farri ers must place more emphasis on good animals and good crops than ever before declared dr h l patterson director of the farm economics branch of the ontario department of agricul ture in an address at a lunch eon meeting of the rotary club of oshawa the officers and di rectors of the south ontario agricultural society were the guests of the club at the meet ing speaking on the subject of the changes in agriculture bro ught about by the provinces great industrial expansion dr patterson stated that the situa tion confronting agriculture to day is not entirely of its own making many of the problems facing the industry are due to industry and industrial expan sion one of the factors which has contributed to the present situ ation is a geographic one the province fronts on the great lakes where are located the canadian as well as the united states largest steel mills an other factor is the cheap hydro power available in ontario as well as the high wages paid in industry industry has he commented bad its effect on agriculture by forcing up the cost of farm la bor the result has been that thousands of persons who for merly worked on farms are seeking employment in indus try at the same time the wages of farm labor has had to be increased shifted to cash another problem confront ing the farmer is the change fromthe horse to the tractor on the farm in 111 there were an estimated 35000 tractors on ontario farms while today there are over 105000 this had bro ught changes in farm financing today too hydro must be paid for in cash while taxes are also higher this has meant that the whole basis of farm operation has shifted to cash dr patterson stressed that to days farmer carrot find a so lution to his problems by stop ping buying and sitting tight as the canadian economy is more tightly km together than ever before bis population increase in carda we are changing over from a country that had a surplus of agricultural products o one that is largely selfsuffi cient declared dr pattens n he pointed on that the popula tion of the dominion is increas ing at the rate of 1100 per day largely due to an increased birth rate in this regard there has beenan increase of 26 per cent since the war and immi gration from other countries is now a considerable factor in the increase wheat is today canadas only surplus product the dominion has a surplus of hard winter wheat but the world demand is such for this commodity that there will be little surplus soon last year there was a sur plus over consumption of 39 percentof other farm products this year the drought will re duce the margin of surplus in some products the increase in population wtli mean that in the future canada will have to produce more beef and pork products than at any time in her history if she is to meet the demann of her own people the dairy industry will also be confronted with the problem of rising costs and its inability to mechanize he stated parlours mr denby is survived by his widow and four daugh ters mrs douglas watt mrs keith hood of newmarket mrs lloyd tennyson victoria square and donna at home ensile or crib yes what are you going to do with your corn this fall too many fields have too many barren stalks to give satisfac tory grain yields and some of the cobs are going to be not too well filled on many others while attending the national farm mechanization exposi tion at michigan state univer sity we took the opportunity to compare corn conditions with lowans they would con sider the corn- crop in this ar ea a drought crop a drought crop to them is oho yielding less than 50 bushels to the acre and they recommenced ensu ing the corn to us that made cdmmon sense a silo full of corn sil age is convenient and will take the place of the second cutting of hay that did vqi materialize some farmers immediately say weve gat no silo temporary silos there are- several good ans wers for these chaps tempor ary silos can be built very quickly and economicaliv they can be made upright or hori zontal the upright will per haps be more satisfactory us ing snowfence and tarnaper bat the horizontal seems to be gaining ground you see quite a fan around and most of the chaps weve asked sem to think they are ok one farmer built one last year and filled it with corn husks he thought it was chea per to construct simple to nil used a manure oadr and found that spoilage while high er than a tower due to more surface was not so great as he exprctei it would ba ising the gangway fur one wall and posts and plarks for te oher he can salvage all the materia if he does not wish to uo it in future years these abave ground trench silos seem to he the m c logi cal answer for emergency use using harrys tdeaof th gang way or a barn wall for one side or even buvig both skies i location is cot satisfar ry it is a very ercromieal way to handle an emergency crop it could be tdsible to cerent section of toe barnyard and build the silo there and make it selffeeding still using a tem porary plarik construction wiclcv at top one thing the authorities say to do if you decide to use this type of storage is make the top of the silo two to four feet wider than the bottom and not less than 0 ft to s ft deep when you fill the silo they say pack the silage well with a tractor level rather than ridging try not to have the silage too dry plenty of mois ture so it will pack well how does corn silage com pare with grain corn for feed thf stouffvts tribune thursday septemb 8 t953 f9 i evangelistic campaign rev fred r swallow preacher

corn silage will give grea ter gains per acre than ear corn 595 lbs for corn silage 504 lbs for cob corn with poorly cobbed corn the gains per acre will hoi ha nearly so igh per acre but the relative gains between the two would much different so perhaps you would be wise investigate what your corn will yield when picked and compare it with what you can make out of it as silage in tem porary silos
