P. E. I. Department of Agriculture

The Prince Edward Island Ag- ricultural Record for I062 is now history; during that period we have been blest with good weath- er and excellent crops. Outstand- mg records of performance and excellent showing in various agri- cultural shows have ,won a favour- able position for our livestock and (gym produce. Fur bearing anim- gls, chiefly mink, also made an ex- cellent showing. Marked progress has been observed in poultry breedlngilnd handling. In observ- mg the general picture we can consider 1963 as a year of pro- gress. In order to maintain this classification it is essential that the experiences gained are put into practice and improved upon in the year to come.

Agriculture in this Province is in 3 very favourable position but in order to. capitalize on this it is essential to have increased pro- ductionand quality. In order to obtain these two ends it is neces- sary to apply and practice im- proved methods of soil manage- ment and herd management. In this day and age with increased cost of production and high labor. it is essential to keep down the :ost of production to a level where maximum gains can be obtained.

In order to obtain the available markets close at hand it will re- quire close co-operation on the part of the producer, dealer. and professional agrlculturallsts alike.

The officials of the Department of Agriculture wish to take this opportunity to wish the farmers of this Province a very Happy and Prosperous I953.

Ilce To Cool Milk

This is the time of year when

consideration and planning should be done in reference to the storing of ice for next summer. One of the first essentials is to estimate the quantity of ice required for the amount of milk produced. To assure suitable storage space for the fee when cut. ,Ta estimate the amount of ice to store to cool milk it is ecessary to calculate the quantity of milk to be cooled during the period Three pounds of ice are required to cool one pound of milk from 1000 F to 40" F. The quantity of milk multiplied by three and div- ided by two thousand equals the l.0llS,0T ioe necessary.

The tons of ice required multi- plied by-Fforty cu. feet equals the total number of cu. feet or the size of ice house ieoessary. About one to one and a half should be added to each dimension of house to allow for packing material which is usually sawdust.

The Two-Minute Method

Cream separator users will ap- preciate and welcome this quick effective new method, which was developed by Prof. Rudnick of the Iowa State College. and is made possible by the use of wetting agents. The wetting agent is a comparatively new product with B-hlch perhaps many are .not fam-

tar.

Wetting agents should not be confused with soap powder. for although they look like soap and act like soap they have many ad- vantages not possessed by soap. It should be emphasised that this method can be used only with wetting agents.

An outstanding characteris c of the wetting agent is its property of reducing the surface tension of water. Wetting agents leave no fatty residue, mineral deposit or scam and rinse out freely. They function perfectly in hard water.

The separator must be clean to ltart with.

1. After all the milk has left the iupply can, shut on the power or Imp turning the crank.

3. Rinse the supply can with a END of warm water and shut 03 the faucet.

3. Add directly over the float

one pint of warm water or skim- milk, or enough to clear the cream from the machine.

4. Place about one tablespoon of a wetting agent in the supply tank. Then pour in a pail of warm water. Be sure it is a full pail and heated to about 1200 F. See that the wetting agent is dissolved and let this go through the separator while the bowl is running down. While the solution is running from the machine brush the supply tank inside and out with a soft brush; also the inside and outside of the cream and skirnmilk spouts, and the separator frame. (Employ met four steps as rapidly as possible).

ll. Pour the solution from the machine into a dlshpan.

6. Dismantle the separator. The supply tank, spouts. float and in- let will seldom require further

cleaning. Place the float and oov- old

ers in the supply tank. There may be some foam left on these parts when they are,i-emoved but fur- ther inspection will dlsclose that this foam is from the cleaning so- lution and is not mill; or cream.

'7. on opening the bowl the discs will, as a rule, be found perfectly clean. There may be a slight smear on an occasional alsc. In that case set the discs in the water and run a brush down through the hole, pumping the water between them. The flow caused by the brush will clear the discs. Shake the discs apart for inmectlon and place them in the supply tank.

. The slime on the rest of the bowl parts will be soft and easily washed off with a brush. It re- quires no scouring and a soft brush will do the work nicely.-

After all the parts are in the supply can, pour a kettle of boil- ing water over them, drain and allow to dry.

NOTE: There are a number of wetting agents manufactured by different companies such as ”Dieft" made by Procter st Gain- ble, which can be obtained at gro- cery stores in many localities. Creameries can also supply wetting agents.

Storing Fertilizer

Practlcally any weather-proof building makes a suitable fertiliser storage provided it is not exces- sively damp. Moisture is the main villain in the storage problem and can cause hardening or ''setting4 up" as well as damage to the bags However, moisture as well as other storage hazara can be successful- ly controlled by following the sim- ple rules of safe fertilizer storage.

Rules. For Safe Storage

1. Moisture is the main problem. Store in dry, well ventilated build- ing. Keep windows and doors closed during damp weather, open when dry. -.

2. Never pile wet or damaged bags with sound ones.

3. Bags must not rest on bare ground, concrete or metal. Pile on skids at least 4 inches off floor.

4. Do not pile more than seven bags high.

5. Do not pile against walls of building. ,

8. Leave space between piles for circulation of sir..

7. A few inches of straw on top of piles prevents moisture in air from settling on bags. .

Seed Disinfectants

Most farmers spend a great deal of time and money for fertiliser. preparing the seed bed and in buying good seed. However. a re- markably small number protect this investment by spending a few cents per acre on treating their seed before planting. Statistics prove that the majority of East- ern Canada farmers do not make use of this sound agricultural practice. '

A seed disinfectant will not make good seed out of poor seed- thera is still no substitute for quality. However, seed treatment will protect your seed and the crop against diseases which greatly reduce yields and prams. Broadly speaking, a disinfectant controls two types of disagree: (1) those diseases which srel carried in the spore stage on the seed such as smut of.grain: (I) diseases which are caused by soil-borne organ- sims such as root-rots, seed-ro and seeding blights. .

In the experience of those who have treated their seed before planting they have found the pg. suits most gratifying and ghte that they will always continue to disinfect seed because of the in- creased yield by lowering the in. eidehce of disease.

Christmas At The Gliltown Hospital

Every department of the Chat- lottetown Hospital has presented a festive appearance for the holy season of Christmas. Decorations vary from solemn scenes depicting the manger at Bethlehem to a modern Rudolph, the Red-nosed Reindeer in the Pediatric depart- ment, painted by a student nurse.

Carollers from Notre Dame Academy and the Y. M. C. A. add- erl greatly to festivities by coming to the hospital to sing for the patients. This gesture was deeply appreciated by all. and it is hoped that it will be an annual feature of the Christmas season.

On Tuesday, before Christmas the Hospital staff were -invited to the solarium, and as student nurses sang: "Here Comes Santa Claus," that jolly old man himself appeared on the scene.

A gay period followed in which Santaldistrlbuted candy and a gift to each employee. The student nurses entertained with Christmas carols and Santa himself rendered two solos. This was the first year that such a get-together was held and it was greatly enjoyed by all.

on Christmas Eve student nurses. who had remained at the hospital, for Christmas, sang carols to help bring the Christmas spirit to the sick. Later, that same evening Santa came and visited each pat- ient. .

"I WISH I COULD FORGET"

At the peak of the Christmas r , we met a friend in the door- way of one of our most crowded stores. He had such a forlorn look. that we asked, "What's the trouble? Are you lost?"

"Lost?" he repeated thoughtful- ly; "that's just what I was. Come on, I'll buy you a cup of codee and tell you about it. Maybe it will help get it out of my system.

"Well", he said, ”it's really no- thing so different. You've probably seen similar incidents. Mother took me along because she had no place to leave me while she did some Christmas shopping. I was about four years old and had sel- dom been away from the farm and the store seemed jammed with all the people in the world. Mo- ther didnit need to warn me to hold on to her. I clung for dear life, but somebody pushed me, and mother and I were separated.

"I don't believe," he said, "that I felt as panic-stricken the first time I saw under enemy fire. The noise, the glare, the things on sale, and the people, pressed around me-and I was deserted. perhaps forever, by my mother, the all-powerful protector!

"I stood there crying and tremb- ling, for what seemed hours but was likely only a minute or two and then I saw mother. I ran to- ward her joyfully, arms outstretch- ed, and she,-I've seen it happen to other kids and I could commit murder-instead of picking me up and kissing me-took hold of me and shook me and gave me a few hard spanks. 'You bad boy', she said, 'I told you to hold on to mother. This will teach you a lesson. not to run away!

"Poor mother, I can understand now, that she was nervous and frightened herself. But I suppose there were other incidents. I'm what you might call a dutiful son -but not a loving one." I-lis smile

was ruefui. C 0

More deliberately cruel than the punishment of the frightened child who had done no wrong, was the drastic punishment for a minor offence, also to "teach a lesson", related in the following recollec- tion.

"Mother was a stern individ- ual", said our friend. "I don't know yet how she was persuaded to say we would have a. Christmas tree, for the first time, the year 1 was six years old. I guess there wasn't a happier child."

our friend paused and actually seemed to cringe before this mem- ory of some forty years ago, but she continued, "A few days before Christmas I saw a large box in mother's room and took a peek. I was dazed by the marvelous things

I saw--e. glittering star, colored balls-things4 for the Christmas

hating face and through set teeth. "rhat will teach you a lesson not to touch things that don't belong to you'.

"And we never did have a tree". sighed my friend. "I wish I could erase this from my mind. "Maybe mother and I could be better friends".

I O A

There is the story of the little boy whose father promised. him "the worst punishment you ever had", when they got home-be cause he was too excited to behave properly at schristmas partyl The little boy, now a father himself, told us he lived in terror for days -until he' realized his father had forgotten all about it!

We are glad we have no space for more such corroding memories. Rather we shall conclude with an incident that might have left pain and estrangement. but was turned instead into a cherished recollec- tion of love and gratitude. and a pattern to follow with her own children.

"There have been times", said the woman who told us this heart-warming story, "when my

husband and I have been uncer-i

taln whether to let our children pay for their mistakes, their care- lessness, or even their wrong-do- ing, or to come to their rescue of course there have been occas- ions when it was quite clear they

must learn their lesson by taking

the consequences of their acts- but whenever we were in doubt, we decided to take a chance and do as my father did-temper jus- tice with love and mercy. And

our children have grown up pret- ,

ty nice, we think." (They are in-, deed fine young people, with a

most understanding relationship with their parents). "I love to thliik about that

Christmas when I was just ten years old." continued our friend. "Christmas presents on the farm in those days were mostly hand- made, but there were things like materials, ribbons, an occasional toy that had to be bought. And there were ten of us, including our parents, who had to be iemembe cd-and whom we wanted to re- member. It took some planning, but we older ones managed to earn some extra money and we were expected to save every penny for weeks before Christmas. 0 C I

This particular Christmas was just I week off and I found my- self absolutely penniless! I had been a wasteful. thoughtless girl, mother said when I told her. and it would be a lesson to me! I knew I was to blame but I felt I could not live through it! Branded as selfish and mean-taking but not giving! , .

Two days before Christmas I was planning to run away-anxy; where. Then at supper that nig t -as I lifted my plate to pass to father-oh, glorious moment-I saw under it, a dollar bill! Father winked at me and smiled as he heaped my plate--how I loved him then, and ever afterl Never again was I ca ht in such a fix. And indeed, I lieve I never let hlrn down in anything after that".

Too often has the proverb.
