do we do or do not do this fall has quite an hnport ant bearing on our crop and live stock production next year and the seeding we plan for next spring will largely decide the adequacy ofour hay and picture supplies for the next threcor four years Since food cosls amount to ram 50 to 35 per cent of the try tat cost of producing milk and most other livestock products and since the availability of ado quate and good quality hay posv ture and often silage is the major factor in keeping feed costs down to reasonable level we can scarcon ay too much atten tion mpiann up these crops and insuring fertility levelvin our soils that will give us it Hand chance of obtaining both yield and quality Tor nnnssmc Before discussing plans for sex years seeding however we should pay more attention to our present hay and pasture fields which are the fields we will be depending cnnext year Top dressing with mineral fertilizers in the fall months is recent development that seems to be givrng good results wherever this treatment is needed If soil test is availabiethls of course is the best guide for ertlllzer treatment butif not avnl able few general suggestions can be given For the lighter type soils with 50 per cent or more clover in the hay or pasture mixture top dressing with at least zoo lbs of 02040 fertilizer per acre would be good treatment and for the heavier soils the same amount of Milll would likely be about right An even better treatment would be top dressing with to Haas of manure per acre with from zoo to 300 lbs of SuperPhos phate added two TREATMENTS With hay or pastures that are about 75 per cent grasstho treat manta are recommended For early fall application 52040 mixture at 200 lbsper anterior light lapd orb20 for heavier soils would be suitable or the minerals only could be applied with an application of 3010 100 lbs of Ammonium Nitrate ap riy in the spring For hay and pastures that have little old ver 200 to cw lbsper acre of rem10 mixture aplplied in the early spring is usua 1y suitable treatment When it comes to planning for next years seedingof hay and pastures the preparation of the land this fall is the big 50h possible partial summer al low starting in August or early September alter the crop is re moved is often desirable and if the laudls locking in drainage some effort should be made to see that shallow surface ditches with good outlet are arranged so that surplus water will drain off readily in the spring and the field could be seeded in good time It the field does not need cleanup lob early after harvest tillage is still recommended with the suggestion that oats or bar lay be sown for fall growth to maintain the fertility and build organic matter This practice is often desirable whereerosxon is problem TAKE SAMPLE Regardless of the method of fifth aring the field for next years beading soil sample should be taken as soon as possible so as to be sure to have thelbest avail able fertility recommendations on hand in good time Soil boxes and field report forms are avail able at your nearest agricultural office and the soil testing service is free except for the cost of sending the samples to the Soil Testing Laboratory at the GAO Guelph in planning our hayand pas lure for next spring we should alrays keep in mind the need in goo balance of both is gumes an grasses Ill themix ture and it has become increas ingly important in recent years that these mixtures shoUld be es pecially selected to fit the par ticular soil and drainage condi tions of the field to be seeded and to come as close as We can to meet our need for hay and pasr ture throughout each season for the next few years Alfalfa combined with suitable grasses such as Emma and Clim ax Timothy is still considered our most productive hay mixture where Alfalfa does well Vernal is probably our most dependable Alfalfa variety for general seed ing but the new DuPults has pro van to be higher yielding on sult ahle locations Lincoln Emma is also worth trying out as compar ed with Common Drome FDRIABIURES For pastures the Alfalfagraslv mixturels also highly productive The main snag with Alrnlfn pns tures in that it sometimes causes Bloat There is reason to believe that high Phosphate levels in the Alfalfa fields tch to reduce this hazard but Blast is problem on quite in few farms in recent years relatively new clover Blrdsfoot Trefoll has become increasingly popular for both hay and pasturabut par ticularly as pasture crop Birdsfoot Trefoll is usual com blood with ClimaxTimnt but is also being tested in combiner tion with few of the other grass as particularly Erome Trefoil is much more adaptable to wider range of soil conditions than is Al falfa and has the additional ad vantage that it has never been known to cause Bloat It also promises to be our best source of midsummer pasture at time when many of our other types of pasture tend to stop growing Tre foll particularly the Empire va riety is later clover than most and can be allowed to ripen ln midsummer and still produce ex cellent pasture INOCULAIION The main problem with Trefoil for hay or pasture is that it is sometimes difficult to get estab lished but it isancouraglnz to new that in recent years most of the Trefoll seedings have been quite successful as we learn more of how to handiaihis new clover It seems qulto important to have clean ilcld well prepared the previous fall and ready tor seed ing at the proper time the nextl spring Inoculation with the spe cial Birdsfoot Trefoil inoculant is also major factor in establish ing this new clover liberal fertilizer treatment when seeding is also advisable While Trafoil has been used mostly on problem soil areas we arenow ready to recommend that field or two of Trefoil for pasture would be highly desir Vableieven on good alfalfa land to provide for extra midsummer pasture which is usually the time of the year when it is most difficult to maintain production cannon cavities Bonus loos
