Elliott from South Huron, CROP REPORT By D. J. ROSE Spring sown cereal grains are making good progress. However, recent heavy rains have held up the sowing of corn and to some extent, beans. Hay and pastures have made a good recovery after the recent frosts and it is expected that there will he plenty of hay and pastul'e this year. New seedings of alfalfa and clover are exceptional. Ag Rep appeals to growers Sow new white bean seed to prevent costly disease District white bean growers were urged this week to discard old seed, which may carry di- sease, in favor of top quality seed now offered on local mar- kets. Douglas H. Miles, Huron ag rep, said. the "use of old seed over and over again from the same fields is liable to carry strains of the disease that are peculiar to that particular field andthat particular area." His full statement on the seed situation follows: "Sow the best and heat the rest is a saying that; has been carried. down throughthe ages as far as the use of good seed is concerned. This holds true as far as the white beans are con- cerned. The general comments from trade are that the good farmer and those with a large acreage are sowing fresh seed every year. "One should be careful in se- lecting the seed that is to be sown in the production of a qual- ity crop. New seed 'or seed from inspected fields is as relatively free of disease as we can get. The field has been field inspect- ed by members of the Canada Department of Agriculture and the seed is again inspected when it is in the bag and ready for sale to the farmer, "Anthracnose is a disease of beans that has been prevalent over the past few years. In fact. it has almost put the men out of the bean business when they were sowing some of the old varieties. "The new variety Sanilac, during the past year has been quite a boon to our farmers. In fact it is reported by some growers that the pick during the last year has resulted in a $50 increase per acre in their crop returns. The Sanilac variety has been, relatively free from an- thracnose, probably because of the bringing of new seed into the area; a seed that was relatively free of anthracnose. "Our farmers should be care- ful in the selection of their seed and should buy registered seed that they know is clean of an- thracnose, rust and blight. The use of old„ seed over and over again. from the sante fields is liable to carry strains of the di- sease that are peculiar to that particular, field and that particu- lar area. "For those reasons, it is es• sential that in order to be rela- tively sure .1 a top yielding crop and one that we can expect good returns from is to sow quality seed. "The Sanilac variety has been Registered Seed- Beans Second Year, No, 1 Registered Sanilac and Michelite at $5.70 PER BUSHEL BAG Ali seed previously ordered will be at this new'price. ACT QUICKLY!

The crop did not look as good as the previously grown variety of Michelite, but at harvest time it outyielded the Michelite variety, Both the Sani• lac and' the Michelite are ac- ceptable by the canning trade. The Clipper variety is not as ac- ceptable to the trade because the bean has a tendency to mush in the processing and in a dry season it has a tendency to split. "Our farmers would he well advised to use preferably Sani- lac but if. preferred Michelite and use the very best of seed that can be purchased. On the market this year is seed from registered No. 1, second genera- tion, and some of it is third gen- eration. There is a fair amount of good' quality seed available and every farmer should en- deavour to purchase the hest.
