This Week in Ottawa

By E. D. Fulton, M.P.

April 14th, 1951

There has not been very much done
of particular importance since Par-
liament met after the Baster recess
apart from the discussions of the cost

@ FARM MACHINERY || of tiving inflation and the introduction

@ IRRIGATION - of the Budget.

_ SYSTEMS The cost. of living —a constant
struggle for so many thousands of

@ POWER UNITS Canadian house-wives and providers

e SAWMILLS — has been the main subject of dis-

cussion. The Budget which was intro-
duced on Tuesday and which increased

sales and exclse taxes which are added
to the cost of things the people have
to buy, has further accentuated this
problem.

The formal] debate came on first by
way of a motion introduced by Mr.
Drew criticising the fact that the cost
of living should have been allowed
to ciimb to such unprecedented heights
and calling for direct action to meet
it. The Government through the Min-
ister of Defence Production, Mr. Howe,
repeated its previous stand that the
time has not yet arrived when any
form cf direct contro) should be in-
(reduced or could be made to work.
The debate appeared to be increasing
in intensity rather than dwindling as
it progressed and it has now been ad-
jJourned to allow the House to proceed

toa further ‘ion of the Bud-
wet and the Budget debate itself will
probably go on for. two weeks or so
before. we can get back to the cost of
living as a separate issue. However,
the cost of living and the effect of the
Budget on the cost of living is bound
to form a large part of the discussion
of the Budget proposals so that the
matter will undoubtedly be before the
House for some weeks to come.

One interesting and very important
question was raised by Mr. Diefen-
baker in the course of this debate. He
asked the government what steps were
being taken under the Combines In-
vestigation Act to investigate and
prosecute any cases of profiteering.
Mr. Diefenbaker pointed out that the
frequency with which prices go up to
the same extent in all parts of the
country at the same time could hardly
be explained on the grounds of mere!
or “financial A

rather of agreement and combination
to increase prices. It is strange then.
he said, that the government appears
to be making so little use of the Com-
bines Investigation Act and he has
urged again that vigorous investiga-
tions and, where indicated, prosecu-
lions should be launched under this
Act to prevent so far-as possible any

PASTURE Today, M. A. Mac-
MANAGEMENT Donald, animal
husbandman at the
Dominion Range Experimental Sta-
tion, Kamloops, continues the sub-
ject of pasture with reference to man-
agement procedures. Once a perman-
ent pasture hs been seeded some
system of management must be
adopted. A good manager selects ro-
tational grazing over continuous graz-
ing because the former system pro-
vides more pasture and consequently
a greater return of profit per acre. It
has been found that when livestock are
kept on a single pasture throughout
the entire season it is very difficult
to secure uniform grazing of all por-
tions of the area, it is difficult to irri-
gate with the animals present and the
total yield of pasture is usually less
by weight and by nutrients than when
a system of rotational grazing is used.
A few years ago authorities recom-
mended that a 2 or 3 field system in-
volving a total rotational period of
21 to 28 days be used. More recently,
however, it has ‘been found that a
system using more fields (4 to 8) and
a shorter rotational period (15 to 18
days) increases the yield of total
forage and total nutrients per acre.

‘Now let us establish and manage a

grazing unit for beef cattle assuming
that the area has been properly fer-
tilized, and seeded to a good mixture
in the fall.

First the pasture must be sub-
divided into units either by permanent
or temporary fences. If these fields are
of equal productive capacity the field
will be of equal area. Start spring
grazing in the first pasture as soon as
the soil is dry and firm enough to
permit grazing and when plants are
about 3 inches high. This usually
means shortening the grazing period
in the first 1 or 2 units thus avoiding
over-grazing. The grazing in all units
during the rest of the season should
be such that units will be grazed when
the forage reaches a height of 6
inches.

As soon as the cattle are removed,
harrow or brush drag the grazed unit
to break up and spread the droppings.
Then irrigate -immediately. If the
weather is particularly hot and dry
irrigate again 3 or 4 days prior to

ample moisture for rapid growth.

Agriculture Today

Mow each pasture unit as needed
during the summer to control weeds
and rank growth resulting from
patchy grazing thus maintaining a
uniform growth of succulent and
highly nutritious forage thnoughout
the entire pasture.

If during June the growth of forage
is too rapid for the requirements of
the livestock, more animals may be
added or one unit may be cut for hay
and then grazed in rotation with other
units during the hotter summer
months when growth is slow.

Finally it is important to stop graz-
ing in all pastures early enough in fall
to allow sufficient regrowth of the
grasses and legumes to provide winter
protection.

FARM WIFE Reported in Hoards
WORTH Dairyman, an Illinois

*  eollege has determin-
ed that a farm wife is worth sixty"
thousand dollars in extra income to
her husband during their married life.
Bachelors earned on the average $2400
less net each year than married tarm
operators, on the same general size
and type of farm. This amount, cap-
italized at 4% amounts to $60,000.00.
However, the farm management spe-
cialist conducting the survey cautions
bachelors on making the plunge to
get the extra fortune. But the little
woman does help.
