main kinds are a simple will and a trust will a simple will is an out right distribution of a per sons estate at his death that is a farmer leaves his farm directly to his wife this could have the effect of levying taxes twice on what is actually the same estate a trust will is designed to provide an adequate in come for the deceased farmers wife during her lifetime and distribute the estate after her death while a trust will mini mizes taxes it can have a serious effect on efficient operation of the farm bus iness it might for instance restrict capital expansion unless special arrange

clever comeback you think of next morning the canadian dairy commission warned about 100000 small farmers to expand their operations or get out of the business of producing milk and cream for manufacture into but ter powder and other pro ducts announcing details of the federal subsidy prog ram for the current dairy year the commission said that it proposes next year to cut off the subsidy to any farmer producing less than 50000 pounds of milk or 1750 pounds of butterfat as the average produc tion of a cow is about 6000 pounds of milk a year this would eliminate most far mers with a herd of eight or fewer cows a member of the com mission said it is estimated that there are 80000 cream shippers and 20000 milk producers in this cat- total and mostly in the maritimes and the prairies the commissions man date is to encourage effic ient production said a spokesman we want to gel these people into an ef ficient bracket the small farmers will have this year to expand their operations or to sell out if by next year they are still in the business but not producing 50000 lbs they will lose the subsidy egory 45 per cent of the of 121 per 100 pounds of milk but they would still be able to sell their milk and cream at the market rate the farmers complain however that even with the subsidy their opera tions are not profitable the loss of the subsidy would mean a loss of about 500 in cash income for a farmer with six cows but many of the 100000 farmers run small herds as a sideline to their main op- vics nursery ltd ianiscapk design stonework maintenance kr2

johx bradshaw whether to seed or sod a new lawn is the question which puzzles every new home owner the cost of pre paring and levelling the soil is the same for seeding or sodding the two deciding factors will probably be the extra cost of the sod balanced against the immediate lawn you receive when using sod nursery sod has only been generally available for the past 10 years bclorc that its use was limited to a quick ground cover or a temporary lawn this was because the sod came from old pastures whose grasses are never satisfactory for lawn purposes in the beginning and by trie time the sod was laid lor a lawn it was invariably lull of weeds of the worst kind nursery sod is available to anvone living in this area composed of the host of grass mixtures such sod consists mainly of kentucky or merion blucgrass and you can use such sod with complete confidence in choosing a seed mixture theres no doubt that one containing morion kentucky hluegtass is the best to use it was found srovviri on l- l f course at merion pennsylvania just prior to world war ii the reason a grcenkccpcr noticed it was because it was still glowing vigorously and was a dark green in color during july when kentucky blucgrass goes dor mant since the end ol world war ii motion blucgrass has become the number one lawn grass in southern ontario merion blucgrass is bolter planted in a mixture than grown as a pure stand if a mixture is used disease is not likely to spread from plant to plant where some infection docs occur only part of the turf of a mixed lawn will be killed out leaving other varieties still able to keep out the weeds as far as wc know at the moment an outstanding mixture for this part of ontario should include 40 to 45 per cent motion with smaller percentages of kentucky and other blucgrasscs i also believe that the addition of small amounts of redtop will give quicker greening right after sowing if you do a little figuring with a pencil youll dis cover that its actually cheaper to use a more expensive top quality mixture such as weve suggested above rather than one or the socalled bargain mixtures although the price per lb of a quality mixture is a fair bit more expensive yon only need to apply 2 to 3 lbs per 1000 sq ft of lawn area as against 5 lbs of the cheaper mixture thus the cost of seeding the lawn is actually less using quality grass seed than the the bar gain kind all soils for sodding or seeding ate prepared in the same way by working into the lop six or seven inches of earth a quantity of humus and fertilizer the host forms of humus lor this purpose are organic compost cattle manure materials processed from sewage or peat moss these arc applied at the rate of one bushel of hums for every ten square feet of lawn area at the same time as you apply the humus scatter a complete lawn fertilizer over the earlh at the rate of 4 pounds per 100 sq it of lawn area thoroughly work the humus and the fertilizer into the top six or seven inches of soil for a very small lot this can be done by band or with a shovel but for larger ones it pays lo use rotary tillage equipment which is usually available for renting this will leave the lawn with the soil in a i lourlike j condition then it wil need raking three or four times coupled with a final rolling to achieve a fine level seed bed the lawn should slope gently away from the house towards the edges of the properly a fertilizer spreader or a cyclone seeder is the best way of making sure that the seed is sown evenly divide the seed in half and sow one part one way and ihe other at right angles lo ii after the seed is sown rake the soil lighllv using the lips of the teeth of the rake so that ihe seed is covered with no more than an eighth of an inch of soil whatever you do dont let the soil dry out during this period or much of the grass seed will not germinate use the gentlest spray possible when watering the lawn at this time leading computer man ufacturers in the
