the tribune thursday oct 3 1968 page 9 jl bunker silo built at ringwood a a wall agricultural representative for york county newmarket corn silage is rolling this week and its just a won derful crop yield is good and more important with no frost the grain has fill ed well and has matured nicely for silage this is the stuff that makes cows milk and beef cattle put on the pounds and outside of pasture its the lowest cost feed there is there is renewed in terest in pits or bunker silos for storage they can lower storage costs and al low switch to a silage feed ing programme without mortgaging the farm to build tower silos many pits of course have been tried that ended up miserably from this experience however we have learned how to avoid the problems the key points are a well drained site concrete floor well sloped sides good packing and a plastic cover put on just as soon as the silage is all in self feeding used to go with this kind of storage but too often it created more problems that it solv ed a tractor and loader will take the silage out quicker and easier the ultimate in bunker silos has just been built in york county the stans- burys at dadson farms ringwood have a new one that is 156 feet long 80 feet wide and about 10 feet high its the biggest ive heard of it will hold between 3500 and 4500 tons of silage depending on how high it is heaped in the middle

spring but for years to come planting the springflowering bulbs is an excel lent way of getting the children interested in gar dening even a five- or sixyearold can easily plant any of them at the same time you have a fine op portunity to tell the children about the miracle of seed time and harvest point out that if this were to fail just one year the world would not be able to survive early next year the children can watch for the first leaf to come bursting through the still frozen soil a sure sign that spring is on its way and that once again nature has not failed us at our place we
