i I 1 ft The Er November Farm Report By Al Wall Agricultural Represenlative for York County Lota of beef cattle are being started on feed in York these days Beef feeding is not our major industry but its been gaining strength lately Beef cows have been mostly replaced by market cattle and we have many good feeding systems on the go Mature corn silage is the basic feed of course Thirty to pounds a day supply most of the feed needed at low cost In most situations some grain should be fed too It is hard to be sure of what the right amount should be Average steers would be happy with to pounds per day but at this rate the cost would be far too high to make the owner happy Its impossible to come up with a most profitable level for grain feeding but most of our research points to about a half pound for each lbs of weight A lb steer for example will make lowest cost gains with full corn silage three and a half lbs of grain plus protein concentrate This rate is for the wintering or growing stage It has to double at least in the real finishing stage Paying for grain for beef cattle isnt any bar gain because beef cattle are miles behind poultry or hogs in converting grain to meat Grain is neces sary however to get the best use out of the rough age There are two things that are more like bargains in beef feeding One is the use of a systemic insec ticide Rulene or put on now will knock off both warble grubs and lice Without these pests cattle are bound to gain enough better to far more than pay the cost of or The safest time to use it is now and it does the job best now MEET YOUR

operations and hog feeder opera tions a lot of we nor pigs change hands Its not like it used to he when every hog feeder or almost every one raised most of Ins own feeders A reliable formula to calculate prices can give the feeder a guide to gauge his bids by More important many large operators have private deals specialist brood sow men supplying specialist feed ers and they need a guide to values If such formula is related to actual value it can keep the price of in step with fluctuating market prices for hogs prices would not drop as much with a falling pork market nor would rise as far and fast with strong hog market A number of farm economists have worked on the problem of designing such a formula that will work and will fair sides Several of them have succeeded hut here is one we like This formula originated in the big hog producing area of the United States mid west coin belt John Wall ace former teacher at the Western Ontario Agricultural School at Ontario introduced this particular formula Ontario hug pro ducers The basic formula looks like this price Weight x Weight Grade Constant Price Now its easy to put the weight of the and the A price into that formula The joker

November Is Time To Clean Up Garden Yellow Potatoes Perennial and annual need cleaning up now In the case of pull them up roots and all and use them for mulching or add to the home compost heap Making compost with them is the best plan Cut back the tops of perennials and biennials to within an inch or so of the soil and add these the compost box as well Its an excellent idea lo cover annual and peren nial beds with a two inch lay er of humus and then turn it under with a garden spade or shovel Leave the soil lumpy so that it will catch and hold the winter rain and snow Often a single bittersweet vine will fail to bear fruit even three or four years after planting When this happens the solution is easy find a mate Bittersweet vines have male flowers on the one female on the other Unless a mate is supplied no ber ries will form Next spring take a flowering shoot to your local nurseryman and hell teU you whether your vine needs male or female com pany Chrysanthemums survive the winter quite easily in some gardens while in others theyre not to be found when spring arrives Poor drain age Is the culprit Best way Ive found for keeping them over until spring is to dig each clump and place on top of the soil Then completely cover with earth in much the same way as you winterize roses By using this method you wont lose a plant and when you remove the earth next spring the clumps have already produced new growth just perfect tor tak ing the necessary cuttings Youre far better to start with a rooted cutting than you are with one of the old flower clumps Dont be in a hurry to put away the lawnmower As long as grass keeps growing It will need cutting The long range weather forecast calls for above normal for the month of Nov ember and this menus that the grass will keep growing longer than usual Lawns that were given a final feeding In September now look like those of spring and arc n Joy In be hold A The Eucharist or Amnion Lily is a plant of great beauty and
