BERUE (#4 News of the Farms a8 Alfalfa Defies Drought Maintains the Milk Flow In a season of extremely widespread drought conditions, alfalfa, the deepest rooting of our high quality hay and pasture legumes, has been the spearhead of success in the programme of increased milk production. “If I had not had that field of alfalfa I would have been in bad Shape for pasture weeks ago” has been a common statement of many farmers this summer. When other hay and pasture plants practically ceased to grow, alfalfa continued to provide the raw materials, pro- tein, carbonhydrates, minerals and vitamens necessary for the main- tenance of milk production sched- ules. Everyone recognizes that front line fighters must be well fed, and alfalfa has been a front line fight- er in the battle to secure adequate supplies of highly nourishing food. Thus this fall, fields that have been heavily grazed throughout the summer will need liberal feeding if they are to survive, thrive and Produce anew next year. Alfalfa, like other legume plants, when developing in a shealthy,-vig- orous manner, can secure from the atmosphere an abundance of nitrogen, enough for its own use and some to spare for the enrich- ment of the soil, this being ac- complished by means of the nitro- gen-fixing bacteria which live in nodules on its roots, Mineral plant focds, however, must be supplied by manurial treatment, chiefly through the application of mineral fertilizers such as O-16-6 or 0-12 10. Fall application of minerals has seve.al important advantages: (1) the minerals stimulate strong root development and enable the roots to accumulate a reserve supply of mineral to strengthen them against winter injury; (2) a plentiful sup- Ply of fall and early spring mois- ture permits of satisfactory pene- tration of minerals to the root Zone area. Alfalfa is also a lime loving piant. It does best in a nearly neutral soil. Thus farmers who are planning to seed down to this leg- ume next spring should have the soil tested immediately, so that early preparations can be made to have the field limed, if this treat- ment should prove necessary. Viewed from the standpoint of Canada’s war effort, alfalfa has demonstrated that it is one of our greatest agricultural assets and should receive special considera- tion in the 1942 program for in- creased production of cheese and butter. Stripping and Baling Cigar and Pipe Tobaccos The final tion with stripping operation in connec- tobacco culture is the and baling of tobacco. This operation is important, and the way it is done usualiy has more influence on the price ob- tained than growers may general- ly elieve. A well ciassified and packed , product will always bring a better price than a poo.ly pre- pared one. The first point of importance is the taking down of the tobacco in the barn. This should be done at the beginning of a period of humidity or casing weather, rath- er than at the end. Otherwise good lots of tobacco may be spoiled by excess moisture, says R. Borde- leau, Assistant Sperintendent, Do- minion Experimental Station, L’As- sumption, Que. Cigar tobacco at stripping time should be placed in four classes, tops, middles, bottoms, and trash. The trash should contain not only the sand leaves but also from any portion of the which have been damaged much in curing, or by wind, in- sects, or disease. Sucke’s, sun- burnt and uncured leaves, should under no circumstances be inclu- ed in the traSh as they have no commercial value. They should be destroyed. Fat stems should not be baled right away but should be put back on the laths and bal- ed only after the drying of the midrib is completed. It is only then that they have a commercial value. leaves plant too Pipe tobacco generally requires only two classes, the sound leaf and the trash. The same rules ap- Ply to pipe trash as for cigar trash. With cigar tobacco, only the trash should be’ tied in hands; the Other classes are baled loose. With Pipe tobacco all classes should be tied in ‘hands of approximately half a pound each.

Gladiolas should be lifted and stored away from frost. Clean up all leaves from lawns. Push forward all planting of trees and shrubs. Go over all climbers and make sure they are tied up.

Preéce, tying are general, but may be changed to suit certain buyers ac- cording to their needs. “ The bales should not be too theavy, their weight might range from 30 to 50 pounds ac- cording to the size and class of tobacco. The Tobacco’ should neither be baled too loose nor too compact. When bailing, the leaves should lap sufficiently in the mid- dle to insure safe handling and prevent the breaking of the bale in two. The bales should be wrap- ped with a good quality paper, of Sufficient strength to with stand handling, and be tied with string only. Binder twine is commonly used to tie the bales and serves the purpose very well. If the tobacco is not to be del- ivered immediately to a packing plant, care should be taken in pil- ing the bales so that air circulates freely between and under the rows of bales which should not be moze than three or four in height.
