Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report on Agriculture in Malta In the United States and Australia, dry-farming has been carefully studied, its principles worked out and its methods modernised. Conditions are so very different in Malta, that it would, to my mind. Be of Empire - wide interest, if the system there were also to be studied and made the subject of experiment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report on Agriculture in Malta Agriculture in the Maltese Islands is probably as old an art as it is anywhere. The Megalithic inhabitants must have been proficient in its practice. There is some evidence of an abundant population in those days, and food supply must largely, if not entirely, have been grown on the spot. Carvings of domestic animals in Stone Age ruins point to stock-keeping, and, with only a little imagination, the existence of cotton or other fibre cultivation and a weaving industry can be conjectured from the voluminous skirts carved on a tiny figure bearing every evidence of Stone Age, art and found among the Megalithic remains. There is, however, little agricultural history available. During the Phoenician period, cotton was certainly cultivated, and the products of its cultivation are referred to during the Roman period. Coming to more recent times, we find it evident that the Knights of St. John thought very little of Maltese agriculture. They described Malta as "an arid rock, not growing half enough to feed the scanty population." The population at that time was estimated at 20,000, and a census in 1632 gave it as 50,113. As late as 1862, Leith Adam drew a sad picture of the summer cultivation. According to him vegetation existed only in gardens. Either Leith Adam was mistaken, or summer cultivation has made great strides, for his description is far from applicable now. To appreciate the agriculture, more than a passing glance is necessary. Approaching Malta from the sea, one notices the resemblance to parts of the Adriatic and Syrian Coasts, which likewise seem devoid of vegetation. To have anything like an idea of the extent of the cultivation, it is necessary to go inland and look down on the terraces which, from the sea, are obscured by the retaining walls. On first acquaintance, with the exception of goats, horses and small donkeys, livestock seem non-existent. I was several days on the Islands before I noticed other animals, particularly cattle. The reason for this apparent dearth becomes plain when one realises the stock-keeping methods of the farmers. Cattle are kept throughout the day and night in outhouses or in lower chambers behind high walls, and appear, on the threshing floors and at work generally, late in the afternoon or early in the morning only. Pigs are to be seen rooting in Sulia in the evenings and poultry are to be found mainly confined inside the farmcourts. If one walks along the roads, no real idea of the farming can be obtained, but if one walks on the tops of the walls or enters the houses, one is often agreeably surprised at the extent of it. I did not realise the intensiveness of the cultivation until I hit on the idea of sitting on the hood of my motor-car and viewing it generally from there. Orchards were often looked for even then in vain, and it was necessary to make a house to house visitation before one could realise the extent of fruit culture in the high-walled gardens attached to these.

Book Synopsis Cultivation and Diseases of Fruit Trees in the Maltese Islands (Classic Reprint) by : John Borg
Download or read book Cultivation and Diseases of Fruit Trees in the Maltese Islands (Classic Reprint) written by John Borg and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-25 with total page 634 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cultivation and Diseases of Fruit Trees in the Maltese Islands Therefore we find that the planting of fruit trees is done only when the land is owned by the planter. Or when his rights are protected by a long lease or empkyt/zeuszs. Unfortunately landowners are unwilling to part with their land on long leases, although the payment of rent is thereby better secured than in the case of short leases. This reluctance on the part of the landowner is due in great measure to the existence of the antiquated system above mentioned, but should the tenant be allowed the full enjoyment of his rights and of the fruits of his labour, so long as a fair rent is paid and the soil properly cultivated, it will not be long before both Islands become covered with fruit trees to the advantage of agriculture and of the entire community.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from My Little Farm This is less a handbook in scientific agriculture than a headbook in profitable farming, but it is for both, and for the cultivation of character as essential to cropping. The profit is no longer possible without the science, but the science must either show the profit or remain under suspicion. The expert, working at the Government's ex pense, can do anything with a plot of half a rood, so long as he is not asked to balance the product against the cost, but the practical farmer wants to see the net profit on a working scale, and he is right, because the final measure of science in all industrial application is the economic value. No other standard can be safely admitted into industrial practice. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Experimental Farms, 1890 written by and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-07 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Experimental Farms, 1890: Appendix to the Report of the Minister of Agriculture While it must be admitted that such tests will need to be repeated many times, in order to reach averages which may neutralize the variations brought about in crops by varying seasons, there is nevertheless such a regularity in the falling off in yield week after week, as to carry with it convincing proof of the heavy losses which are almost sure to occur where late seeding is practised. The loss on Prize Prolific barley by a delay of one week in sowing is nearly 16 bushels per acre, and on Danish Chevalier a little more than 11 bushels, while a delay of two weeks shows an average Ioss of more than half the cr0p. The area under barley in Ontario in 1890 is estimated at 7 acres, and if but half of the average loss which was found to occur in the experiments with the Prize Prolific barley in Ottawa be taken as a basis for an esti mate, it would appear that the farmers of Ontario may lose, by a delay of one week in the time of seeding, over two and-a-half millions of dollars on the barley crop alone, and by a delay of two weeks more than three and three-quarter millions, reckoning the barley at 50 cents per bushel. The loss from similar delay in the wheat crop has proved proportionately less, being about one-sixth of the crop where seeding has been delayed one week, one fourth where it has been' deferred for two weeks, while a three weeks delay shows a loss of considerably more than one-half.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Lighter Branches of Agriculture The Lighter Branches of Agriculture is a convenient expression which has been used to denote that field of labour in agricul ture which is more specially the province of women than of men. Readers of Mr Hardy's novels know, of course, that much of the rough work of the farms is often done by women, even in this country. Tess was not only a dairymaid: she had also to dig and hoe, and bind the sheaves after the reaper. But the rougher work is after all done by the men in England.

Book Synopsis The Political Economy of the 2014-2020 Common Agricultural Policy by : Johan F.M. Swinnen
Download or read book The Political Economy of the 2014-2020 Common Agricultural Policy written by Johan F.M. Swinnen and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2015-07-30 with total page 597 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After five years of debates, consultations and negotiations, the European institutions reached an agreement in 2013 on the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) for the 2014-2020 period. The outcome has major implications for the EU’s budget and farmers’ incomes, but also for Europe’s environment, its contribution to global climate change and to food security in the EU and in the world. It was decided to spend more than €400 billion during the rest of the decade on the CAP. The official claims are that the new CAP will take better account of society's expectations and lead to far-reaching changes by making subsidies fairer and ‘greener’ and making the CAP more efficient. It is also asserted that the CAP will play a key part in achieving the overall objective of promoting smart, sustainable and inclusive growth. However, there is significant scepticism about these claims and disappointment with the outcome of the decision-making, the first in which the European Parliament was involved under the co-decision procedure. In contrast to earlier reforms where more substantive changes were made to the CAP, the factors that induced the policy discussions in 2008-13 and those that influenced the decision-making did not reinforce each other. On the contrary, they sometimes counteracted one another, yielding an ‘imperfect storm’ as it were, resulting in more status quo and fewer changes. This book discusses the outcome of the decision-making and the factors that influenced the policy choices and decisions. It brings together contributions from leading academics from various disciplines and policy-makers, and key participants in the process from the European Commission and the European Parliament.
