Despite 'the bad weather, a crowd of ap- proximately 460 interested people were on hand to view the proceed- ings. The headquarters was in the viginity of the barn. Vince Beaton, President of the Ontario County Crop Improvement Association, was chairman. He welcomed those attending the Field Day, and stated that Mr. Down had been an excellent co-operator in carrying out this project over the past two years.

Crop Improvement Association and Chairman of the Committee for the Conservation Day in 1949; Ferguson Munro, Warden of Ont. County; Heber Down; owner of the farm, and Lynn Fair, Agricul- tural Rep. . Col., the Honourable T. L. Ken- nedy, officially opened the Field Day. He stated that in every com- munity there are leaders and fol- lowers, and that the Ontario Co. Crop Improvement Association and Mr. Heber Down should be commended for their efforts in carrying out this long term pro- ject as a means of demonstrating to the public, good soil and crop- ping practices. © He stated that "there is an increasing interest de- veloping in "swamps and farm ponds, as a further means of con- servation. He referred briefly to the Conservation practices being carried out in the United States, and commended the people of On- Iplace at and the Ontario Department of. } Rl tario for becoming increasingly conscious of good soil and crop management.

McRostie, Head of the Field yn Department, 0.A.C,, discussed the need for suiting the crops to the types of soil on the farm. He discussed individua)l grasses and legumes, their advantages and disadvant- ages, and the types of root sys- tems which many of them had. He stressed the importance of adapt- ing a crop to a specific_goil type, and stressed the need for proxim- ity of markets for various cash crops,--otherwise the expense of shipping these crops lowers the profits to the producer. Professor George E. the Animal Husbandry Depart- ment, O.A.C., spoké on - pasture management & grass silage prob- lems. He said that the main dif- ficulty in any pasture programme was to maintain a steady supply of green feed during the hot sum- mer months and early fall. He expressed the belief that too much .Jtwo displays set up by the Depart- Rauithby of! emphasis had been placed on can) From ly, luxuriant pasture, rather tham one which maintains a good. sup- ply of green material throughout the summer months. Professor Raithby discussed the value of grass silage, the use of preserva- tives; and the amount of curing that f#rass should have prior to ensiling. He said that pasture clippings should be ensiled im- mediately, while regular hay crops should he allowed to wilt, and en- siled when they have a moisture content of 65 to 70%, especially if they are high in legumes. The County Weed Sprayer was on display at the main headquart- ers. Ken Fallis, of the Crops, Seeds and Weeds Branch, Toronto and Ryerson Beare, County Weed Inspector, spoke briefly on the Weed Spraying programme on a Provincial and County Basis.
