Poultry

Do chickens need pastures? Yes. In recent years the economical poultry raiser ha; found green feeds very advantageous in his rearing practices. We know we are short of animal proteins. Plenty of lend- er succulent green leer. will help immensely to grow our chickens. One quarter of the chickenm daily feed consumption may be entirely greenfeed. Good green feeds are equal to milk as a source of the growth‘ factor vitamin.

Plan now to make available good pasture for rearing your chicks. Cereal asture; give the best re- sults al ough permanent seedings of clover and grasses may be usedl with fairly good Where permanent pastures are used they should be frequently cut back to prevent rank, coarse growth. Early varieties of oats sown four bushels per acre give maximiun leaf growth and seem to bc the most palatable grain to use for cereal pas- ture. successive seeding; two weeks apart till June should be made. During June com and tape should be gown to supply green feed and shade for the late summer Sow the corn in drills about one foot apart, or everv other spout. with drill feed Wide open. Rape should be sown broadcast at the rate 10 pounds to the acre. All cereal pasture cro s should be sown in stripsjrom 20 o 30 feet wide, and the birds moved as each successive cmp is ready. cereal crops are usually ready to pasture about 30 days after date of should pasture

But did ‘not buy the old gray devil." You know the old-fashioned. hand-tamed grindswne has pro- bably done as much to drive boys away from the farm as anv other one thing I used to count the sec- tions on the mower knife as Uncle Ed ground each one to a razor edge. and it seemed to me that bar was a hundred feet long and the sec- tions without number.

All that is past now for the fai-zn boys of l/ZJQBY; or at least it can be for most of them, because most of our farms have electric power. and a small motor to turn a grindstone cmts very litale. As a matter of fact. thousands of grlndstcnes are being turned by old motors retrieved from discarded washing machines and rc- frigerators.

Growing Corn

There ll a. general impression, that due to the nature of our win- ter and spring season that our clover and hay lands may have suf- fered w some extent and the crop may be somewhat short, We would direct attention to the need in al- most any year of supplying supple- ment in the form of corn or other crops. Inst vear W35 a particularly

d season for corn in this prov- noe, and with conditions favour- aible. we can grew a heavy produc- tion of roughages, which help out very materially during the early ant". late fall season. A silo is not at all an essential part of our equip- ment, but corn may be used after being properly shocked until a late date in the fall or early winter and thus save other roughimes which may be short in production. For many years the Longfellow variety was the popular corn on Prince Ed- ward Island. The tendency, how- ever, at the resent time, is toward the Algonqun Hybrid, which has proved an exceedingly good variety to grow in this province. There are also other new varieties of com. but they are more or less under experi- mentation as yet. In any event, our funnel-s are directed w the desira- bility of providing for g patch of corn during this present year, It would almost appear as if our cattle population has expanded to a very

Provincial Governments for increased quantities ls a war mel- sure during i943 of butter, cheese and hog pmducts We have urged upon our farmer; the great need of expanding their production in these and other flelcls to the fullest DOI- sible extent. We also realise that there is a tremenduous labour shortage, and we have the oom- ctitlon of the attractive prices to which we refer. Dairy cattle, how- ever going out from our shores to foreign market; will no doubt be utilized for the pmrpcse of supply- ing fluid mill: to a domestic trade and to the extent that these cup- plles go to that foreign domestic. trade, our supplies of chem, requir- ed to meet our 150 million und contract Overseas and or utter required internally and for our Mili- tary Fbrces, will be correspondingly reduced. with hogs. too 1e feel that a large pal-t of the demand for little pigs is from individual growers who keep a pllg or two for their own use. Possibly a substantial portion of the export will also go into domestic consumption. At the same time, this province has a large number of its sons on the battle llflld; of Europe and these men need, as a. war ne- cessity, these products which are produced on Prince Edward Island farms. In the long run and on the lverlie. l think it will be found that the present market levels for our products will give a return, in view of general fccd conditions and our Free Freight Policy on western roligh 8min that will compare favourably with thme returns which may be ncured from the trade to which I have referred. This does not mean at all that every farmer is asked to stop selling cattle, horses, sheep or hogs for export or domestic trade. it does mean that a thorough investigation should be made of every phase of this development M it effects; our war effort and that the full quota of materials that 'he farmer is able to handle should be retained for productive purposes ccncemed with food supplies for the war effort Iodine Nccasary For Livestock Plants appear to need less iocine than animals and this is why crops grown in certain districts. even if abundant. will not always furnish a. sufficient amount of iodine to meet farm animal ienuirements.
