Seed at Auction May Not Be Bargain The farm auction is an institution of long standing where the highest bidder gets the article at a price he is prepared to pay. In most cases the price paid bears some relation to the true value of the article or animal, but in grass and clover seeds the ap parent bargain at an auction may turn out to be a definite liability. A sample of a 200-pound lot of seed recently purchased at a farm auction was sent in to the Field Crops Branch, Ontario Department of Agriculture, for analysis. An official examination by the Plant Products Division of the Dominion Department of Agriculture revealed that, in addition to Alfalfa, Red Clover, Alsike, Sweet Clover and Timothy, each ounce of the mixture contained 565 weed seeds or one bil lion, eight hundred thousand weed seeds for the 200-pound lot. On the basis of one ounce these were: 306 Night Flowering Catchfly; 90 Curled Dock; 68 Green Foxtail; 45 Couch Grass; 23 Bladder Campion; 22 Rib Grass and 11 'Chicory. Canada’s seed laws are designed for the pro tection of purchasers because the weed seed content of a bag of grass or gume seed jg not readily discernible on casual observation, and tbe only way to be reasonably sure is to buy these seeds on grade, This particular lot of seed like many others bought on Sight at farm auct- ions turned, out to be an extremely doubtful bargain. In 10 years Canada’s farm horse population has declined by two*1 thirds to about 1,000.000, Cancer of the skin is the commonest form of cancer ip men.
