FACTS FOR FARMERS

By DAVID SMITH Field Crop Specialist

P.E.I. Dept. of Agriculture

The idea of seeding grass and legume sé¢eds without a compan. | fon-.crop such as Barley is not} widely practiced, There were. | however, abotit.15 farmers on| P.E.I. who tried it this year and: a smaller number who tried |

= it in 1965. In. th{s column_I want to tell how some of_these farm: ers fared out. oe

The research. officers at the Experimental:-Station have been seeding in this way for several | years. Off the Island this meth- | od of seeding has been used, you _micht say, in eastern Can- ada and all down through the “eastern United States. There are | some placed where thie method in considered as the ONLY me- thor’. of ena niianine forage stands.

There are different ways of} apvly'ng the seed: In ail. casés talked phout below, a machine celled a Brillion seeder was used. This machine consists —of | two heavy corrugated rollers with a seed hox meunted bee! tween the ro'lers. It is a Very heavy machir>. For instanes, =| five foot Bril'ion weidhs about |

In 1965 the Brillion seedér was lused at Wallace Woods farm in New Perth, Fenton ~Mayne's, Emer- ald and at the farm _of George Nicholson, Crapaud. George's ifield was seeded on June Ist. He | applied about 300 Ibs. of 6-12-12 iper acre. One quarter acre plots were seeded to mixtures of al- ifalfa, timothy and alfalfa, ‘brome and alfalfa, timothy and trefoil, ladino clover, trefoil and

'the common timothy, ted: clover

‘and alsikemix.

No doubt everyone ftememb- jers the hot dry season we had Hast summer. The majority of

'the seeds didn’t germinate until

late fall but fortunately they did get going and the small seedl- ings were lucky to live over wn-

iter. This spring George had a

different looking field. About

This spring was much more favourable for establishirig - for- ages. With a better season com- bined . with what we learned from the year before I am _ quite confident that this is the . best way to establish a wood ‘stand of forage.

the previous fall..They wanted to seed alfalfa, which meant the correct amount of lime as well as the proper fertilizer rate was very important. The soil test an- alysis called for about one ton of lime. In order to ensure a good stand 500 Ibs. of superphosphate,

400 Ibs. of 6-12-12 and 25 lbs. of borax was applied per acre. The alfalfa was seeded into a well drained field which had receiv- ed about. 2000 Ibs. of 6-12-12 for potatoes the previous. year. The field was seeded on May~ 4th.

This:early seeding is necessary as it allows five or six wéeks-for- the young seeds to germinate and get well rooted before the summer heat arrives.

It_is_not- every year that we can seed on May 4, but if a Bril- lion is used we could seed by at least the second or third week of

Any farmers who are interest- ed in improved foraze anc. corn varieties and seeding pracices are encouraged to talk with their neighbors who are trying out some of these new ideas and varieties. We recognize that a lot more people are also trying new methods as well, and only a few could be included here For further information contact

Saint Tehn oo Fire Set, | Chief Says

SAINT JOHN, N-B. (CP) — Fire Chief Millard F. Clifford of, | Saint John says a three-al arm fire which heavily damaged two tenement buildings and threat- | ened an entire block in this city’s east end Thursday was | definitely caused by; arson. Mr. | Clifford said a major fire which | broke out in a shed at 721 Bruns. | wick Dfive and spread to an | adjoining building, and a minor | outbreak ‘which damaged a gar- age at 729 Brunswick Drive |

“were both definitely set. of

There were no injuries in the | fires which left’ 17 persons homeless. They were the latest in a seris of blazes in slum areas of -the city, most of which have started in or near sheds and| under suspecious conditions.

Chief Clifford said he will or- der a full scale investigation in| to Thursday’s fires.

around one ton per acre. There are three things which | are;essefitial when seeding with- out a companion crop: These in- clude high fertility, early seed- ing and excellent weed control. If a poor job is done on any one of these three things than nine chances out of ten the result will crop failure.

OTHER DEMONSTRATIONS . Other farmers on which the Brillion Seeder was used this spring are: Scott Macarthur, Union Road, ‘Queens County Munro Wheeler, Montague Wilfred Furness, Vernon Bridge George Nicholson, Crapaud Sheldon Myers, Crapaud Horace Wright, Bedeque Leaman Caseley, Kensington Fenton Mayne, Emerald

In most cases the seed. mix- ture sown was used with a nurse crop of- oats, barley or mixed igrain.

|FALL CARE OF ALFALFA While on the subject of forage just a ae oo cutting or

This ep should never be ~ cut | between Sept. Ist and the first): ikilling frost. The reason for this is that it is during this time of year that the.plants are storing food reserves in order to survive the winter. ilf the plants are cut the amount of food reserves stored in the roots will be much léss atid ‘poor winter survival will result. It is alright to cut oF graze the alfalfa after the ‘first killing: frost.

CORN TRIALS

This year many of our local farmers have carried ut exper- ments with} corn varieties: A list of these farmers follows: George Nicholson, Crapaud: Clair May- hew, Margate; J.B. Maclsaac, Rock Barra; Norman Gi11is, Point Prim; Monty Kelly, New- ton; Brent Mutch, Cherry V al- ley; Sterling MacRae, Green- vale; Horace Wright and Son, Lower Bedeque: Eric Phillips,

CORN TOUR The farms are distributed over the Island and any one interest- ed’in growing corn would learn considerable from talking with | these farmers and <eeing She, different...varieties....On_Sept.—16 there will be a tour of these. plans:.and all interested are in- vited to attend. This tour is) sponsored by the Beef Produccrs Association, so we expect that many of its members will be in- terested in this tour. On Monday, August 2 there ‘was a forage meeting at the farm of Wallace Wood in Mar shfield. We had an eee to hear Dr. Lioyd MacLeod de- some of his demonstra- tion -plots, seedif; methods, weed control, and seeding mix- tures used in his different plots. It seems a shame that only nine farmers saw fit to attend. Expe tal Farm Plots Dr. Lloyd MacLeod, Research

Farm, Charlottetown put out a! series of forage plots this past): spring on four farms. These are | mainly designed for experiments | on fertilizer requirements. This year the plots were seeded out | ion May 15t.. without a nurse . Next year the Cert ex- ments will be st Wallace Wood, Marehficld “On this farm there are obser- | vation plots of Tiger and, Climax Timothy, Viking Birdsfoot Tre- foil, Wallace Birdsfoot Trefoil, Empire Birdsfoot’ Trefoil, Sara- toga ard Redpatch Bromegrass, and Rhizoma; Cayuga, Alfa.

foundland would judge who was telling the truth.

He quoted Mr. Smallwood as telling the legislature in April, 1964,that the premier had dis- cussed with Mr. Lesage an ex- change of Labrador and Quebec territory.

‘Where there is smoke there is fire; and the fact. that former premier Lesage’s statement . produced such -a violent reac. tion from. Premier _ Smallwood suggests that he struck an, ex- tremely tender spot.”

The Conservative leader said he is convinced—the boundary will never be moved but. Mr. Smallwood had ‘‘lashed out thoughtlessiy and * without re-

He said the negotiations were

‘not satisfactory.” .

Mr. Smallwood: reacted with characteristic blunt ness, In press statements and province- wide radio broadcasts he termed Mr. Lesage an “‘unmitl- gated-liar:’ if -reports quoting the Quebec leader were correct. He also spoke of “his crazy de- mands or proposals”-in connec- tion with Churchill Falls.

HELD TALKS

The Newfoundland premier acknowledged that Mr. P came to St. John’s and talked: with Mr: Curtis*and his deputy, Cyril Greene. But he said it had nothing to do with. the bound- ary. -

The purpose of these negotia-

tions was to get an agreement that Mr..L #8 age proposed to | the Newfoundland governnient | about other matters.” -Mr.

Smallwood did not disclose what these other matters were. He gave the impression they dealt: with the proposed sale of Chur- chili Falls power by the British

Newfoundland Corp. to Hydro Quebec, a Quebec government | agency. ; |

“Mr-~Pigeon-and-Mr:~Greene did ultimately agree on how the | {

the document. itself was never accepted by either of the two governments. The document | has nothing ‘to a whatsoever with changing the boundary.”

He said the Newfoundland government has no objection to making the document public. “It would expose Mr. Lesage for the liar that he is.”

‘We have worked very hard to get the Churchill power de- veloped and we will not slacken our effort to do so. But that water will run through all eter- nity without being developed rather than chance one single
