Try Fascinating Farming Experiment ‘In N. Alberta

FORT VERMILI‘ON, Alts. (OF) The business of agriculture is being gi‘en a new twist in this northern Alberta district as an Arizona farmer carries out a fas- cinating experiment.

WayneWright is raising alfalfa, .wheat and timothy seed and mak- i‘.» , use of the busy bee to pro- duce what he hopes eventually will be tremendous yields from land that has broken hearts and bankroll-s of the few who we ceded him in the area. 1'

He is Working 350 miles north- west of Edmonton on a project- ing point along the Peace River, cut off from the rest of this Fort Vermilion district bymuskeg and swamps. '

To obtain the yields he believes.

possible—with two early frosts in .1

a row in 1956 and 1957 he is work- ing on theory only—Mr. Wright is doing an unusual hit of farming.

The Wright fields are uamow strips, 500 feet wide, 500 feet

of timber and undenbrush separ- ating each strip from its neigh-

bor. Trash is piled up in the centre. of each strip. HOMES FOR BEES

Take away all the trash, clear all the fields and the bees leave. says Mr. Wright—and the bees are‘needed to produce big seed crops.’ .

“I'm not talking about honey bees,” he says. “I mean bumble bees and what we call leaf<cut- ter bees. Bumble, bees make their nests in areas of undis-

turbed sod and trash and leaf:

cutter bees in rotting logs."

In 1925 Mr. and Mrs. Wright established a seed farm in an iso- lated corner of Arizona. Their c ps had to be- irrigated and they produced high yields. But as more people moved into the area, e crops began to fallback to normal yields;

Agricultural authorities 11 ad been interested for years in the reason for high yields in remote areas and average yields in set- tled regions.

Mr. Wright moved to Canada in 1951 for Mo reasons: 'Dhere is little country suitable for farming in the U.S. which has not been cleared, and to produce the newly developed strains in which he specializes, he must use ' land which has not been seeded to other crops,

The Wrights took over 7,400 acres here on a 20-year lease b:.-sis. The land had been de- clared unsuitable for settlement because it is broken by muskeg into areas uneconomic in size for grain farming.

Mr. Wright has about 300 acres

Energy Experts Disagree bn Value Of Russians’ Papers

By DAVE ' OANCIA

Canadian Press Staff Writer

O‘N‘TiRtElAIL (OP) —. Western energy experts generally agreed Thursday that the value of Rus» sian contributions to the world power conference is increasing, but a few questioned the reliabil- ity of some of the Russian claims.

Sir John .Hacking, a British power consultant, said Russian research and development work in the energy field is “of a high order’? and reports on it are be.- coming more valuable. ‘ ‘

But chief engineer Sven 0. La- lander of the Swedish State Power Board said the reality of some of the Soviet claims is

under cultivation, of which 650 acres is seeded to vernal and rambler alfalfa. Another 150 acres is planted in newly - de- veloped summit crested wheat and the balance to climax tim- othy.

doubtful.

“It’s always difficult to know from their reports what the Bus- sians have in operation, what they are planning and what they are doing," he said.

SIMILAR VIEW

A similar sentiment was ex- pressed earlier this week by Sir Ian Horobin, British parliamen— tary secretary to the ministry of

.power. He said the Russians have

“a bad habit of getting their tenses mixed up” in their reports to international conferences. 'Sir Ian flew here for the Montreal meeting after attending some of the sessions of the Geneva atoms- .forapeace conference. v ”

Sir John and Mr. Lalander made their comments during the

4

final press briefing at the conclu- sion of the conference of roughly 1,000 delegates from 51 countries.

Also participating were F. M. Sayers of Atomic Energy of Can. ada Limited; Kilshaw M. IlI'Wlll of the Philadelphia Power Com~ party and Francis P. Adams of the United States Federal Power Commission.

Sir John said the Russians seem to be tackling the problem of meeting their country’s energy needs realistically. But it was dif- ﬁcult to get information on their wonk because all research was done in an air of semi—secrecy. They also disclosed fewer details than scientists in Western coun- tries.

The five power experts agreed there was little chance the world would run out of energy resources in the near future.
