Aurora News Continued from Page jobs he did when other citizen were in bed end asleep or at least the decent majority of from the grave Of course the Aurora Banner account was paid- The planning board did some advertising with the Banner at the cost of the taxpayers of Aurora- Council voted the planning board last year and part of this was spent on advertising in the Ban ner Were not grousing Were only thinking that when Jim Goulding went out and sanded and gravelled the icy streets and sidewalks he was doing a more useful job for the citizens of Au rora in hoars than the plan ning board has done in six years Wed better make it clear that Mr Goulding has not complain ed to us either in a whisper by a nod of the head or a telephone call The suspicions of some people are bo strong that unless we made that clear theyd prob ably suggest the town foreman and we had been conniving to gether The one and only con versation weve ever had with him concerned a dead tree on Spruce street and never on the which now looks like prov ing a dead duck Stiff Council minutes read Jones- Davidson That the bylaw now before council be read a second time and that council dissolve It self into a committee of the whole for that purpose As we pointed out on several occasions two and three years ago it la not possible for the council to dissolve itself into a committee of the whole Former council lors J Gundy and Mrs Keld- did start out to resolve council Into a committee of the whole Since their departure from the seats of government council has fallen into the old rut of terminological inexacti tude To dissolve is to disintegrate to break up to pass slowly away to melt You dissolve an aspirin or a powder or even a bit of council soft- soap But we are unaware of any process that could success fully dissolve Councillors David son and Jones and still leave them whole And we dont want to see it happen to them IT In connection with floodlight ing the Aurora Banner was in error last week when it stated that it was to he used for bas ketball and other activities Basketball played we are in formed at the high school gym nasium Unless the Banner has dissolved baseball It will be played in the town park I X- 1 T wont J IKY ME Continued from Page ID sum of money to the flood relief fund Mr Murray did not ques tion councils wisdom in donat ing a sum of money to the flood relief fund What he did do was to ask the mayor for legal guid ance on the matter a very dif ferent thing The implied charge of inhumanity made by the Ban ner woman writer ft gainst Mr Murray appears to us a very ser ious one that could cause his re putation grave injury It seems to us that because of the strong line Councillor Murray has taken on urgent public ques tions in Aurora in which he has spoken his mind freely the Ban ner takes every opportunity it can to try and belittle him It has misrepresented him frequent ly as we pointed out last week In its report of council last week it made no reference whatever to his successful efforts for flood lights Nor did it report one word of what Councillor Moffat said on the same subject Aurora sportsmen owe much to Mrs Moffat and Mr Murray in getting a grant and for their successful work on the floodlights project By CLUB A fine attendance of members of the Aurora Rotary club was present on Monday night Mar at the to hear

the specific values of leg umes are not always fully recog nized In a recent address before the American Dairy Science Asser tion Ralph Hodgson assistant chief of the Bureau of Dairy In dustry stressed the importance of legumes in dairy pastures and grown in association with the legumes as well as the total yield of protein per acre so that it should much more adequately provide the total protein needs of grazing animals Also the presence of legumes in the stand increases the nitro gen content of the soil In a comparison of alfalfa and timo thy fields the soil under alfalfa contained an average of nearly v en average why the dairyman should go all five times as much nitrogen as the way in the use of legumes in new pasture and in renovating old grass pastures It is estimated that the aver age yield of presentday pas tures has been no more and probably less than the average hay crop which is below tons per acre or about 1500 pounds of total digestible nutrients la a fiveyear pasture renova tion experiment a portion of an old pas ture was left unrenovated as a check and the remainder given renovation treatment by disking the old sod In the fall and spring and springseeding eight pounds alfalfa three pounds red clover and one pound clover per acre Both renovated and check portions received tons manure pounds fer tilizer and one ton of limestone at time of renovation The average percentage of leg umes in the unrenovatd check for the four years following ren ovation was 13 percent and for the renovated sods percent The average TDN yields of the sod for the four years was 2750 pounds per acre and of the renovated sod was over pounds or nearly three times the estimated TDN obtain ed from the average pasture When clover was grown with both and tall fescue it produced yields of dry matter and protein in excess of the amounts obtain ed from pure stands of these grasses to which had been add ed pounds of commercial nitrogen per acre The average increase of pro tein with clover was percent more than with the com- nitrogen Nitrogen pro duced by legumes also has the advantage of being available over a longer period of time The inclusion of legumes in the pasture mixture not only in creased the protein content of the mixed forage but also the Protein content of the gross Addresses Meeting Of ParentTeacher Association St Joins Mrs J addressed the ParentTeacher association under the timothy Legumes in the pasture mix ture are helpful in maintaining a higher yield of forages and a higher protein calcium and phosphorus content in the for ages throughout the
