The carrot seeds had declined almost 50% in the three years but was- still serviceable at a heavier seeding rate. These results are typical of many tests made. The point is that old seed should not be used before testing for ger­ mination.

News and Information For The Busy Farmer Test Seed Before • Sowing When seed fails to germinate after sowing, real loss results, for reseed­ ing costs money and early crop pros­ pects vanish. Recently a gardener sent samples of lettuce, onion, beet and carrot seed to the Dominion Seed Branch Laboratory, Ottawa, for ger­ mination test. The seed was three years old and intended for use next spring. The lettuce germinated 72%, the beet 71%, the carrot 49% and the onion 2%. Three years ago, when fresh, all of these seeds germinated over 90%. These tests proved once again that some kinds of seed loose their vitality quicker than others. The onion seeds were practically dead when three years old, while the beet | and lettuce seeds retained reasonably Fertilizers and Their Use Fertilizers are carriers of plant food and unless placed in a conven­ ient position for the plants to use, are ineffective. It is not enough to scatter the fertilizer around the plant on the surface of the soil with the ex­ pectation that bounteous rains or watering will take all the plant food down to the feeding roots. Some is bound to He lost unless cultivated in­ to the soil or better still it should be placed in narrow bands at the depth of the plant roots and from two to four inches away. This permits the roots to reach the fertilizer quickly and easily without chemical injury to the plant. The so-called “band way” of applying fertilizers to garden crops has proven the most effective and ec­ onomical Modern planters and drills designed to apply the fertilizer in band way. or approved males ,is recommended, and it is advisable to secure males early in order to get a good selection and to acclimatize them to local con,-, ditions. * * Incubators should be. looked ov£r and put in first class shape. They should be scrubbed and disinfected prior to incubation and also between, hatches. It is always good policy to have spare incubator supplies handy,, as many a hatch has been ruined by something going wrong after incuba­ tion has commenced and no spare parts on hand. Thermometers should be tested and placed at proper levels as a degree or so out may make con­ siderable difference in the size and strength of the hatch. Care should be exercised in select­ ing normal eggs of good shell text­ ure and colour. Breeding pens of the best hens mated to good males should receive the right feed and attention, in order to obtain eggs that/will pro­ duce strong chicks. Follow the dir­ ections supplied by the manufacturer for operation of the incubator as the directions have been compiled after considerable experimentation.

The flour derived from the bean is used as a foodstuff and the oilcake as an animal feed and fer­ tilizer.

For 1937 it is estimated that Canada’s ba­ con exports will be approximately • 190,000,000 lb., equivalent to 1,583,- I 000 live hogs. In 1932 the exports of j bacon, hams, and pork cuts to the ' United Kingdom totalled 35,820,400 lb.; in 1934, 120,410,200 lb., and in 1936, 158,049,600 lb. Preparing for Hatching Season Repeated experiments have shown that for egg production, pullets are superior to older birds. The incuba­ tion, hatching and rearing of a great many chicks is therefore a yearly ne­ cessity. The tendency is towards large hatcheries supplying the small­ er poultryman and farmer, and the sale of day-old chicks, sexed chicks and cross-bred chicks has increased rapidly, The individual can now purchase chicks from recognized agencies with assurance. The Department of Agri­ culture is now grading chicks as fol­ lows: Purple label, R. O. P. chicks from blood tested and Government recorded flocks; Red label, R, O. F. Sired Chicks, from blood tested and Government approved flocks, Blue label, Approved chicks, from approv­ ed cockerels, and approved banded and blood tested flocks.
