A second farm was purchased in 1950. It had been a rented farm for many years and was in a very run-down condi- tion in every way â€"â€" poor fences, .poor buildings and poor land. He was fortunate. that his dad made it possible for him to farm â€" to do the job he wanted most to do. When the farm was purchased. the farm south of it had about two feet of his topsoil washed down through a road bridge. The rolling portion of the farm had been badly eroded; the topsoil on the top of the slopes was gone, and even on the better parts it was barely 4 inches deep. The farm is located just west of Highway 400 in King Town- ship, and is 100 acres in size. It consists mostly of King clay loam and has a gradual slope from north to south: one half of the farm is fairly rolling. He faced three serious condi- tions on the farm â€" considerable erosion. a drainage condition and poor soil fertiljty. He went to the lTypical of those farmers who have learned to use their land according to its best capabilities is Jesse Bryson of Vaughan town- ship. Mr. Bryson is chairman. Re- forestation and Land Use Advis- ory Board of the Metropolitan To- ronto and Region Conservation Authority and in a report which he presented at the Conservation Authorities' Conference held in Toronto recently entitled “What a Farm Plan did for me". he brought to the assembly an out- line of the steps he and his fath- er took to bring about many imo provements inn their land. Mr. Bryson was 150 invited to pre- sent his report at a meeting of the Edgeley Farm Forum on No- vember 10 when the topic of the evening was “Conservation â€"â€" Or Else.” In the form of a conservation cameo. Jesse Bry'son reported. that after leaving high school. he helped his father for several years on the farm. During that time he became a member of the Vellore Junior Farmers and through that organization became acquainted with the various other agricultural organizations that ex- isted in the country. I-I_e married Realizing this. the farmers across the country are’becoming more conservation-conscious as time goes on and are adopting farming techniques designed to enable them to meet erosion and related problems as they arise on different types of soil, different crops and different land use con- ditions. r _ (By MRS. R. STUART) Efficient farming today re- quires more skills than were once needed if it is to remain a worth- while Way of life. Being a high- ly competitive business. to stay in the running the farmer must be able to produce with ever in- creasing efficiency.

REEVE ELECT When he first sowed fall wheat, ,he left test strips without any fertilizer. and he had almost 100 per cent winter killing. This year he left test strips in the same field and could not find them â€" the whole soil fertility level has increased so vastly. The field of fall wheat he plant- ed on that farm yielded 17 bush- els to the acre. and this was with fertilizer. On the same fields 'he can now get upwards of 50 bush- els to the acre. In trying to get the strips set up in proper rotation, he had dif- ficulty in getting a seed catch In laying out the strips, they ran into difficulty with low wet areas in the fields. In some cases it was necessary to break the strips into 4 sections. The low wet spots were a~ problem in spring seeding and in combining. He could see that a tile drainage program was a “must” in order to get the strips into operation. He has installed some 25,000 tile. It is not a systematic tile layout. but simply designed ‘to drain the wet areas. Because of the tile, the strips became workable in their whole length. Another important advantage was the prevention of erosion by the elimination of much of the surface run-off. This is an advantage of tile drainage that many people do not realize: much of the water coming through those tiles would be run- ning off the surface and taking the soil with it. Tile drainage is essentially a water control meas- The soil was tested for fertil- izer recommendations. It prov- ed to be very low inphosphor- ous. At first he tried applying high phosphorus fertilizers; but he has now found that fertilizers with high nitrogen content in ad- dition are much more prpfitable.~ ure The farm plan was designed to overcome the main problems â€" erosion. poor. drainage and fertil- ity. The plan called for removal of several fences in order to put 9 fields into 2 fields. This allow- ed the setting up of 4 strips run- ning across the slope. This was necessary to overcome the erosion problem. A great deal of bull- dozing and dynamiting were nec- essary to remove the rocks and brush from the old fence row. Here again. his dad spent many hours. Thanks to him. _ The Soils men visited his farm. mapped the oils type and pro- duced a farm plan suited to his type of soil and his farming oper- ations. Because of the poor con- dition of the buildings. and the fact that they already had live- stoa-k on the home farm. he de- cided on a hay-grain type of op- eration. ‘ Agricultural Representative for York County.

They serve twp purposes -â€"- they provide hay and a turning place for machin- ery when filling or harvesting. This idea originated with Mr. Eugene Lemon of Stouffville, On- tario, who has one of the best examples of a farm under a Plan. In summarizing then, the Farm Plan proved to be a more adVant- ageous way of rebuilding a run- Probably the most noticeable change on the farm is the eradi- cation of the conventional fields for the long, narrow strips.
