types for the purpose of study- ing the effect of different, fertl. llzer mixtures. on potatoes. in relation to soil type. The results idotatned this year indicate some interesting differences in fertilizer requirements. for potatoes, when grown on the three main soll types. namely, Charlottetown Ser- ies. Culloden Series-and O‘Leary series.

Soil fertility studies have shown the importance of the soil or- ganic matter content in the main- tenance of high productivity. An- nlylis of many hundreds of soil samples show the organic matter content of the greater percentage of soils, 1n the Province, to be unsatisfactory for maintaining

high levels of production. Soil organic matter is a potential source of nitrogen. consequently

the amount of this material in the soil and the supplying nib to the soil in sufficient quantities. should be of importance to thc farmer. particularly 1n view 0!

The total crop produced for pro- cessing was hi the vlclnlty of 5,000,000 lbs. givng- an average of nearly four tons per acre. In the station plots the best treatments yielded at. the rate of 8 tons with a gross cash value of $477.49 per acre. Broken down into grades the yields and prices were as fol- lows:

Despite the lzile arrival of pack- ugc bees. the unfavourable spring weather. and one of the driest August/s on record. bcekeepers on the average produced a fair crop oi honey in 1947. The Provincial Department. of Agriculture, in co- operation with the Experimental Farm have assisted the beekeep- ers of the province to the full- est extent. Package bees are or. dered in bulk lots and are dis- tributed lo the beekeepers. the Provincial Government assuming all carriage charges. With this CO-ODCTZIHOH the bee industry has shown n steady increase and more mrmevs have branched out into this revived industry.

Poultry

Only one breed, Barred Ply- mouth Rocks are kept at the Sta- tion. Special emphasis was plac. ed an breeding and selection for high production. heavy ‘egg and body weight, and livability. Laying house mortality ms the lowest for many years and has been re- duced by 50 percent within the past three seasons. It is felt that progress is. being made lri this characteristic. "

Egg production. while not quite as high as the previous year. averaged 188 eggs for all birds entered and amounted to 217,5 eggs for all birds completing their first laying year. out of 408 birds entered. ninety birds exceeded 250 eggs each, thirty-five exceeded 275 eggs each and five birds node records ln excess of 300 eggs in S65 days of laying.

Illustration Stations

ELght Illustration Stations are operated in conjunction with the Charlottetown Station. These are privately-owned farms on which experiments of various sorts deal- ing with soil fertility. tesvs of varieties, etc. are conducted.

Horticulture

Horticultural activities during the year lncluded the testing of fruits, vegetables and flowers. The information derived from thes tests is available at alltimes from the Charlottetown Station.

Tree Fruits

Two new plum varieties have shown much promise here. The)’ are at least two weeks earlier than the standard varieties now being grown and. have excellent sin and quality. The earliest va- riety, Early Lsxton, is of medium size and yellowish-red color. This variety is followed by California. Blue which is a blue plum of com- mercial size and quality-

Outstanding apple varieties now fruiting include McIntosh Red. Boil Delicious. Hume, Cortland, Ssndow, Red Melhs and Joyce.

Pear varieties of merit. znclude Clapp Favorite and Bartlett Sec- kle. Flemish Beauty ls very hardy and productive but rerllllrvs CI"- ful spraying to control scab. Sour cherries of merit include Montmoreney. Orel No. 24 and English ‘Morello.

Small Fruits The msrket outlook for small fruits was much improved dur-

lng the past yea: and consider- able impetus was given the plant- ing of these crops. particularly strawberries and r @5- gtrnwberry plantings increased threefold during the Ywr- SMI- Qor Dunlap is still. the lending va- riety. About 3,000 Premier 9111M! were distributed by the Charlotte- town station to leading growers ‘to establish their value under our conditions. 'I'he Premier is s lead- ing variety for processins i" 9'0- tax-lo.

A new raspberry. Trent, show- ed much promise in our trials this lesson. When handling and shipping qualities are not impor- tant. such varieties as Lloyd Geofli, Marcy and Indian Sum- mer will be found very suitable. Gmpes have also received some attentl and the variety Port- land has been found to ripen well in this locality-

The new gooseberry Davidson. a large fruited variety, has shown much promise in recent trials. Black curl-ants of merit include luddenborg, climax and Victoria.

Vegetables

The low quality of the hay was due to the lack of clover and alfalfa.

The interest taken in annual Illustra- tion station field days in P. B. Island is evidenced by the fact that. during the eleven-yes: per- iod terminating in 1841 some 104 field days attracted a total at- tendance of 11.905 individuals. In 1946 seven field days drew s to- tal attendance of L393 farmers or an average assembly of 199 at each station. In 1047 eight field days drew a total attendance of 1.150 farmers. or an average of 144 in- dividuals per station.

Swine production on Illustration Stations has continued to expand during the year. Registered York- shlrcs are gradually replacln: grade hogs. the operator at New London qualifying his breedinu stock for Advanced Registry.

Al. each Illustration Station careful records are kept of all rev. enuo and expenses in connectloi- with cach branch of farm opera- tions. These records show that the farmers have had two suc- cessful years. namely, 1946 and 1947, and every indication points to s successful year for 1948. A general review of conditions in the other provinces of Canada and in the United States would indicate that there should begood mar- kets for normal crops and fair prices in 1948.
