To Farmers by Department of Agrictilture In .a crowded winter schedule of farm meetings, in timely and im- portant articles in the farm press, and in a variety of agricultural bulletins, no better advice has been offered to farmer in the spring of the year than the slogan "Seed the Best," The value of good soil, high fertility, good and costly cultivation, and good wea- ther is reduced,when anything but the best seed is sown. - • Wise farmers, before they place an order for their season's supply of fertilizer, will have a soil test report, But no matter what the fertility practices, a crop can be no better than the seed it grows from, And, judging from past seed drill surveys,, seed testing is a practice confined largely to the select group of registered seed growers. , Good seed, however, is much more than a grade from a seed laboratory. In commercial seeds, this guarantees the germination and purity within the standards required by the grade. But befere seed can be considered the best, it must also be the right variety to do the job you intend. This year there is no scarcity of the, right varieties., Registered seed grow- ers are offering seed of Garry and Rodney oats, and, in the ear- lier maturing group, Clintland and Shield; and in the huiless variety, Vicar is offered. Brant, York, Herta and Parkland Barley are also available. One of these var- ieties is best for your farm, and any one is better than an unknown or •inferior variety. Forage crops are of even great- er importance than cereals in our economy. Here again, certified seed of the right variety is the best seed, Certified seed is avail-. 0 able from seed dealers of Vernal, Dupuits and Alfa'Alfalfa, LaSalle Red Clover, Clireae Timothy, Lin- coln Brome, and Erripire and Vik- ing Trefoil. Cir'eular 296, "Field Crop Recommendations for Ont- ario," will help', you -decide which variety is best for you, Don't handicap yourself with poor seed. Don't take a chance on weed seeds. They're hard to get rid of, and they cost you dollars. Don'ttake a chance on low ger- mination. It can reduce your crop, leave more room for weeds,' .Garry and Rodney oats are re- sistant to smut, They are not re- sistant to seedling blight. For full stands, have „ spring grains treated with a mercurial-type seed disinfectant. Don't take a chance on less than the beSt variety. Varieties have been developed,: tested, and are licensed only when proven super- ior in some characteristics. You may as well benefit from this pro- gram. If you have the right variety in your granary at home, check on the purity and germination. You may be surprised. For cereals, send a two-pound sample (fee 75 cents); •for ''.grasses and clovers, send a four-ounce sample (fee one dollar), to the seed laboratory in your district. - In ,Eastern Ontario, send it to Plant Products Divis- ion Building, Carling Ave, Ottta- wa; in Western Ontario, (west of Ontario County), to Plant Pro- ducts Division, 86 Collier Street, Toronto. It's still not too late to make a good resolution: "During 1959 I ,will not sow any seed with purity and germination below the require- ments of Number I. seed." Winners Announced In Mullett F of A Co-op Essay Contest WE NOW HAVE Winners of the Hullett Town- ship Federation of Agriculture es- say contest were announced at the directors meeting of that group in Londesboro Community Hall on Thursday night, April 9.

A misleading report such as this getting into town and city homes causes mistrust and hard feelings,• it being hard for the -con- sumer as well as the farmers to imagine -the vast spread between' this programs cost of production and the consumer prices. It is hoped in the future these pro- grams will include all phases in the costs of production, such as labour, depreciation, interest on in- vestment, etc. The meeting was brought to a close with the serv- ing of lunch.
