HEATING OF BARLEY Changing the subject slightly, but there have been some re- ports of barley heating and this might be a good time to do some checking. One simple me- thod if the grain is piled deep is to put an iron rod down through the grain and by. feeling the red you can find where or at what depth the grain is, heating. After the grain is -‘stored it should be checked constantly

for several weeks.

Incidently,. this farmer grows grain as a cash crop. He has in the vicinity of. 200 acres of grain and uses a grain dryer to dry his crop. He said that he got

his barley but wasn’t satisfied with his yield. His aim is 100 bu- shels per acre and he said to do this he needs very early seed-

Executive members of the

P.E.I. Federation of Agriculture yesterday met with Premier Alex Campbell and présented general recommendations with respect to agricultural policy in the province. _ The federation wished to point out that. a modern, expanding, prosperous agriculture depends to a large extend on the educa- tion and training those involved in it are able to acquire. For this reason, the Federation pla- ees high on the list the matter of education for farming.

To the visitor to Prince Ed-- ward Island, we have an attrac- tive province, we also have a tremendous ‘potential agricultur- ally, land values are sfill quite low and present a temptation to speculators and those interested only in recreational aspects. For this reason, the delegation be- lieves it is highly important that serious thought and planning be directed to land use and to set- ting up of at least an initial com- mittee to consider _and ad- Vise on land and water use in this province.

The Federation of Agriculture also feels that the the Experimental Farm should be strongly focused on promo-

In the absence of an agricul- tural college many programs carried out in the past have tended to rely, in addition, to personnel in the provincial de- partment on resource people from :. Experimental Farm and fedéral divisions.

The Federation's concern here is-that every effort should be made to persuade the’ federal government to up-grade its ser- ices. In this respect the Feder-
