Illustrate Practical Help
A typical example of the practical
work of the Illustration Stations of
the Experimental Farms is afforded
by the present-day up-to-date farm
of Mr. William 'Michael in the Peters-
field district of Manitoba. Mr. Michael
who was amarine engineer and knew
little about farming, took up this
farm in 1921. It was then in a neg-
lected condition. the dwelling house
and one storey learn dila-pidated, and
only reermante of fences on the lalatt
which was polluted with sow thistle,
wild oats and stinkweed. All of his
first and most of his second season's
grain crop was, ordered cut by the
provincial Weed ComMiseioner, and
it was about, this throe that the dis-
trict came under the notice of the
Experimental Farms. In 1925- an III-
lu.stration Station was established on
Mr. }Michael's farm. A-seriesof
demonstrational fields, dealing with
cultural methods:, crops and rotations
were laid out. During the first two
years a great deal af the crop had
to be cut early -betanse of weed in-
festation, but to -day the whole farm
is exceptionally clean, the farmhouse
remodelled, a Modern barn built, and
the entire farm fenced in. Last sea-
son his herd of 11 cow's prodeced an
average of 7;780 ipounds of milk. By
adoptin,g cropping scleetrile in.clud-
ing a forage crop, and by alt:ernating
alfalfa, grain and sulmaner-fallow, Mr.
Mithael has transfermed, in the per-
iod of 11 yeare, this Very Weedy pro-
perty into a fine clean farm.

A review of crop conditipns as of

and clovers had grown rapidly, show-
ing much improvement over a month

winter -killed, but old stands appear
'co -d. Haying commenced early this
year and has he -en in -full swing itt

along rapidly except on low' lands.
