Soil Moisture and Crop Production Under Dry Land Conditions in Western Canada (Classic Reprint) by S Barnes Pdf

Excerpt from Soil Moisture and Crop Production Under Dry Land Conditions in Western Canada The subject matter of this bulletin deals in general with the open plains area of Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta, and especially southwestern Saskatchewan and southeastern Alberta where climatic conditions are similar to those Of Swift Current. These conditions are low rainfall, low relative humidity, and high evaporation. The cultivated land in this area has been devoted chiefly to the growing of wheat, which, owing to these climatic factors, is generally of a high quality. The cultural practices followed on the prairies of Western Canada are similar to those of other prairie countries where the climate 1s similar Wheat 1s generally raised year after year without the inclusion of another crop or the regular application of fertilizer of any kind. At frequent intervals the land is summer-fallowed, that is, cultivated for one season but not see-, ded so that weeds can be controlled and moisture conserved for the following crop The first crop following such treatment is called a summer-fallow crop, while a crop on land that produced a crop the previous season is called a stubble. Crop; these terms will be used in this bulletin. The important difference between a summer fallow crop and a stubble crop is that the former usually has more moisture available for crop production. The stubble crop is subjected to more hazardous conditions and generally returns a lower yield. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Agricultural Population and Production by Walter Scott Pdf

Excerpt from Agricultural Population and Production: Canada's Urgently Important Problem Is it necessary to argue that additional farming population will greatly benefit every class and industry? The universal advantage to be gained is so plain to me that I can scarcely bring myself to credit statements which are made to me that we have persons in our midst who view with dvisfav-our schemes or ideas intended to add to the volume of our farm produce. What class or industry can possibly sutter? What class or industry can possibly fail to reap advantage? Can farmers meet that annual interest. Payment more easily than farmers or farmers? Does a bushel export grain ci'op permit as low freight. Charges as a crop of bushels? Is a wheat yield of bushels sold less advantage ously than the crop of bushels which Western Canada produced a quarter - century ago? Certainly not. The larger the cropthe better we have been able to dispose of it. The lesson may well be applied to live stock and meat products. At present we fail to receive the price our meats are worth because we do not produce in sufficient regular volume. There is absolutely no possibility of the world's meat market being flooded. We may multiply our volume of production ten times, yes fifty times over, and there would still remain a wide disparity between the world's production and possible consumption unless all the recorded facts on this topic are mistaken and misleading. Every industry will be benefited by an increase of agricultural production, and agriculture itself most of all, because it will lead to a lowering of freight rates of which there seems no possibility without such increase, and it will make possible a solution on? The marketing disabilities under which we suffer especially as regards live stock an-d meats. Besides, as I have already mentioned, it will spread and thereby relieve the burden of the debt which we owe. Agriculture carries the burden. Speaking broadly it is true to say that it is agriculture alone which does carry the burden, and therefore it is plain that it is the agricultural industry which will be most benefited 'by any policy which will bring substantial enlargement of the volume of agricultural produce. In every possible way additional population must benefit, and strengthen us. It will strengthen the school district, the municipality, the church congregation, in fact the whole social structure. Add to the volume of the farming industry and thereby the cost of operation in every branch an-d department and item can be lessened. Who can be injured? Absolutely no person nor class as far as I can see. I take it then as established that we urgently need the increase and that collectively and individually we will be benefited by the largest possible enlargement.

Land, a Living and Wealth by Grand Trunk Pacific Railway Company Pdf

Excerpt from Land, a Living and Wealth: The Story of Farming and Social Conditions in Western Canada The subsoil varies quite a bit, in fact there is no distinct line between the surface soil and the subsoil, being rather a gradual gradation. In this type generally the subsoil is a mottled gray and yellow clayey silt which often shows dark streaks or spots due to the presence of iron. It is somewhat plastic, but as a rule more friable in the lower depths. The surface is undulating to gently rolling. The undulated topography is near the water courses and as a rule has good surface drainage. The surface of this type is of such a physical makeup and the drainage being well developed, it makes one of the best types of soil for conserving moisture. All crops commonly grown in the latitude traversed by the Grand Trunk Pacific Rail way are grown upon this type, in fact it is one of the best wheat soils in Canada.

Improved Pasture Crops and Pasture Practices for Central Alberta (Classic Reprint) by F. H. Reed Pdf

Excerpt from Improved Pasture Crops and Pasture Practices for Central Alberta Pasture is an important and essential part of any successful farming scheme that involves the maintenance of live stock. A combination of live stock and crop farming forms the basis of a more permanent and superior system of agriculture than where either grain or live stock is produced singly. Live stock enables the farmer to profitably utilize coarse grains and forage crops which of themselves are of secondary importance, but which are necessary in implementing approved crop rotations and agri cultural practices. -the return of fertility to the land through the medium of manure is an important factor in establishing a permanent agriculture.

Agriculture in Canada by William Rennie Pdf

Excerpt from Agriculture in Canada: Modern Principles of Agriculture Applicable to Canadian Farming to Yield Greater Profit In a country famous for her vast wheat fields and whose chief industry is - and must continue to be for many years - agriculture, the need of a standard work on this important subject by a competent writer is apparent. Of the few Canadian writers with a practical knowledge of farming in Canada, who have attempted to blaze the trail for the newcomer or help the old settler with advice born of long personal experience, none occupy such a pre-eminent position as William Rennie. Unusually successful in all departments of agriculture and with the gift of imparting information on the most prosaic subject in a fascinating manner, his personality was a potent factor in the elevation of farm work to the science of agriculture. By precept and example he enriched farm life in this country, and did much to lift it from the deadly routine which was rapidly depleting the rural population of its young life. The author came into national prominence by winning the first Silver Medal presented by the Agricultural and Arts Association of Ontario for the cleanest and best-managed farm in the province, while his brother, the late Simpson Rennie, who occupied the Rennie homestead in Scarboro (Ont.), won the Gold Medal.

The Production of Cheaper and Better Forage Crops for Live Stock in Central Alberta (Classic Reprint) by George E. Delong Pdf

Excerpt from The Production of Cheaper and Better Forage Crops for Live Stock in Central Alberta The problem Of finding suitable pasture and winter feed for live stock is Of increasing importance to farmers as well as ranchers who are producing beef on grass, i.s., during the summer months only. The live stock producer in many cases is at a disadvantage in that little provision is made for Winter feed. Under such conditions, there tends to be many unfinished cattle on the market in the fall and an increasing demand for stocker cattle in the spring with the result that unfinished cattle sell cheaply in the fall and command a relatively high price in the spring. The natural result of such a condition is that there is little profit in the cattle business. The production of suitable feeds for live stock would reduce the cost Of production and result in the more orderly marketing Of better finished cattle at comparatively higher prices which, in turn, would net the grower greater profits and returns per animal and per acre.

Production and Thrift by Canada Dept Of Agriculture Pdf

Excerpt from Production and Thrift: Agricultural War Book On Thursday last, writes a London correspondent, under date of Oct. 5, a church service such as has never before been held in London was celebrated when the Lord Mayor of London and the sheriffs paid a state visit to the old London church of St. Andrew Undershaft to attend the annual harvest thanksgiving service of the Baltic Exchange and the National Food Stuffs association. The service was noteworthy in being one of thanksgiving for the bountiful Canadian harvest. The Bishop of Willesden, whom you know better under the name of Bishop Perrin, former Bishop of British Columbia, gave the address in this, his parish church in the heart of old London, and to the assembled wheat kings of Britain, told a simple but eloquent record of the work of the Canadian wheat growers on the prairies. He gave a word picture of the great grain-raising areas of western Canada, told of the determination of Canadian farmers, when the question of food supplies for the motherland became acute, to provide all that was required, and their redemption of that promise in the production of a record crop. Also he spoke of the prodigal abundance of gifts of all kinds from Canada to Great Britain. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Field Roots in Canada by G. P. McRostie Pdf

Excerpt from Field Roots in Canada: Classification, Improvement, and Seed Production The term field roots is used in Canadian agriculture chiefly with refer ence to mangels, swedes turnips and carrots grown principally for the feeding of live stock. The use of the crops specified, as a medium for increasing the succulence of animal rations, has been quite general in the more humid parts of Canada since the pioneer days of this country. That the grow ing of field roots has not become much more general with advancing years is principally due to the expense incurred in the raising of such crops. Most growers are still in the sickle stage in the handling of roots, in that thin ning and harvesting are largely done by hand, which practice increases produc tion costs immensely.
