NEVER YOUNG FDR SHOW RING Ensildge And Grain Corn Field Test of Varieties Coopcrators Douglas Ferris Ferris Lane Barrie Silage on lyt Lecil Frankcom lilidhurst Silage and Graini Albert Itnd erson Orillia RR tSiloge and Grainl The first two tests werc ar ranged in cooperation with the Field Husbandry Department 0AC and the third was assist ed by Murphy Dundalk representing the Warwick Seed Company These Field Row Tests consist of seeding two or three fieldrows each of ten selected llyhrid Corn varieties either for ensilage or grain or both In the case at our first two tests on the farm of Douglas Ferris and Cecil Frank com one full row of each var icty under test was harvested by combine harvester the yield carefully measured and weight per acre calculated While most ol the some varieties were used in the first two tests there was no uniformity in resulu so we cannot count too heavily on these results as guide to corn varie ties for North Simcoe However the tests doshow what

relatively short season Due to the cool unfavourable weather for over half of the corn growing season 1958 was not good year for the cord crop Grain corn was definitely out of the picture this year Dr

However in 1959 due to predicted per cent increase in the pricevot larm im plements 10 per cent rpduelt tion in volume of Iann imple ment sales is predicted In order to look at 1339 pro perly we

plows is result of several years work by two or three manufacturers This development wasnecessary because the hydraulic system at the tractor can no longer pro tect the plow at modern plow ing speeds The development of precis ion plnnter few years ago has not yet had its full impact on Ontario agriculture However in the sugar beet industry th planters combined with mechan ical thinning inthcrow have drastically reduced the cent of productior of sugar heels It seems reasonable to predict that these precision planters will become more popular and aid other fanneuin reducing their costs There have been many new developments in boy and forage handling equipmentln the past year These are only beginn ing because the farmer is de manding better more efficient easiertooperote equipment to handle hay and forage crops Hay conditioners were first dovetapel in the moo but until recently have not hear manu factured in any quantity Now we have at least ten companies manufacturing them The usual CSSTDI these machinev torques tioued by many but research has proven that it good drying was ther prevails they are instru ments in reducing the field cur ing umebyzns much as no to to per cent This redum the chance of the hay getting wet in the field and therefore increases the nut the boy as well as its pain More new era were intro ducel inst year than any other machine The trend

machines with the conventional ckva for thefarmer with go acreage The combine seems t3 have satisfied the fanners demands for an efficient first economical way to harvest small grain The 1053 models were designed to fill the gap between the large Wes tern type selfpropelled machin es and the smaller pullbehind machines usually sold in Qatar io The Ontario Tanner can now purchase selfpropelled eom hinc that is especially designed for his fields and acreages Corn growers have choice of which method they will use to harvest their crop Pickershah lcrs have been available for some time now In 1958 two manu facturers decided to market shel lers which can be used in con junction with pickerbu ske rs However the development to witch is the combine and the new corn header attachments With those attachments the combine can be adapted satisfactorily to harvest corn Th 1550 model tractors offerv ed more power than their pro decessors in addition to power steering softer seats and other features
