which occurred in the breeding of Imperial Silver and it seldom grows more than two feet In height making It an Ideal gar den or pot plant The best way of describing it would be to say that it is a Imperial Silver However the flowers are not reduced in pro to the plant and eightinch pot is truly magnificent and the blooms are extremely longlasting This year home gardeners are able to buy two companion plants for Little Rascal These are Gold Roscal and Little Red Rascal and Little Red is a miniature repro duction of the Imperial Gold Strain and Red Rascal of the Imperial ones eye At one

NewmarketAurora Keiwkk Wed June I WISE HOME OWNERS INSIST ON SIDEWALK SLABS from din concrete products ltd TV Valk On Vegetables By Matthew Valk Honey is not supposed grow on trees but Alfalfa plants give it a good try Alfalfa cut a the late bud stage and stored as silage will have a level around per cent With soybean meal at per ton a pound of protein lists at 12 cents At this price the protein in a ton of Alfalfa Is worth about Then If we get the yield up to four or five tons per acre money really does grow on Alfalfa The trick Is to hang on to the nutrients In Alfalfa Losses will take a half If the plants get mature and woody Leaf shatter during harvest results In a lot of protein being left lying on the ground Early silage heads off both of these losses but so far this hasnt really become popular here In York We know from research that if silage gets very hot in the silo it carmellzes and a good part of the protein Is unusable Overheating can be avoided by ensiling hay that is fairly wet packs tight and excludes air So a big point In getting all the dollars out of Alfalfa Is to cut It early and ensile it long before It is ready to bale Early cutting is good medicine for the Alfalfa weevil too There were a few around last week and there is sure to be damage this year but spraying Is not the answer Cutting the crop and starving them out Is more practical A new project started In York last week Eighteen boys and girls enrolled using horses as their project with Mrs Nancy of King their enthusiastic leader During the year Dick Surges horse specialist with the Ontario
