CAN YOU HELP WITH
THE FEED SUPPLY
Farmer Co-Operation Requested Re-
garding Seed Grain For 1944
Due to the partial failure of 1943
oats and barley crops in the Province,
the Ontario Departmint of Agricul-
ture this week is taking steps in an
effort to assure an adequate seed sup-
ply for 1944, The Department is re-
questing the co-operation of growers
in planning now for their 1944 seed
needs and reporting individual require-
ments to county agricultural repre-
sentatives by November 15th,
Hon. Thomas L. Kennedy, Minister
of Agriculture, in commenting' on this
measure states: "What the Depart-
nient of Agriculture would like farm-
ers to do is secure wherever possible
good seed of suitable varieties for
their 1944 sowing needs. All oats and
barley suitable for seed from the 1943
crop and any held over from 1942
should be cleaned and offered for sale
as seed,. Farmers should offer their
surplus seed first to neighbours and
advise their Agricultural Represent-
atives of any not sold by November
15th. Do not feed grain of seed
quality, if necessary, replace it with
Western feed grain. Farmers are .ad-
vised to buy seed grains early and if
unable to obtain suitable seed, advise
their Agricultural Representative not
later than November 15th, This will
enable us to estimate the .requirements
for each district so that there will be
ample seed grain for veryone".
It is further suggested that Direc-
tors and Members of County Crop
Improvement Association can become
actively interested in the movement
and supply of seed grain, thereby con-
tributing valuable assistance in a situ-
ation which demands serious and lin-
mediate action on the part of farmers
all over the Province,
