Overview

Excerpt from Experimental Farms: For the Year Ending March 31, 1913 Sir, - I have the honour to submit herewith, for your approval, the twenty-sixth annual report of the work carried on at the several Dominion Experimental Farms and Stations. As will be noted, the matter in this report is arranged in a different way to that which has obtained in former years. Section A contains my report as Director, in which are incorporated accounts of the preliminary work on the new Experimental Stations at Invermere and at Sidney, British Columbia, as well as a resume of the results obtained on the Substations at Grouard, Grande Prairie, Athabaska Landing and Fort Vermilion, in Alberta, and at Kamloops and Salmon Arm, in British Columbia. This is followed by synopsis of the work in the various Divisions on the Central Farm and at the branch Farms and Stations, with general notes on some of the features of the years operations. For the preparation of these, I am indebted to the chief officers of the Divisions here, and to the Superintendents of the branches. The section is concluded by brief reports from the Superintendents of several of the newer Stations, where experimental work has not yet been so well established as to permit of a detailed account of the year's work. Section B contains detailed reports on the various lines of experimental work under way throughout the Dominion Experimental Farms system during the year. These have been prepared by the Dominion officers having supervision of such work on the Central and branch Farms in collaboration with the Superintendents of the latter. These detailed reports fall under the heads of Animal Husbandry, Agrostology.; Botany, Cereal Breeding and Variety Testing, Chemistry, Entomology, Field Husbandry, Horticulture (including Vegetable Gardening and Flowers). Poultry Husbandry and Tobacco Husbandry. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
