What is your impression? Most likely you will feel that you have a real progressive farmer for a neigh bor. Bpring seeding very aften comes with a rush. We all realize how im portant it is to get on the land ns soon a& it is ready. If proceedings are held up in the midst pf seeding to clean grain the chances are that it will be cleaned in a very hurried way, in some cases showing, little im provement. Then too we sometimes find that most oi! the grain has been fed 'and the amount left is just suf-, ficient for seed requirement making it impossible to clean much of the poorer light shrunken grain out lest there be a shortage for seed. If your grain requires one, two or three cleanings before it is fit. for sowing this is the right time to be gin. A five bushel increase in oats, bar ley and mixed grain will go far to ward paying the taxes on. an aver age farm. How do we get the five bushel increase? The‘fanning mill will do it. Some practical farmers say that the fanning mill used prop erly would produce ten bushels in crease instead of five bushels. What the Ontario Agricultural Col lege has found out about, grain yields:— Average of seven years experi ments with oats. Other grains gave very similiar results:— Large lump seed yielded sixty-two bushels per acre. Medium plump seed yielded fifty- four bushels ppr acre. 0 Small seed yielded forty-six bush els per acre. Huron County grows in the neigh borhood of 200,000 acres of oats, barley and mixed grain annually which yields around thirty-six bush els per acre. Five bushels increase at fifty cents would mean $500,000 extra farm reve.nue. , The loss^ through sowing, .weed seeds is knowh. to be. very heavy all over the Dominion. " Growers may not sow them intentionally but if they are sowing anything less than the very highest ‘ grade they are likely to be,sowing.some weed seed. The Io-wer. tpe .gradg jthe greater the possibility of "getting noxious weeds. Much of the home, grown small- seeds are* sown without being properly cleaned. Tiie law .forbids the offer ing of ungraded', seed fbr sale. It is in the interestk.bf every farmer to soar bfeUif, ■ Well ’grtt'ded’ seeds and grains’as? this is the first step in the fight for. the control of noxious weeds.. From the drill survey con ducted last spring throughout the entire province there’were many lots of seeds .found to.be foul with weed seeds. The discriminating buyers cannot afford to buy them, as they know it is impossible to clean such TO.ZjZ |<i tM,' ■' ----------------T-r- Giv$s cold weather health at low cost ' HIFssse biscuits of war mth and . in oven and serve with warm milk. * Made by The Canadian Shredded Wheat Company, Ltd. seed up to the standard required by the Canadian Seed Control Act. These rejected lots constitute a real menace to Agriculture, as to often, ■contrary to law, they are peddled over the back fence and a new crop of weeds sown. While this practice is illegal it is impossible to check up on individual selling in the country. To guard himself against such a risk the farmer should take advantage of the services offered by the Dominion Government Laboratories and before sowing a pound og ungraded seed should have it tested., If a suitable sample cannot be obtained from the home grown, grain then it is advis able to -purchase from some farmer who is making a special try of grow ing good grain for seed of standard varieties, if you have to buy seed the time to look after it is now, as there is a big demand for good seed.

It is expected that by the spring of 1930 the railway will be ready,foy operation. The Hudson’s Bay Railway runs from The Pas,.Manitoba, to Church ill on Hudson Bay, a distance of 510 miles, and when completed it will provide the shortest rail and water route to Europe from the grain fields of Western Canada, and re versely a shorter route to Europe from the Canadian Middle West. .The distance to Liverpool via.
