10 -- PORT PERRY ST » RL) PIAS WT XX : wy way Oht {) (STEN AN § ESUTHREAS FW Fae SRS AR -- Thursday, Sept. 9, 1976 § Yate 2 LA AB L SCRE OL y A LXLOES v, lS -rN Vaaaaaaaa ve v The Farm Scene FALL MANAGEMENT OF FORAGES Our Crop Specialists recommend that perennial forage crops should not be harvested or grazed during a six week period in the fall (three weeks before and three weeks after the critical harvest date). During the first three weeks of this rest period, the food reserves in the roots are being used to develop the crown buds. From these buds originates the next year's growth, By the critical harvest date, the bud development is complete and the root reserves are at their lowest level. During the final three weeks of the rest period, the food reserves in the roots are built up for winter survival. The critical fall harvest date for forage crops in this area varies from September 10th in the north, to September 20th in the South. This means that legume crops should not be cut or grazed for three weeks before or after these dates. Where fall fertilization is required, fertilizer, partic- ularly potash, should be applied in late August or early September. Further information on this topic is available from your local Ministry of Agriculture and Food office.

If your require additional information, or a ride for your boy, please contact one of the above named gentlemen. The . meeting commences at 6:45. As the girls at Union Car- bide in Lindsay read our paper, I would like to say "Hi" to them, especially the gals in Arc, Seal and Shear- ing. Keep reading our paper girls, it is nice to know you are interested in it. * On behalf of the commun- ity may I extend a warm welcome to comparative newcomers to our area. Mr. and Mrs. G. Biggs recently purchased their home in Caesarea...next to Gordie and Shirley Gettins. We trust that Marion and George enjoy living among us as much as they enjoyed their previous home in Brooklin. The Labour Day weekend certainly seems to be the time to officially close the summer season. Many func- tions in the area over the weekend have proved that so. On Friday evening, Betty Ringham of Caesarea enter- tained her bridge club, in her usual amiable manner. On Saturday evening, - Dorothy and Jack Maurice (cottagers of Caesarea) hos- ted numerous friends to a combined euchre and fare- well to summer party. On the same evening, the Howard Mahaffeys, also of Caesarea, entertained several friends. As a part of the evening's pleasantries, films of Florida were shown. Many slides of Panama City .. were enjoyed, also, as many- area residents plan on spend- ing winter months there. The majority of us are - familiar with the children's - beloved 'Wally' the clown who participated in all of our parades, etc. We now have two little clowns assisting Wally, in the persons of Gordie Cooledge Jr. and Robbie Smith. I have been informed by their trainer that the boys do a superb chore, to the delight of the smaller children. On Satur- day evening, the Rowan"s Beach Association held their annual corn and weiner roast and all three clowns were present. Numerous summer and regular. people were in attendance and participated in games, etc. Prizes were kindly donated for this event from the majority of the merchants in Port Perry and those in Caesarea, for which the Association is deeply grateful as this is a non- profit organization. One young lady that merits a special thank you is Mrs. Sue Fowler, for if not for her there would not have been prizes, or rather very few, as no one had picked them up in Port Perry, and Sue offered to do so. The Rowan Beach Association members are proof of what an interested group of people are capable of to make summer much more pleasant for children in the area. Just a thought... Nature equipped us with every commodity to face life...even tears. For Photograph REPRINTS from the Port Perry Star Phone 985.7383
