ties of alfalfa and hybrid corn were also tested in 1958.

An interesting comparison was | made between corn and marrow- stem kale for fall feeding. Kale produced 24.9 tons of green material and 2.6 tons of dry mat- ter per acre. An average of eight corn, hybrids gave 24.2 tons of green material and 3.8 tons of | dry matter per acre. Although | corn was considerably higher in dry matter, kale should prove more successful as a fall feed in areas where early frost is a pro- blem.

HORTICULTURE

Each year Prince Edward- Is- land farmers have large quan- tities of cull potatoes to dispose of. An experiment-conducted over a three year period confirmed the opinioh, that potatoes are use- ful and an'ecoriomical feed for the cairy cow. Twenty Ibs. per. day, fed-in. combination withhay and grain, makes ‘a suitable ra- tion:

AGRICULEURE

Studies were contineud on the | drugs in the control of bee dis- eases, and the Comparing of hy- brid queens with a commercial strain. In a co-operative project

with the Horticultural Division, |

the value of bees as a pollinator for cucumbers was studied. J Growers of specialized crops are showing more interest in bees as pollinators, and the first time in this Province 60.colonies were rented for thisypurpese by a com- mercial blueberry grower. Preliminary estimates -indicate that 71,000 Ibs. of honey were

“produced in 1958 by 100 bee-

keepers with 1000 colonies of bees. This is higher than the 1957 crop, but 15 Ibs. lower than the 10 vear average.

CEREAL €ROPS 3 z

Grain crops Were. generally healthy in 1958, and large crops of* good quality grajn were pro- duced. Unfortunately, many ex- cellent ficlds -were well past the ripe stage when harvested; in such cases. yield and quality were greatly reduced. ;

The’ Forage Division Charlottetown Farm began a series of experiments wii" birds- foot trefoil in 1958, as well as carrying on with pasture research and variety tests. Birdsfoot tre- fol has been grown with some success *but, in most . cases, it lacked the vigor and hardy quali- lies of red clover. The present, in- vestigation is designed . to» give

The most important questions, of course, are winter hardiness and persistence. Birdsfoot trefoil cannot. compete with red clover as a first year crop but, with proper care, if may persist in the second and third hay years. Re- sults from the present experi ments cowl give a good, esti-

Three New Potato Varieties— Three new potato varieties origin- ated at the Experimental Farm, Fredericton, New Brunswick, and were thoroughly jested under local conditions. , y are being multiplied-in this Province for general sale and distribution. The most important of these is Fundy. This is an early, high-yielding variety of excellent quality and appearance. Huron is a late pro- ductive, scab resistant potato selected particularly for Ontario | -cogditions: and the other variety, Agon, is especially valuable for early chipping. It is expected that |

three will find a place in gen- jeral commerce. CRANBERRY PRODUCTION

An interesting new material | called Weedazol is: now’ being used in our cranberry plots at Blooming Point. Experiménts have shown that Weedazol gives.

many broadleaved weeds and may be used with sulphate of ammonia with very outstanding results. Native plants grown under the conditions have yielded as much as five tons tq tHe acre, while the Early Black variety has yielded about three tons per acre. The chief advantages in growing Early. Blacks are their early maturity and high color. : STRAWBERRIES

Virus-Free Strawberries — A large new screen house for. the multiplication of nuclear straw- berry ctocks was erected at the Farm in 1958. The plants, which are virus indexed at Ottawa, are grown in this house for one year and are then farther multiplied for at least one season before be- ing released to growers for” in- crease. Just as soon \as_ this scheme gets underway, it will not be necessary to import virus- free strawberries from outside points and this should correct many of the difficulties experienc- ed-in-reeent-years. ~ FOR PACK .

ILLUSTRATION STATIONS

Six -Ilustration Stations, es- tablished on five major soil types and modifications thereof, serve the farmers of Prince Edward istand. Two additional stations in the. Magdalen Islands, Quebec, are under’ the general adminis- tration of the Experimental | Farm, Charlottetown. These pri- | vately owned farms, comprising some 700 acres of crop land, are operated on a co-operative agree- ment between the owners and the Experimental Farms Service.

Stations are- presently located on farms owned by T. <A. Hicken, Alliston; Hugh J. MacDonald, Monticello; William FE. Johnstone, Long River; Robert Woodside and Son, Knutsford: John W. Mac- | Kenzie and Son, Rose Valley; and Zenon Gallant, Urbanville. In the Magdalen Islands, stations are located..on farms owned by Edverd Bouffard, _Boisville,

| Grindstone Island: and Alberie

Lapierre, Portage du Cap, Am- herst Island. efit

Within recent years, there has been a consistent broadening of the scope of divisional work. Fact | finding studies are, in some in-| stances, being pursued jointly at | illustration stations by various specialized divisions on a* co- operative basis. Problems as- Sociated with soil fertility crop acaption, cultural practices, weed, disease and insect control are being evaluated under a wide range of soil and climatic con- ditions, fepresenting an extension of the comprehensive research

work carried on. at the Experi- mental F F'nancial aspects of the farm

business on each station ate being studied with a view to determine | cash returns and expenditures as- sociated with each individual farm enterprise. It is interesting to observe that during the past five years cattle contributed 37.1 percent toward total’ cash re- ceipts at six stations. Field crops, standing in second place, con- tributed 23.2 percent toward total farm revenue. Next in line of im- portance. was poultry, contribut- ing an average of 15.1 percent and hogs.-14.9 percent toward total casa incofke.

In co-operation with the Fores- try Division, Provincial - Depart- ment of Agriculture, wood lot management studies; featuring selective cutting, are being under- taken at the Alliston, New Lon- don, Rose Valley and Urbanville stations. ©

In the absence of fertilizer, 10 tons of manure per acre applied as.a fall dressing, one every three years, gave rise to yield in- creases over untreated plots amounting to 1.31 tons in June; 0.54 tons. in July; 0.46 tons in August; 0.93 tons i ember and 0.54 tons of gr herbage per acre in October.

In combination with annual fall applications of fertilizer, (500 lb. 6-12-12 per aére), manure gave rise to yield increases amourting to 1.48 tons in June; 0.56 tons in July; 0.58 tons in August; 0.99 tons in September and. 0.60 tons of herbage per acre in October,

In other words, for each ton of manure applied, the annual re turn was .95 tons per acre of a highly nutritive feed.

POULTRY

Investigations in poultry breed- ing and management are current- ly being conducted at the Experi- mental Farm, Charlottetown. Equal emphasis is placed on work with meat-preducing and egg-producing strains of domestic fowl. ve

Various mettods of selection for improving broilers are’ being compared. The Ottawa Meat Con- trol Strain, a strain specially -de- veloped for experimental work, is being used in this project. It is hoped that practical recommen- dations as well as fundamental knowledge of the genetics of the fowl may be derived.

All breeding in this project is by artificial insemination. This technique is not new to the poul- try industry but apparently i is being used for the first time in Prince Edward Island. The main value of artificial insemination in poultry breeding is that pedigree matings may be conducted with- out elaborate housing facilities; For instance, the use fifty males in pedigree matings by natural mating, fifty small breeding pens must be used: by artificial insemination, males are kept in cages and females are housed in one or more large floor pens.

The management procedure of restricting the feed intake of growing puilets while on range is being compared with full-feeding. White Leghorns are used. This stady has yielded consistent re- sults favoring restricted feeding at the levels tested. Data obtain- ed during the course of the pro- jeet_are_also being_used_in funda- | mental genetic studies. :

Some egg quality work is con- ducted in-conjunction with studies of restricted vs. full-feeding. SOIL LABORATORY

During 1958, the research work conducted by the Soil Laboratory Section was concerned with ‘‘Ef- fect of Different Combinations of Nitrogen, Phosphorous and Potas- sium on Grain (Oats)’’ and ‘‘The Evaluation of Different Sources of Nitrogen for Different Crops. These studies were conducted on several soil types.

The response to the different combinations of fertilizers varied
