System produces


more milk EXPERTS at a local feed company have produced detailed costings on forage aimed at interesting


dairy farmers. B. Dugdale and Son Ltd


compiled figures from 50 dairy farms, which aver­ aged 140 acres supporting 95 cows and followers. ' Almost half the opera­


tions used 100 acres for first cut silage and 80 acres for second cut, with 20 acres grazed. The others used an average of 80 for first and 20 for alkalege, with 30 for second cut and 50 for grazing. Dugdale nutritional spe­


cialist Mr John Runnalls says that the second group had slightly less costs and considerably more overall tons of DM forage per acre. "The overwhelming advantage of the multi-for­ age system to the farmers is its ability to more effi­ ciently produce milk - almost 15 per cent more than the sileage-grazing system," says Mr Run­ nalls.


When the dinosaur walked past it


was very smelly. "That night, he wrote in his


diary. Bomber showed his friend Harriet the dinosaur, then it disap­ peared. The next morning, when Bomber woke up, he searched among his toys and found a diplodocus, which was the big dinosaur he had seen. Bomber and Harriet took some photographs of the diplodocus, but they did not come out very well. There were just photos of trees and the moon. "In the newspaper it said ‘Schoolboy Dinosaur Find’.


“A school boy called Bernard


had found some dinosaur bones. ‘‘They came from a diplodocus. Bomber wrote all this in his nature diary. His teacher thought it was brilliant and gave him two gold


stars. "The teacher was not sure if


Bomber and Harriet had seen the dinosaur, but they all went to see the dinosaur bones." Of the book, Robert said: "I


think the dinosaur was a ghost because it walked through things and the photos didn't come out properly."

Popular woman brought sparkle to Guiding


A MUCH-LOVED member of the Guide move­ ment who was well known in the Ribble Valley has died suddenly.


(82) was said to have used her natural charm to bring "sparkle" to the Guides during a lifetime's involve­ ment with the association. In the 1950s, she became


Mrs Annette Southern


she associated, due partly to her great personality and character. For a number of years,


the Division Commissioner for Burnley after being per­ suaded to take the post by the late Hon. Miss Rachel- Kay-Shuttleworth. Mrs Southern held the post for about a decade. In 1974, she became the third-ever president of the


Burnley Division and, for 25 years, Mrs Southern was county president for the Lancashire East Guiding Association, retiring in 1996. The widow of Mr John


Mrs Southern was also a magistrate at Reedley, but she retired more than 10 years ago to spend time with her husband when he


retired. Educated partly at St


Trinneans' in Edinburgh, Mrs Southern moved to the Burnley area in 1938 and from then she always lived in Read until recent­ ly, when she moved to Low Moor, Clitheroe. The former internation­


al lacrosse player also enjoyed gardening and


Southern, a former solicitor and president of Clitheroe Golf Club, she is said to have been loved by all the Guide people with whom


used to find time to help with labelling work at Gawthorpe Hall. Her funeral service and


interment took place last week at St John's Church, Read.
