Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Prickly Pear as a Farm Crop NO attempts have been made hitherto to cultivate prickly pear as a regular crop in this country. The nearest approach to it was made by some of the old mission fathers of California, who im ported cuttings, probably from Mexico, and planted them in hedges, where thev served the double purpose of barriers against stock and as food for man. That they received any appreciable degree of cultivation. However, is very doubtful. They were probably grown in much the same manner that the so-called cultivated prickly pears are grown in Mexico to-day. An extended use has been made of the native crop at various times for the past fifty years or more in southern Texas. But it has mainly been spasmodic, lasting only until the drought was broken, ex cept for sheep and goats. Which are fed on it regularly. And in the case Of the few dairymen who have made it a practice to feed it for a portion of each vear. In short, the prickly pear has been con sidered an emergency feed, to be used only when other feeds fail. Even enthusiastic pear feeders in Texas thought that the results to be obtained from planting and cultivating an experimental tract would only be very interesting. There was little expectation that the plants would respond to cultivation as they have done. The facts presented in this paper, however, Show that the prickly pear will produce, under proper cultural methods similar to those used for the common staple crops, yields of roughage superior to some of the standard agricultural (crops of the region, especially when an off year occurs. It has proved itself under cultivation not onlv an emergency feed but an insurance against famine, as well as a plant which can be grown and depended upon regularly as a farm crop.

This book was released on 2017-10-28 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Yields of Native Prickly Pear in Southern Texas In March, 1908, the first planting of native varieties of prickly pear was made on a small scale at Brownsville. At this time two 84f00t rows 458 feet long were established on one side of a varietal collection planted the same summer. Single-joint cuttings were plowed under, as described in previous publications, at a distance of 3'feet apart in the row. This planting was given moderately good cultivation. The middles were kept clean, but often Bermuda grass and other vegetation were allowed to grow in the rows. In the latter part of October, 1909, or at the end of the second growing season, row 2 was cut arid weighed. In harvesting this row, a good stump (pl. I, figs. 1 and 2) consisting of one to four cuttings, but never over one cutting high, was left attached to the original cut ting, set 19 months before. The total material harvested in this manner weighed pounds, or 8. 53 tons. This showed a yield at the rate of 100. 721 tons to the acre for two seasons growth, or 50. 36 tons per acre per annum. The first row was not harvested at this time, but was reserved until the following February to be cut and used in establishing a 6 - acre planting. This row is believed to have yielded considerably more than row 2, harvested in the fall. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
