REPAIR FARM
MACHINERY NOW
(Experimental Farms News)
Ian haying time last year a farmer
lost ten hours of time and . made two
special trips to town for repairs when.
a mower broke down. A small cast-
ing., 'which costs less than one dollar,
was lost in the hay field and the
mower could not be operated until it
was replaced, This delay could have
been avoided and valuable time
saved for a cost of one cent, as the !
delay was caused by a cotter-pin which
wore off and allowed the casting to
fall off" the mower. If this pin had
been inspected and replaced before the
haying season started, the hay crop
would have been harvested earlier with
less labour hours and at a lower cost,
observes W. Kalbfleisch, Agricultural
Engineer, Central Experimental Farm,
Ottawa..
Next summer many `last minute' re-
pairs will not be possible due to con-
ditions caused 'by the war. Provision
has been made for the production of
a large volume of repair parts, but all
dealers may not have all the parts
whicho may be required at a moment's
notice. Because of difficulties in
transportation and in estimating the
requirements of each- district, it is
necessary .to order repair parts early
so that the Machinery dealers can
place the required repair parts in
stock.
Both labour and money can be sav-
ed by ordering repair parts now and
by thoroughly overhauling machinery
and equipment this winter.
To determine the repair parts which
are required every machine should be
inspected. After the first order of
parts are obtained the machines should
be overhauled and all additional re-
pair parts ordered so that they can be
used when the =chilies are being as-
sembled.
Not only should field machinery be
overhauled, but if pumps, grinders,
feed hoppers and other such equip-
ment are reconditioned now, labour'
can be saved next summer.

SOIL SURVEY
AND CROPS
Some fields are better suited to one.
crop than to others due to differences
in Fertility, presence or absence of
greater amounts of free lime, varia-
tions in acidity, differences in textures
and physical conditions, and so on.
Soil surveys conducted by tilt
Dominion Experimental Farms Sery
ice, in co-operation with the Provinc
ail Departments of Agriculture, in
volve the study of soil characteristics.
From these surveys and from observ-
ations of the crops in the field, it
possible to indicate, with reasonable
accuracy, the crops which are best
suited for each soil, and which crow
are unsuitable.
Some crops grow satisfactorily on
a wide range of soils, while others
can only be grown with success on
soils having certain characteristics.
Many soils, although mot naturally
adapted for certain crops, can, by pro-
per • treatement and management, be
maces to produce such crops satisfact-
orily.
It has been established that most
black muck soils, which are naturally
not very well suited for grain crops
anti pasture, are excellent market ,gar-
den soils. Marty of tire poor, dry,
sandy soils, considered useless for
farming purposes, are well adapted
for flue-,cured tobacco, by reason of
their good^ drainage, absorption of
heat, and low nitrogen content. Apple
trees demand a well-drained soil and
a friable, porous subsoil for good root
development, and an absence of large
amounts of free lime, which lowers
the quality of the fruit. Successful
potato growing is invariably associat-
ed with well-drained, fairly acid soils
of reasonably light textures, Stith as
foams and sandy loares, Flax .and
sugar beets seem to do, particularly
well on 'fairly heavy soils, such as
clay learns Ari0 clays, with a high nat-
ural fertility level, 'Grain and hay
crops grow satisfactorily on a wide
variety of soils, provided *the soils
have a reasonably good level of fer-
tility, 6m alfalfa and, to a lesser ex-
tent, red clover do not tolerate acid
conditions, and 'thrive best on soils
containing some free lime. Many
soils, which are mot naturally adapted
to farm crops, grow good stands of
thriber, pulp, or treWonit The most
I efficient use of such. land is in fora-
I try.
