FARMERS URGED TO HAVE 1940 SEEDING REQUSITES ON HAND <T. D. MacLeod, of Department of Agriculture, Emphasizes Duty to In- Crease Crop Production for Empire Needs In view of the present situation in Europe, it is of vital importance that every effort be made to increase crop production, particularly for the sustenance of those actively engaged in the defence of the empire, says J. D. MacLeod, crops, seeds and weeds branch, Ontario department of agri­ culture. Ontario fanners have a duty to perform, that of making a special effort to produce more bushels per acre than has been customary in the past. It is possible to do this without increasing materially the cost of production by maintaining and building up soil fertilty; adopt­ ing greater efficiency of implements and labor; better cultural practices and by sowing the very best seed obtainable. 'Farmers are urged to make sure that they have their 1940 seeding requirements on hand. Clean and grade a sufficient amount of seed for your own use. Do not leave important work until your bins low. Do it now. If you have not sufficient or suitable seed of your own, purchase high quality seed from your neighbor. This should be done while prices are reasonable and before there is a scarcity. The sowing of. clean seed is first step in profitable farming the first step ih weed control, MacLeod declares. Clean seed should be a bright, plump, uniform sample, pure as to Variety, free from all foreign mat­ ter, including seeds of other cultivat­ ed crops, diseased grains, small shrunken grains and weed seeds. 1,000 5,000 4,000 5,000 10,000 10,000 Junk Headquarters Back of Hotel Open 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. The in the .Tuesday eve with the president pre­siding.
