SCOPE OF FIELD HUSBANDRY WORK. 



The growing of field crops is no doubt the most important work on the majority of 

 farms in soutliern Saskatchewan, and in view of tliis a large portion of our exi)erimen- 

 tal work is devoted to soil and crop management problems. One hundred and fifty 

 acres are used in tlie testing of crop rotations under field conditions. Twenty acres 

 are occupied by an extensive set of soil cultural experiments. While some of these 

 experiments have not been in operation long enough to give decisive results, othc*i's 

 again have already given valuable infoi-mation. A considerable portion of the Farm 

 is devoted to producing feeds for live stock. In the areas used far this purpose the 

 cost of production of crops is calculated, and varieties that have been giving best 

 results in small plots are tested out in field lots.
