printed . The Feed Problem

"(In of the problems today in gelling ilve stock is a cheap supply sf succulent feed for the autumn. winter and spring. For autumn I would strongly recommend the av- srage farm should have from one to m acrss of fodder corn. Cattle are very fond of it. A very heavy tonnage can be grown cheaply l! suitable sorts are planted en or about June 1st. When a severe Juno frost is likely to occur alter the corn is coming up, I have sav- ed it by covering with a horse hoe and scuffling the clay away when the danger is over. The weather forecasts today are reliable enough p warn everyone of such a host. fie have had splendid success with ngfellow throughout the province. ‘In early season is always a good Lsorn year and we have had very heavy ynla from wisccnsin m. '1 ind hybrids of it crossed with Pwltchelrs Pride, a very early corn. “For winter feeding of dairy cows mu swine msngels are very satis- factory. They can be grown where turnips might be a failure, duo to club root. We have had heavy Molds annually, frequently exceed- ‘llls ills yields of swede turnips. This "Port shows the best sort exceeded the best swede turnips by almost lb tons per acre and 1 1-3 tons of dry mailer, which, of course, is the fsal food value.

are-our most common and universal succulent food for our stock during the winter in Prince Edward Island. YOU all know how to grow them successfully as long as you escape club root and brown-heart. Unfor- tunately both these diseases have become very prevalent throughout the province.

"In 1920 I secured a disease re- sistant swede turnip irom Denmark known as Bangholm selected. 1n 1923 I received a further supply from the same source. For many Wars the seed from these strains were almost entirely resistant to |c1ub root. In 1938_we had our sup- ply of seed burned in our dairy barn. We secured stock from those who had obtained seed from us and "started agalnJ This year we pro- duced about 1,000 pounds o! this seed from one acre of land and ex- pect that the Provincial Department of Agriculture will have it for sale to farmers. We have found some club root in this stock on badly in- fested land and have not only made careful selection of mother plants free from the disease on the worst infested areas, but have started again with some of the original seed that we had saved since 1920. There are many strains of Bangholm that are not resistant to club root and it was never claimed for them. We have tested ‘a great many of these and have found three strains of Bangholm and two strains of Wilhemsburger Oltcite to bs resistant. With re- ference to brown heart, Mr. Hurst tells me that heavy applications of barn yard manure is up to the pre. sent the only means that have been successful in overcoming this con. dltion. He claims that it is not a disease and has recently heard that along the north shore here you are not troubled with it. He thought that heavy applications of seaweed might account for this. 1 should be very glad to have your experience and suggestions about this phase cf the trouble.

Other Feeds Required

"Po have good live stock we re- quire other feeds-besides succulent

ones. We might discuss briefly first dry fodder: and then concent ates. Among the dry fodders there are none better for cattle than clover or

alfalfa. I know thst-1032 was an

o8 year for clovers almost every- where in the province. We have,

however, a very excellent new stand’ or clover and winters like the last

one for killing clover do not come

vcrv often in this province. We fra-

xuently learn from our difficulties

ven more than we do from auc. cesa. Where reasonable applications f ground limestone had been made ere were many fins stands of

dlover even this year. I feel that

Iilost of our farms, except on the

areas where we plan to grow seed

potatoes, would benefit much by an application of 1,000 pounds or more

d1‘ ground limestone. 1t would usu-

ally insure a good stand of clover

and that is not only a great soil

lmprover, but a most valuable live‘ stock feed.

“I am..told that a new plant for crushin: limestone has been estab- lished at Pugwash, N. 5., that the price there will be 83.50 per ton in bulk or 93.50 per ton bagged and that they expect a freight rate of $1.60 Pill‘ tcn to Island points. For Rustlco it might be possible for you through your shipping club or oth- er organization to bring it in by schooner and save on the haul from the station.

“Alfalfa also requires lime and most men have had crops at least equal to red clover when they sowed it with a thinly seeded nurse crop on good, rich, well drained land. Some have now had good crops for several years. I am pleased to be able to say that the disease that formerly made its growth hers un-

certain has not been seen in the

RALLY EARNS EVEN BREAK

NEW GLASGOW, Nov. ‘fa-Pic- tou County boxing fans saw a good demonstration of ring generalshlp here tonight when the main go be- tween Tiger Warrington, Liverpool colored scrapper, and Jack McKen- na, foxy Halifax veteran, went the full ten rounds to s. draw.

Coming through the first canto with even footing, the colored fighter registered an edge in the two succeeding wounds. McKenna flashed some telling blows in the fourth and carried the next two stanzas.

OPENED EYE WOUNDS Warrlngton found it hard to mix it up tonight. McKenna pour- ed out his bag of tricks which was

‘ climaxed in the third, fifth and

sixth by blows that opened the flew above the colored fighters eyes and in the succee" rounds managed to paw‘ the flesh enough to continue the page. McKcnna went to the" floor on many occa- sions but mostly the falls resulted from body attacks there being very few blows landed that were intend- ed to put the receiver to sleep.

McKennlrs weight was 173 while Warrington tipped the scales seven pounds heavier.

province for about six years. We have been seeding about four pounds per acre with all our grass mixtures and have quite a good sprinkling in our farm meadows. Our small plots have made excel- lent growth.

- Profitable Practice

"Before leaving the forage crops I think I should mention that throughout the province for many years we have about doubled the hay on our timothy meadows by the application of 100 pounds of sul- phate of ammonia or 120 pounds of nitrate of sods early in the spring. This is the most profitable farm practice that I can offer you to- night. The next is similar, the same application of nitrogen early in the season has wonderfully im- proved very ordlnarv pastures mak- lrlg them real good pastures capable of producing more than twice as much milk or carrying nearly three times as fmuch stock throughout the season. 1n 1931 we applied 100 pounds of superphosphates and 75 pounds of potash per acre to a. pas- ture. This increase’ the amount of milk on equal areas from 51167 pounds to 14,477 pounds and the cow days of pasture from 254 to 823 in 1931. In 1932 one hundred pounds of sulphate of ammonia only was applied on May 10th and this in- creased the milk yield from equal areas of similar land from 6,284 pounds to 21.359 pounds and the pasture cow days from 219 to 627. The carrying capacity was three times as great and the pounds of milk per acre per day for the sea- son was increased from 13 pounds to 44 pounds. ' "Our pastures should have enough stock on them to keep them close grazed throughout the season and yet good manageme must be used to prevent them from being too bare during dry periods. The new fresh grass before it is six inches high is very much richer in food value than when it is more mature.

Farm Grown Concentrates

"I would strongly recommend that-during these difficult times most of the concentrates for the live stock should be grown on the farm. Mixed grains will produce heavier crops and are more desir- able for feeding. Our work would indicate that about three bushels of oats, barley and peas sown with a drill or a heavier seeding b. adcasl: should give best returns. A mixture of 1% oats, ill barley and t6 bushel. peas, when good clean seed is used has produced a satisfactory crop. Banner oats has done well in this section and I would recommend that you should continue with it. It is one of our heaviest yleldin varie- Charlottefown No. 90 barley. which was a selection from Old Is- land two-rowed barley secured from Mr. Buntain here in Rustico, is the best barley I know of. It is also likely to be in demand for export, and may wall become a second cash crop which fits in very well with seed potato production.

“Golden Vine pea has done well. Some newer varieties such as Ar- thur and Early Blue may be better, but it is still difficult to get seed. "I believe I have spoken to you in this hall before on the value of WWW only good pure seed that will germinate up to standard of No. 1, or better. There is a surprising amount of W17 poor seed sown. some that is not even good feed grain, but I am sure that this-com- ing year you are all planning to sow the best ever to get the best crop

in 1m. Itsctuallypayswsllavsn time."

Compliments Jury on Report

His Lordship in discharging the Grand Jury, complimented them upon their report and the valuable recommendations they had made. Their suggestions were few, but they carried weight and substance, especially the recommendation in connection with the - dsoners. These were in the nature of s. reform and if acted upon might be the means of making better citizens of some at least of the inmates. Many of them may have had few opportuni- ties before and if only a single case benefitted and was placed upon the right road, it would be a step in the right direction. It was very impor- tant that these suggestions should be taken hold of and well tried out. In reference to the recommenda- tion that vehicles shouid carry lights, His Lordship said, it’ was strange that legislation to this ef- fect was not passed long ago. Bug- gies along the road without lights were a menace to all. They were a danger to themselves and also to the driver of a car who knows the peril both are placed in when as he is driving he suddenly comes upon a. buggy without any lights. It was a very unfair thing for anyone to drive on the road without lights. This suggestion was sound common sense and should not fail to have effect even before legislation could be passed in the matter.

The suggestion in regard to more care in granting licenses should al- so bc acted upon as people using the roads will never be safe until far more care is taken in this direc- tion and a better system put into force, for the granting of licenses to drivers of motor vehicles. The Jury were then discharged. Application was made for bail for the two prisoners and was granted. Sentners bail was fixed at $3,000 in his own recognizance and two sure- ties for $1,500 each. Cahlll's bail was fixed at $4,000 in his own recogniz- ance and two‘ sureties at $2,000 each. Court then adjourned until this morning at 11 o'clock when the petty jury will be empanellcd for the Sentner trial.

Judge's Address

His Lordship in opening his ad- dress to the Grand Jury said that the last time‘ he addressed a Grand Jury in Prince County there was a case of manslaughter 0n the bill of indictment. where a man hnd lost his life through a motor car accid- ent. Now there were two bills of indictment having to do with in- Jury done by motor cars, the first not ‘so serious, but the second, where it had been the cause of death of an elderly citizen of Sum- mersfde.

‘His lordship was pleased to see before him on the Grand Jury men who were able to deal with this matter intelligently and who no doubt had observed the difficulties of driving and the danger of care- less use of motor vehicles.

One of the greatest difficulties of the present day is the proper eon. trol of these powerful vehicles. He hoped that the Jury would bring in some recommendations that would help this situation. Everyone should

Some motorists make the assum - | tion that they are superior to the man who is walking and that when they blow their horn, the pedestrian must scurry out of the way. That. His Lordship declared, was an act of intolerable insolence.

We will always have accidents. unless drivers have a proper regard for others who are not in cars and also for the other driver. We have too many reckless and ill-manner- ed drivers. The motor car is a very powerful machine and should only be in the hands of competent men and women. ‘There are many driv- ers who are careless and indifferent to the rights of others.

His Lordship trusted that the Jury would frame some statement that would be of service and give some instructive‘ advice to the public in general in this very important mat- ter.

His lordship also remarked on the number of prisoners servlns sen nce in the Jail for various of- fences.
