EXPERIMENTAL AGRICULTURE

VALUE TO THE FARMERS

my Size or ralteij

Prof. Smindei's said : It ivilonls mu a i^roat deal of pk-aauro, indeed
I bu witli yim tn-duy, a d(>iil)lu pliaMiiru for the reason that last year
iieu yiiur Secretary was kind enouyli to invitt^ nie to come to your
IuuhI meeting, an I I had made every airangenient to attend, the eve-
pi;' befi»re 1 was wicked with a violent illntM.s wliioii contiued me to my

fur some days, i liavo liHtened with much interest to your iliscussion
jsiibjccts connecied wiih farming which are of so much importance to
lui'selves and to the ro intry. I think it is a good sign when institutes
Itliis kind are so well patronized and so well attended, notwithstanding

iiicluiiieiicy of the weather ; when farmers meet together to discuss

results of their own exj)erience, the character of the crops they have
[iwii undur dillei'ent conditions of soil, and dill'erent circumstances, and
Jiiiaie notes and tiieriby benetit each other by the mterch^tnge of ideas
■all such matters. It indicates that a community uf this sort consists
Itliiiiking men. A farming connnunity that exercises itself in that
li'ctioii will always bo a prosperous one, and will be well to the front in
|ile))iirtniunt8 of agricultural work.

AURICULTUKK AND KXI'KKIMENTaL SCIENCE.

Agriculture is and always has been an experimental science, and in

I very nature of the subject it must always be. Most of the experience

IliHvu ill agriculture has been ■ btained by the practical experimenting

Jiidividual farmers, a few facts gleaned here and tiiere, and these added

y> onu 1,'i'L'at sum constitute our i>rrsent knowledge of tl e art. Up to

hill a recent period very little had been done either by societies or by

only about tliirty years ago that the first agricultural experimental

part of the world to bring to bear on farming operations the benefits

started in other parts of Germany, and they have gained in popular fav
from year to year until now, in most countries in Europe holding a
thing like an advanced position in agriculture, there are many of tlii
experimental institutions where acieniitic work is carried on it'i,'ularj
the results are given to the farming community, and they reap tlio ben
of the experience so gained for tliom. From tht itset tho cost
maintenance of those institutions has been borne almost ontiruly by
Government of the country in which they are located.

THR VALUE OF SCIKNTIFIO KXPKHIMKNTS TO THE FARMER.

It has often been asked, "Of what practical use are those iu.-ititutii
to the farmer?" Well, there are many experiments which could a

' should be carried on to benefit the agriculturists which deiiuuid \m

j time, more risk and more c ireful attention than farmers can attoid
give, and the use of apparatus which farmers have not at their coiiimai

I in order to work out satisfactorily all the details connected with tliu tes!

I so that thjre are classes of experiments wliich farmers cannot well uiidi
take for themselves, and which are of great value to the community.

GLOVER AS AN At;C€MULATOR OF NITROGEN.

There is not a farmer present, I presume, but knows the value
clover as a green manure. It is a subject that everyone is faniilianfil
and there is, perhaps, no plant at present known which is so vahialile;
I agent in nourishing the soil as a good crop of clover i)loughed in s,'i
j If anyone asks why it is so, he is usually met with the answer, "we kn
it is so because it is the result of our experience." Now it we bi
chemistry to bear on the question, we find that clover contains a Isi
proportion of an element which is a very important fertilizer of tlie
— nitrogen. This element exists in the soil in considerable proportii
It is found in every soil, and it forms as well the great bulk of
atmosphere we breathe. In the soil it exists in two conditions : ((
form, which is called available nitrogen, is that form in which plants
take up readily as food ; while in the other form, known as unavaili
nitrogen, is locked up in the soil and cannot be assimilated as jilaiiti
until it has undergone a change, which is usually brought about in ini
gradual manner by the cultivation of the soil and the exposure of e'
part of it to the action of the atmosphere, which gradually couverts
unavailable nitrogen into the available form, and in that way the ferti
of the soil is partially maintained. It has been shown by analysis
clover accumulates nitrogen in a large proportion from some source dui
its growth. It is Jiot definitely known whether this nitrogen i.s olit.i!
from that whioh in unavailable to other plants, or from the air ; but
known that a given weight of clover contains nearly fifty times asii
of this valuable element, as the same weight of the wheat plant. Hi
if clover, with its weight of fertility, is ploughed under, it gives to]
soil a dressing which will serve for the enriching of several succei
crops.

UNKNOWN .STORES OP NirHOGEN.

The knov/ledge of this fact in connection with clover leads to ami
consideration. Clover is only one member of a very large family of plj
which include all the lupins, vetches, tares, itc, souie of wbidi
natives of this country and souie of foreign countries. If clover hai|
quality of storing up nitrogen, other plants may have the same nnd«
a supei'ior power in that direction, one can at once see that hero issi
for experiment in a direction which would be exceedingly valuable tt|

bole farming community! to ascertain which of the leguminous plants,
lany, are as go(xl or better than clover for this purpose. There are
Ime native to the North of Europe and many more found in difl.'erent

ctions of this great Dominion, all of which should be experimented
in order to ascertain whether they could not be made useful to
[riculture, for it has been well said that the power of one plant to store

I fdoci fur future crops of other plants lies at the very foundation of duc-
Issfui aifriculture. Nitrogen is abundant in all animal fertilizers, and it
Itlie presence of that element which gives to these fertilizers their chief
llue.

IMPORTANOR OF PERMANENT PASTURES.

Anotlier point which I might use in illustration is the importance to
j'lnors of permanent pastures for cattle. It is very uncertain, in view of
le immense fertile wheat-growing plains which we have in the North-
les', whether farmers in the east will be able to compete in grain grovv-

: with the farmers of the Prairie Piovinces. Indeed it is very doubtful
Itliey can. In that case the farmers of Eastern Canada will have to fall
Ick on such lines of agriculture as they can make most profitable, and
le of these is stock raising. Permanent pasture may be delined as a
jxture of perennial grasses containing those which will ripen at diflferent
Iriods during the season. A crop of timothy ripens and is harvested
rly in the year, after whicl: there is a long period when that field is

eless for the purpose of pasture, and not until the growth is strong
lough, and has body enough to provide good grazing, would a farmer
pnk (if pasturing his cattle on it. But in permanent pastures j^ou get a
[ection of grasses, which live from year to year, some in the middle of

I aununer, and others later on, so that the cattle may have a succession
[that succulent food which they need and have it in such abundance as
enable them to put on Hash rapidly.

PROVIDENCE HAS

NOT PLACED ALL THE GOOD GRASSES IN ANY ONE
PART OF THE WORLD.

Most of the grasses which we have in cultivation have come to us
bm various parts of Europe, and there are some varieties in our own
untry which are (luite as promising, perhaps, as some of the European
In my late journey in the North-West I paid some attention to
native grasses, and found varieties there which seem to me to be
^ite pronrising, judging from tlieir habit of growth, and from the fact
ftt cattle show such a preferc.ioe for theia. When brought under culti-
|tion, tliere may be found among tfiem species quite ecjual and perhaps
perior in some respects to those at present in use. There are also in

North- West and in the Wcfteru States, some varieties which are
bable of standing very dry weather, and some others adapted to very
Id climates. By tri'owing judicious mixtures of these grasses, we hope
lascertaiu their true value. This important work will be carried on
pensively at the Experimental Farm, and the object will be to show
lich are the best varieties, bring them into notice, and also to take
I'll steps as will make them available to farmers. There are a score or
m ditlerent kinds of grasses which can bo obtained from seed dealers
|E\iropi3 and other countries, many of which would lie exceedingly uso-
if their valuable ([ualities were better known. These facts serve to
uw that tliero !ive lines of experimental work whi-^h at tirat sight might
|)far trivial, but are exjiectid in the end to produc results of great im-
rtance to the stock interests of this country. Such experiments cannot

be undertaken by the farmer. Few of you eould afford tlie time nrexl
pense required to travel to the North- West and other places in search iJ
such products ; but if this can be done for you, tlie information ohtaindl
for your guidance and the material made available for your use ; yd
must admit that great good is likely to result from such work.

DEGENERATION OF ROOTS AND CEREALS.

All our cereals, roots and tubers are, to a great extent, artificial y\
ducts. You do not find wheat, oats or barley growing anywlieni itl
nature, as we have them now ! You do not find potatoes like tlioseiJ
cultivation growing wild. The potato originated from an insiuniticMil
wild variety, which, by cultivation and careful hybridization, li;i8 l)wl
brought to its present high standard of excellence. So with wheat, uaJ
and barley, and all field crops. These imjiroved j^lants and roots, <,'iii«
as they are, are liable to constant variation and to fre']uent deterionitkl
— that is, they often "run out." If you recall the varieties of grain i
potatoes which were grown twenty years ago, you will find verj' few J
them to-day. This points to the importance of continuous experinieiitJ
work with new varieties of grain and other crops, so that by the fro(|mrif
introduction (as in the case of stock) of new blood there may be iinpartfil
to these products that vigour of growth and fertility of character whitlf
will admit of there being cultivated to greater perfection and protit.

WASTEFUL FARMING.

Our farming during the past has not always been conducted in tkJ
most economical manner. Crops have sometimes not been sown will
needed promptness, the fertilizers at command have not been inadet'/
best of, and much land that would have yielded good results has for .vatj
of proper drainage and care remained uij])roductive to the owner. Ln
to the country has also resulted frcmi lack of information regardin«ty
necessity of a proper rotati(m of cro]>s. Canadian farmers will re(|iiiret|
be mare careful in these particulars if they would maintain fortlifl
country in these days of keen coni])etiti(m and improved appliances tla
well deserved pre-eminence in agriculture which .she has hitherto eiijoyo
I might enlarge here indefinitely, but perliai>s 1 have .said enougli iiitlj
few thoughts presented to siiow that there is practically no Hniit toeil
perimental work, the results of which, when its true value is deterniiwj
and made known, will bo of inestimable consecpience to farmers evii
where ; and when I say that the experimental farms establislioil by J
Dominion Government are to take up this class of work especially. aJ
report on it frequently for the benefit of the farmers, T think I liave fiiil
answered the question, "Wh^t good will those farms be to the a!,'riei
tural community ?" The establishment of so many of these exin'iinieiil
institutions in Europe led to the cfmsideratiim of the subject in Aineric
and about thirteen years ago the first of these experimental stations \va
established in the State of Conneticut. Since then a number of siira
institutions have been started, suppf>rted by annual grants from the ki
laturcs of the different States in which they have been located, untiltl
importance of the subject has so grown on the farmers ill the I
States that for a year or two j)ast the pef)plo have been agitating fur mil
libeial support from the general Oovernment for such instituti'iiis,
last year Congress passed a bill known as "The Hatch Rill," wliidii
vides for an annual aiipropriation of nearly ^'500,000, to be divii
amongst the different States, to bo devoted entirely to this experimei:]
work in agriculture, horticulture and forestry. In the meantime '|

Canadian Government has also been looking after the interest of the

farmers. In. 1884 they appointed a conniiittee to en(|uire into this

rniation ubtiuned^HBubject, and from the opinions expressed by practical farmers, who

vere called before this committee, the Government were led to con-
sider the expediency of

PROVIDING KXPERIMENTAL FARMS FOR CANADA.

Our worthy Premier, Sir John Macdonald, who always takes the
varmest interest in everything that tends to the prosperity of agricultural
^jlasses, asked Parliament for an appropriation of $20,000 towards the
purchase of a site for an experimental farm. In November of that year
was reffiiestef' by the Government to visit the different agricultural
ktatimis in the United States ; and also to ascertain by correspondence
the working of similar institutions in Eurojju, and to prepjvre a report for
ihe Government which miuht give them such additional information as
ihey reijuired in order to reacli some conclusion regarding this work of
Bxperimeiital agriculture. 1 travelled through all the W';stern and
Northern States, and visited every agricultural institution located any-
vhere near the Canadian boundary, and submitted a report of my investi-
gations. The result was the passage of the bill known as "An Act re-
specting Experimental Farm Stations," which provided for the establish-
■uent of tive experimental farms, one of which was to be located near
])ttawa, to serve the purposes of Ontario and Quebec, jointly; one in
[he Maritime Provinces, to serve the purposes of these provinces jointly ;
t)iie in Manitoba • one in the North-West Territories, and one in British
!!)oluuibia.

THE ORJBCTS AIMED AT

In establishing those farms might be be better presented to you perhaps
In the working of the Act itself. The works to be undertaken were as
follows :

(».) Conduct rescearches and verify experiments designed to test the
hlative value, for all purposes, of different breeds of stock, and their
Idaptability to the varying climatic or other conditions Avhich prevail in
|he several provinces and in the North-West Territories ;

(b.) Examine into the economic (juestions involved in the production of
t)utter and cheese ;

(c. ) Test the merits, hardiness and adaptability of new or untried
hrieties of wheat or other creals, and of field crops, grasses and forage-
blants, fruits, vegetables, plants and trees, and disseminate among per-
lons engaged in farming, gardening or fruit growing, uj)on such condi-
lions as are prescribed by the Minister, samples of the surplus of such
products as are considei-ed to be specially worthy of inti'oduction ;

(d.) Analyse fertilizers, whether natural or artificial, and conduct ex-
Nriinents witii such fertilizers, in order to test their comparative value
p applied to crops of different kinds ;

(e.) Examine into the composition and digestibility of foods for domes-
tic animals ;

(f.) Conduct experiments in the planting of trees for timber and for
Ihelter.

(g) Examine into the diseases to which cultivated plants and trees are

|ubject, and also into the ravages <if destructive insects, and ascertain and

est tlie nmat useful preventives and remedies to be used in eacli case ;

(h) Investigate the diseases to which domestic animals are subject ;

(i.) Ascertfvhi the vibility and purity of agricultural seeds ; and] ^^

(j.) Conduct any other experiments and researches bearing upon the I
agricultural industry of Canada, which are approved by the Ministur.

It will be seen from this category that provision is made for uxperi 1
mental work in all departments of Hi(riciilture in each of the Provinces. 1
In order to carry on this work the Act aufhorized the employmuut (jfaj
director, who was to have supervision of all the institutions; of a Horti [
culturist, who was to take charge of the department of horticulture nt I
Ottawa; of a Botanist and Entomologist (the two offices combined), and j
I am happy to say that Mr. Fletcher, the gentleman appointed totliati
important branch, is present and will be able to speak for liiiiiself, Itj
also provided for the appointment of a Chemist, whose duty it will betol
analyse fertilizers and conduct all chemical operations; and also for the I
appointment of an Agriculturist who shall be specially charged witli the]
management of the field crops and stock. When the site for the Centrall
Experimental Farm was located, possession of it was not secured until j
November of last year — too late to accomplish much, but there was founilj
time to plough about 20 acres and gather up some loose stones that were!
scattered over the ground. Winter then set in and i)ut a stop to all cutf
door work until the spring. In the meantime a small building was eiect-j
ed for an ofhce and a glass structure in which

TO TEST THE VITA MTV OF SEEDS,

which was one of the works the Act prescribed should be undertakenl
This work was successfully carried on last winter, and 187 sauii)les ofl
wheat and other cereals, grass seeds and other field crops, were sent intfji
the institution to be tested. The vitality of these were determined andl
the percentage that would grow under favorable conditions reported to|
the farmers sending them as promptly as possible. That department ^
work has been of much practical value, as will be seen from the bulletiiij
that will be issued from the farm very shortly, giving details of this W(jrk.|
It resulted in farmers being saved, in many instances, from sowiusj
which would have given them very little return, for their labour. In tli«|
harvesting of grain it sometimes happens that after it has been cut aiii
put in the mow it will heat and its vitality as seed will be injured ; thenj
are other causes also which may occur which so affect seed grain astJ
make its germination more or less a matter of uncertainty. The Experil
mental Farm offers to any farmer in the Dominion the advantages o|
sending in, free of postage, samples of seed to be tested in the soil ani
also in another form, in duplicate, one test being a check on the dtlierj
and returns are made to the farmers without any charge or ex])eiise,
hope that the gentlemen present, will all of them avail themselves of tliJ
advantages offered in this department of our work as freely as they thiiii
fit. We shall not complain of any number of samples being sent, aiifj
shall endeavor to meet any requisition that may be made on us in tha
respect. Seed testing has already begun, and we should like to havi
samples sent in as early as possible, so that there may not be too inuchu
a rush as seed time approaches. It sometimes takes a fortnight or thn
weeks to properly test the germinating power of some seeds.

EVRLY RIPENING WHEAT.

Another matter undertaken during the past winter was the iin|)on
tion from Northern Russia of an early ripening wheat. Farmers in sun
parts of the North- West have suffered several years, some seasons inuj
worse than others, from frozen wheat, and it was believed that if a viu'itl
of wheat could be obtained that would ripen a week earlier than any ^

FOR THE BENEFIT OF YOUR

I at present available it WQuld result in most instances in the saving of the
[crop. While frozen wheat has some value still the saving of the crf.p
Ifroin frost would make a difference to the farmers of between 55ct8., and
about iiocts. per bushel. The new seed wheat was obtained from a dis-
Itrict in Russia, 600 miles norHi of where we are to-day, and where the
Iseiison is nmch shorter than in any of the settled portions of our North-
jWest Territories. This wheat has ripened from ten to fifteen days earlier
jtliim finy other variety of wheat cultivated there. It has shown great
Ivitivlity, and is believed to be nearly, if not quite equal, in every respect,
Ito iiny other sort in cultivation. In Ontario and Quebec it has not suc-
Iceeded so well on account of the dry season we have had. In consequence
lofits early ripening quality it has not had quite the chance that later
iripeiiing varieties have had, and hence the grain is somewhat shiivelled,
Ibut in the Maritime Provinces, where they have had no more moisture, it
Ihiis turned out very well, so that we have every reason to believe that
Ithe introduction of this Russian wheat will be exceedingly valuable to
jthe Dominion. We also obtained seed of many other varieties of wheat,
Ibarley, oats and potatoes, to be tested at the Central Experimental Farm.
14 large ])art of the farm was in rather rough condition at the outset.
JMuch of it had been occupied by tenants for a number of years, and
Ithere was a large amount of stone on the surface. There was also some
Iforty acres of swamp on the back part of it. The greater part of the land
Iwas good, l)ut required much work to get it into jirnper order. The re-
jmovai of stones and internal fences was promptly undertaken, but by the
Itnue the land was got in order it was too late to do very much in the way

lot seeding.

THE season's tests.

AMS & CO.,

However, we have tested during the year quite a number of varieties

lof gniiu, among the rest 07 varieties of spring wheat, 31 of barley, 60 of

loats and 246 varieties of potatoes. On account of the hot, dry season

■being unfavorable for grain and potatoes, we have not obtained such ^ood

|resiilts as we otherwise should have done ; hut we have succeeded with a

considerable number of varieties in obtaining very fair crops, and shall

jliave from the sniall quantities begun with a sufficiency of seed to test

those varieties under more favorable conditions another year.

CLEARINQ, DRAINING AND BUILI^ING.

There were <m the Experimental Farm about 140 acres of land which
vas covered with ])ine stump.s, amongst which there was a strong second
Igr'nvth of poplar and birch. This laud has all been reclaimed by blowing
tiip the stumps with dynau\ite, and rcotiuir up the ])oj)lars, iUid it is all

A nEl'REHKNTi TIVE CLIMATE.

Ottawa may be said to be fairly representative in climate of a large
area in the two provinces of Ontario and Quebec ; hence it is important
to determine there not only what cereals and farm crops can ba raised,
but aho what varieties of fruit can be produced, as fruit trees are gener-
ally taken by strant^ers and visitors as an indication of the character of
the climate jirevailing in the district, and are appreciated much mdre
readily than crops of grain or roots would be. It is also important that
the people in eveiy district should be able to grow their own fruit, and
thereby add not only to the attractiveness of their homes and surround- |
ings, but also to the profits attending farm work. The impression luia
])revailed that the Ottawa district is not a good fruit growing section ;
but I think it is quite possible and wholly probable that varieties of fruit
can be introduced whicU will be found exceedingly usefid and very i)rotit-
able to cultivate. On the farm there have been jjlaut^d, under the direc-
tion of the horticulturist, VV. W. Hilborn, 1,000 apple trees, iuchuliiis;!
297 different varieties ; 298 pears, of 114 varieties; 197 plums, of 72 1
varieties ; 11 varieties of peeches ; 4 of apricots and 27 of crab apples.
In small fruits also a jjreat deal has been done. The planting includes I
127 varieties of grapes, 90 of strawberries, 37 of raspberries, 21 of black- 1
berries and 16 of currants, besides which there are a number of new seed-
lings being tested. We do not expect or hope that all those varieties will
be usefui, but it is expected that among them will be found s.ime of super-
ior excellence which will be adapt =>d to the r eds of the cunnnunity liero,
as well as some fitted equally well for other climates of the Dominion,
As to the botanical and entomological departments of the work, the ofticerl
in charge of them (Mr. Fletcher) is here and will speak for himself. .\[
skilful chemist, Mr. F. T. Shutt, has been appointed, who will under- j
take th» analj'sis of soils, crops, grasses, etc.: also the analysi.s of mi
from the difi'erent breeds of cattle, and such other chemical work as mav|
be needed.

A POULTRY DEPARTMENT.

It is also pro|)osed to establish a poultry department. The develop-l
ment of the poultry interest in Canada has been very rapid, and the a\
ports of jjoultry products now foot up a sum that is astonishing. Tlieyj
exceed in amiamt our exports of horses, and it has become a suhjeott
such importance that it is thought necessary that some experiments i
that line should be carried on to determine the relative value of the dil
ferent breeds and crosses foi the production of eggs and dressed poiiitril
for the markets. Enough has been said, I hope, to show the importaii«l
of this great undertaking foi the benefit and advancement of agricnlture.r
in which both the Premier and the Minister of Agriculture take so warnil
an interest. No effort will be spared to make these institutions a success,!
and they will, 1 trust, stand as permanent jjroofs of the wisdom liiid fore-l
thought of our great statesmen, the Premier, and the Hon. the MinisteJ
of Agriculture, and confer lasting benehts on the farmers of ('anadi|
(Ap]»lause.)

Mr. Fouell — I would like to ask Prof. Saunders if the soil absorbs tktj
nitrogen contained in the second growth of clover that is allowed to i
main on the ground and rot ?

Prof. Saunders — I sliould scarcely expect that that portion of M

ided in tho same

at that portion

nitrogen which is contained in the foliage of the plant would be co well
])reserve(l to tlie sr)il when it is allowed to remain on the surface, as when
ploughed under; but the analysis of the roots of clover shows that a much
ifirger proportion of nitrogen exists in the roots than in the leaves ; sf)
that the fact of the clover growini; t'lere would enrich tlie soil, and some
portion of the nitrogen in the leaves, by tlie process of decay, would
eventually become incorporated with tlie soil and act as a fertilizer.

Mr. Darling — At what state in the growth of the plant would the
uuist benefit be derived by ploughing it under I

Prof. Saunders — Plants are always richest in their constituents about
the flowering period. It might sometimes be considered too great a
sacrilice of the crop to j)lough it under when tit to cut f(tr hay ; but that
is the time when the ploughing of it would bo of the greatest benefit to
the soil.

Mr, Moffat — Have you yet undertaken any experiments to determine
the best breeds of cattle for dairying purposes in Canada I

Prof. Saunders — Not yet ; we are waiting until the Jiecessary build-
ings are put up, when it is intended to undertake, as fast as practicable,
those different dei)artnients of work. Thcjse which seem to the tuinister
to be most pressing will, of course, be the tirst undertaken. It will be
iiiipo-ssible to undertake every department at the outset, as there are live
different farms to be established and organized.

INSECT AND PLANT PARASITES.

Mk. FLETCHER was next called upon to address the Institute.
He said: It is a great pleasure to one who makes a special study of any
particular branch oi knowledge, which he considers is of use to the coni-
inunity at large, to have the privilege of addressing such a nieetin<f as
this. Those who take the trouble to attend these meetings are the men
who take the most interest in the work with which auch institutes as yours
are concerned, and, therefore, though the attendance may sometimes be
small it must always be conceded that those who come represent the best
class of your members and are the ones who will derive most benefit from
such mectiu.'s. Prof. Saunders has told vou that he honed to get some
mforniation from j'ou that would be useful in his work at the Experimen-
tal Farm. This is nn less the case with me in the departments which
have been placed under my charge at Othasva, and 1 hope I may be able
to show yipii that it will bo tu your advantage to assist me. He has told
you tiiat 1 am the Entomologist and Botanist of the institution. It is
true this is my title, and these arc fine sounding words, but they are not
easily enough understood b}' everybody, so when I am asked what my
Work JH, I answer — to .study injurious insects and plants and the best
remedies to keei> them down. As you all ki'ow, a very large pro])ortion
"! your croj)s is taken away from you, year by year, by insects ; there is
also a huge amount destroyed annually by injurious jiiants.

THE ENTOMOtOOIST AND BOTANI.ST.

1 will now with your permission give you some idea of the work it is
inoposud to carry out in my depa'tnients at the Central Experimental

GOOD HAT IS AT THE

I shall do my best to make this bmnch of our experimental work succeed;
but 1 sliall look to the farmers for assistauce. In a vast territory lil(e
Canada it ia impossible that any one man can take in the wliole field df
ftbservation alone. It is possible, however, if that one man gives nil his
attention t(j the work and he is assisted by correspondents in the diti'er-
ent provinces that his studies may bring about results of general heiietit
to the whole Dominion. It is in the hands of every farmer who ia a prac-
tical observer and who grows his crops with ail his mental energies direct-
ed towards their improvement to aid by sending in the result of his obser-
vations. It has been said that the ordinary faruier is unable to assist m
these scientific studies. This is not the case. A very small fact is of
value if it is the result of what the farmer has actually seen take jjlaeemi
his farm, a true record of that one fact is of itself iiiipnrtar.t, and wlieii
added to the observations of others may fill a missing link in our kiiuw-
ledge on any given subject, and is, therefore, of great use to science, for
science is simply a word that ia used for "'he best knowledge. " It is a
word that is a])t to frighten people, but it is only the Latin word fur
knowini' or knowledge. Then if you will helj) by sending in any STiiail
facts that come under your notice they will be an assistance to other
farmers all over the country, for they will be incorporated in repoits and
will be distributed far and wide ail over the Dominioji. Arraiigeiiieiits
have been made by which this intercourse can be facilitated with tlie least
j)i>8sible trouble am., expense to farmers. When crops show signs of dis-
ease it is of great importance to discover the nature of the injuries and
see whether tliey are of insect or vegetable origin. If anyone finds his
crops attacked in anv way, and he will send specimens of the plants at-
tacked— this can be loue free of postage — in most cases infoniiiitioii
respecting the trouble will be obtainable from the Experimental P'ariii at
Ottawa. Efforts will be made to have this institution recognized as a

BUREAU OF INFORMATION

to which any farmer who desires i 'formation concerning agricultural mat-
ters can write. It is hardly likely that the doctor will have time to attend
to all these himself ; but he will hand the letter to wiioever the officer
may be in charge of the special department in<)uired into, and the desire
of the director is, as he has told you, that farmers should not hesitate to
write to hiiu for any information whatever concerning their fanning I
operations. Those inquiries recjuiring infonuati'in concerning insects urj
plants, will come to me, and 1 shall attend to them at once, and shall en-
deavor to trive you as much information as possible. As well as letters,
you can "end samples to Ottawa to our headquarters to be examined and
reported up(m free of charge. This is an important advantage to you.

I INJURIOUS INShCTS.

Let me now say a few words with regard to the injurii.'s connnitted
every year by insects. Tliese aie so enormous and so well known that
probably no one iiere will ohallange the proi)riety of the (jiovernment
luiviiig appointed simieone to devote his wliolu time to the study of the
bust means of keeping their ravages within bounds. 1 will give you a few
tigmes which have been carefully \erihi'd as to the extent to which these
injuries ma} reach. In the tir-st place, it may be stated geneially that 10
percent, of all crops grown is annually destroyod by insects. Frequently,
luiwever, this proportion is far exceeded. In 1882 one of several kinds
of insects wliich attack the hop in England reduced tlie crop by the value
of Slo,000,000. In the 1874 report of the United States Commissioner
(if Agriculture it is stated that the loss on the cotton croj) by insects is
about ^25,000,000 a year. In 1873 the money value of wiieat and corn
destroyed in the State of lllhiois by one insect called the chinch-bug was
873,000,000. No wonder then that there is consternation at tlie present
time in tliat State where this insect has again appeared in numbers. To
come nearer home, in 1854 the wheat midge destroyed in Canada 8,000,000
buslicls of wheat. It becomes a necessity then tiiat someone sliould be
fi])pointed to investigate these subjects and try if possible to tind practical
remedies which farmers can apjily for themselves. I have stated that
ten per cent, of all crops is destroyed by these pests. I believe J might
without exaggeration say twice this amount, but it is better to be under
than beyond the mark. You may say, "This is all very tine your telling
us about these losses by insects — have you any remedy — can you give us
any hoiie of relief from their ravages i 1 answer, yes ; certainly 1 can if
you will help me. I believe that all these insects, when their life-histor-
ies are studied out and their habits ascertained, can be kept down in a
very large degree. Let me give you one instance which 1 have frequent-
ly cited before, because it is tjiken from the practical work of practical
men. If you will take the trouble to look up the last census you will see
that the revenue from one small crop — the clover-seed crop — was half a
million dollars at the time the census was taken. Three years ago the
revenue from the crop was reduced to nothing. There was not a grain of
clover-seed exported, and why I Because a little fly, so small that it
would lie on the head of a pin, had gradually worked its way up from the
Puited States and had got into our clover fields and attacked them so
severely that there was no crop to reap. People began to give up grow-
ing clover seed. Finally the farmery put their heads together and con-

suited with those who studied insects, aud said, "here is a great trouble
coming uj)()ii us, and we must have some remedy." "Well," .said tin
entomologists, "let iia look into tiie matter and Hnd out what is tin.'
nature of the insect, and what is its life-history, and then i)erliai).s wo can
lind a remedy." Now, I will mention hero what perhaps soiuo of jdu
know, before insects attain their j)erfect devehipement they pHs.s timm!,']]
four stages. When wo talk of the borer in the apple tree to a man wlm
knows nothing of the lives of insects and say, "you must put Sdiuctliim;
obnoxi(jus on the bark of your tree at the time the eggs are laitl tn kuep
the beetle away ;" such a one would say, "this is not a beetle, it is a aott
grub." This is true ; but it was not always a soft grub, nor will it always ;
remain so. All insects go through four di'Mnct stages of existence;!
First, there is the little egg, which is laid by the mother nisect ; this;
hatches into a soft grub-like, active insect which passes its life eating, :
until it is full grown ; from this changes into what we call the chrysjilisi
state, in which has generally the liudis of the perfect insect apparent, but
in most orders of insects lies (piiet and cannot use them ; from this clirj-;
sails, after a time, emerges the perfect insect. Now, let us ap]ily tliisi]
life-history to tiie chner-seed midge: The farmer wanted to know Ihjw
to st(»ii the ravages of the midge. So he set to work to find out itslifc-^
iiistory. He examined the lieads of clover seeds, rubbed them in lii»'|
hands, and found that tiie pod which should have held tlie clover aeeil
was all right in appearance ; but on opening it, instead of a seed, tlieiejj
was a little red grub inside. How did it get there? 1 will tell you: Let!
us start in the middle of June when we shall find the grub in the seed.'
We ])ut the head of seed into a glass jar and watch to see what happens.
Towards the end of the month — remember that date — the little grub I
works its way out of the clover and falls to the ground ; here it baii'uws [
down below the surface and remains there for some weeks. The fanner
who kiiowsnothing of insects cuts his clover about thebeginning of. July, am! ij
is surprised to Hnd no seed. He thinks, however, he may have better luck
with the second crop ; but just about the time this is in tiower the little:
grubs which have gone hito the ground in J une have matured, and the j
perfect insects — tiny midges — ajji)ear. These begin operations at once, i;
and the females lay a single egg in each c' "'er flower, which hatches iuid j
the young worm works its way down intt the pod, and before it is f
grown has consumed the whole contents. Now, how are we to stop it; I
iSimply by getthig the clover off the holds before the end of June. It
was found by experience that by cutting the clover before the hrst brudtl
came to maturity, or turning in cattle to feed on it, a large number uf I
these insects was destroyed, and there were conse([Ueiitly few left to lay
eggs in the second crop. So the farmers in the west where they i,'iii«
clover seed, now reap only one crop where they formerly grew two iuii I
season. They either cut tiieir clover soon after the middle of .June or
turn in their cattle to eat it so that it may not stand in the fields till the
end of the nioiith ; because if they waited until then, the little insects
would have ccmie out of the clover and gone into the ground, whence
they would emerge in due time to attack the next croi^. By perseveiiag |
in this course the farmers have gradually thinned out this pest, and will, I
believe, eventually get rid of it altogether. Another benefit vvhicli has I
come from the study of entomologist must be mentioned, namely, the use
of Paris green as an insecticide. This was not discovered by accident ;it |
was the result of direct study in seeking for a remedy for the potato bug.

iif yimiif^ })lnnt8, which are represented by the eyes. It is not a root, but

la swtilliiig in an underground 6tem, and the eyes are buds. It is provid-

led by nature as a leservoir of special food for the young plants in the

jro(jts. Tlie largest amount of substance, the starch, that is st(jred up in

(the tuber of the potato, was taketi in an elementary condition through

[the leaves. It is iierfectly absurd then to talk of arsenic being taken up

[ill the mots and stored in the tuber of the potato j)lant. 8j)raying with

la weak mixture (I'nly two ounces in 40 gallons of water) of this material

liias been discoTered to be the best remedy for tiie injurious codling moth

Ivhich destroys <iur ap])les. Tiiis insect is so injurious that in some years

lit destroys as nmch as 80 per cent, of the whole croj). Hy the use of tiiis

remedy it has been found that 7o percent, of the wliole crop can be save<l

every year. 1 believe that if it were apjilied generally over large areas

ivve cuiild eventually get rid of the codling moth altogether. More men

(ire studying this ec(.nomic aspect of insect life year by year, and we are

b'adu.illy becoming able to keep in check most of the worst insect enemies

vitli which the farmer has to contend. But there are still a great many

bf these pests which are doing an enormous ainoun' of uijury, and for

vhicli we have not yeb found practicable remedies. These it will be my

July to study for this purpose. There is one of tiiese wliich attacks the

pheat crop, concerning which I wish to en(|uire particularly. It is called

ihe wheat bulb worm, and has ippeared lately in this district. The indi-

latiou of its attack is probably known in your district as ".silver top."

fhe appearance of the disease is this. The yt»ung ear of wheat turus

vhile prematurely before the rest of the crop is ripe, and when you pluck

;you will tind there are no grains in it. If you will examine it carefully

Km will tind that there is a very small trang])iirent maggot inside the stem

Ibove tiie top joint. You will notice at once these dead ears of wheat in

lelds where this pest is at work. 1 fear, too, there is now no doubt but

natit has been increasing in nuu-bers during the last year or two. It is

> very ditticult insect to combat, from the fact that it matures and leaves

lie wlieat stem before the main cnip is tit to cut • consecjuently it has

jscaped and is ready to lay its eggs for the next crop. Tliere is a little

lap in our knowledge of the life-history of this insect. We know that it

lasses through two ditl'erent circles of life. First of all it exists in the

pt brood in the straw of standing wheat ; then there is a long gap be-

yeen that time, from about the beginning of July until September, dur-

bg which we know nothing of its habits, but we tind that in September

pt perfect fly appears again and lays its eggs on the sprouting fall wheat,

nd the little maggots eat their way down to the basecjf the stem of wheat

Jem which it is called the "wheat bulb worm," and remain there all

jinter in the root of the wheat, just in the same way hs the insect which

ou all know too well, the "Hessian fly," which also passes the winter in

be root of the wheat. There is then a gap between the summer and

VICTORIA, IS THE CHEAPEST

FEW INSECTS ARE LONU LIVED.

This itiBoct Ims a long lifo for so siiiall a fly — not a quaitor of im incll
in length. Sonio that, 1 enclosed in glass jars lived for three weeks with!
out any food at all. This proves that it can live a lontj tinu^ liiititul
hardly possible that it can live in the winged state for two or tlirwl
mouths in summer. We know that the maggot lives through tlio wintel
in the wheat j)lant, and 1 think it is possihlo that it attacks some of oiiiwiliil
grasses and that an intermediate l)rood lives in them during the jiuriiMl
which we have nu trace of its habits. Tiiis is one of tlie i)ests for wliicll
we are anxious to lind a remedy, and in which you can all help mo. OnJ
of my correMpondents reported that one in every thirty heads of his whtail
was destroyed by tliia insect last sannner. Now tliere are ceitain bruiwl
general principles for your guidance when you find your croi)s iittacyj
and these are founded upon very simple rules. In the lirst place, if yij
examine a large lumiber of dillerent insects you will Hnd they may iilltj
divided into two largo divisions by the nature of their mouth parts. liT
one those will be found to consist chiefly of a pair of jaws witli wliicll
they tear the substance of their food ; in the other tiiere is, instead, J
tube by means of wliieh the insects suck uj) their food in the s1ih|wJ
lifjuids. For the first class it is apparent tliat any poisonous suhstaiicj
placed on the food will be consumed with it and the insects dc'struyedl
It is, then, merely a matter of getting some material not injurious tutM
l)lant, but which will kill the insects preyin ; ui)on it. Such wehaveij
various compounds (»f arsenic, as Paris gieen and London purple. Fh
the other class, which could push their beaks through the poison aii(|
then suck out the juices from the plant beneath, we must have rucoun
to other mwthods, such as those which will kill by coming into coiitiisj
with the bodies of the insects or by virtue of some noxious volatile iiriil
ciple. One of these we have in Persian insect powder. Of all the iiuijj
erous insects which attack vegetation, and souie j)lants are attacked byii
many as 200 different kinds, 1 suppose there ia not one for which a rciiifl
dy of some sort could not be devised ; but the trouble is we must tiiii
remedies which are i)racticai:.Ie such as while they attain the object ainid
at are yet of such a charac'.cr us lot to lay us open to the accusation tha
the remedy is worse than thfa dibease. There are

THREE SIMPLE RULES )(,'H 'HE APPLICATION OF ALL INSECT REMEDIES.

First, they must be effectual ; secondly, they must be economicalj
thirdly, they must be simple. Moat of the substances used are din

simplicity is a most important feature, for if they require much careil
their application or prejjaration not only may they not be used in tlit
right proportions, but they will probably not be used at all. lleniedia
may be di 'ided into three classes ; first and most important — 1, agrici

Isliould ho triken by i'armors when they find their cro])s attacked by dis-
Jease '. First of all they should e.xamino them carefully to find out whether
lit is all attack of a fungus or of an insect. For fungi it is more dithcult

Iwill reside in a locality which lie knows is infested by any contagious ''ia-
caso. Ill the same way it is very foolish for us to plant good seed in a
Itiekl ill which we know that the summer before tho crop had been des-
troyed by some disease. Besides the weeds wliich give so much trouble
lliere arc some other injurious jdants which it is possible you may not
Rdiiii) (if you recognize as plants. For instance, it does not occur to many
liii'iiiei's when they see "rust" and "smut" on their wheat, or tho "black
Bpdt" on their appl-^s, that these are plants. As a matter of fact, how-
bvcr, they are just as much plants as those on which they are found; but they
]ireof(|uite a difleront nature, for they are parasites and derive their
liiiuiisliiiient from the larger plants upon which they grow. AH their
l,aits are exceedingly small, and it is necessary to examine them with the
W of powerful magnifying glasses before we can understand tho secrets
bf their lives. The smutty ears and the rusty discolored spots on the
leaves and straw of wheat are not the whole [ilants ; but merely tho fruit
puisistinsi of collections of innumerable seeds — or, as they are called when
Ipfiaking of fungous plants, spores— each one of which is so small as to be
Invisible to tho naked eye, but which, nevertheless, is capable of infect-

entrance between cells and spread out in all directions, sucking up the!
nourishment and strength which should have ((one to produce the grain I
of the wheat plant. The result, however is nearly the same, tlio weak- [
ened straw is unable to carrj" up nourishment sufhcient for the grain tol
properly fill out, and there is, consequently, a great deficiency in tjiel
amount of seed produced. There are, however, certain preventive rerael
dies which can always be applied, the best of which are the judiciouil
rotation of crops and the choice of seed of varieties wTiich are known to I
be free from attack. On well cultivated farms you do not continue growf
ing the same crops on the same fields year after year. In Canada farinenl
have ample means of getting information ; you take agricultural pupenl
and read them. You use improved methods of rotation of crops, thml
securing not only the advantage of the constituents of most use to eackl
kind of crop which is accumulated year by year from the manure, oiiljl
certain parts of which are used by each crop, but you are also exempt tol
a large degree from these destructive diseases of which I am speakinjf
For instance the wheat crop is attacked by rust or smut, and these dis|
eases are allowed to come to maturity and the spores are left in tlie soil
ready to attack the next crop of a similar nature if sown ; but if by rots |
tion of crops you have two or three other kinds of crops following it, i
probabilities are that the spores become exhausted and cannot attack tliel
same crop when it is its turn to be sown again. The chief remedies tobel
applied then for fungous diseases must be preventive, because we know I
very little about them. I hope in a few years to have studied someofi
them out, and then may be in a position to prescribe remedies.

A BOTANICAL GARDEN.

There will be at the Experimental Farm at Ottawa a botanical gar [
den and arboretum. An area of sixty-five acres has been set apart upoiil
which trees and plants of ectmomic value will be grown and testedl
Plants from other parts of Canada, not growing here indigenously, willl
be cultivated to see if we can make use of them in this district. Plantil
from other countries will also be tried to see if we cannot increase I
number of useful plants now grown in Canada. As an instance of whatl
may be done in this line, I will mention the Cinchona tree f oni whii:li|
quinine bark is taken. For years after its discovery, it was supposeiil
that this would only grow in its native forests of South America, but it ill
now cultivated over the greater part of the tropical regions of tlie worldT
and supplies the product call quinine, which is one of the most valualiiel
medicines known, and, in all tropical climates, is a necessity in tlie treat!
ment and prevention of malarial fevers. Why should w e not be abk ti I
introduce into Canada useful trees and plants which we have not iioit,|
but which we have plenty of room f(jr. At the Central Farm last seasotl
we cultivated some of th« fodder plants which are not grown yet in CanT
ada — one of them from the East called "Gram." belonging to the sainel
natural order as the vetches and clover, gives promise of succeeding weilj
here, and, should it do so, is a new fodder plant which may be ul grea:|
value to farmers.

THE QUESTION OF FOREST TREES

is one of greater importance than farmers are generally inclined to believtl
They cultivate their fields for wheat and other crops, but tiujy do ii((j
think much about the trees, though the consumption of wood frdinyeail
to year for different purposes is so enormous that I am afraid to im;iitin|
the figures. In the United States a report has lately been prepared 1

he amount of wood used annually for diiFerent purposes, for the con-
fructiou and repairing of railways and bridges, etc., is something appal-
Tho supply of wood in our country is being so reduced by lumber-
Igdpevations, settlement and forest tires, that it is necessary in all parts
■ Canada to begin at once to renew the supply by tree planting. Year
' year the farmers in new districts destroy enormous quantities of tim-
triii clearing their farms, but in a few years they will have to seek for
lis material at a great distance. This makes it all the more necessary
Ir farmers to undertake the planting of trees on their farms, not only to
Iver up this loss, but alsi* as wind-breaks and shelters for cattle, and it
(very imixirtant for them to know beforehand in what way they can do
J to the greatest possible benefit. The farmer is not always posted on
jemost advantageous way of planting. Some will be surprised to hear
at with many trees it is more advantageous to grow them from the seed
an to trans[»lant them of considerable size from the forest. Again some
lour forest trees are very much more valuable than others, and there is
Jieh yet to be learned with regard to the best trees to grow on certain
lis and in special localities. Extensive experiments will be niade in
Is direction, all of which will be of great use, so that all efforts may be
fected ill a useful and methodical manner. 1 will call your attentinn to
loof our most useful and beautiful native trees- the black walnut and
I white asii. The first of these is found wild in Canada, only within
by restricted limits, and it is supposed by some to grow only in places
Icre it will obtain a considerable degree of heat. As a matter of fact,
has been ascertained that this tree will stand a much greater degree of
|d, and will thrive over a nmch wider area than was at first supposed.
Ottawa it proved to be the second (quickest growing Canadian tree.
[has been planted in Quebec and has succeeded remarkably well. It
!one of the most valuable of our native woods, and is also an extreme-
rapid growing tree ; and although there have appeared during the last
■ years fabulous statements— which have done a great deal of harm —
jto what returns can be had from ,;r(. wing walnuts, there is no doubt
It by judicious planting of this tree a quick return for the money cfin
■obtained. Another tree of speci* ; value is the white ash. This tree
paeful for certain purposes at a moderate size, it grows easily and does
itake uj) much room. When farmers are planting trees they will find
Advantageous to know beforehand those which will give the quickest
urns and those which are the mosc valuable for timber. As I have
I all sa^'ii experiments as these will be tried carefully at the Central
berimental Farm. Largo numbers of difl'erent trees willl be grown
mseed f(jr trial in different parts of the country, in order to ascertain
pe tliey do best, and what kinds can be grown to the greatest advan-
iincer .istricts. Effi.rts will also be made to improve the differ-
I kinds of grains, fruits and other products. It frequently happens
t some varieties have qualities not possessed by others, bj' hybridising
li'ossiug these it is sometimes possible to jiroduce a new variety with
Ithe i^odd qualities of its parents consolidated. It is not wise to con-
je all tlie time with old varieties which we know will succeed ; but
I such an institution as

THE EXPKEIMENTAL FARM

pnall be able to risk failure sometimes in the hope of getting something
Und useful, and I understand this is one of the objects with which
jfarm was ostabl.shed by the (rovernment. No farmer can afford to
I'l'e risk of losing a whole year's crop in trying new experiments. The

VICTORIA, IS THE CHEAPEST

Government by establishing this institution has virtually shown itsdj
termination to help tiie farmers as nnich as possible. It is not riwhtiii
such a new country as Canada for individual farmers to have to risk krj
sums of money in these experiments, important, nay necessary, us tiiiJ
are. So the (Government steps in and says, "1 'vill have them dcjiieiJ
you and you shall have the benefit of the results." I believe that ij
results obtained under the pi'esent direction will be highly j)ractical ; I
the work will not end here, it will not be the obtaining of results iilotj
these will be published pt riodically as bulletins, written in sucii a way«
to be intelligible to all who may read them, which will be distribut
broadcast all over the country.

Mr. Serson expressed himself as being very much pleased nith
address. He would like to hear Mr. Fletcher's opinion wli'»'n;i'
weather had not something to do with rust. He thought that ^\ i
moist weather prevailed it was more favorable for the product', n, .:■.
He would like to know whether in a dry season a clean crop of \vh&:
oats might not be grown on a field in which in the previous yearivitli
warm, moist summer tlie ciop had been badly attacked by rusl.

Mr. Fletcher said there was no doubt that under certain atnvisp
conditions all fungus plants were developed more rajjidly tiian at ntla
times; at the same time they could not come into existence spoutaneiiuslj
they must all come from spores or seeds. One season you lUiiyliil
planted in such a dry time that the spores do not get a start. You curtaiij
might possibly grow even on thesauie field where a crop had been Iwdijij
tacked by rust the previous year but under different atmosplieric c(»ijilitifi
a crop of wheat tliat uughtnot be affected; at the same time, as a preveiitn
remedy, it" would be far better to grow on that held some other croiis.clo
or roots for instance, than to grow wheat again the following soasdii.

Mr. Wersoii said he had often seen in a field of whokt ritlu
where the wheat would be more affected with rust than on the podin'i

Mr. Fletcher said very vigorous growing varieties of wheat wi
sometimes suflfer more from rust than others. Last year, before J
Agricultural Conniiittee, the experience of different members of Pai!|
ment was given, and the report would be published next aessioii.
had lio doubt Mr. Jamieson would be glad to furnish his constituei
who wished it with copies of this report. There seemed to bo mideliiii
rule that could be laid down with regard to rust on wheat, experiLMMl
various localities was so different. One man would complain tliatii||
or weakly variety was attacked worst by rust, while another wdiildi^
that a free-growing variety was most attacked. One gentleman wtuij
far as to say that all quick-growing varieties were lia))le to rust.

Mr. McKinlay said that he had noticed on the coast of Newfuui
land that if a fosfgy morning occurred at a certain period of tlieyeuj
always found his wheat rusted.

Mr. Fletcher said that in England it was probable tliat tliere^
hardly a crop of wheat grown which had not been, during seme tiiwl
its growth, subjected to foggy weather, yet there wore many cn'|»l
wheat raised there without rust. It migh^ be that if the plaiit wertl
an unhealtl y condition it would be more « .- x'ptible lo disease in fuf
weather. As a matter of fact this rust ov, ^.f^r-ials U m^re widespi^
than any other vegetable disease known.

An interesting discussion fidUowed, wi.ich it w.w nni)oa8il>K' tmel
owing to the darkness of the roo'n. The meeting ci(wed withthinl
tii(«i i)i officers for the ensuing year.
