i r By Wafl fa York Comity Another week hasnt improved the hay situation at all While a lot was baled last week there is practically none that isnt badly bleached at best or very musty and mouldy at worst The outlook for roughage feeding this winter is grim The few who had silo storage avail able and equipment to put hay into silos are in a little better shape However more than normal spoil age has been taking place in silos too Many have considered chopping hay into a stack or pile This isnt a worthwhile solution in my opin ion Losses both on the surface and interior will be just about as high as in bales This years experience with hay puts emphasis on the risk factor in harvesting by baler The risk is more of a worry now than it used to be because of the move to more specialized dairy farms With ly hay basic to the whole farm income a harvesting system that is less dependant and dry weather and sunshine is worth a lot of thought Havlage of course is the one that is most obvious at present It isnt foolproof by any means but it more reliable to a degree at least The only other alternative is to switch at least some of the hay acreage to a crop that stores more easily Corn silage or even oat silage are examples There is no way to handle the livestock business other than to specialize in one line But a year like this puts a big question mark on the idea of spec ializing in one crop as well Jin vice president of Newmarket Branch of United Cooperatives of Ontario toasts the success of the Coop Family Night at with Norman Kay secretary and Bob Mac- branch manager with glasses

grain growers TORONTO Clean and commended insecticides even if very few insects are pre sent Properly treated bins will mean that less grain will be destroyed When treating the bin be sure you are using the cor rect spray Three materials are recommended Lindane Malathion or may be used for spraying the bin walls floor and ceil ing These sprays are used only when the bin is empty Do not use DDT in grain bins If grain on the farm be comes infested fumigate it Fumigation must be done carefully taking care to fol low very strictly the warn ings on the manufacturers instructions each year says H W Provincial Entomologist Ontario Department of Agri culture and Food A number of insects can cause problems and fanners can avoid these by taking certain precau tions before harvest Cleaning the bin thorough ly is the most important The insects live in the bin so are brought in with the grain Clearing the bin of all material will get rid of most of the insects It is useful to spray the floor

with a fresh one the next day Many of the newer varieties now last for several days Best planting time for day- lilies is between July 15 and August although it can still be carried out until the middle of September A late July and early August plant ing will give the plants a chance to produce deep roots so that winter heaving by the frost will not take place Any garden soil that will grow quality vegetables is best for but they seem to grow quite well in sand or clay provided you make the soil one third humus before setting the plants in the ground For humus you can use any of the following with success grass clippings composted cattle manure discarded mushroom manure or peat moss Since the daylily is a fairly deep rooter the hum us should be thoroughly mixed with the soil down to a depth of 12 inches dont appreci ate very much shade and if the plants get les3 than hours of direct a day theres not much use in planting them in such a location Plant daylilies in front of
