H. R. Whitman of Waterford was slect- ed president of the New London County Farm and Home Bureau at the bureau's annual meeting held Saturday in the chapel of the First Congregatlonal church at Norwich Town. The 'meeting, which was well attended by delegations from all séetions of New London county, opened at 10 o'clock in thé miorning when it was called to order.by«Vice President 3. D. MeCarthy of Norwich Town, acting in the absence of the retiring president.:C. Abell of Lehanon, who was unable to be present. 3 : R The reports 6f thé secretary, S. E. Hol- dridge and treasurer, Webster D. Co-p, were made and accepted and Wefe fol- lowed by summaries of the farm bureau project work acmomplished during the past twelve months. Poultry Project. The report on the poultry project was made by Arthur Fellows of Norwich town, as follows: Considerable work has been done dur- ing the past vear on the poultry proeject Which might be outlined under the fol- lowing heads: % Qulling Demonstrations. Three pul- let” culling demonstrations and four hen culling demonstrations were given. At one of the pullet culling demonstrations the poultry speclalist divided the flock into two parts. All of ‘the best hens were'put in one flock and all the medium hens into another, while all pullets which it weuld not pay to keep over winter were thrown out. There were something like 14 culls. This man keeps records lon the production of each lot of pullets { during the next year. Two other men {had pullet culling demonstrations a vear {ago and had their flocks divided in much the same way. Accurate records were kept by one man for a vear and by the other man. for eight months. The man |ho kept his records elzht months re- ported an average of te: esgs more [Der hen over his medium flock while' { the man that képt his for a year reported {an average of 15 eggs moré from his ;best flock than from his medium flock. {This should furnish ‘some excellent fh- formation for these men to use in con- !nection with picking out breeders for an- ! other spring. ! One poultry club was organied by the project leader in Waterford during the vear and ten mectings have been held “attended by the noultry specialists and sometimes by the county agent. Several men and women have ket accurate rec- ords of egg production, cost of feed and cost of production. This club is making am effort to increase its membership for the coming vear. - Over 100 poultry calendars were put out in the Home Egg Laving Contest in this cotnty, largely at culling demon- strationd and through poultrsi project leaders. Each month the person whom keeps one of these calendars send In a post card giving the production for the month, number of hens kept, average production per hen ,ete. The »/iltry spe- cialist at the college gets out a county average once a month, so that each per- son knows exactly how their flock com- parts with the average with the coun: ty. iTe A very successful all day county poul- try institution was held the latter part of January. Both forenoon and aft- ernoon sessions were held at which time successful poultrymen spoke of different subjects and specialists in poultry from the college also gzave talks and lectures. This proved so popular that a number of people have been asking this fall for another poultry institute. In addition to thig poultry was one-of the main sub- fects at two community Institutes- held during the winte~. Fruit Project. J. D. Avery of North Storiington maae [the. report on the fruilt project for the year.: The report was as follow: The fruit work as it was carri {in the county. this year was confined largely to dethorstration of orchards run wih a definlte plan In view. In the winter pruning demonstrations were held in all of these orchards, five in all, and in additlon to this thrée other dem- onstrations werc held in other parts of the county making a total of eight held, attended by 90 people. In one com- | munity a spraying demonstration was ! arranged in the spring but the spray ing in the other orchards was done by 1the local men outside of demonstrations. In all of the orchards the trees were | sprayed at least twice and “one man carried thiough a complete spraving pro- gramme putting -on ' five spravs during the season. The reason for the discon- tinuance of spraying In' the other or- chards was due to the hard frost which killed all the set of fruit. o In addition to pruning and spraving a definite plan wag carried out in each orchard, of fertilization. This cons ed of the use of anywhere from five to seven pounds of nitrate of soda per tree | combined in two orchards with a mulch of hay or straw. All of the orch: s with the exctption of one orchard which was out sode treatment. A late inspection this fall showed that these older orchards had made excep- tionally good growth of wood this year and a large part of the trees in each orchard budded out in Zood shave o that a good crop of fruit may be ex- pected next year, These same demon- stration orchards will be continued next vear and plans are under way for the organization of at least three more. Crop Project. The®crop teport was made by H. R. Whitman of Waterford. In his report Mr. Whitman safd: Without doubt the erop work carried out in the county this year has been the best organized of any of the pro- jects. Barly in the spring a2’ conference was held with the crop specialists and plans were carefully gones ovat for stak- inz a number of demonstrations along different lines which would be carefulfy looked after. Dur#ig the next season six pasture fertilizing, demonstrations were put in, nine top dressings of hay liand demonstrations, six crop fotation { demonstrations, four potato growing demonstrations, two Seed corn demon- stratlons, three silage corn demonstra- tions and one witch grass eradication demonstration. « Hay Top Dressing—The census rgport shows that New London county produces the smallest amount of hay per agre of any county in the state. AS th juun-l ty s mainly a dairy locality and con- s is bought by the farmersy It was especially appropriate that some work should be done to improve the hay lands of the county. - Nine top dressing ! demonstrations were arranged for in as communities using four different fertillzer mixtures. The value of a thin coating 06f mamire using tén tons per jacre with 40 pounds of ucld phosphate was tried out against three fertilizer mixtures. Man¥ men seém to feel that it is necessary to nut on a heavy eoating of mahure if they would top dress their grass land -and secure satisfactory re- sults. On the other plot 300 potinds of a 6-3-6 fertilizer, mixture Was used and on two other plots borie with nitrate of | soda or sulphate of ammonid was tried | lout against acid phosphate and some | form of elther nitrate of Soda or sul- phate of ammonia. An attempt was made | in these twb plots 1o give an indication | of the relative value of phoephoric acid | in bone and acld phcsphate, since form ers have been led to believe by fertll ér agents thar the phosphoric acid in bonk wae et Superior in producihg | valie to that in acid phosphate. A sum- mary of the nine demonstrations was slightly in favor of acld phosphate, com- AND ELECTS OFFGERS FOR THE lexpressed it “just to show the peopl YEAR paring in fine shape with the conelu- sion reached by seme of our experi< ment stations that price is the controll- ing factor in the purchase of either bone or dcid phosphate. ith the price of phosphoric acid in the ton running con- siderably higher than that'in theacid Bhosphate, this sort of déemonsyration work should mean a good many dollars to the farmers of this county. The results of the top dressing work do _not give us very large increased ds this vear over the use of fertiliz- have beén due fo the mot to0 heavy rains and that another year these deménstration plots many of which will be continued on identically the same plots, will show up increased results. The manure and acid phosphate plots showed an incréase over the vlot which recelved no treatmeént of 1633 pounds of hay per acre. ~The 6-8-6 fertilizer plots showed an Increase of 1251 pounds Dér acre. The bone plots showed an Increase of 904 pounds and the acld Dhosphate plots 966 pounds per acre. As was said before an effort was made In these last two plots to put on ex- actly the same amount of phosphorie ana nitrogen on each plot anly using the phosphoric acid on one plot in the form of bone and the other acid phosphate. Pasture Demonstration—The pasture work was planfied So as to determine whether it was possible to fertilize with acid phosphate and lime many parts of onr pastures and secure a considerable amount of increased feed.- The pastures in this_locality are fast growing up to brush but there are a good many pas- tures with plenty of sod which are pro- ducing only’a very small amount of forage for the cow. One-tenth acre plots were staked out and fertilizer treat- ments, using acid phosphate and muriate of potash and in a few cases some ni- trate of -soda .were used on from four to six plots. Then a limé treatment was given to onme half of each of these plots using the eauiivalent of from 1000 to 2000 pounds of aericultural Ilime. These demonstrations’ were lined out in six different communities in the coun- ty and from the interest which has been shown there is no doubt but what sev- eral more will be put in during the coming spring. No definlte results have been secured thus far. On three demonstration plots it was posible to ses a very declded increase in the amount of clover in the sod and in the destiny of the sod. As one man stated “the cows seem to hang around these plots more than any other place in the pasture”” Perhaps this 1s the reason that these plots are grazed o closely that it is not possible to see very marked results unless we look at them very closcly. Next spring it 18 planned to keep thg cows out of two or three demonstrations for 2 short time to determine the relative stand of grass under the different ttreatments, Seed Corn and Sflage Corn—Four si- large demonstrations were artanged for, n as many different communities. On each demonstration plot both varlety demonstration work and fertilizer dem- onstration work wag carried out. For the variety work two local seed varieties of seed corn were used, another varie- ty as highly recommended by the col- lege as having shown out well in trials made over a considerable period of time, while the other varietles planted were kinds commonly used by the demonstra- tor. In the fertilizer treatments, one plot was put in with no fertilizer, another with acld phesphate alone and stfll an- other on each of which a complete fer- tilizer ‘was used which varied all the way from 2-8-2 to 4-8-4 fertilizer. The reason for starting thess fertiliz- er demonstrations with corn was to de- termine whether smaller amounts of sta- ble manure could be used in the growing of corn along with acld phosphate or a complete fertilizer thus leaving a larger amount of manure to be used as top dressing hay lands. The top dress- ing demonstrations showed very coh- clusively that manure was a satlsfactory form of top dressing as could be secur- ed. There is considerable reason to be- lieve that acid. phosphate used with manure on corn will also give as satis- factory results as the complete fertiliz- er where the land is in Zood condition and not too heavy. M It was unfortunate that the corn was 0 uneven that it did not pay to take any welghts on thé différent demonstra- tion plots. A careful inspection was made just before the corn was cut fn- to the silo and it was impossible to ses any. rence between the plots on which acld phosphate was used with manure and those on which a complete fertflizer was used with manure. Théré was on- siderable difference in the different vari- Century Dent, one of the varieties in New Milford,. in this state, fhowed up exceptionally well, coming to maturity much earier than some of the larger silage varieties. In fact one man took off a dozén ears of Century Dent and took them to the county fair, as he the kind of corn it was possible to grow on his farm.” When he went to také his corn home he found that the judges had put the blue ribbon on the corn, even though he had not planned that this should ba an exhfbit. Needless to say the people of that locality are hearing considerable about Ceftury Dent and seyeral of the men are interested in try- ing this ot for next year. Two better seed corn demonstrations were put in this Vear with an idea of developing Wwithin the county two fhrms on which a superior tybe of seed corn would be grown, and in quantity enough s0 that the men could secure it in any réasonable quantity. The plan used was to securs ten kernals from each of 100 ears on each of these farms, after the 100 ears had been very carefully seleoted from the seed corn which these men had on hand. Germination tests and disease tests were on these various ears at the experiment station and all ears were discarded that tested less than 95 per cent. germina- tlon. These better seed corn plots were planted- separately from the other corn and this fall thé crop éseplalist and thé county agent wqnt through each plot With the démonstentor and earerdlly st- lecteq seed which will be tested hoth for germination and for disease next spring. The same method will be followed next year so that in time we should be grow- ing on these farms some extra good seed corn. Considernble interest is being shown by men in this place. Potato Growing—Four potato growing demonstrations werg planned for in as many communities. The objects of theke demonstrations were to find out, if possible rome good seed Sources in thé northern states and also to determiné the value of a medlum low and high potato fertiltzer. Along with this was also rin similar piots of sote homé grown seéed in comparison with noréherh grown seed. The results ,of these demonstrations brought out soms rathér interesting in- formation. 2 1—Certified northern seed gave by far the best yields When tried ofit Against ordinary so-calleg “selected” seed bought from unknown northern growers or.from local dealers who do not take precautions to select reputable seed sources. 2—Home srown seed did not show up to_very good advantage. : 3—The 10 per éent. potash mixtdre Aid not produce any better than the 5 pét cent. potash mixturs. 4—The one demonstration in Which an attempt was made to secure some in- formation in sbraving gave a very good increase on the sprayed plots.
