necessity for a program for each farmer nowadays to prevent producing at a loss and if possible make a reason able profit a fanner must be on the alert and keep well posted in all that pertains to agriculture and especially to his particular district writes r bordeleau dominion experimental station lassomptlon p q keen competition between agricultural re gions and even between countries the present war and surpluses of certain crops au tend to reduce the margin or profit in the production of farm pro ducts thus the necessity for a pro gram for each farmer is made appar ent and at the presentjjine during the winter months when he is not rushed with farm work the farmer is afforded the best opportunity in the year for making a comprehensive and detailed review or checkup of his op erations during the past year there are many questions a farmer can ask himself is my present crop system wea adapted to the type of sou on my farm is the rotation i follow the right one do i fertilise my crops a complete and economical way are the yields satisfactory and are they obtained eoonomlcauy do i still pro duce crops which used to- pay in the past and now entail annual loatai on account of uncontrollable circum stances why cannot x sell my pro ducts is it because of faulty grad ing or the unattractive manner jn which they are offered to the buyer do i follow the market requirements in this regard does my herd still con tain boarders which do not pay their way on accou of their low produc tion are there certain new crops which i could grow with good results to the soil with labour and agricultural nut chines available these and other questions may bepondered over when these questions have 1 thought out the point arises as where the necessary information advice towards improvement is to be obtained there are many such sour ces of information there are the do minion experimental farms and sta tions the dominion illustration sta tions the colleges of agriculture the middle schools of agriculture and the district representatives they are spread all over canada and are in di rect touch with the farmer further the farmer has at his disposal numer ous dominion and provincial publica tions expressly written by agricultural experts these publicauins arc given free of charge upon request and may be obtained from the provincial partments of agriculture or in rase of the dominion department of agriculture from the publicity and extension division ottawa in case of doubt as to the exact publication desired the fanner can write for the list of pnhllratlons and at his leisure mark the publications he needs from time to ume there are abo the cooperatives and various other associations which are intimately concerned in farm prob lems and may

division experimental farm service dominion department of agriculture determine whether pastures are more thoroughly grazed when using two classes of animals together as compared with sheep alone it was ob served that when sheep and steers were together weeds were more easily controlled especially canada thistle very few thistles were found in the a- rea grazed by the two classes of stock while an abundance grew on the field grazed by sheep alone a denser more evenly grazed sward resulted from the two classes of stock grazing together in the same ajrea over the seven years there was no significant difference in the yield of dry matter on the field used but in 1938 and 1939 the field pastured by sheep and steers gave a considerably higher yield of green and dry matter than did the field that was pastured sheeponly from the animal gains standpoint the mixed grazing had given notably superior results over grazing by sheep alone the average daily gains lambs on the mixed grazing lots was considerably superior to that of those on pastures grazed by sheep alone its pasture improvement work the field husbandry division plans and super vises experiments with rates dates formulae and methods of applying commercial fertilizer cultural methods used in breaking up and reseedlng or bnproving pastures and various me thods of pasture management live stock carryi capacity of pastures is also determined in cooperation with the division of animal husbandry this then was the island i drove up throughrocky new eng land pa the green meadows the neat farmhouses and barns in the afternoon i took the ferry boat for the island the boat was clean and white and smelled of fish and from its deck 1 saw ror the first time the breath- halting beauty of the maine coast the blue water the green horizon the jutting rocks as the ferry drew near i saw hal on the rock in his wlndbreaker and old trousers with his silver head shining- in the clear sun he could not wait for the boat to dock butstood wai ting and calling up to me what do you think of maine and i waved and called back marvelous its wond erful its magnificent and the people around me laughed hal and i in an ancient taxi rattled up the winding road and the steep hill to the inn with its ell that had toeen added to the original house his moth er was standing in the kitchen door with his aunt meg and the cook and the maid i met them all and they took me through the kitchen across the dining room into a room with four poster bed and white curtains all of them asking what do you think of maine what do you think of the island do you think youll like it here it was late in the season septem ber in fact and all the summer guess of the inn were gone we had dinnei for the last time in the diningroom that night because the maid and lh cook were leaving they left at nine oclock calling out as they set forth across the lawn in a path of light from the door goodinlght hal good night eda goodnight meg i said with considerable surprise but they called you all by your first names hal laughed of course they did why shouldnt they we went to school to gether and aunt meg and eda sold thats the woy it is on the island were all the sime here everybody works together and thats the way it was on the island in the mornings i would wake and go out to the kitchen and aunt meg would be there cooking hot cakes or a

in her cherished garden there were three good hearty meals a day with sometimes a cup of tea and megs cookies at about four oclock the talk was of books and weather and the difference between new

inlet and came down the short main street of the village to the postofflee wh nearly everybody stood waiting for the mail back of the inn were the moors and off to the right surging against the rocks the sea sometimes gray and fierce with foam and there- was a grassy ledge above the sea where a man could lie sleepy in the sun and could say over poems or shout them and be sure there were no listeners except perhaps the gulls this then was the island the a the moors the rocks the frame buildings along the main street in the- village the post twice a day a dance saturday night the life there was simple and day in day out the talk was the same it was a good ume that i spent there and i like looking out at the blazing skyline of manhattan to think of the tolks there the island ers
