Moisture content is still high hut those with dryers were able to get started There is lots of argument about whether dryers pay or not but certainly for big acreages in a year like this getting combines start ed early and keeping them going steadily is worth a lot A lot of wheat is lodged this year There is quite a noticeable difference in straw strength between and is shorter and on many problems with the assign- farms is still standing where Genessee has gone ments or wants to discuss re- down Its a good idea now to take soil samples for wheat going in this fall The results will be back in time and a test without any doubt makes ferti lizer dollars work letter Sample boxes can obtained at our office In planning the fall crop rye shouldnt over- looked It will do letter than wheat on very dry sandy soils is close to wheat in feed value and is quite reliable The Sunrise Tour has been postponed at least until the fall Some of our demonstrations didnt work out this year with o much rain and the work program on farms would likely prevent many from going on a tour Corn Day will go ahead this fall It will be on the Farm near Milton early in October Sutton Fair is on this week Its a very special one this year running the full week as a Centen nial feature Sutton regularly almost tops the Prov ince in attendance for Class fairs so it should be well in front this year It has

grasses for me home garden and for landscaping generally The new true perennial ryegrass has proved to be hardy in tem peratures as low as de grees below zero and has sur vived for seven years as far north as Minneapolis without winter damage It promises to be an ideal species to give a quick lawn At the same time it has true perennial sur vival in a dark green grass that closely resembles The new Kentucky will be on the mar ket in Canada next year Its a dwarf grass that can be mowed as closely as a golf green and looks like a top- quality grass to blend for closemown turf Available in Canada

Its a fact that reel and pow er mowers are often filed with grass catchers to help remove clippings but this means have neglected a regu- monthly feeding program because of this you could be in serious trouble especially if the happens to turn hot and dry in August Id recommend that you give Alfalfa doesnt send food to Ha roots until its shoots have enough food for their use If the leaves are grazed or har vested In the fall before food has been sent to the crown buds and roots the crown buds wont have enough energy to shoot through the earth next spring Give the field a complete rest In late summer and early fall In Central On tario let your pasture take a vacation from September to October 10 During this period use an older field that is designated to be plowed as pasture If this older field Is given a chance to grow during August it may supply much Of the roughage required by the herd in September In some cases it may be neces sary to supplement this with silage while the

which also ran be a highly useful tool for picking up fal len leaves and sweeping pav ed driveways Its use Is the first step in good manage ment for clean healthy turf Compared with raxing the removal

You can be sure that white grubs are the cause of the trouble If you find your lawn filled With holes made by skunks or moles who regard the grubs as their own par ticular brand of caviar A white grub

he left on the lawn after a normal mowing However now that lawns are being giv en much better feeding and watering its probably not nearly as necessary More and more home owners have also been allowing clippings to remain as a result of introduction of rotary mow ers Its significant that dur ing this period weve become more and more aware of turf diseases Weve discovered that these diseases often de velop in the fluff or thatch of dead clippings on the sur face of the lawn It seems to me that the good lawn man agement now calls for the regular removal of clip pings Were seeing more lawns
