REPORT FOR THE YEAR 1893-94 OF THE Farm of the New Jersey Agricultural College BY E. A. JONES, B.S., SUPERINTENDENT. (99) FARM OF THE NEW JERSEY AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. The College farm occupies a tract of rolling land on the eastern border of the city of New Brunswick. The soil is mostly clay, of red shale origin, with occasional patches of sandy loam. It is thoroughly underdrained, and practically free from stones and other obstructions. There are few fences, and these being mostly of Sedgewick woven wire, are easily moved as circumstances require. A lane extends through the farm from north to south; thus, the place is well laid out and fitted for regular farm work and field experiments. The barn is commodious and convenient, yet there is needed another building for farm implements and machinery, the supply of which is constantly increasing. Two maps of the farm accompany this report. Map No. 1 shows the topography of the farm and the lines of the ditches. The curved contour lines with numbers on them indicate the elevation of the ground on which they lie, in feet, above the surface of the pond, which latter is about seventy-five feet above mean tide. The farm buildings are also marked on this map: a is a dwelling-house; b a spring-house; c a farm-house; e the main barn. Map No. 2 shows the division of the farm. The fields are designated by numbers, and are separated from each other by heavy dotted lines. Subdivisions of fields are marked by letters a, b, c, d, etc. The work of the Farm during the past year has followed the same general lines as the year previous. Notwithstanding two serious drawbacks, the destruction of the greater part of the herd on account of tuberculosis and the severe drouth, operations have been attended with a fair measure of success. Practically all of the 97.4 acres contained in the farm are under cultivation, there being no pasture nor waste land. All ordinary crops of this section are raised either for experiment or as a source of income. |
