"There are indications that we will have quite a large number of organized groups of farmers not only from P. E. I. but the oth-.r provinces," stated Mr. Parent. "we will likely have several meetings of one or more groups under th- Colombo Plan agreements and in addition we are preparing for it large number or visitors and a ser- ies or field days," he added.

Main Office Extension

The coiistructlon of the extens- ion to the main office has almost been completed. The soil laborat-

expected to be ready for use this fall.

One new member is being added to the pemianent staff this year. He is Keith LeLacheur. who will graduate from MacDonald College aiid who will assist Mr. D. C. Schurman in forage work co'm- menclng in May.

Five students are being employ- ed for the summer. They are Messrs. Fred Stewart. a first year veterinary student at O.V.C.: David Hurst. medical student at Queen's

New Projects '

Two new projects are under way this year. he reported. The first project with White Leghorns is a more intensive system of selection for production purposes based on the family group system of select- ion

To do the most satisfactory work for this type of selection large numbers of birds are neces- sary, stated Mr. Tinney. The Charlottetown Station is one of six cooperating stations with rec-

The flock at the Charlottetown station consists of pure Broad Breasted Whites. pure New Hamp- shire Whites and a cross of the two breads. A certain number of birds were killed at the twelve week broiler stage. A further number of cockerels were carried through until they were six months of age and killed as roast- ers. The pullets are now in laying quarters completing their first laying year. In all cases it is pos- sible frcni the record to tompare the two pure breeds and the cross.

The objective of the work at Charlottetown, stated Mr. Tinncy. is to retain the excellent character- istics of the Broad Breasted White. select for egg production and at the same time determine if this new breed will prove valuable in crossing with some of the present standard breeds in developing a top quality, fast growing broiler

Soil survey Program

Mr. G.B. Whlteside. Assistant to the superinendent in Soil Anal- yses and Soil survey, outlined xi ioiir paint program for the coming summer.

The first point is the conducting of a detailed survey or the organic peat and muck soil deposits in the Province. In this phase or the soil improvement program an attempt will be made to learn the extent oi" the peat. Representative examples with the object of learning if they can be utilized for adding humus to the soil, will be obtained and studied. The accessibility of the peat will also be determined.

Another detailed survey will study the effect and rate of erosion in the Province will be

cow manure plus woody peat in the gutter; compost; cow manure from pen barn; alder mud; an ad- ditional plot or cow manure plus an additional amount of straw equivalent to that produced by grain crop of the same area; and sea weed. ' Another experiment involves the growing of potatoes continuously on the same. ground in comparison with the growing of potatoes in three year roatioii, stated Mr. Bos- well. Each series is subjected to various soil fertility treatments. Another project which is being started this year will see the studying of different rates and for- mulae of fertilizers for potatoes in three year rotation. In addition to

fertilizing the potato crop, the sub- sequent grain and hay" crops will receive an additional amount of the fertilizer formula which was applied to potatoes on that plot.' It is hoped that this practise of fertilizing all crops in rotation willl result in more home grown l'il;.'l1l quality feed for island livestockf stated Mr. Boswell. .

Pasture projects studying the use of single species of grasses for pris- turc were begun liist ycarand thcsel grasses will be rotationally pastur-l ed this year as they come into pro-l ductlon.

l Illustration Stations l l

Mr. Norman Black. Assistant to the Superintendent in Illustration Stations. stated that there are now' seven such stations in opcrationy throughout the province. These stations are located at Alliston.l Iona. Monticello, New Loiidon.l 0' ary. Rose Valley, and Urbain-

Both these experiments will take two or three years. stated Mr. Whiteslde.

In addition to these tests, that field plot. experiments with graiiil to study the response of the dit-I ferent, fertilizer treatments on tlto various types of soil. will be car- ried out. This work is done in the greenhouse as well as outdoors.

The soil advisory work for fami- ers in the spring and fall will also be continued. Mir. whiteslde re- ports that an increasing iiuinhcr or farmers are taking good advantage of this opportunity to have their

"To this end we are testing 318 varieties and strains this season." he added. Plots used will be small but will be replicated four times in nu effort to get a true picture of possible resistance.

In oats attention will he directed to increasing the supply of regis- tered Abegwelt, he reported. The strain of Abegweit approved for registration has given apppreciably higher yields than the original and it is hoped that a limited quantity 01 registered seed will be made available to farmers in thesprlng of 1953. added Mr. MacLaren.

In addition the regular variety test of oats Will be conducted and a number at hybrid lines with the improved Abegwelt string as one parent will be under observation. it was stated.

The variety test of oats will in- clude plots at four illustration sta- ions in addition to those grown at cliarlottetoivn.

There are no particularly new developments in wheat other than that a ionslclerable quantity of Acadia wll be grown for distrlbu. tion next spring provided that it does as well under field conditions as it has in small plots, said Mr. Macharen.

Purity Tests

A new feature of cereal work this season will be purity tests of sam. ples of wheat, oats and barley pro. vlded by the Plant Porducts Divi- alon. some 75 samples drawn from commercial lots of grain will be grown in rod row plots and check.

Plots receiving initial applica- tlon of manure are to receive sub- sequent light applications once every three years. Manurcd plots are to receive supplementary ap- plications of a 5-i0-10 fertilizer at 600 lbs. per acre annually.

One plot is to receive fertlliz.er in the fall; one in the spring and a third manured plot is to receive 300 lbs. of.5-10-10 per acre in the fall and an additional 300 pound application in mid-July when the lush spring growth has begun to fall off.

One plot is being reserved to
