time ten stations. located on five major soil types and modifications thereof, serve the farmers of the Province. Nine stations den-l with general farm problems and one features special investigational studies associated with cranberry production on upland areas. Il- .ilSl!‘Bll0l'\ stations in this province are located on farms owned and operated by T. Albert Hicken, A1- listen; Fred Cheverie, East Point: James E. Dab’. Iona; Hug-h J. MacDonald, Monticello; William E Johnsione. New London; Rob- ert Woozlside. OLeary; Thomas E. Noonan. Richmond: John W MacKenzie, Rose Valley; John L. Clark. M.B.E.. Rustico and Zeizon Gallant. Utbainvllle Farm prub- lems are studied under local con- ditions thereby serving to supple- rnent. comprehensive research nvcirk being carried on at the Ex- perimental Farm.

Sequence of (‘rope

A four. five, six and seven rear sequence of crops are featur- ed on illustration stations in Prince Edward Island. In addi- iicn, potato rotations have been laid down on those station fields where nu mussel mud. ground lLmestone or lig-ht applications of limestone. have been applied iii uast years. Naturally, any estab- lished sequence of crops must be {legible to order to meet the in- dividual farmer's requirements. A systematic rotation of crops has. oi r the past number of years added balance to crop production. facilitated field operations and favoured a general improvement in soil fertility as evidenced by increased yields of root crops. p0- ‘atoes. grain and hay. Associated with rotational studies are recom ziieitded cultural practices and soil fertility studies. Illustration sta- tions in this province also serve at- testing grounds for new varie- t:es of farm crops and as centers where weed. disease and insec: control measures may be studied 1n many itisiances they deal with specific and localized problems of a fact finding nature which de- tnand careful study. They further serve as breeding centers for poultry and livestock of desirable type and quality and as centers where good seed of recommended varieties may be obtained.

Farm woodlot management slud- tes are being pursued at the Allis- ttm, Iona. New London, Rose Val- ley and Rustico stations where selective cutting and recommended :crestr_v practices are being de- monstrated.

General Conditions

General conditions throughout the Provmce have been most. sat- isfactory during the past year for the production of all farm crop" Clovers and alfalfa wintcred wel‘. and spring pastures, “where fr’. ltzed. made. luxuriant growth. Du. log the past two years complete fertilizers have been applied to permanent. pastures in the fall when the soil is firm. thereby avoiding damage by cutting and lfﬂfﬂplng n; was commonplace viheti early spring applications tvere matte Where steep slo-pes do two‘. p-revaii. equally good results have accrued from the adoption of early fall fertilizing practices.

At. the New London station, the lcriilized pasture area which has been continuously in sod since 1.133 produced the highest quan- tuy of forage to date. From thﬂ plot ivhlch received 61 pounds ammonium nitrate, 600 pounds :uperphospiiate and 100 pounds potash atxnualLv, 36.30 tons of green forage per acre were ob- zamed. This was made up largely of wild "white clover. At the close of November over thirty head of feeding steers were still finding succulent. forage on the fertilized pasture tii-eas at Mr. Johnstoncls station.

In order to correct soil a‘ ity. improve til-th and beneficially influence the availability of other plant food elements, ground linie- stone is being utilized in conjunc- icn w .h farmyard manure and commercial fertilizers in the pro- duction of field crops at all sta- tions Prior to the establishment of illustration stations in this province very little alfalfa tvas crown. Applications of one ton pet" acre ground limestone to wtll drained stills. combined with bitc- ferial inoculation of the seed, has "t-sulted it" the favourable intro- duction of this crop Farmers in general are finding alfalfa win- ter hardy end it. is becoming com- monplace 111 the regular measl- ows.

Ilay d: Potatoes

The htiy crop on all illustration stations was above average dur- ing the past you, the heevlelt stand being produced at the Rus- t.ico station where a clover meadow yielded 4.58 tons of cured hay per acre. Oat. wheat. barley and mix- ed grain crops threshed out. well at all stations. 35 bushels of Cas- cade wheat and 40 bus-hols of Charlottetown No. '80 barley per acre being threshed at the O'Lc:\rv station operated by Mr. Robert Woodside.

Growing tuber unit. seed pom- toes in isolated plots has been generally adopted by illustration station operators. The establish- ment of an isolated seed plot apart from the regular potato crop area has resulted in the pro- duction o.‘ a superior grade of dis- ease free stock which serves as a source of high grade seed the following year. During the win- ter of 1948 Eye Index tests were conductel on seed stock grown at tne Richmond. Urbalnvllle and Rose Valley stptions. Disease free potatoes were returned to the op- erators and planted in isolated plots by the tuber unit method. Following rigid field inspection. rwo plots passed as Foundation stock smile the remaining plot passed as Foundation A.

Santa then distributed gifts to all the children, who were unable to take their eyes from him as he called each one for his gift. After the departure of Santa, the teachers treated the pupils to ice-cream. candy, apples, oranges and many other Christmas delicacies. The program included “Angels We Have Heard On High".

During the past year six illus- iration station field days were held in this province in coopera- tion with the Provincial Depart- ment of Agriculture. 810 farmers took advantage of these meetings‘ and had an opportunity to discuss mutual problems with members of the Provincial and Dcminion De- partments of Agriculture. The i11- terest taken in annual illustration =tation field days in this p:"o-. vincg is evidenced by the fact that during the eleven year period ending 1948 96 field days attract- cd a total attendance of 11,461 farmers.

Livestock

Two mature cows were bought and added to the Ayrshire herd during the year—"Evana Wait and» See“ was purchased from Martini Compton. Bangor, and “Evans An- ita" was purchased from Lewis Brothers, St. Peter's. Both of these cow's are out of the famous Ayr- shire cow. "Evana Jean" bred hy LEWlS Brothers. "Evana Jean" pro- duced 17.077 pounds of milk and 720 pound: of fat. as a four year cld. thus establishing a record for n11 of Canada for that year. “Ev- ana Jean“ is a sister of the pres- ent herd sire, "Evana Sir Roder-l ick“. as both are from the same dam “Ingsbrook Lucky Nettie." "Evana Lucky Anna" is a sister tc- "Evans Sir Roderick" as wcll. having the same sire namely. "Svpringburu Royal King." thus a nucleus of "king breeding" is being established at the Charlotte- town station.

The highest producing cow in the Charlottetown herd namely, "Charlottetown Electra Sunflovtt- er" completed a lactation with 16,806 pounds of milk and ‘719 pounds of fat. during the year. She is the dam of the junior herd s‘re. "Charlottetown Sir Roderick 7th." This promising young bull is being used on all of the progeny of "Evans Sir Roderick."

The Pi; Testing station for the advanced registration of swine is maintained at. the Charlottetown station. Likewise, quarters for the Central Insemination Unit are also provided.

Poultry

The poultry industry througbmit the province during the year main- tained a. strong position wit-h ev- ery evidence of cue and watch- fulnsss on the part. of the pro- ducer. Toward the latter part of the year, and particularly since the new kitten food contacts have been announced, the general indication seems to be that there will be some contraction for 1M0.

It is expected that a new pro- ject. will be undertaken at: the Charlottetown Station to compare package bees with over winter-ed colonies. The general practice at present among I6 per cent of the farmers seems to be the purchas- ing of package bees 1n the spring and destroying the bees in the fall, just. prior to the extracting of the honeyyThls practice neces- sitatcs tzhe purchase of package bees each spring.
