PAGEFOURTE CANADIAN STATESMAN, EOVWMANVILLE, ONTARIO THURSDAY, OCTOBER 5M. 1050 UNTY Pasture Researchi Accomplishing Much In Canada Ottawa, September 27, 1950- Down through history green pas- tures have become the symbol oi stability, peace and abundance and the goal of securîty for man- kind in every generation. This is no less true in Canada today where a blade of grais is still the basis of agriculture and thus ai human livelihood. Grass means conservation ai the soul and fu- ture welfare. Fromn a purely dollars and cents standpoint grass bas tremendous value and recent figures released by the Canada Department ai Agriculture, Ot- tawa, show that pasture and bay together are valued at 313 mil- lion dollars and comprise about 71 million acres, or mare than one-third af the total agricultural land area in Canada. Because of its great economic importance, scientists and re- search workers ai the Depant- ment of Agriculture are continu- ausly trying ta improve and pre- serve Canadian pastures. Due ta the varying soil and climatic conditions prevailing in the dii- ferent provinces, tests bave ta be canducted in many widely sep- arated areas. Co-openating with the Depant- ment's Science, Services Cbem- istry Division, pastune research bas long been a major praject ai the Experimental Farms Service at the 29 bnancb farms and sta- tions in all provinces and on many ai the 220 sub-stations and Illustration Stations from coast ta coast. Since 1932 the Division ai Illustration Stations bas been car- nying on extensive pasture irn- pravement tests unden variousi soul and climatie conditions from Prince Edward Island ta British Columbia, 418 yield record tests being made on 68 farms in 1949. Production costs of vaniaus farm crops have been given cane- ful study at Ottawa and co-op- erative tests in the Divisions ai Animal Husbandry, Chemistry, Field Husbandry and Fosage Crops have shown that the cost per acre of producing permanent pasture herbage is low campared with the cost ai praducing nu- tnients in other draps. With no cost for tillage and harvesting operatians, tests show that per- manent pasture herbage can be produced for $6:30 per ton ai dry matter. timathy hay at $7.60, al- falia hay at $6.85, alfalia silage at $850 and corn silage at $15.60 peý tan. Expeniments conducted by the Department show that while cer- tain crops may be more econam- ical ta produce than others, their ecanamy in the final analysis must be measuned by the returns they bring for the produce sold when fed ta farm animais. Corn silage, for exampie, when fed for milk production was faund ta give a lower ratio ai returns ta cast than did pastune herbage. Since grass is consumed dir- ectly by the grazing animal, with no attempt ta cure it or process it in any way, its nutritive value and ecanomny ai utilization takes on added significance.

The Ontario Faim Products Marketing Board has received a request for the approval of a proposed marketing scheme under the provisions of the Faim Produets Marketing Act, 1946, to regulate the marketing of honey sold ini Southern Ontario. A mail vote by ballot of producers of honey has been arranged so that the Board may determine whether a fairly representative .utmber of producers are ini favour of the scheme. The ballot with return envelope bas been sent to ail producers. If you are producing honey in Ontario from ten or more colonies of bees, and are over 21 years of age, you are urgently requested to mark your ballot for or against the scheme and mail it at once i the return envelope provided.
