WEED IMPURITIES SPOIL SEED CROP The matter of seed crop selection is now doubtless engaging the at­ tention of farmers who hope to ob­ tain a cash return from seed produc­ tion. Certain crops have, of course, been planned and seeded for this pur­ pose. These will include cereal crops principally. Selection of seed crops made at about this time will include such kinds as timothy, red clover, al­ sike, alfalfa, sweet clover and other forage crops. If consideration is be­ ing given to the savings of any of these crops for seed, certain factors should be taken into account. Per­ haps the first and most important of these is the quality of the seed likely to be produced as determined by free­ dom from weed seed impurities. In order to obtain the greatest re­ turn from seed production, it is im­ portant that the quality of the seed should be the highest obtainable. Too often seed production proves unpro­ fitable, the reason being that the crop was either unsuitable or was not pro­ perly prepared for seed production. The seed of certain weeds are so dif­ ficult to separate from grass and clov­ er seeds that the removal of the weeds from the seed crop, by rogue- ing or hand pulling is the only means of dealing with them successfully. This may be done profitably some times, but not always. Other seeds are hot only difficult of separation, but are of the noxious class and are, therefore, objectionable in seed of highest grades. Ox-eye daisy is one of these, and timothy in which this weed is present should not be saved I > For These - J CORDS I ••58Z z STRONGER^ Gum-Dipped Cords are only one of the ex­ tra values you get in Firestone Tires—at no extra cost.

Bladder campion, white cockle, couch grass, wild mustard, nightflowering catchfly, false flax, ribgrass and wild carrot are also of this class and therefore seed crops of alsike, alfalfa, red clover and sweet­ clover containing these weeds cannot be expected to give profitable returns.

VALUE OF FATTENING POULTRY FOR MARKET Evidence of the value of properly fattening market poultry was well de­ monstrated recently by producers in districts of the Province of Quebec, In these districts the producers crate or pen fattened their young cockerels before marketing and as a result a good percentage of the birds were made to qualify for the Milkfed class and brought a premium of two to three cents per pound which is offered for Milkfed birds over Selected. Proper fattening is an important part of any poultry marketing pro­ gram, states the Poultry Service, Live Stock Branch, Dominion Department of Agriculture. There is no kind of poultry to which this applies more forcefully than to young cockerels of broiler weights marketed during the summer months. The market gener­ ally becomes somewhat over-supplied with small, unfinished birds during June, July and a part of August, which are difficult to move into con­ sumption and are not suitable for ex­ port. Consumption of poultry can be in­ creased on the home market by sell­ ing the top grades, and premium pric­ es are offered for such quality. The export market will absorb large quan­ tities of Milkfed chickens weighing from two to four and one-half pounds per bird. By producing to meet the requirements on the home and export markets it should be possible to avoid any glut of dressed poultry.
