seeding that the plan shorter with stiffer straw and that the get away earlier with a belter chance of dry weather can be scattered on ground t March or not to even try to cover it Ha the surface thaws too often burin too deep Left alone the seed itself will Work into soft mushy soil at thawing The rate of seeding should he higher than Birds will take some of it and some plants isnt killed easily by frost will come back even if most of the leaves are killed Willi a root established it will grow a second much faster than a crop just planted Lots of fertilizer is a must for Nitrogen can he nut on before or after seeding and for mem Weed CO chemicals is another absolute requirement Weeds will without the normal seed bed prepare lion and spraying must be done at the right time If a field has a grass problem its a poor risk for frost seeding Corn is a much better crop for grassy fields because the grass can be taken out So this is good week for the innovators to get started on

Fuel at Offers Studv Courses Fanners gear then reduce throttle I I I J J Farmers are advised they can save tractor fuel by reducing en gine rpm and a high er transmission gear A traders wheel spec is varied by two factors engine and gear ratio ex plains Professor P It South well Ontario Agricultural College School of Agricultural Engineering But the ef ficiency of an engine depends upon lis load It is most effi cient at full load and mark edly inefficient when only lightly load Now load on the engine of a tractor is altered if the gear ratio be tween the engine and the wheels is changed Using a higher gear puts more load on the engine To do the same job in the fame lime that is to get the same acres per hour the op erator can select a higher gear then reduce the throttle setting to give same travel speed Hie tractor This procedure not only cuts down fuel consumption he- cause engine is operating more efficiently it also usually reduces noise level Care must be taken however that the engine is not overloaded Thus Professor South well states plowing in a low gear at high engine imposes a light load on the whereas selecting a higher gear and reducing en gine rpm to give the same travel speed imposes a great er load on the engine so it operates at a higher ef ficiency The consequent re duction in fuel consumption per acre can be per cent with a gasoline engine about per cent

Iter records include as a nine on Magnolia made her rec ord under Ihe supervision Herdsman Robert Van Vohlc Its been by people much wiser me that nothing contributes more to com fort and welfare of mankind than a- tree It to me that this Centennial Year offers an excellent opportunity for the whole family to plant a tree and watch it grow over the In later life the children will any Remember when we helped mother and dad plant that tree Such is the fibre on which memories are made Modern production meant that far too many of the kind are planted each year This need not be because a through nursery catalogue will soon reveal that theres a wide choice of that are just a little bit different A typical example would be the Red Horse Chestnut In choosing an attractive shade tree for the garden you cannot afford to overlook this one Everyone knows the glorious candles of white bloom that the ordinary chestnut produces Just imagine the same tree with red dish pink flowers Its a fairly fast growing shade tree and the flowering time is May and June Unlike the common chestnut this tree does not bear nuts which disfigure garden Its height at maturity will be about feet In this area the Golden Rain is one of the best medium sized flowering trees for the home midsummer the whole tree is a cascade of golden bloom The flowers arc borne in long chains which create a breathtaking sight when they stir in the breeze Heres a lawn specimen tree that will delight both you and your neighbours It too will grow about thirty feet high when fully matured There are too few gardens that contain a dwarf Japanese Red Maple This maple can be grown either as a colorful dwarf tree or a small shrub of its slow growth it makes an excellent specimen tree or shrub for lawn planting Youll find its foliage is never dense enough to harm the lawn and the brilliant crimson colour never fails to attract attention This blood red colour makes an eyecatching contrast if set among the in the foundation planting The Japanese Maple needs full sun but will tolerate moderate shade Under the latter conditions the crimson colour is not nearly so pronounced Not every nursery carries the pyramidal English Oak but any trouble you may have in finding it will be forgotten when you sec it growing in your garden Its shape is the same as that of the Poplar but it has none of the faults Poplars mature somewhere between and years of age and then gradually die away On the other hand the Pyramidal Oak is longlived slower growing and more compact lis leaves turn brown in the fall and cling to the branch until early next Spring giving the tree a most attractive appearance through out the winter months During the summer the green foliage is a joy to behold One of the most ideal shade trees for any garden large or small is the Little Leaf Theres hardly a better tree for street planting as its able to withstand the fumes smoke and dust that pollute the city air much better than most trees Little Leaf has a dense pyra midal shape handsome heart shape foliage and eventually grows to ft in height Dont plant this tree close to public utility wires or the house For my money one of the best introduc tions in the past few years as far as orna mental shade trees are concerned is the Sun burst Locust This shade tree is fast growing but has few if any faults Being a hardwood the limbs are not easily broken down in wind and ice storms The tips of the branches are a bright golden yellow shading In bronze at the ends and they appear as if you had taken a paint brush and covered each tip with gold paint While it is a very fast grower it will not grow out of bounds ami the eventual height at majority is anywhere from So to 10 feet It makes an excellent lawn specimen shade tree because diameter of the trunk is very small Now is the time to make your choice of trees so that youll lie ready to plant them the first day that soil becomes workable in your garden
