Excerpt from Appendix to the Report of the Minister of Agriculture, Experimental Farms: Reports of the Director, Agriculturist, Horticulturist, Chemist, Entomologist and Botanist, Poultry Manager, Supt; Experimental Farm, Etc;, For 1893 The season of 1893 has been very varied, both in its character and results, in different parts of the Dominion. Almost everywhere the spring season has been back ward, and cold and wet weather delayed seeding. In the western and central parts of Ontario, a moist spring with an abundant hay crop was followed by a period of severe drought, which, while it did not materially affect the yield of winter wheat, had a marked influence on the different varieties of Spring grain, making the average crop light. Summer dairying was also affected by the drying up of the pasture lands: later, timely rains, however, helped the root crops, which turned out fairly satisfactory. In the eastern portions of the province Spring growth was also tardy and backward, but under favourable conditions as to moisture an excellent hay crop was gathered. The latter part of the summer was unusually wet, especially just preceding and during the grain harvest, and rust prevailed to such an extent that the weight and quality of spring grain was reduced far below the average, and the returns were in some respects disappointing. The wet weather, however, kept the pasture lands in good condition, and was favourable to the growth of roots for stock, and many varieties have given a generous yield. Fodder corn has also in most localities turned out fairly well. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Experimental Farms, 1890: Appendix to the Report of the Minister of Agriculture The importance of continued experimental work in agriculture is recognized by thoughtful men in every civilized country, and State and Government aid to carry on the work is now liberally given, for it is generally admitted that from oft-repeated experiment the largest part of our most useful and accurate knowledge of agricultural subjects has been derived. It is also undeniable that many of the best agricultural products now in cultivation are the result of skillful experiments in the line of selection or of cross-fertilization, or both combined, and equally true that the products, thus somewhat artificially raised by unusual care to a position of high estimation have, when relegated to the hands of the average farmer, gradually deteriorated. There are but few varieties of grain, roots or other farm productions that were in general cultivation fifty years ago which still hold their place in the farmers estimation: most of them have enjoyed but a short-lived popularity, and given place to varieties having greater vigour, greater productiveness or better quality. A large proportion of agricultural products appear to have a life period, some short, some long, after which their vigour or vitality becomes gradually impaired until their cultivation can no longer be continued with profit. While these varietal changes are constantly going on, the specific forms remain for the most part unaltered. The six-rowed barley of to-day (Hordeum hexastichum) has the same general characteristics as when cultivated by the ancient Egyptians thousands of years ago, but the particular varieties of this plant now most in esteem are of recent introduction. The two-rowed barley (Hordeum distichum) has also been long in cultivation, and was largely used as food by mankind from an early period in human history, but this variety of grain did not attain the position it now holds as one of the most profitable of crops until, by careful experiment and selection, the plum, heavy and prolific varieties of modern times were originated. The potato is the same species as when introduced into Europe from America more than three centuries ago, but the varietal forms which have since been produced are past numbering, and so rapidly do these run their course and become enfeebled as to vigour and fertility that very few survive a period of twenty or thirty years. They "run out" and give place to their betters. Cereals hold any improvement which may be imparted to them with much greater tenacity than many other cultivated products. Possibly this may arise from their being invariably self-fertilized, which may result in a greater sensitiveness to external conditions, and lead to greater permanence in the changes which altered conditions sometimes bring about.
