PARIS. Doc. 11 - (Reuters) - Tiny fist-topped bowler hats call- ed "Chui-chills" are the sensation of. Pierre Balms.in's mid-season fashion show here.

Worn for day or evening, they

' may be made in felt. fabric or min-

oche, but the shape is always the same: A diort stove-pipe crown

with rolled derby brim. '; The model named ”Winslon ichurchill" is in navy blue faillc,

trimmed in front with a life-size ; cigar.

Another Ohurcbllill style, named "foreign office," is in black-snd- white pinpoint check. The rolled

lbrims are fixed to the crown - with a red pencil. g

"Flying saucer" is another hat shape for the late winter and spring. These are large csrtwheeis with clown studdied to leave room for a huge cbignon. Two large hat

1 pins of the same material as the hat may be used to hold the chig- non in place.

Although just back from the Un- ited States. Balmain has taken his inspiration from Britain again. Black Watch tartan is the motive of his collection.

A white pique evening dress is worn with a. sequin-covered wool sharwl of this plaid. A matching bow trims the front of the gorwn.

For after-skiing time, there are tie silk slacks in the Black Watch tartan. A hand-knitted corduory and red sweater complete the en- semfole.

The Importance or Good Pasture

...Expenditurs on pasture improve- ment is the most effective way to reduce expenditure on purchased feeding stuffs.

Comparing the cost of producing pasture with that of producing oth- er commonly grown farm crops. the Field Husbandry Division, at the Central Experimental from. Ottawa, has found that each 100 pounds of digestible nutrients ob- tained from blue grass pasture cost 44 cents, from alfalfa hay 61 cents, from corn silage 31.22 and from oats 62.81. It is thus clearly dem- onstrated that pasture is a very economical feed. In parts of Que- bec and the Maritime Provinces. where climatic conditions are more favourable for some of the other crops. the difference in favour of pasture is even more pronounced.

The importance of the nutritive value of pasture herbage should not be .overlooked. Analyses show that the crude protein content of hay made from mature grass'aver- aged about 9 per cent while the crude protein content, on the dry basis, of young growing grass in the pasture stage ran as high as 24 per cent. Moreover, the digestibil- ity of the proteins in pasture varies between at and 5 per cent, where- as the digestibility of the proteins of hay rarely exceeds so per cent. Pasture herbage is a good source of the important vitamins. It also contains the essential minerals such as calcium and phosphorus.

the plants are in.the young grow- ing stsge. Its mineral content can be greatly increased by proper fert- ilization. and by proper manage- ment, which tends to maintain a desirable balance between clovers and grasses.

Good seed mentures. fertilization, and proper manage- ment will increase pasture pro- duction and lower costs.

Sainfoin A Promising Forage Introduction

There are areas in Canada in which clovers and alfalfa are not adapted and for which a good per- ennial legume would fill a useful place. The Division of Forage Plants. Ottawa, while placing the main emphasis on the breeding of improved varieties of clovers and alfalfa is continually testing. in- troduced legutnes in the hope that they will enlarge the stock of sv- ailable species. After being tested in a preliminary way in the In- troduction Nursery, those that show promise are given more ex- tensive tests to determine their yielding ability. feeding value and

eas where they are best adapted.

A legume which recent tests have shown to have some promise is sanfoin. This is a long-lived deep- Pooted perennial which tillers well,

producing stout, erect stems one to three feet in height. The rose-colored flowers are in compact. racemes and pro-

duce one-seeded. indehiscent pods. sainfoin occurs in the wild state in South EasterngEurope and is now cultivated in western Europe on the poorer, calcareous sous. It has nev- er attained any agricultural im- portance in America but on certain soil types its culture might be prof- itable.

Tests at Ottawa have shown that in severe winters, sainfoin has the ability to survive when alfalfa and clovers are severely damaged. A hay test of 13 sainfoin strains in 1949 gave an average seasonal yield from 2 cuttings of 4250 lb. per acre. A chemical analysis of comparable hay samples of sain- foin. alfalfa and red clover showed 22, 29 and 30 per cent protein re-

spectively. with the crude fibre content being 17.22 and 12 per cent respectively. Salnfoin has

therefore a. favourable protein con- tent. and a low fibre content.

In favourable seasons sainfoin produces a good seed yield and is very attractive to honey bees as a nectar source. An increase block of one-half acre at Ottawa in 1950 yielded 291 lb.. or approximately 600 lb. per acre. While this yield is higher than for alfalfa and red clover in the Ottawa area, the seeds are unhulled and fairly large and it therefore requires a much higher seeding rate per acre for es- tablishment.

On the basis of hay and seed yields. chemical analysis and per- sistence. sainfoin appears to have a definite value. Tests of this les- ume in areas where alfalfa and
