Northern climate speeds vegetable maturity yet varies by region

In Canadian north regions vegetables mature quickly but days length alter growth. At Morden Manitoba experimental farm Tiny Tim peas reach nine inches and pods two inches by June 20 from April 30 seeding, while Beaverlodge Alberta peas reach 18 inches and pods two and a half inches by mid July from May seeding. F7735 sweet corn hits August 1 at Morden and August 18 at Kenville Swan River valley, with fall frost possible by August 20. Breeding efforts at Morden and Kenville aim to adapt varieties to northern gardens.

Close supervision of children prevents accidental injuries

Dr. Stanley C. Best of the Saskatchewan Department of Public Health urged thorough home safety checks and constant adult vigilance after Child Safety Day observations in Regina and Saskatoon.

Plastic greenhouse popularity grows for small setups

Horticulturist G. S. Swain of the Kentville Federal Experimental Farm notes rising use of plastic greenhouses as protected growing spaces. Designs vary from wood-frame houses with removable panels to laminated rafters, Quonset huts, and emerging aluminum frames with grooved film retention. Plastic houses cost up to a third less than glass, but require more maintenance and ventilation challenges. Swain recommends inexpensive annual film replacement and ongoing development of durable plastics.

From trap nests and progeny tests to year round production, feed efficiency improved from about four to 2.5 pounds per pound gained, and eggs per hen rose to about 250 per year. Emphasizes ongoing need for fundamental and applied research in nutrition, disease control, and equipment.
