Farm Acclaimed Success Canada and Dominion Sugar Company’s new 100-acre experi­ mental and demonstration farm at Wallaceburg was shown for the first time to more than 250 sugar beet growers of the local district last week. “To this pro­ ject will be added another 100 acres next year, to show what can be done -with a run-down farm," B. E. Easton, Agricultural Superintendent for C. and D. told assembled farmers. John Cass of the company’s re­ search department described merits of five different crop ro­ tations. While the company has sugar beet growing as a major project, it is also planned to en­ gage in general farming to prove the value of various rotations and to concentrate experimental work in one place for demonstrations. Agriculture supervisor Perc A. Reeve, of the Farmers’ & Manu­ facturers’ Association, Saginaw, Mich., told how scientists are con­ tinuing to develop disease-resist­ ant, better-yielding types of sugar beet seed. He predicted a single germ seed a few years hence which would rapidly adapt itself to mechanical thinning and har­ vesting. C. & D. had made a special grant to aid this project. Many growers were surprised when the company’s Wallaceburg district Supervisor, C. A. Neil, showed how down-the-row mech­ anical thinners had saved at least $6 per acre in hoeing costs. He said mechanically-thinned beets gave better stands and had grown more vigorously with fewer set­ backs from hail and thinning operations, than hand - thinned beets. Director of Western Ontario Experimental, farm, Professor J. C. Steckley, long-time special ad­ visor to C. & D. agriculturalists, described cattle feeding tests, and speeches on sugar beet diseases and insect controls were made by Dr. A. A. Hildebrand of Harrow, and George Manson, of Chatham. Trophies were presented by A. A. Wright, recently retired man­ ager of the Wallaceburg sugar plant, to champion sugar beet growers for 1952. Valentine Mat- lo.vich of the eight to 10 acre division; Jim McGuigan of the 10- to 20-acre division, and Law­ rence Kerr of the over 20 acre division. Many distinguished v i s i I o rs such' as Dr. W. R. Reek, president emeritus of O.A.C., have ex­ pressed the hope this demonstra­ tion farm will continue as they consider it of great value to far­ mers in southwestern Ontario.
