November Last Wednesday Jersey Public School held its Open House night at which there was an extremely fine turn out of parents which delight ed the heart of principal Ron Graham Gloxinias Will Thrive Indoors COOPERATIVE CONSULTATION CORNER by Bob McDonald Branch Mutter Branch GOOD PRACTICES ARE IMPORTANT Research shows lhat good milking practices and herd management save time cows and money Yet the milking operation is often the most in efficient operation on the farm Sometimes this is because the milking is left to the most inefficient man on the farm Sometimes it happens because the milking equipment isnt kept in top operating shape Check your own milk ing operations against these points Have you too many milking machine units oper ating at each chore time This results in over- milking and actually training the cows to be slow milkers One man should operate no more than 2 bucket type units or pipeline units in a stanchion barn or pipeline units in a tandem parlor or pipeline units in a herringbone parlor The proper number of units allows your vacuum pump operate more efficiently also Do you prepare the cow for milking by washing the udder for at least thirty seconds Use a strip cup or black plate to detect abnormal milk before you attach the teat cups Milk heifers first and leave infected cows last Attach the milker units within one minute after you wash the udder When the milk flow ceases pull down gently on teat cups to open the teat cavity and re move shippings Break the vacuum on cups and remove litem gently when milking i completed Dip teat ends in disinfectant solution alter milking If you follow these simple steps with each cow you will find you cannot handle more lhan the re commended units Worn equipment will slow down milking lime and make milking operation inefficient Make regular checks for worn pump worn out I lobby inflations or liners dirt dogged vacuum lines leaky stall cocks stick pulsalors and inopera tive vacuum controller Just as soon

today forTylan- lifted hog feeds There also a program for of dys entery few house plants that actually prefer the warm and partially shaded conditions found in most modern homes Patience careful watering in the beginning and feeding are the key to growing them in the home or apartment Why do so many window gardeners have trouble with these plants which are so easy to grow Thats the question I asked Frank Reinett the world famous gloxinia tuber ous begonia and delphinium breeder when I visited his nurseries reentry at California His answer was a very simple one a poor soil mixture and in the first three or four weeks after up Frank Reinelt recommend ed a loose mixture consisting of one part leaf mould one part top soil and one part coarse sand He was most emphatic that the humus part of the mixture should be leaf mould Commercially packaged leaf mould can us ually be had from most gar den stores Gloxinias thrive in the warm temperatures of our modem homes but they dont like the dry atmosphere found there The amount of In The Garden By John contained in the air is less than that above Sahara Desert Theres only one truly satis factory way of making sure that the air contains sufficient moisture and that is to install one of the inexpensive mech anical humidifiers One of these can be bought for as little as Next time you have an opportunity to visit a greenhouse observe how the plant grower wets the walks between the beds two or three times a day to keep the moisture in the air at a high level need two sires of pots for growing Gloxinias To start them off select clay pots just large enough to hold the tubers a 3 inch one is about the right size Later on when trie first pots are filled with roots the plants are mov ed to the 5 or inch size A tuber should be just barely covered with the soil mixture recommended before Give them a good soaking with wa ter at room temperature and you probably wont need to water them again for as long as ten days to two weeks Overwatering at this stage when growth is just begin ning usually means failure in ninety cases out of a hundred Too much water at this time later on causes the plants to develop flowering buds to the point where they are about to open and then they drop off Night tem perature during this period should be to degrees After a few days the puck ered brown tubers start to send out small fussy leaves that look a great deal like mouse ears It Isnt long after that the plants start to grow vigorously When four or five leaves have developed the Gloxinias will need plenty of moisture This is the time to start giving them a regular feeding with a liquid complete plant food every two weeks Such a plant wood should contain nitrogen which promotes the growth of branches and leaves plus phosphorous and potash Farm Report By Charge Phoney Warranty On Farm Machinery North York Farmers Feed Grain Limited Newmarket Ontario Ph HiEnergy Mills Limited Superior Street Newmarket Ontario Ph Newmarket District CoOperative Ontario Street Newmarket Ontario Ph GUELPH The Ontario Farmers Union In a brief to the Royal Commission on Farm Machinery holding hearings this week In Toronto said the present warranty system on new farm machin ery is far from satisfactory and often nonsensical and even phoney As an example the brief stated a new baler could be purchased then used for only a total of actual working

measures enforcing a revision of all farm machin ery warranties The brief coo- tended a machine should be guaranteed for years or for 500 working hours similar the practice of automobile manufacturers The record could be registered by sealed meters installed on the ma chine The OFU said machine companies should be requir ed by taw to make new farm machines function properly and provide necessary repair parts or be liable for time and crop loss of farmers brief said too that manufacturers should be re quired by regulation to a full responsibility for proper assembly and service of new machinery Special emphasis In the brief was directed to ward the establishment of a central parts depot located to provide easy and quick ac cess to all parts of Ontario The proposed depot the brief said should be completely stocked by all manufacturers adequate supply to pro vide farmers repair parts within 24 hours or less Agricultural Representative for York County Quite a few dairymen in York have sold their herds and quit the business in the last few months King Douglas Hope Mel McMillan Matt Heron Mrs and Douglas Hutching are examples A fair number have sold out in County this fall too This trend wont affect the total amount of milk produced of course because the cows will all be working in other herds It toes I think indicate that some of the diffi culties in running a dairy farm are getting to the acute stage Those who have enough hay down usually have four or five good reasons for quitting Its my guess though that the difficulty of find ing and keeping good hired labour is the one that really made the decision We have to face the fact that our industry in simply does not attract a sufficient number of good efficient employees There may be many reasons but again I think there is one that really stops farm boys from becoming hired men Work ing seven days a week is the kilter A man and his work may be inseparable but there is enough affluence in agriculture that a man ought to be able to call his soul his own on Sunday A sixday week for labour on dairy farms isnt easy but have other problems just as difficult and this one should be tackled next and quickly Ah well as the usual sources for farm labour there are two new ones that may be of interest First our Department has a programme going to bring welltrained married farm workers here from Europe These men fit only in top jobs It takes good pay good housing and good working conditions to convince a man he should move himself and his family thousands of mites from native soil Another is for short term inexper ienced help There are young men here now from Korea who will work on dairy farms for a year to get experience They are taking a course at now and will be ready for farms early In December
