Suggest Minimum Prices For. Seed Aftercareful consideration of the seed situation across the prov- ince, together with prices for com- mercial feeds, the seed marketing committee of the Ontario Soil and Crop Improvement Association has recommended the following mini- mum prices for 1961 seeding: OATS -Registered No. 1 Grade, $1.75 per bushel; Certified No. 1 Grade, $1.65 per bushel; Commer- cial No. 1 Grade, $1.50 per bushel. BARLEY - Registered No. 1 Grade, $2.35 per bushel; Certified No. 1 Grade, $2.20 per bushel; Commercial No. L Grade, $1.90 per bushel. These prices are for treated seed in new bags at producer's farm, f.o.b. shipping point. The committee, composed of growers, dealers and officials of the federal and provincial Depart- ments of Agriculture, reports that York, Herta and Parkland varie- ties of barley are the most popu- lar. Garry and Rodney oats lead for best results, although newer varieties are being developed and released with some added advant- ages. Suggest Care .In Pruning , Practise Although the art of pruning trees and shrubs is considered by many to be a year-round job, deciduous trees, vines and certain types of shrubs will benefit greatly if they are pruned in the early spring. According to Horticulturists with the Ontario Department of Agri- culture, early springs means the dormant period just before the start of a 'new year's growth. Pruning at this time has several advtanges. Pruning -wounds heal THE.

IT'S SHOWN AT STEWART BROS. more quickly in the spring, there- by lessening dangers of disease and insect infestation. It's easier to cut the shape you want when there are no leaves to obstruct the framework of the plant. There is less likelihood of bark damage, es- pecially to larger trees, when prun- ing'is done in the spring. While good for many plants, early spring pruning should not apply to spring -flowering shrubs, as prospective blooms may be lost. Wait until the flowering per- iod is over, then prune. It also pays to ,,wait' awhile before prun- ing trees that "bleed" excessively. This "bleeding" or flow of sap is especially heavy with trees such as maple, birch and walnut. Though. the loss of sap may be great in many cases, the only real cause for alarm is the messy con- dition that results.
