Seed Gamble
Doesn't Pay
As 4t the vagaries of weather
and the uncertainty of markets
were not enough of a gamble,,
many .Ontario farmers persist in
Stacking the cards against (them
selves by sowing unclean seed,
according to (the Field ’Crops
Branch of the Ontario Depart
ment of Agriculture.
(Seed drill surveys conducted iby.
the department last year indicate
that a good many farmers are
inclined to gamble even when
they do not have- to. Nine out of
ten farmers included in the sur
vey gambled that the .grain they
were sowing was suitable for
seed. Only one farmer of ten pur
chased graded cereal seed, or had
their seed graded. Rather than
have their seed analysed (they
took a chance that it was clean
enough and high enough in ger
mination to do for seed.
One out of every five lost their
gamble since samples- of their
seed when asalysed were classed
as “rejected*’ due to the type or
number of weed (seeds present.
One Quit of every ten lost their
gamble on the.germination abili
ty of their small seed. Ten per
cent of all seed samples were Clas
sed as rejected 'because of poor
germination,
Records of the department in
dicate that about one farmer out
of every three is prepared to
gamble in the maltiter of -seed
treatment for disease. Many
farmers took a chance on losing
from twenty to fifty percent of
their crop rather than treating
'their seed at a cost of about
twenty-five cents an acre.
• The relatively small cost of
sowing graded, treated seed will
pay high dividends an quality -and
yield when harvest time rolls
around.

He's A Knobby Clark'
'Every 'Saturday evening, in
spite of television, hockey games
or what (have you, the most re
freshing lift we get is Gregory
Clark in “Weekend Magazine”,
it has never been our honor to
meet this man but you only have
to loQk at his" picture and he
typifies -all the. “Knobby Clark’s”
in the world.
If half the stories he writes
are only half true Gregory Clark
has lived a full life. We remem
ber his cartoons in the Star
Weekly way back before the war.
His experiences as he tells them
as a war correspondent would be
worthy of a complete -edition.
Last week, "Pigs” was de
finitely a riot, (no more, jso than
"His and Her”). How often farm
ers plagued with trespassers
would like to have (those sows,
a playful bull 'or a dog that
showed authority. (Back here in
the country, either, than a few
hunters (some of whom have no
respect for fences) and a' fewW1IWVUU, Of iCO-pCUU XV* w
Clandeboye, children fishing in the creek, we
WHERE BETTER BULLS ARE USED"
have very , little to complain
about. The farmers along the
highways -and around towns and
cities have plenty, and w-e sym
pathize with them.
.Spring is 'here and with it
comes the horde 'of poor wasted
city d/wellers trying to absorb
some of the goodness of the
country. Most city’children are
a definite hazard on farms. We
have seen them take over the
place, without any objections
from their parents.
We wonder just what the same
parents would say if we permitt
ed our family to behave in a
similar imanner if we visited them
—-let them whoop and run about
in the store, factory or office.
Their’-s believe it is their right
to run amock in the barns and
fields. (The devil of it is—the
farmer must assume all responsi
bility if they are -injured.)
You -would almost -think we
don't like' visitors. We do! The
wife loves to have friends in for
dinner. We’re proud to show off
our farm and animals, just as
you are. 'But—deliver us from
those 'obnoxious ones who believe
the farm is- a playground and
everything from the attic to the
back fifty is theirs to plunder
and harass.
