniul host of the evening ircd nurse the first stop was a four acre pasture of or chard grass and lad i no clover see ded in loil thi four ncrt has been carrying some 27 head of jerseys 14 or 15 of whilh are cows for approximately 8 weeks since the beginning of the season orchard grass is the no 1 grass for pasture and grass sil age stated mr nurse it does however take more management in that eltpping is a necessity he added one has only to see the nuise farm to realize that the op erator is a good mechanic handy unloading device the chassis of an old mower had been mounted on a two wheeled cart and has seen seven years ser vice this is also true of the home made wagon with the moveable front which is one of the convey ances used for transporting grass silage cut hay or straw from the field to the barn or silo as the case may be electric debeaking machine as the group headed into the barn someone spied a piece of equipment which was on the barn driveway i his advised mr nune is an tl ectric de bcaki g machine they had just finished a day or two igo the debeaking of some 9a0 janu ary hitched pullets as they wire placed in the laying pens this practice stated mr nurse prevei ts feather pulling pick outs and egg eating by the birds and is well worth the time involved high line poultry which are true hy brtds have been a specialty on the nurse farm for some yeirs and in mr nurses opinion the additional cost of approximately 30 cents per bird is more thin compensated by their egg lying ability eighty per cent production for the greater part of the winter nrbnths is normal at nurse farm their 19s2 flock sold to mother poultryman two or three weeks ago was still 1 1 uu 60 per ei t production cement floors in granary nother interesting and new fea ture to most of the lroup wds tnt etment floors in the granaries and inuws this was put in a few years if by mr nurs and not only helps to keep out mice but prevents dirt and dust sifting down into the sta bll the roup also had an opportun ity of viewing the hay drier instal led by mr nurse two or three years ajo and which incidentally is oper ated by a second hand one cylinder lds engine pit silo a pit silo approximately 100 ft long 8 ft deep and 16 ft across at the top and 10 to 12 ft at the bot torn was the next point visited this pit was filled n june with approx imittly z0 tons oit 2z acres first used in 19s2 thi pit floor has been cemented the entire length and both sides for some fifty feet before the commencement of the 1953 season some 3i tons of barley meal had been used as preservative inci dentally the silage was covered with a layer of sawdust while there is a slave silo on the nurse farm the owner prefers the pit fqr grass sil age and according to mr nurse costs only about one fifth as much to construct as a cement tower silo would today if it were to hold the same amount of silage hogs another sideline ten brood sows are also carried on this 150 acre farm anyone who knows anything about pigs could not heljp but b impressed by the quality and type of this swine herd all hogs are finished on the farm as we recall there were some 70 market hogs in addition to two or three thntty new born litters scat tercd through the barn we were surprised to learn that up until a month ago no feed except for the poultry had liei n purchased need less to state conrcntrate to balance the ritions for both cattle and hogs is purchased throughout the year iikientally ihc wheat cro is fed on the farm theinu ywhen attractive home and lawns one has onlv to drive into the nurse farm lane to realize that the operator and his wife must like farm news firm life the lawns ind they ire i7eible are neitly trimmed the borders are a picture ilonj with this the whole setup looks like i going concern and that means ibility on the p of both mr and mrs fred nurse not only to get over a tremendous amount of work but outstanding managerial ability as well every member of the rroup must have marvelled as we have on nu mtious occasiors how one man even though he has an efficient telegram photo ht pmale and one hired man when such t in be obtainedo can find it possible to o trite such a business and keep smiling no fortv hour week we are confident that not only faim folks but urban dwellers too would be impressed by nurseland iarm it isn t necessary to advise our rural dwellers but perhaps it won id ii t be amiss to point out to our urban readers that this business is not operatel on a forty hour week it is when we visit farms such as this and we have quite a large number of them scattered over the county of halton that we get in s iration to try and do a little bet ter job personally we also won der loo why we organize bus trips to various sections of western and eastern ontario to ohio and mich igan when right here at home in halton we have a goodly number of farm layouts at least the equal of anything seen anywhere how ever far away fields look green and as long as men of the calibre of fred nurse and many others who might be mentioned can find time to tet away and as long as they feel that such lours give them ideas which help them then such tours will likely be continued the article would not be complete if we did not apologize to our host and hostess of friday evening for taking advantage of their hospital ity we know very well that had fred and mrs nurse known this article was going to be written they would never have consented to the halton 4h foraeciub meeting at nurseland farm however we hope it will be interpreted as a well deserved tribute not only to them but to the many other high class operators of farm and home in halton such businesses take not only a lot of energy but tremendous unount of know how that is why we have always rated the top farm operators a little higher than the top men m any other profes sion however we don t want to start an argument about that and we also hope this article won t re sult in us being shut out of nurse- lind farm nor of being shot at sum ise j e w jim mudie asphalt roofing new roofs and repairs phone 709 r

prominent tra falgar township farmer knowing that mr willmott has recently purchased a pickup baler we figured this was what he lad in mind and said so but no the piece of equipment he had in mind was a weed sprayer mr willmott was enthusiastic about the results he has been gelling trom spraying the fence bottoms ind flats on the will mott firm another year or so and well hac them clean he sta ted in referring to canada thistle lie stated thit by using 20 to 24 ounces of 2 4d icid per acre he was getting a complete kill this was good news to us because we have always been under the- impression that while 2 4d would present this particular weed going to seed it wouldn t kill it vhat of course is true under field conditions where it ts necessary to keep the amount of acid down to 8 ounces per acre depending on whether or not the fjeld is seeded down in order not to injure the grain another enthusiast encountered recently was n j thomas soils specialist af the oac mr thomas too has added a weed sprayer to the equipment on his farm re like mr willmott u confident that two or three years will dean up his fence ro j ew travel notes fly tca to new york 4 plights daily from toroxto 4080
