tdOMETHINgEt:vLD:' SOMETHING

it is very encouraging to see the numerous field of Alfalfa after- math througho the country. Farmers are to be commended for their efforts in min: different crops on their own farms. Suc- cess is not always easy and it ., only-by trial and error that we find the best ways and means or growing any thing.

Alfalfa may -not establish well the first time it is seeded even when the land is well llmed and the seed la inoculated. It seems as though the first few plants that do grow inoculate thq land so that a good catch generally follows the second seeding.

A good Alfalfa sod should re- main productive for four or five years. However it must be pro- perly managed it it is to remain even two years. The quickest way to out Alfalfa is to graze it heavlLv in Septem” This will deplete the food reserves in the roots and heaving frosts will fin- lsh it off. September is the month in which Alfalfa -stores up food and top growth is required to do so. Grazing may be done after growth ceases in the fall but the rrqwns should not be damaged.

I "SOMETHING TO SHOW"

Farmers are generally quite proud of the crops grown on their own farm. If you have anything in 'tha way of seeds. roots, etc.. which you think is better than your neighbour why not dress it up a bit and send it to the Mari- time Winter Fair. "The Show Window of Maritime Agriculture"? This will not only bring credit to you but to the Island as well. En- tries close October 15 but you still have three weeks to get your entries prepared. For further in- formation contact the Department of Agriculture or any Alflllllllural Official in the Federal service. pl-1;. lists and entry forms are available for the asking. as well as information on how to prepare entries.

"MOISTUIIE IN IIABNS”

Good ventilation in the stable means the difference between healthy animals and sick. poor nrothicers. Ventilation does not mean draughts. it means good cir- culation of air with a reasonable intake of fresh air and the re- moval of foul and moisture laden air: Good ventilation when allied to properly insulated walls make living conditions as .nearly per- fact as possible.

One of the most efficient sys- tems for the removal of the foul air is by the King single out-take system. The flue. is closed to the floor on three sides while an open- ing about equal in its area to the cross section of the flue is. lefi at the floor, on the remaining side. The portion of the flue from the floor to the ceiling, need only be of single board construction. Matched lumber should be used however, to make it as nearly air- tight as possible.

From the stable ceiling through. the loft and to the outlet above the roof. the walls must be very wamly built. Flues of double thick- ness of matched lumber and with a layer of heavy roofing paper between the layers are fairly sat- isfactory, though in cold wea- ther some condensation of mois- lure from the air will occur-

Anothcr type of construction is a lining of lumber. covered,with a one-inch la y c r of insulating lmard. While the most common lhiCkllESS of these materials avail-

able is the hall-inch board. it is recommended to cover the out- side of the flue with a full inch of it. These materials are much more efficient insulators than lumber and are ideal for this pur- pose. The portlon of the flue ex- tending above the barn roof should be covered with lumber or with a layer of roll roofing to protect the insulating board from rain. sheet iron flashing is necessary around the flue at .the roof to make certain that no water will run down the sides of the flue.

"TO STAY OI! TO 60"

To stay on the farm or to seek work in another industry is a de- cision which has to be faced by almost every farmer's son. If the son decides to leave the farm both father and son may have to make adjustments which are not par- ticularly agreeable to. e ith er of them.

Provided that the son likes to farm. there are many advantages in his remaining at home. After all, farming. more than some oth- er occupation, is both a way of life and a business venture. The son may well be happy to share in the operation of the farm bus- iness if some sort of partnership or business-like arrangement can be developed.

The basic feeling of a farmer's son towards farming as an oc- cupation are often formed in early life. Parents by.their attitudes and example exert a marked influence on their child's choice of career and on his decision as to his life- time work. The son is more likely to be interested in agriculture when his father appears to be a s ccessful farmer who derives gr at satisfaction from his work. Some farmers, in spite of their success, convey an unfortunate im- pression to youngsters when they complain that they are engaged in an operation which is a losing battle with the weather, insects and business condltions..

It should be remembered that there are good times as well as bad in agriculture and it is not fair to the farmer's son that he should receive the impression that farming is always an insecure oc- cupation. An undue emphasis on hazards can undermine the son's ambition to become a farmer. The fact that farming. like every oth- er business. is a matching of ex- perience and wits against factors which threaten the success of the enterprise should. if cast in pro- per terms. be a challenge .to youth. If the father is openlyi enthusias- tic about his farm and does not hesitate to discuss its profitable operation and value with his son. the son is more likely to remain on the farm.

THE VFABMERS SHARE

Farmers are prone to say that the middle-man is gettin g too much for the services which are rendered. These differences be- tweenthe price which the farmer gets for his goods and that paid by the consumer are sometimes large and nobody understands why except the middleman. The,con- sumer when buying food prod- ucts figures the farmcr is getting rich. The farmer when buying me- chinery thinks of the money going to make others rich.

A great deal of research has been conducted by various eco- nomic agencies so that now spreads can be obtained. The table below from "The Economic An- nalist." August 1954. gives figures showing the farm share of the con- gumei-'3 dollar for five years.

Dear Mom how we think of you. Friends are friends if they are true We lost our best friend when we lost you.

Always Loved and Remembered by her Daughter Julia.

The Red Feather campaign is under way. All across Canada self-sacrificing individuals will be going from door to door solic- iting the amount that the social services of their city require. It is one practical expression of the Christian love in which',wci all believe. -

But again rand again one is shocked to hear of the numbers of people approached who have abundance and live in luxury but who have not even a welcome for those who undertake this task. The spirit ef Bcrooge is not yet dead. It is discouraging to hear of necessary objectives unreach cd because of such refusals. But, after all, the effects of this indifference on the indifferent themselves is more deadly than on the society to which they be- long.

It is a law of our nature that when deep emotions or high mys- tical experiences do not find expression in action they react on the nature experiencing them and harden it.

Every evangelist finds that the Gospel-hardened are the hardest of all classes to reach with the appeal of-the love of God. That is to say that people who have heard and felt the power of the Gospel but refused to yield to it became callous in heart and con- science and spiritually immove- able. The same thing happens to all who turn away from what they know they ought to do.

One of the most familiar of our hymns is Isaac Watt's When I Survey the Wondrous Cross. Yet when we heard it over the air the other .morning it seemed to come with a fresh appeal. That one line: "Did e'er such love and sorrow meet?" sounded the depths to which Christ de- scended in order to lift us to the heights of communion with God. The hymn closes with the practi- cal bearing of this love on the people who are its objects:

"Love so amazing. so divine Demands my soul. my life.

my all."

' Here our liyinn-writer follows the example of those closest to the Saviour's heart. st. John. "the disciple whom Jesus loved," has written: "God is love. In this the love of God was made manlfest among us. that God sent His only Son into the world so that we might live through Him. In this is love. not that we loved God, but that He loved us. and sent His son to be the cxpiation for our sins. Beloved. if God so loved us. we also ought

to love one another."
