Experiments in Crop Production Yield Records and Seed Selections
Experiments show Argentine Yellow giving highest tonnage in crops with Cap Yellow Lent and Mangels varieties delivering strong yields. Turnips produced over 2 percent dry matter per acre while mangels yielded up to 3 percent and 400 tons of crop with high dry matter. Ontario Champion topped with 25 tons of tops and 1650 pounds dry matter per acre. Seed root selections were made at Central Parma and other eastern stations to assess profitability, including Long red and yellow intermediate mangels. Aimed at understanding Canadian grasses and sedges, exchanges were arranged with Northern Europe, preparing about a thousand duplicate sheets for distribution to branch farms and stations.
