EXPERIMENTAL FARMS 



9-10 EDWARD VII., A. 1910 

 INOCULATED SOIL. 



Soil inoculated for alfalfa is being distributed in lots of 100 pounds to each 

 applicant, for making a start in the culture of this crop. Quite a number are taking 

 advantage of this offer, and it is expected that alfalfa will be tried this year over a 

 wider area, and under more widely varying conditions than heretofore. 



Following is a list of the samples of grain distributed to date: — 



Wheat, 5-lb. bags 120 



Oats, 4-lb. bags 55 



Barley, 4-lb. bags 20 



A small quantity of grain has been sold for seed. 



BUILDINGS AND FENCING. 



During the year improvements have been made which include a mile of woven-wire 

 fence which was erected on the east and north boundaries of the farm, thus com- 

 pleting the outside fencing. A building has been erected to provide a granary, engine- 

 room, work-room and museum. This is a substantial building 30 x 40 x 18, having a 

 12-inch concrete wall as a foundation, the cellar being 7 feet in the clear and being 

 floored with concrete. This building adds much to the equipment, and also to the 

 appearance of the farm.
