The study at Grafton Experiment Farm tests continuing cultivation up to tasseling versus stopping after emergence.

In one year delaying cultivation reduced yield. overall, practice may be profitable where soils resist cracking and early season weather is favorable.
A Canadian study from the Central Experimental Farm finds curing and handling hay during drying greatly affects nutrient retention. Tests on grasses and clovers show leaf loss and reduced protein content when drying is mishandled, with leaves fading and shattering occurring if weather delays curing. Proper weather timing, partial cutting, and careful handling preserve forage value and minimize losses.

Emphasis on strict packing and grading, early season insurance against mildew, and using scales to train packers and ensure quality.
The Department of Agriculture tested spreaders for Bordeaux mixture over two seasons at Glenfield. Experiments with seed oil fish soap and resin oil spreaders showed vines carried foliage better than standard spray. Rain fish oil emulsion proved cheaper and easier to obtain, though weather affected results.
A Poultry Department expert notes one third of eggs reach markets as unsafely stored or poorly graded. Careful packing and elimination of infertile, incubated eggs are urged to protect farmer earnings and ensure quality. Improved handling, twice-daily checks, and three-grade sorting aim to prevent hidden losses.
Director Dr Harvey Sutton presents statistics showing high maternal mortality in the late 19th century with 128000 births and one death per 218 in the average fourth child. Mortality rises sharply with maternal age from 20 25 to 35 45, indicating age as a key factor in rising death rates.
