TOP DRESSING IlAY LAND

The manurlng of hey land by top . ...~ has been given trial at the y- rimental Farm. Nappan. Nova tia. One-half of a field ‘was .. .. with manure in the spirng tthe rate of twenty tons per acre, bile the other half was left un- . ted. In the autumn of the some or the treated section was again .. dressed at the rate of sixteen as per acre. The top dre§ing , ved profitable from the standpoint f yield, which amounted to 2.37 ions . the acre as a seven-year average . against 1.79 tons from the run- anured land. The drawback from e manuring was a rapid infesta- cn oi the soil with such weeds as x-eye daisy and icing devil, which re practically impossible to eradi- iite without the use oi a hoed crop - summer fallow.

SOME NOTES FROM A THE BE- PORT OF THE NATIONAL DAIRY COUNCIL

The export of farm produce from Denmark represent-s between B0 and 85 per cent of her total exports. and practically one-half of that is made up of dairy products. The figures for 1927 show that nearly 315,000,000 lbs. of butter were exported—about 71 pe rcent to Great Britain. There were also exported 11,650,000 lbs. of cheese (principally ‘to Germany), cs.- 250,000 lbs. of condensed milk and cream, and 350.400 lbs. of milk pow- der. '

There are, of coilrse. other branch- es of farm industry which are equal- ly pofitable but mention need only be made of the bacon trade.‘ In 1D- 27 rather more than 5.000.000 p185 were slaughtered in the 69 bacon fac- tories, (oi which 51 are co-operatlve and handle 76 per cent of the pigs.) The Danish farmer generally grows five pigs for every two’ cows in his herd, but the figures for 1927iki1- lings work outiat six pigsfor every two cows. So, in that year 564,000,- 000 lbs. of bacon and pork were ex- ported and Great Britain took 90 per cent of it.

Figure all this out at current prices and observe what a tidy sum goes to each oi Denmark's three and "a half million people.

Denmark's dairy cowl in that your were slightly more than 1,500,(D0 head, with an average annunlniilk production of 7,000 lbs. There has been a steady improvementin the ov- erage milk production for‘) many years, largely due to "herd associa- tions" who have regularly recrded

TOAMEND THE FISHERIES ACT.

An Act under this title is now be- foietheflbuse of Commons. For interpretive purposes, paragraphs now define (1) "fishing vessel" as any ship or boat or any other de- scrlptlon of vessel used-in fishing; and (f) "Canadian" as a British subject residing in Canada.

Power is sought to enable the Min- later of Fisheries to "cancel any ll- ceme illued under the authority of this (I? ‘ex-feel Act, ff the operations under such license are not conducted in conformity with law." This pow- er was previously questionable.

After touching on the sale of lob- stars‘ from "pounds" or enclosures, the lobster fishing seasons are now made statutory by the following para- graph " "28 A. The lobster fishing districts and seasons ‘ ' by Order in Coiincil of September 30th, 191B, as amended to January 29th, 1925, are hereby confirmed, except that in lob- lter fishing district No. 7 therein, thrfishlng season shall begin on May first in each year instead of April twenty-sixth." »

One can get the garden off to an early start and also grow those ten- der plants which requires a longer season than our climate allows, by starting many flowers and vegetables for the window box or hanging basket can also be produced in this way. flowers, zinnias, petunias, marlgolds, in fact practically any- thing except poppies, which do not readily. can be started under glass in March or April, and will benefit from being moved around a few times before they are placed in their permanent locations. the vegetable line, tomatoes, cabbage, head lettuce, cucumbers, melons, and even a few early beets, carrots, and corn, can be planted. A box a couple of inches deep with holes bored in the bottom for drainage and filled with sand, mixed with a little loam makes the best material for indoor planting. If such material available, the nearest green house man will be able to supply some. Moisien the earth, then mark off the rows, which need only be an inch flllart, sow the seed and cover the 110K tightly Viitha piece of sacking This covering will hasten germination, and prevent the seeds from being washed out. to get the plants started in a warm, dark cellar, and pushed up through the soil, remove the covering and place them in full Bllllllshii. at least a foot away from the glass, if it is single, or closer if a. storm window has been provided.

cultural paper published in Iowa in the centre of the hog belt, in its is- sue oi January 25th says editorially: “We are now advising our readers to have somewhat more brood sows on hand to far-row this spring, than they usually do. It seems the re- cent advance in corn prices has dis- couraged a number of hog men. Moreover, hog prices have not been Very attractive this winter. This double situation has resulted in a number of bred sows going to mar. kot." As a result of these condi- tlons and of the unsatisfactory prices of much of the past two years Mr. l-I A.

for Strawberries

The strawberry plant which is the first fruit, of the season to ap- pear, responds well to early feed- ng. Until the soil warms up the plants may suffer for want of nour- ishmcnt even in the lnldst of plant- ing. With] the arrival of! warm weather bacteriological forces in- crease in activity reducing the ab- undance of plant food later on. It is during the pericd previous to this time that plants are liable to suffer unless given some special attention. To determine the value of stimula- ting growth by rapid acting fertil- iiiur a trial was made with nitrate of soda. for the strawberry patch at the Kentville ‘N. S. Experimental Station. The variety of the straw- berry used in the test was Senator Dunlap. A uniform area in the plantation was selected and divided into three equal parts each treated differently. This work was coiltin- ued for five years and in his report

for 1927 the Superintendent, Mr. W.

Saxby Blair, gives the results ob- tained.

‘mesa show that for a five year period the application of 100 pounds cf nltmte of soda per acre applied broadcast over the plantation after the strawberry plants have started growth in the spring materially in- creases the yield of fruit. Heavier Bllplioevtlons, up to a limited point, have yielded correspondingly heav- ier crops. The average yields per acre covering five seasons were 6, 932 quarts, when treated with nit- rate of soda. ct the rate of 200 pounds per acre. 10o pound applic- ations yielded almost 500 quatrs less. Whore no nit-rate was appliedthe
