Of the 15nd "r9889. 58 is owned out- right by the Federal Government, the remainder is utilized under Authority of s IOO-year lease from the Provincial Government. Yesterday. Mr. n. C. Parent. superintendent of the Farm, spent several hours escorting newspaper- men over those 384 acres, showing them the various tests now being carefully arranged and plotted for cereals. grasses, potatoes, turnips, fruit trees. etc. and giving them some ides of the work being done for the improvement. of dairy cattle, swine, and poultry. As a convenience to the dairy- men of the Province, Mr. Parent transformed the farm's former machine sholp into a comfortable barn for the accommodation of the pure bred bulls which serve the Central Artificial Insemination Unit. There are two bulls of the Ayrshire, Guernsey. Jersey Shorthorn, and Holstein breeds. The 165 acres of the forlmer Jenkins property will soon be a place of activity, if Mr, Parents plans are approved at Ottawa. Hort. Mr. R. R. Hurst will conduct many of his scientific experiments in plant pathology and here also Mr. 1-‘. M. Cannon will conduct his principal experiments for the eradication or control of insects. It ls Mr. Parent's opinion that the 25 acres of woodland on the former Jenkins property will supply all the lumber needed to keep all buildings at the Farm in good re- pair. The Farm has eight acres devoted to an orchard containing 400 trees of various fruits including apples, plums, cherries. pears, etc. Of the apple varieties. the principal ones in the order of their maturity are, Melba, Hume. Lobo, Joyce. Cort- land. MacImtosh, Sandow, and lied Delicious. Soil Fertility Tests Twenty-five acres at the Farm is devoted solely to the carrying out of tests in soil fertility. Here crops are grown with a view of determining the most suitable rotation and the most efficient use of fertilizer. Also experiments are carried on there to ascertain the proper fertilizer mixtures for the various results desired. On one plot. of land experiments _ln the cultivation of potatoes have been carried on continuously for, the past 22 years. On one plot} which has been planted to potatoes, for the past 22 years with onlv; sulphate of ammonia as thefri fertilizer, there was not. a sinale, ootato last year of edible size.‘ ‘Those plots having a mixture of! manure and fertilizer produced better and more potatoes than any of the others. in another section of the Farm. exneriments in the growing of 40 different varieties of potatoes are carried on. ‘Mr. Parent showed the newspaper men plots of alfalfa which were a foot in height and as thick as such hay could grow. There were also other splendid blots which were a mixture of alfalfa. red clover. alsace. and timothy. They. too were the "full of the ground." The Farm has a herd of approxi- mately 30 pure bred Ayrshire cattle headed by a splendid bull. Sir Roderick Evans. Of the 30 cattle. l4 are mature cows in various stages of milk production. The testing station for the Ad- vanced Registry of pure bred sows is filled up with the progeny of stir-h animals from many different parts of the Province. in order for the sow to qualify for the honor of having her offspring tested there. she must raise eight pigs to the age of eight weeks. The foul best are then put in a pen and fed according to a formula specially dulgned to give them the required growth and development within the next four months. When they have reached the age of six months or less the pigs are supposed to reach the weight of 200 pounds when they are slaughtered and in- spected to conform to certain standards. Dominion Experimental Farm Activities Expand i Mr. B. C. Parent l-‘srm Super‘ fendent was founded in 1900 with Dr. J. A. Clark as its superintendeht. the property consisted of 163 acres and very few buildings. It grew trem- endously within the next S8 years under Dr. Clark and has continued to do so under Mr. Parent's super- vision. Mr. Parent last. year replac- ed Dr. Clark upon the latter! fl- tirement. Farm 2'.- aches Qf the twenty-four farm brarush- es scattered from coast to coast across Canada. that at Charlotte- town has the second highest pre- cipitation. Its 42.64 inches of sn- nual rainfall (allowing one inch of rain for every i0 inches of snow) is only exceeded by that at the Experimental Farm at Agas- siz, B. C., where the annual rain-l fall is 62 inches. Were it. not for this heavy precipitation. agricul- ture in this Province would be a failure, for the majority of Maple Mr. Parent said, are unaware, not only that the Province has so much rainfall, but that its winds are higher and more frequent than in either New Brunswick or Nova. Scotia. For this reason, he said, all orchards and market gardens should be protected by good wind- breaks. The wind-break favored at the PYlfln is a triple row composed of Chinese Elm, Pine, and Siberian Pea. Those are tall trees of rapid growth. Ono of the main reasons for the success of agriculture in the Pro- vince. lvlr. Parent said, is that cool springs are usually to be expected and that those conditions are fol- lowed by a long frost-free period whose average is about 150 days. Such a period allows all farm crops, as well as most. fruits and vegetables, to come to maturity without being damaged by frost. Mr. Parent said the present staff comprises about 40 persons. Mr. B. F. Tlnney is in charge of all poul- try work, Mr. D. C. Schurman super-intends the forage and field husbandry. Mr. G. C. Warren looks after the horticultural work, and Mr. W. N. Black has the respon- sibility of the illustration stations throughout the Province. The im- portant work of soil analysis and the experiments in soil fertility are conducted by Mr. G. D. Whiteside. Mr. R. B. McLean is the cerealist and Mr. W. A. Burns, besides re- cording the atmospheric conditions. has the interesting task of super- vising the apiary. The gardener is Mr. A. Smith and Mr. 1. S. Mitchell is the farm foreman. Mr. Warren is at present in Truro attending a meeting of strawberry growers. WESTERN KIDS BIGGEI. REGINA (C?)
