News and Information
For The Busy Farmer
Wild Apple Tree Menace
Wild apples trees are harbours for
orchard pests, the codling moth, oys-
ter -shell scale, apple maggot or "rail-
road worm", leaf crurnpler, various
leaf -feeding insects and others. Their
trunks, branches, leaves and fruit are
breeding places for the pests which
spread at will to useful trees. Scat-
tered as they are about the back pas-
tures and along the fence rows of
many farms, these wild apple trees,
for the most part, scraggy, unkept,
unsightly, and useless for fruit pro-
duction, are a deadly menace to the
cultivated orchards on adjoining
fields. But there is one use for them.
Apple wood is good fuel, and this
year when snow has prevented many
farmers from getting their fuel supply
from the forests, consideration might
be given to cutting down and utiliz-
ing those sources of danger nger to the
home orchards. The Entomological
Branch of the Dominion Department
of Agriculture, which wages ceaseless
war on these insects, points out that
this winter in New Brunswick the
branches of wild apple trees bear
large numbers of ten caterpillar eggs,
presaging a heavy infestation of these
insects in June.
Dairy Catte,and Grain
With regard to the marketing of
grain through dairy cattle, an example
is to be found in the largest herd of
dairy cattle in British Columbia, This
herd is maintained for the purpose of
supplying at minimum cost 5,700 lbs.
of milk daily to the provincial, mental
hospital. Because of transportation
costs, grains have higher values there
but silage, hay, roots and pasture are
each used to advantage in keeping
down costs of production. The fol-
lowing concentrate mixture is one that
has been used to advantage:—Oats,
600 pounds; barley, 400; bran, 500;
oil meal, 400; screenings, 400; distill-
ers' grains, 400,• pilchard meal, 300'
pounds. This ration, with its 19,77
per cent. digestible protein, is only
one-third actual grains and is fed in
apportionments of from three to fif-
teen pounds per cow per day, depend-
ing on the individual production. The
COWS produce exceptionally well, the
herd having had a yearly average of
over 15;000 pounds of milk and 250
pounds of fat.
Badge of Confidence
The general welfare of those engag-
ed in agriculture- may be appreciably
unproved, says the Dominion Seed
Commissioner, by developing the pro-
duction and general use of the best
kind, of propagating stock, Because it
is in their own best interest to use
pure seed: of the variety most suited
to their soil and purpose, farmers in
procure and use the best that is ob-
tainable, if they are provided the as-
surance in which they •have confiden-
ce. as to the variety and relative qual-
ity of the seeds they purchase. The
official inspection tag certificate, in-
cluding a statement of the kind, var-
iety, purity and grade of the seed,
signed' by an authorized inspector and
protected by a metal seal, begets a
measure of confidence that tends to
increase from year to year. The as-
surance of origin of production and
winter hardiness of certain kinds of
seed is a very real need, at whatever
increase in cost, if those crops are to
be successfully grown in our north-
ern climates, '
Poultry Cash Return
A comparison between the revenue
derived from field crops and from
poultry during the past few years re-
veals some interesting figures. For
the sir years 1925-31 the cash returns
from field crops in the three Prairie
Provinces dwindled almost to one-
third, says Mr. F. C. Elford, Domin-
ion Poultry, Husbandman, while the
poultry revenue remained practically
the same. In 1925 the field crops gave
i
nearly thirty times the revenue given
en
by poultry, while in 1931 it was only
ten times. In British Columbia in
1931 "farm animals" produced 62 per
cent of the amount of revenue deriv-
ed from poultry. In Alberta the re-
turn from poultry was 40 per cent.
of that from farm animals. In Sas-
katchewan it was 55 per cent. In On-
tario in 1927 poultry gave 57 per cent.
of what live stock produced; in 1931
it had increased to 88.8 per cent. In
1931 the product of the poultry yard
handed to the farmer in actual cash
more than one-half of what was re-
ceived from the sale of Canada's en-
tire crop of wheat.
Immature Cheese
Complaints have been received from
the United Kingdom during the past
three seasons that some of the Cana-
dian cheese held for long periods have
developed soft ends, and it has been
suggested that an air space should be
left between the ends of the cheese
and the cover of the box in order to
permit' the drying of the ends of the
cheese, "While it is yet impossible to
speak conclusively as far as it has
been possible to investigate this mat-
ter" says Mr. J. F. Singleton, Dairy
and Cold Storage Commissioner for
Canada, "it does not appear that the
remedy lies in leaving an air space,
but rather in holding the cheese in the
factory until the rind is well formed;
It appears that the shipment of very
immature cheese was more prevalent
in the eastern portion of Eastern On-
tario during 1938 than ever before,
and it is said that some of the fac-
tories are placing the cheese in the:
boxes one day after being moved
from the press. The inevitable result
is that the cheese which is not prop-
erly dried out becomes coated with
mould and proper rinds do not fort.
This practice of °shipping cheese in
such atr immature condition should
geiteral may be depended upon to cease.":
Grain and Milk Production
For many years a general rule
among dairymen who feed for high
production has been to feed one lb.
of concentrates for every three or
four pounds of milk produced. At the
Dominion Experimental Farm at
Agassiz, B.C., for every pound, of
grain fed during the past ten years,
three pounds of milk have been pro-
duced. In 1926 the maximum was re-
corded, with one pound of grain pro-
ducing 4.17 pounds of milk; in 1923
it required one pound of grain for
exery 2.35 pounds of milk. If 3.5 be
taken as the figure representing the
amount of milk produced for each Ib.
of concentrates fed, 2,108,523 tons
wolud be the yearly consumption es-
timate for Canada, figured on a pro-
ductive basis of 14, 759,657,000 pounds
of milk. If that amount were con-
sumed by 3,683,000 cows, the• yearly
average per cow would be 1,145
pounds—a daily average of 3.14 lbs.
for all Canada—which is a reasonable
figure when one considers that some
cows are fed 30 pounds of grain while•
others get roughage only.
White Grub Control
A substantial advance in knowledge
in white grub control has been achiev-
ed by the Entomological Branch of
the Dominion Department of Agricul-
ture. A number of new findings has
been made in connection with crop
selection experiments, while at the
same time further information has
been obtained on many other items,
such as the relation • of grub numbers
to the comparative' susceptibility or
immunity of the various crops. Of the
group of • grains (oats, barley and
wheat) under test, it•was found that
wheat was most susceptible to attack
and barley least so. It was further
discovered that alfalfa or sweet clov-
er could be seeded •down with corn-
parative safety; . even where white
grubs were sufficiently numerous to
destroy a large part of the nurse crop
of oats or barley. : Rye was found to
be much more resistent to grubs than
corn or beans. Sunflowers again prov-
ed their worth over corn where grubs
were especially numerous and buck-
wheat more than justified itself as a
"filler" crop. These and other prac-
tical results mean less economic loss
to the farmer and consequently to the
people of Canada as a whole.
Cereal Rust Prevention
The very important results obtained
by the Dominion Rust Reserach Lab-
oratory at Winnipeg in a six years'
1925-30) investigation to determine
the possibility of preventing the en-
ormous losses due to cereal rusts by
theust ,1
se of fungicidal dusts have j
u g s
been published as an official bulletin
by the Dominion Department of Ag-
riculture. Each year during the per-
iod of investigation, applications of a
suitable sulphur dust, well -tinned and
properly applied, prevented rust and
other leaf and stem diseases of cereal
crops to a marked degree.. Practical
and effective dusting schedules were
developed for controlling stem rust
of wheat and oats in small plots and
large fields. Of the many brands of
dust used, finely divided sulphur dusts
were found to be the best for rust
control. The fungicidal effectiveness
of sulphur, it was proved, was increas-
ed in proportion to the fineness of its
particles. Ordinary pure sulphur of
300 -mesh fineness gave very satisfac-
tory results. Aeroplane dusting was
found practical and effective in pre-
venting rust, but the cost involved
rendered method of applying sulphur
dust unprofitable under present cir-
cumstances.
