GROWING GRAIN. 4 Paper Heed Before the Bairyinea’s A:so:fution BY MR. FRANCIS BAIN, NORTH RIVER }On such ground, dry, clean, and rich. sow oT! One sf the most admirable fea‘ures Prince Elward Island is, that it is suited to |the rounded absolute of farming. The Stockman finds on the soft sweet herbage of ‘its dwelling, pastures and its luxuriant _meadows, the most generous support for his highly prized animals. Reot crops of the |very highest quality are produced from its ‘open, generous soil; and net less do the ‘broad grain fields, spreading in Autumn their golden riches all over our land, attest its eminent qualifications as a grain produc- ing country. Hitherto grain has been our great agricul- tural product. When the rich forest shadows were first swept from our soil, the little stump encumbered patch that sur- rounded the settler’s cabin, was devoted to an oat crop for successive seasons. And when the last remnants of the ancient forest giants were disloged from their foot- hold in the seil, and the farmer secured a clear space where he might freely drive his team afie'd, it was the waving oat crop with its rastling sea of grain-laden panicles that again oceupied the ground. And in after d+ys, when his cleared fields spread a broad demain around his well-established homestead, and multiplied labor and teams, and the ecientific auxiliary of improved machinery were brought to his aid, it was the oat crop that waa still in his mind, and every acre that was likely to pay for plough- ing was mercilessly devoted to the hungry roots of this vigorous crop. While this unscientific and profitless mode of running the land with successive crops of oats, is to be deprecated, a regular grain crop--oats as well as well as other grains—must still form an important part of a well ordered farming system. The oat is our most valuable grain. The fact that three an? a half millions of bushels are annually peoduced on this Island, gives us an idea of its importance. Ou the farm it is the most valuable feed for horses, Broken oats is indispensable for fattening catile; and eclts, calvee, lambs and pigs are always thrifiier with a regular portion of this grain in their diet. A ten year's course of cropping is, per- haps, the best svited to our soil and cir- cumstances, In such a couree we will have,— First year oats sown on broken sod. Second year reots well manured. Third year wheat seeded with clover and timothy. Fourth year, clover. Fifth, sixth and seveuth years. timothy. Kighth ninth and tenth years, pasture. lo this syetem there are about twenty acres ont of the one hundred devoted to grain. But these twenty acres will bring more reel pr fit to the farmer than the whole hundred acres sown with oats every two successive years in the old fashioned style, fu growing oats in such a rotation, plow the sod in the fall not too deep. Harrow thoroughly in the spring, and sow as soon as the ground is dry, using three or four bushels per acre. With cats as with other grain “If you would reap a harvest prime, You must sow your seed in time.” In preparing seed, clean thoroughly by wivnowing, so as to free it from ail light and inferior grein, sowing only the heaviest and most perfect. Depend more upon cleaning your own grain thoroughly than upon procuring a change of sec.

The best preparation for a crop of wheat is a root crop, well mavured, well cultivat- ed, and well cleaned. Wheat will not succeed on any but dry land, so be prepar- ed a yeor ahead by putting your roots in a well drained sandy loam. If you have not such land, you need not think of either roots or wheat. Those sections ef our ec ountry which were originally covered with noble decidu- ous forests of beech, yellow birch and sugar maple are well adapted for the growth of wheat. The new red sandstone scils are everywhere particularly adapted for the production of grain. The State of Connec- ticut yields the largest average of wheat in Eastera America. Our soil is ptecisely the same as hers, resting on the same forma- tion: and, with equally generous treatment, will give large returns of wheat. The early settlers on the Island grew large crops of wheat among the stumps, often receiving twenty to one. It is hard if the steel plough, the drill aud the reaper ‘cannot compete with the hoe and the sickle. (The climate is still the same. Let us |restore the soil to its original fertility when lit was enriched by a thousand harvests of autumn leaves, and we will secure equally | remunerative crops. | Manure heavy, then, for the rovt crops.

The last of April, or the jfirst of May, sow your wheat on this /ground made all ready the season before. your seed, at latest, the tirst days of May. No smatter how discouraging the prospect is. The ground may be white with snow or deluged with rain Sow. your seed! You are sure of fine weather in two or three days to harrow it in. This early sowing on well prepared land will keep your crop ahead of the fly, and ensure you good, well-filled grain. In selecting seed wheat there is much to be considered. First, we would lay it down as a rule, that seed onght to be chosen which has been grown in a colder climate. Our most valuable kinds of wheat have come from Scotland or Ruasia, countries ten degrees to the north of us, while importations from Colorado and California have proved utterly worthless. All plants are strengthened by growing in » northern climate, and show their vitality by greater productiveness when removed to a southern locality. On the other hand, plants are weakened constitu- tionally by growing ina southern climate, end invariably deteriorate when removed to a more northern station, Of late years,we have been getting our « ed from Upper Ontario, in the latitude of New York, This is unquestionably wrong. Seed grown about Montreal, or if it could be procured near Quebec, would be much preferable. In the future, however, we may look to the rich fields of Manitoba to supply us with seed from a locality several dived nearer the Pole than our own favored Island, Scotch Fife is our best flovring grain. White Russian is a stronger grower and more productive, Of newer varieties, we have nothing to say but that we wait to see them fully testcd. Seed wheat should be steeped in br ic and rolled in fresh slacked lime half a peck to the bushel, in order to kil the smut spores. When drilled in, one bushel of seed per acre is sufficient, but when sown broadcast, one and a half to two bushels are used. We prefer the latter mode of sowing, because, first when we sow, the ground is not fit to drill; and, 2nd, broadcast sowing covers the soil better and gives the weeds no chance. Thick seeding hastens the maturity of the crop, which is a point we wish to attain. A dressing of lime will help the wheat crop if the ground has not been pieviously **much mussel mudded.” In that case you need not trouble yourself about lime. Comwercial fertilizers, as Guano, Super- phosphate, Blood fertilizers, e'c., will cer- tainly benefit the wheat crop. But if you have anything of this kind at hind, we would urge its application to the root crop, where it will give the most certain return, and etiil leave somethiug for the wheat. Our object is not to hamper one part’cslar erep, but to make the farm richer for all-- richer for roots, richer for hay and richer in pasture for the valuable bird of eattle it is destined to carry. In harvesting wheat, cut while the grain is still soft, in the dough state. Let it dry thoroughly in the field. Nothing is worse then storing a little damp. In the system which we here adopted, it will be observed that only twenty per cent. of the farm is given to grain, while eighty per cent. is devoted to the support of stock. Our farm is thus essentially a stock ferm, and grain-growing only an incident in the rotation. It is to tho large quantity of pro- duce fed to stock—hay, clover, roots and grain— that we look to maintain its fertility, and on the produce of this steck, either as dairy produce, beef or live stock, that the farmer will mainly depen? for his profits But the grein crop will not be insignili- cant. That grown will be of the very best quality. And wheat in particular can be vrown successfully in such a rotation where it world be impossible to produce it under the o/3 starvation sy stem. There is no reason why Prince Edward Island shovld not grow its own bread. We point to (he thousands of farmers who now grow their own with @ surplus in proof of this. And every man who owns a farm in our native Province, with improved man- agement and intelligent care can do the saine. 1t is the worst of policy to annually ex- port thousands of bushels of oats for the purchase of a few barrels of flour. You give the profits to the traders two ways, and have the labor for yourself. With more attention to the growth of roots and clover, and the care of valuabla stock, wheat will become a profitable crop in the rotation, and a vast addili » to our national wealth . Agriculture isin every sense the hope and the wealth of our country. Nature has provided us with a soil unequalled in Eastern Canada, and its capabilities are not yet one-half developed. We sometimes hear it stated that there is no progress in Prince Edward Island. Just look at the history of ovr agriculture. In 1851 we raised 1,041,691 bushels grain; in 1861 we raised 2,838,025 bus els; in 1871, 3,649,929 bushela; in 1881, 4,301,110 bushels, aud a larger proportion of this last was of the more valuable kinds. Is not this progress most marked and persistent? And our land is able to do double, nay, quadruple, anything it has yet done. Hitherto, P. E. Island, as » fair young Province, has stood out con- spicuous for tho wealth of her native beauty and fertility; but, in the future, she will have to depend on the intelligence 'Tt won’t hurt the roots if your manure is ey grow ithe best roots with little manure.
