SCIENCE OF FEEDING MOVING AHEAD Increased numbers of livestock and streamlined feeding methods brought about a record demand for balanced feeds in Canada last year. In Ontario especially, Feed Mills were kept busy attending to more and more varied demands being made by them by farmers. Farming is becoming more and more specialized in Canada as well as in other countries. Ontario poultrymen for instance, are concentrating more on a single operation, such as broilers or laying hens, rather than mixing the different operations. Future predictions for Agriculture in Canada indicate that while the total output from farms will increase substantially in the next decade, the number of farms is likely to decrease. The total farm labour force is likely to show a slight drop as well. The question that arises out of this trend is how are these production increases . possible in spite of fewer farms •'. and a smaller labour force. One to this question lies in the marked trend towards increasingly large farm units growth made possible through the absorption of other farms and better land utilization. Another big factor that has a bearing on this are improvements in farm machinery, farming methods and better, more efficient feeds for livestock. Scientists and technicians in Canadian Colleges, Canadian Industry and throughout the world, are constantly endeavouring to increase the efficiency in every aspect of farming operations. Farmers too are finding that they have to keep pace with these new trends in farming. Just a few years ago, most farmers were content to feed calves' milk for the first three months of their life, finds he can buy Miia for his calves which hm from two day's old foil der 2c per lb. This nel ly cheaper than^ with modern, tives, it even prevents one of the biggest troubles of feeding regular milk, scouring in calves. This is just one way in which science is working to help improve farming, while reducing products in cost. One of the largest Feed Companies in Canada works closely in partnership with local Feed Mills from coast to coast to help improve feeds and service for nearly 400 Mill Operators are manufacturing feeds to high quality specifications laid down by the Shur-Gain Division of Canada Packers Limited. Formula and ingredients are laid down in a strict quality control programme which is constantly Inspected by Shur-Gain Feed Inspectors to ensure top stand-are maintained. Another of the advantages'to the farmer the aspect of freshness of the feeds and persoaal service provided through decentralization of manufacture. Quality control in feeds starts the laboratories and at Shur-Gain's large, modern experimental farm near Maple, Ontario, teams of experts are constantly at work testing and prov-feeds and management methods. Agriculture in Canada is moving forward to keep pace with progress in other fields. With an expected increase of nearly 75% in Canada's population in the next 20 years or so, there are great opportunities for farming in the years that lie ahead. In mowing the lawn, the usual ror is to cut too closely. Use a dull mower is another. For the common lawn grasses -- blue grasses and Fescues -- the cut should not be closer than inches. Grass clippings should be left on the lawn to prevent scorching and add hu-Cutting should be stopped altogether in hot weather when growth slows down or browning appears. eni to ieeu e first three fe.
