Show ini IMPROVED PROVED SYSTEM OF or I 1 tue THE difficulty of preserving good clean pure seed for agricultural purposes jn this territory has been Iain lain painfully rully fully felt by of our farmers who have had an ambit ionin lonin grain vegetables ac to procure those of the best quality for a long time this has been viewed as a great elili evil and one which there should be measures taken to remedy about this time last year this subject was agitated and as the sugar esne cane crop is an important one in this country and the seed of this plant had suffered red very great deterioration through the plant ing of broom corn in close proximity to tolt it a commit committee tep w way was appointed to designate the lands on which each of these thase plants should be e glown grown it was felt that such a movement was absolu absolutely absolutes tel tei nece necessary or br we would soon be unaite unable to produce an article of sugar cane in jn the country th that atWould would be worth grinding by confining the broom corn to a certain district a good abood article could b be e produced and it coula could be improved improve ed and the same bame also with the sugar cane eane there would be nothing to prevent the production of an artie artle article 10 that would be very rich in saccharine 0 matterand matter and that would world amply repay the producer for his labor and expense in the harvest of sweet which it would bould yield to him farmers fr from 0 various districts and some of them from the best cana cane growing sections in this part of the territory were united in their statements respecting the deterioration of the sugar cane seed there had baen been a great falling off in the yield of molasses to the acre of late years which was clearly traceable to the hybridization of the seed through the planting of broom corn in close proximity to the sugar cane the committee acted upon the instructions which they received from the meeting and designated the portions of the ave nive five acre lots on which the broom corn and sugar cane cano should be planted and their lines of demarcation we believe were observed in last years yeara planting but though sugar cane and broom corn needed immediate attention ion lon the object sought was not attained by their separation to assign them distinct I 1 nielda fields was but the initiatory step the intention was to follow that up besimi by similar measures until all our grains vegetables and fruits that were liable to hybridization should be sown or planted on separate spots of ground and the various kinds be kept pure ani and and free from deterioration no people can be better situated to accomplish this than the inhabitants of this ihla territory the people are united are laboring for one end and are under the acknowledged control of bishops in their several wards it is the province of the bishop to look after the secular interests of his ward and by counseling with and calling to his aid the best beat practical talent under his juris JuTIs jurisdiction diction he lie can cau effect great reforms in all these matters in his ward if one kind of wheat isbester is better betten adapted for the soil of the settlement se atle than another aud and that can easily be ascertained by holding a public meeting for the purpose let it be decided unanimously to sow that kind and no other if there laa isa variety of soil and it re quires more than one kind to suit let those kinds kinda be decided upon providing always teat that pro per precautions be taken to prevent their atlon and so with other grains griffis and with vegetables and plants in all their varieties when these are once properly attended to the steps necessary to stock t the best of their kind will naturally enough suggest themselves to the bishop his counselors and the leading men of his ward mard then if it 4 a mau expends paeans mean tv procure the best mst varlet varieties les ies of df

many instances jn instances stances only causes of an n 0 asi ael nd V ta hlin will be sources of pleasure and profit the bishops in order to heep keep posted on all matters connected with the wel wen fare of their wards ought to meet together often and give each other the benefit of their experience experienc 6 they could b by this means form themselves into a 3 mutual T u tuai improvement society or an I 1 agricultural society that would be un equaled for its practical knowledge and power to do good and to effect great reforms bishops to tb properly magnify their thelt callings should be men of intelligence and synergy energy and be the leading and most progressive minds of the community their wards where they reside in the country should each be a model farm on a grand scale where they reside in the city wat they he should be Is modes models of everything that Is pleasant and attractive for a city fa farms city lots roads lanes and streets in a properly managed man aged ward should not be prof 11 ll filled 1 with weeds nor be cumbered cambered cumb ered with straggling and unsightly fences we allude to these subjects now because we think them timely spring sprin is upon us and whatever is to be done dono this lis its season in these matters ought to be done promptly there is nothing difficult in the performance of all these labors there is a right and wrong way to do everything and though tradition or habit may cause causo the wrong way to appear the easier yet the practice of the right way will soon convince every one that it is the more pleasant and profitable of the two it Is a pleasure to a man to have a furm or city lot free from om weeds and filled with the choicest varieties of grain vegetables and fruits beside sit pays it costs no more to raise good grain good vegetables good fruit than it 16 does to raise poor chere there is no more expense in raising a 1 good rood fline blooded colt or calf or lamb than in raising a runt of the same variety indeed there is reason to conclude that the fine nine blooded animal costs less lees than the other oiher i |
