bradshaw garden editor on a snowy cold day last week a bit of spring arrived well ahead of schedule in the form of a nursery catalog after dinner i sat down in an easy chair in front of a roaring fire opened the catalog and immediately moved forward into spring checking through the various catalogs as they arrive and making notes of some of the new and better plants youd like to try is fun whether or not theyre eventually ordered and planted one of the first items that caught my attention was a new coreopsis called baby gold this hardy perennial fits the modern trend to dwarfer plants of all kinds compact and bushy little plants are covered with masses of pure goldenyellow blooms from early in june to some time in october the gold color of the flowers complements the other perennials and adds to their beauty this year theres also a superb new strain of french pussy willow its catkins are much bigger than any other variety on the market its hardy all over southern ontario and is wonderful for forcing the purple leaf filbert is worth planting for the rich display of bronzepurple foliage it produces each year and for its tasty nuts here we have a many branches shrub that is covered with richly colored leaves from top to bot tom providing a pleasant contrast to the greens of the other shrubs and evergreens the foliage is produced so abundantly that liberal amounts can be cut for out-of-the- ordlnary flower arrangements the european mountain ash is now available in two new forms which develop goldenyellow and pink berries rather than those colored the normal orangescarlet lam- barts golden wonder is a new type of hybrid mountain ash from holland the tree is a vigorous grower with large leaves and branches colored a striking red berries are a glorious golden yellow in color and come in clusters which cover all parts of the trees lambarts golden wonder has all the characteristics of the regular mountain ash except for the unusual gold color of the berries height at matur ity will vary anywhere from 20 to 30 feet depending on the soil conditions rose elegance is a new pink berried form of the normal mountain ash this is a budded strain whose berries are a rich pink in color with silvery overtones a well grown specimen will not only add new elegance to the garden but will be a talking point for years to come for areas surrounding toronto theres a new much hardier strain of english ivy called wilson available this spring for the first time whenever i visit england or go a little further south in the united states i always admire the regular english ivy with its attractive glossy green foliage unfortunately its not quite hardy enough for this area wilson is a much hardier kind that makes a wonder ful ground cover even in shady places and will climb any wall bells of holland is a new dwarf canterbury bell which grows 1 to 1 feet tall theres a fine mixture of colors in cluding rose red white and blue flowering time is quite a bit earlier than the normal tallgrowing canterbury bells farm unity overdue farm organization unity is inevitable says the pre sident of the ontario fed eration of agriculture and its overdue the only question is when charles munro of em- bro made the comments in a talk scheduled for presentation on the cbc noon farm broadcast mr munro said there is no doubt in my mind that we will soon have one strong voice speaking for the majority of farmers in ontario but he says that voice wont be either the fed eration of the ontario farmers union i think responsible people on both sides agree on that a a wall agricultural rep for york county last year sure didnt help our campaign for more corn and barley in york county rain hit barley harder than other grains and fields of grain corn that still have to be harvested in this weather doesnt help the cause any either the easiest thing would be to do a quick reverse and get back to oats mix ed grain some buckwheat and even a little millet these safe crops are a good way to keep out of trouble too bad though recorded in advance mr munros remarks were scheduled to co-in- cide with the ofu conven tion at chatham recalling the ofa con vention two weeks earlier in toronto he said the federation came out strongly in support of unity i hope the conven tion of the farmers un ion will do the same he called for individu als to put aside their per sonal interests and work together the roadblock at the moment seems to be kings at various levels who are more anxious to defend their kingdoms than to serve the farmers of the province this obstacle is not in surmountable unity may be delayed but cannot now be prevented mr munro says as soon as the union decides on unity federation repre sentatives want to sit down in a joint meeting on unity we want to get down to the business of build ing strong representation for ontario farmers we have been divided too long see them all 22nd canada farm industrial equipment show coliseum buildings

they just dont yield en ough for farms in york county in 1968 our yield competitions last year tells the story tlii highest yielding oats tat 107 bus per acre ranked twelfth in terms of feed produced per ac re nine of the higher yielding fields were clear barley and two were mix ed grain in corn the average yield from all entries in our competition was 126 bushels per acre it isnt fair of course to com pare this to the usual ce real grains because gro wing costs are so much higher but with high value being so vital to make a profit these days any crop that puts up this amount of feed just has fo be in the picture at the average yield for our competition an acre of corn will finish nearly twelve hogs or make the grain ration for two dairy cows for a whole year this is good enough to justify taking the risk of miserable har vesting weather or stor ing the crop in a silo as high moisture corn can remove a great deal of this risk our top yield for corn at 157 bushels was our highest ever carmen boadway of mount albert got it and there were many others close to that mark including shur- gain farms murray cup- pies don head farms jim darlington james rae jack crittenden ken stevenson

sport can provide good healthy fun but some cau tion must be taken says oscar m snyder farm safety consultant farm safety council of ontario like any other mechan ical device the snowmo bile can
