Preparing Sod Land for Grain

(Experimental Farms Note)

The proper preparation of sod land for grain bears a direct relationship to the yield. This is well borne out by experimental data collected over a period of years at the Nappan Ex- perimental Farm.

An experiment has been carried on for six years at Nappan comparing different treatments of the sod land previous to a grain crop, and noting the influence oi’ such orl the grain yields. The results to dais are as follows:-

l. Pioughing early in August, disk- ing the remainder of the season gave a yield of 45.4 bushels of oats per acne.

2. The same treatment as l, only ribbing late in the autumn gave a yield of 48.4 bushels per acre.

3. Ploughing in September, disk- Ing the A ‘ ‘ of the season gave 45.4 bushels per acre.

4. Ploughing in October, with disk- iug, gave 45.7 bushels per acre.

‘b. Ploughirlg in October, with no top working in the fall, gave 44.8 bushels per acre.

e. Pioughing in August, dlsklrlg and reploughing in late autumn gave cos bushels per acre.

'1. Ploughing in spring gave 43.9

bushels per acre. ' ‘Phase results show considerable difference between ploughing In the summer as soon as the hay is harv- ested, cr ploughing in spring lust pre- vious to seeding time. Between treat- ments 2 and 7_thls difference is 4.5 bushels, which at 70 cents per bushel, amounts to $3.15 per acre.

Anorther advantage of fall plough- ing is the saving of time in the spring when the land is ready to work. Each days delay at this time in the seed- ing of grain means e. decrease in yield and for this reason alone, as much of the preparation as possible should beaccompllshed the fall before, and right after haying is the time when "dull days may "be utilized to good od- ventags in preparing for next years grain crop. -

Another experiment startedlnlezz compares different depths of plough- ing autumn or spring for grain. Three series of plots are ploughed 5, 7 and 9 inches deep in the fall. The yields recorded over a six-year period are 46.4, 43.8 and 44.5 bushels of oats per acre respectively. The series ploughed 5 inches in the spring yielded 40.1 bushels and’ the 7-inch series, 38.7 bushels per acre. This shows again the value of ploughing in the fall and also ehows that" in heavy clay soils, such as these plots are on, deep ploughing is of no ad- vantage.

SUMMARY:-

Firstt-Plough as soorl after harvest as possible and disk thoroughly, so that little work is necessary at sef 1

seed bed.

Beeondz-r‘ ughlng from 5 to 6 inch- es in depth is as beneficial as deeper ploughing and is cheaper. Thlrdz-Two ploughlrlgs of sod land for grain were not in these experi- ments, an economical practice. Any unnecessary labour increases the cost of production. B. A. Hilton.

Potato Sets

(Experimental Farms Note)

For more than a century and a half investigatlonal work has been, under way to determine the best way to prepare and plant potato sets. Much of the data. present/rd in the literature is inconclusive. Many fact- ors including the seasons, moisture, supply of plant food and proper; spacing for eachslze of set has help-i ed produce many diversified and corl- i fllctlng deductions. Experiments have been conducted at the Char-f lottetown Experimental Station, and the results published in the annual reports. Irl recent years our Plant Pathology Laboratory has conducted experiments using cull potatoes from “certified seed"_ in their "size of set" experiments. Valuable lessons have been learned, also, from work done on the l2 Illustration Stations on Prince Edward Island.

Large sets including whole potatoes weighing 3 ounces or over have us- ually returned greater gross yields. They very seldom give the greatest net amount of marketable potatoes, when the extra seed required and the proportionate increase in culls is de- ducted. Certified seed potatoes weighing from 3 to 8 ounces and cut into sets averaging from 1% to 2 ounces, with 2 or more eyes, are rc- commended. The followlng rules are suggested:-

(l) Use immature certified seed po- taioes.

(2) Keep them in a cool place, dor- mant; sprouting in the dark before planting is injurious.

(3) Seed treatment is a wise invest- ment. '

(4) Sets lié to 2 ounces with two or more eyes are satisfactory. The odds are irl their favour over either large or smaller sets. v

(5) Plant. as soon as possible after cutting, and cover at once if you want largcylelds. .

(6) sets coated with land plaster’ or lime give increased yields. If they have to be held, tum frequently as they dry offs

('1) Plant only orl favourable days when the soil is in good tllth.

(81 Shallow planting with marker and horse hoe, in rows .32 to 38 inch- ea apart. has given excellent results.

(B) Crowd sets in the row to pre- vent oversize tubers. Some plant as

By those who have had experience ill spi-eyln; and dusting the impuri- ance of doing a thorough job, tak- ing sufficient time and exercising reasonable judgment in the hand- ling of the spray nozzle or dusting outlet so as to cover thoroughly all parts of the foliage with as little loss of material as possible, is well understood. The careless operator ls faced with the possibility of par- tial control or the pests or diseases. “nd this. even under favoarbie con- dltions, will not be satisfactory. i

A partial protection of the foliage against scab means infection and later development of the apl-‘le Si!" spores. These will spread from the icaf to tile fruit and the f~"~",'e afier all the spraying is through. To avoid this all foliage should he kept well ccafcd with spray or dust material from the breaking of the fruit buds to the last application ten days after the petals fall. A partial control of insects meam the carrying over of "eels from year to year. Even with (he most thorough work some insects will escape, but with ihe utmost care
