Address

On Farm Management

The following address on fsrm management wee given by Dr. J. A. Clark, superintendent of the Chsrlottetown lbiperlznentsl Fum st tho field dsy st Rilstico this

week.

The subject assigned to me to- day is not only of greit. importance and very wide in its scope. but ev- ery day the need of improving our methods of farm amgement be- comes more necessary as we face

- the problems of war economy end

the requirements of our EmPlTe and her Allies.

Bock in 1903, Dr. Roberts in his "Farmer! Business Handbook" quoted: "The farmer should be e scientific man." He said: “I 11KB l0 think of him. also, as a. business man. In fact, unless lie i8 l 800d business mun he is not a 8°°d m“ mer." If that. were true forty years ago, it is true today. Twenty-ill?" years ago, during the Great War, I wrote a tunic pocket DBmPlllei 0“ "Farm Accounts" for the farmers in the Canadian Army. Men who were coming back not only to grow crops, but. to buy and sell, to take their place in the homeland in com- petition with conditions, pests and far more difficult than the average business man {R098-

Dr. Cyril G. Hopkins, of Illin- ois, stated: "The first business of every farmer is to reduce the fer- tility of the soil by removing the largest crops of which the soil is capable; but ultimate failure re- sults unless provision is made for restoring and maintaining produc- tiveness."

That, I believe, should be our aim. Not only to succeed ourselves in perhaps the most difficult oc- cupation there is today. but to leave for those that come after us, the land, the most essential pari- 0f any state. in as good orbetter oon- dition than when it was secured by us.

Slit Essential Factors

Now crop production has six es- sential factors: Seed, s. home for tho plant. Food, Moisture. Hoot and Light. The most important of these is plant food. ti: is, I believe. the most neglected of sfl. It ll WW inst as farmers. we have whiff“ over the seed and the seed-bed or home for the plant. The time essentials, moisture. heat and 118!" are given to us. and we have little or no control except that we should arrange our cropping plans so that the moisture which is so essential. may not cause erosion and carry away the most valuable constituents of the soil. I will speak of these. and of the importance of seed, in more detail later.

Farm management takes under consideration. first. of ell, the selec- tion of the farm end the site. which should be edspted to the type farming to beemployed. Considera- tion such as nearness to school. church and marketing faculties should all be taken into ecwuni then, having chosen the farm, the location of the farmstead or home is exceedingly important. We have heIf-‘l, today. at. this Illustration sta- tion in Rustico, a veryfine example of the location of the farmstead in approximately the center of the farm so that the movement of irri- plements to and from work, the taking of the cattle to end from pasture, etc. are all done with a minimum of labour and time. Ad- vantage should be taken of the lo- cation of springs of water and streams, which, I believe, should influence us in choosing which fields should be in permanent pas- ture. This is partly due to the fact. that good water is essential

l" foi- livestock and that usually where

you have e. stream, them is s con- siderable srea of land that is of more value when left for grazing than when used for any type of farm crop.

Now, just a. word about rotations.

g As you know, st. Charlottetown. we

have experimented with quite s

Cl number of different types. You also

know tlut the most general type of rotation in Prince Edward Is- land forty years ago was the Scar.- tish seven yesr rotation, and this had many important features to recommend it. First of all it did supply roots, is considerable quan- tity of grain, and an abundance of hay for mixed farming. Perhnns more important than that, the seven year rotation provided for two years in hay and two additional years in pasture or hey and this long period between one hoed crop and another. no doubt is respon- sible for freedom from disease of many of our principal crops. This is particularly true of club root oi’ turnips, certain parasites of cereals such ss nematodes, end so far as l‘ know, under this system, clover sickness was unknown.

However, with the coming of oth-

MIs- R. D. MacDonald, Peakes Ste. tion are her two daughters, Mrs, J. I-Iollender (Granville) and Miss Georgie. Mrs. Hollander, who lives in Irvington, New Jersey is u. companicd by oer husband who l; visiting Prince Edward Island for the first time and is greatly pleas. ed with the scenic beauties and in. vigorating climate. Mrs. MacDon. aids two sons. Silt. J. L. and Lance Corporal Leonard of the P. E. I. Highlanders arrived home on 8st- urdiiy from Vnicartier, Quebec. and left again on ‘Tuesday morning u; loin their unit. on the previous ev- ening meny friends gathered to their home to extend their we]. come.

ei- then mixed farming. shorter ro- tations were believed to have ed- ventages such as the three year rotation of heed crops, grain and clover for such cash crops n; po- tatoes and turnips. The clover, of course, being ploughed down in pie-

'pni‘atl0ll for snot-he crop of pots- toes. We have found thst. 0n this Ilnrm. for insmnce. the four yes: rotstlon recommended by Mr. John Fixler, the first Chief Supervisor. wee not sdspted to our conditions. It did produce, on the area on which it was located, a very large proportion of hoed crops. more than most farms have sufficient manure to produce successfully un- less they buv large quantities of fertilizer snd have some satisfac- tory market for a cash crop such as potatoes or turnip-i.

Posture Management

We believed that an improved pasture would reduce the cost of production of live stock and dairy products and I am sure thlii from the observations you have made to- day down in Mr. Clark's pasture. that you will agree with me that this type of pastuie will actually produce large quantities of essen- tial forage high in protein. at s. much less cost. than any other crop that we can EPW1-

In order to establish such a. pas- ture, while it is not essential that pasture grasses and clovers are sown, it is also necessary, under our conditions, to apply a certain definite of ""- ‘ such as leaving the land out long enough in pasture so that the most valuable types of plants, such as wild white clover, will become es- tablished. ‘This usually requires four years or more. The pasture should be grand as early in the spring as animals csn be put 0n it without danger to the land of punching holes and sufficient stock £|Y01lld be on it during late MW and early June so that it can be kept close grazed.

Should this be impossible, the pasture should be clipped by run- ning the hay mower a! a. height of 3 or 4 inches over it once or twice during Juno GI‘ early July. Even though most of the pasture is close- ly grazed. the clipping will cut off the bunches of gross that are us- ually left in the pasture, and just s; soon as the [my mower cute these bunches and moves them off from where they grew the cattle wilt readily eet them.

Then. during the middle of sum- mer when the pastures get dry. the 'csttle should be removed to other fields where they can be supplied with such annual pastures as oat-s or mixed grain. Provision should be made for soiling crops such as com or mixed grain during the early autumn when pastures are often dry. Then, later on, the pasture can be closely grazed, almost into win- ten. It is true that the grasses and clover should have a chance to recover and grow to s. height oi’ three co- fcur inches before winter sets in.

I was telklng of farm rotations and I believe that, while the seven year rotation has been very bene- ficisl on P. m. Island. most farms can use to advantl-Ee s 81X- year rotation With the bbml-DBT- manent pasture I have mentioned- It. would be iii-ranged somewhat u follows: Hoed crop, grain seeded out, clover, timothy for two years or one year hey and one year pas- ture. and the sod broken for grain. We usually seed clover with this grain to form a fair amount of val- uable plants and roots to plough llnder in preparation for the next hoed crop which starts the repeti- tion of the rotation. The important part of the matter in connection witii farm rotations, is that a. def- inite piari suitable to the cOIIEllIlOHI of that particular farm, should be drawn up and while it may not be possible to follow this plan absol- utely, it is a very great help to have s definite succession of crops.

Boll Erosion

I would like to speak very briefly on the importance and need of some control to prevent soil eros- ion on our farms. P. E. Island soils are mostly sandy loam and so for as I know, are much more subject to sheet erosion than my others that I have had experience with. We have become so accustom- ed to see the run-off from show- ers make our streams and rivers muddy that we think of it as in- evitablc. This is the strongest evi- dence that our moat valuable soil constituents have been carried a- way from our farms and have fill- ed up our streams and rivers bot- toms. ao much so that when the Hllisborough Bridge was built. I understand they had to dig through 90 ft. of mud before they got on solid foundation. Lest year, on a 2 l-il per cent grade, which you would not think cf as a hill at all, f new gullles cut in e, field follow- ing heavy summer reins, i1 feet deep and 8 feet wide. It is true thet this was n lsrgc area of NI] ground. but practically every field that was red lest summer during the months of August and Septem- ber, had gullies cut in them from ordinary rains.
