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 (Continued on back page)

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.
