‘FACTS FOR FARMERS

For many years the acreage

sewn to grain .crops in P.E.1. _has been falling and in 1965 the

total cereal area was about 40,- 000 acres ‘less than that grown in 1945. In spite of fewer acres the total yield has held steady and in some years, 1964 for ex- ample, has increased. It is true that yields were down in 1965 but this was due to the unusual- ly‘ dry season.

While grain yields have in creased considerably in the past several years there is still room for improvement. Many factors contribute to better grain yields and some of these will be dis- cussed here.

SFED -t us consider the seed first. If a grower is buying seed he should accept only the best even though the price may be little _ higher. Registered and Certified seed have been inspected in the field and must meet high stand- ards for purity, freedom from disease, germination and weed seed content. If home- grown seed is used it should be thor- oughly cleaned in preparation ‘for seeding and all seed should be treated with an organic mer- cury compound -before planting. Seed treatment will control smut -in oats and in-all seeds it reduces the damage from a number of disease organisms carried on the surface of the seed. Cleaning and treating can be done at home if suitable- eqiipments is. available. If not there are many custom seed cleaning plants in the province. Some, but not all, of these are eauipped with treating machin-

es SEEDING RATES There are great differences of opinion regarding seeding rates. If germination is 90 per cent or higher and a drill seeder is used the following rates are generally considered adequate? Oats 2% bu. per acre, barley 2 bu. per | acre, and wheat 1% bu. per acre. Rates higher than these! rarely improve yields. and may - increase lodging. TIME OF SEEDING Early seeding is essential if ‘the best yields are to be obtain- | ed. Experiments with different | *geeding dats have consist en tly shown that late seeding gives lower yields and poorer quality

recommendations on weec sprays can be readily obtained. It is important to remember

that. if weeds sprays are used, they must be appled when. the plants are young. If left until the crop is nearly ready to head, spraying is likely to do more harm than good. VARIETIES— OATS pies Well adapted varieties should of course be used. Several varie- ties of oats have been shown to do well in P.E.I. If early matur- ity is required Fundy is the most satisfactory. In the medium to late maturing class both Garry and Abegweit are

‘ good. A new late maturing var-

iety called Dorval has given consistently high yields in test plots. For best results with Dor- val early seeding is essential. BARLEY

Three barley varieties are worthy of mention. Herta, a two- rowed- variety, is first choice. Under favorable cond itions yields of over 60 bus. els per acre are common with Herta but it does not do well on very acid soils. Here again a soil test prov- es its value. Charlottetown No. 80 is also a two-rowed variety and some farmers prefer it to Herta. It tolerates acid. soil bet- ter than Herta but has not pro- duced the high yields obtained with Herta under the best condi- tions of fertility. Among the six- rowed varieties the best choice

is Keytone. It is capable of pro- ducing high yields but the awns may be difficult to remove i threshing. si

While on the subject of barley it might be well to point out.that barley should not be grown 0 the same land two years in suc- cession. Barley is subject to cer- tain disease organisms that live in the soil and a second crop of barley on the same land is very liable to suffer from disease. WHEAT :
