Factory Farms

I see that Mr. Henry Ford is about to commence farming on a large scale. This development of agri- culture is “in the air." Mr. Ford has bought a numbcr of farms and is busy tearing down the fences and otherwise clearing the land prepar- atory to operating a sort oi factory- farm. Incidentally, he is paying $5 per day to the laborers.

A factory has these objects, it must produce more than could be done by individual effort; it must produce cheaply; and the nunlan el- ement must be kept at a minimum by the employment of machines. 1f

A strong vigorous man and womanhood 3T0 the greatest assets to any country and I might ask what is the farm coins for the young folks?

Ono evening not long ago I took a look backwards as it were alldln so doing I had to ask myself the question where are all our youne, people of twenty years ago? In 80- ing over the homes oi the district

factory farms succeed in the first two o! these objects they will pro- duce more cf what, in the opinion of the majority of farmers, is over- produced already, and their success in the third object will drive the men already on the land to the towns-to swell the ranks oi the un- employed lirom the overproduction of the factories there. I may be in sympathy with what the days to come may prove to be a passing stage oi agriculture, but I would rather see 1,000 men with iifty acres apiece, than a. soulless corporation farming 50,000 acres by the aid of

I find where we had some four or five young folk to the borne We n00‘ have I might say with few 9X69’!!- tlons one mun firms-

Bomo of those young people of a quarter oi a century ego have nllgrated to the sleet West the" to carve out their futures, others have entered professions but cnlllll not more of them have been absorb- ed at home. Might they not have been induced to settle here at home in place of becommlng bewers of wood and drawers oi water to the peoples of other lands.

not talk to the young people more about the farm and its problems, always holding up the attractive and sunny side? Why not take d real interest in the farm ourselves and not be always looking forward to the time when we can get away from it and becolne city people?

Young people are quick to take On the color oi the life about them sunlight kindles sunrise in their lives. Shadows depress and lure a.- way into the darkness. We do not set traps baited with vinegar to catch the honey bee. Sugar is what does the trick.

Other links binding the young to the farm are good books, papers and magazines. I would like to see good farm papers in every home in our country. They would be bonds 0f the finest type. The educational value of good papers can never be estimated. They are schools, private advisers and spiritual counsellor. The men who publish good clean, strong farm papers are doing more to mold the lives and characters 0f the generation now here and the men yet to be than any other agen- cies we have unless it is the church.

amples that may be quoted and it is the individual farmer who has received assistance, who realizes the immense benefit to himself, the community. or the whole count- ry, which results from timely. sound and practical advice and prompt preventive action. when an epidem- ic threatens, and steps are taken to prevent it, and if it is eventually successfully prevented, nn one is the wiser, generally, The prevention of plant disease epidemics is bot as spectacular as may be the control of an actual outbreak, but it is by far the most economic measure and saves thousands of dollars annually to the tax payers of Canada. It has been said repeatedly, that the cec- ret of success in all farming prac- tises is the reduction oi the cost of production. The elimination oi dis- eases alone is one of the most im- portant problems concerning the farmer, whether animal or crop (‘lis- eases. The farmers" of‘ Canada owe a. great debt oi gratitude to the na- tion wide Experlmcntai Farms sys- tem, acknowledged all over the world, by those who know what ag- ricultural experlmentatlon and rc- scarch means to any country, as among the foremost anywhere. Successful control of plant diseas- es has been demonstrated in num- erous instances. Suppose Late Blight of potatoes could not be con- trolled. Years ago, 1848, this disease was largely responsible for the Ir- ish potato famine, which eventually compelled hundreds oi Irish famil- lcs to emigrate. Today Late Blight can be controlled effectively and at small cost. The same ls the case with practically all the more com- mon diseases that occur epidemic- ally among our faril or orchard crops. But new diseases crop up from year to year and constant vig- ilance and devoted research is noc- cssary to prevent such from affect- ing agriculture detrlmcnially. ‘The Plant Pathologists, era-operating with the plant breeders of thc Ex- perimental Farm system are aiming at the production of strains of all kinds of crop plants immune to dis- ease. Success in this direction will further save the cost of control

It becomes readily apparent, therefore, that the leaf is an extremely important part of the potato plant and closely linked up with the production of tubers. Every portion of the leaf destroyed by insects or disease reduces tuber production in proportion to the ex- tent of the surface destroyed. The purpose of spraying, consequently. ls to protect the leaf surface from defects due to disease and insects. These defects unfortunately cannot be remedied after they appear. New leaf surface is constantly being added in the form of increased silt‘ of growing leaves and the addition of entirely new leaves.
