Cites Results

Of Soil Erosion Survey In P.E.l.

stressing the loss of surface soil by erosion as one of may factors contributing to the deterioration in the roductivity of Prince Ed- ward is and rolls, Mr. 0. B. White- side. Dominion lbmlrllnntal sta- tion, mlarlottetown. gave a re- view of this subject at the Agri- cultursl Institute of Canada con-. vcntion yesterday.

Results of I detailed erosion survey in a selected area of Queen's County, together with ob- servations over the Province gen- cirdblly, were cited by Mr. White- s e. - '

In the surveyed area approx- imately 54 per cent of the land is maintained under grass crops, l-null cultlvltld Ind natural, with about 28 per cent under cultivated crops. Yet the survey has shown that around In per cent. of the soils have suffered slight erosion, 39.7 per cent ntoderatooroslon, and 0.0 per cent. severe erosion.

"With ceilings and floors pro- vided for grains it follows that ceilings and floors are just as nec- essary for livestock products in order to maintain the desired bal- ance." Dr.tJ. E. Lattimer, of West- mount, Quebec, told the Canadian Society of Animal Production (Eastern Section) ,tn session here yesterday. Dr. Lattlmcr is well known in Prince Edward Island for the farm economic survey he conducted here some years ago for the Provincial Government.

"The economics of the livestock industry." he emphasized, "in- cludes not only the moving of raw materials long distances but also arranging prices of both raw ma- terials and finished products that provide the required quantities of both." '

Livestock production, he noted. has declined relatively due to the greatlcr.att.ract.ion of alternative opportunities. Grazing has de- clined in relation to grain fed alu- mals, and beef in relation to dairy farming. The lines that permit the combination of more labor with less feed and less land have expanded most and persisted long- est on the small farms of Canada.

Present Problems

Present economic problems in- clude the economical movement of raw materials from surplus to deficit areas, the improvement of the quality of meat for the do- mestic market. the maintena -re and extension of export ou is on this. continent and a price re- lationship, between raw materials (feed grains) and finished pro- ducts (livestock and livestock pro- ducts) that will ensuro the re- quired supply and quality of live- stock '

Dr. Lattimer revealed that not- withstanding Canada's position as a. surplus food country, six out of the ten Provinces are def- icit: areas for even Canadian grown farm products. These six Provinces with four-fifths of the population have only 30 per cent of the land in farms and even a smaller proportion in improved farm land. They have only two and one-quarter acres of im- proved land per person against 26 acres per person in the other four Provinces. This necessitates a huge international trade not only in food products but also in feeds.

REPORTS SAY

back to the edge of Uijongbu. guardian city of the invasion valley 12 miles north of Seoul. the south Korean capital. -

An American source here said the northerners had been driven out. of Seoul. A blackout of com- munications with Seoul tended to confirm that the invaders had oc- cupied part of the city at least for a time.

Ordered By Truman

The Americans attacked on in- structions from President Truman, who ordered a new American pol- icy against further Communist ag- gression-t.'he use of air and sea forces. Korean reports that Amer- ican ground forces would be used were denied.

An evidently-well-founded re- port in Tokyo said American bombers immediately would at- tack all South Korean towns captured by the ltu.sslan-equip- pod North Koreans, and would keep it. up until they were driven back north of the 38th parallel boundary.

President. Truman's order to MacArthur called for "cover and support” for the South Korean troops, indicating fighter planes also would be used.

Already. American Mustang fight.- ers guarding the air evacuation American civilians from Korea had shot down four Russian-made North Korean Yak fighters that tried to interfere Tuesday.

The broadcast from Seoul early today quoted Rhee as saying to General Church had been ap- pointed commander of ii "joint cle- fenoe operation" by the United States and south Korean forces.

Apparently he referred to Brig.- Gen. John H. Church. commander of the Ryukyus (Okinawa) Military Government. There w no con- firmation of this repo t., however

American naval dispositions were not disclosed. The United States has 500-plus planes and 18 war- ships in the Western Pacific area. United states military manpower totals 123.500.

The American planes. including more than too fighters, both jets and conventional pistrm-engine jobs. and B-29 and 13-36 bombers, are included in the United states Far East Air Force, based in Ja- pan. Okinawa, Guam and the Philippines.

The light cruiser Juneau anti four destroyers are based in Jo- plin-resd y available -- while the United 8 ates seventh fleet in t.he,Phillpplnes-Guam area has it combat. ships. including the air- craft carrier Valley Forge.

Reviews Plans For Marshland Rehabilitation

The response from property own- ers to date has been excellent and considerable progress is beillg made in the programme of marsh- land rehabilitation in the Marl- times. reported Mr. J. S. Parker in addressing the Agricultural En- gineering section of the Agricul- tural Institute here yesterday. Mr. Parker is in charge of the admin-

N. S.

At present steps are underway to construct. on the part; of the Federal Department of Agricul- ture, the necessary protective works-dykes. aboiteaux and break- waters - while at the same time the Provinces are initiating their drainage program and are estab- lishing an agricultural policy for their use.

Mr. Parker estimated the marsh- lands of the Maritime Provinces at approximately 90.000 acres. made up of fertile soil deposited by tidal waters. When protected from the sea and properly drained and cul- tivated, they will constitute some of the most valuable and produc- tive soils in Canada.

usoll Classification

Speaking before the Soils Section at yesterday's conference, Messrs. A. J. Sutherland and G. R. Smith. of the Nova scotia Agricultural College, Truro, discussed the cobalt content of some Nova Scotia soils and the herbage crop. Cobalt nie- ficiency symptoms in cattle and sheep have been noted in certain parts of Nova Scotla, particularly the South Shore district, he said. Cattle suffering from this defici- ency, knownas "wasting disease", have responded to the addition of small amounts of cobalt in the diet

The necessity of having a sound and accurate knowledge of the quality and quantity of soil re- sources in an area was emphasized by Mr. N. R. Richards, of the On- tario Agricultural College, Guelph. Mr. Richards explained how, through classifying the soils in an area. salient differences are established, after which improved land use programs can be develop- ed scientifically.

iit Montague

During the past two weeks, the farm of Fred G. Maclatyre. Montague, has been bustling with I0?-lVltY in preparation for the strawberry season which, this year. gives. evidence of beingithe great. est, In the past three years in which Mr. Maclntyre has engaged in commercial production. Al- though many farmers have grown one or two acres of berries, none have even approached the heavy Production as was witnessed last summer on Mr. Macintyre's farm, Having grown strawberries on I small scale for many years, Mr, Maclntyre, in 1948, started com. merclal production. beginning with fhreelacres to test growth. He later. increased this acreage to six, consisting of two of Wardold. two of Dunlap.' and two of Dorset. From this acreage. some 20.000 boxes were picked. Lari year Mr. MH0Iflll'Te- had twenty acres under cultivation. and was picking of! twelve. Beginning on the 2nd day of July. an average of eighty pick. ers moved over the field for B Q8YS.zatherinig the ripest and love- liest strawberries. Mr. Maclntyre had several samples of six and seven berries growing to a single hull. all of which were of fine col- or. shape and size, indicating that Mr. Maclntyre has chosen an ex- cellent variety to grow, ymding some 5000 boxes per acre. On the last day lite Dlckers totalled 52.000 boxes, which was made by six pickings over the same area.

-Approximately half the total yield was sold to the local can- nery, under the management of Mr. Leon Johnston, who canned .the berries and also made pre- serve. some 10,000 boxes were sold locally to citizens. and the remainder was shipped by the Strawberry Growers Association, of which Mr. Maclntyre is a mem- ber. to various cities in. Canada and U. S.A. ,

Indust y Increasing

A word might be inserted hero regarding the valuation of this new. growing industry which em- ployed over 150 for the growing season. Together with the pickers and the 60 employed at the fact- ory. one may realize the import- ance of this industry to Montague and vicinity. all of whom benefit from the added employment which this industry gives.

This year Mr. Macintyre has twenty-two acres under cultivat- ion. comprising l0 acres of Dunlap, 7 of Dorset, 3 of Midlands, and 2 of Wartleld. Mr. Maclntyre will have sixteen acres on which to pick berries this year, and he ex- pects a possible yield of 60.000 boxes. the greater part of which will be taken by the local can- nery.

Although strawberries are his principal crop, Mr. Maclntyre has 40 acres of boy. 26 acre of grain. and ten acres of potatoes on his large farm which comprises 240 acres. Throughout the season many tourists from various parts, par- ticularly Ontario. visit the berry fields. and many in the past have remarked the excellent quality and large production such as is seldom seen.

Mr. Maclntyre and his sons also run a large farm. but in winter he find: time for curling. He is presi- dent of the P. E. I. Curlin-g Assoc- iation. and was president of the Montague Curling Club in 1948. One may see Mr. Maclntyre at practically any MacArthur, Gab- oury. British Consols. or any other trophy competition. either playing or cheering his home team on to victory. '
