PREPARE FOR SEEDING EARLY (Experimental Farms News) Preparation for seeding includes buying the seed, cleaning, treating it for disease, and putting the planting machinery in shape to do the neces- sary work without a hitch. • Perhaps the immediate necessity for care'and early attention to these sug- gestions is more urgent this year than ever before. Machinery is aging and becoming more liable to breakdowns; spare parts are not always easily ob- tained, and following last year's un- favourable season, good seed is scarce. Good seed has certain essential characteristics. The most important of these are good germinating power and growing ability, often summed up in the term viability, freedom from weeds and other crops, and purity and suitability of variety, 'Good germination and freedom from impurities are assured when seed is purchased by grade, and purity Of variety when registered seed is used.. If the seed is home grown or ob- tained from a neighbour, a germination test should be made. This can be done at home or a sample can be sent' 'to the nearest seed laboratory for an official analysis. Clean seed is Very important. 'Weeds are prevalent enough already, so that• every effort should be.made to prevent the introduction of new ones, The market value of grain is lowered when seeds of other crop plants are found in it. Suitability of variety is essential. Only varieties that are suited to local conditions should be used. For in- stance in a district,having a short sea- son, the use of anything but an early maturing variety spells failure from the start, or again in a district where rust is common, the use of a resistant variety is imperative. All seed should be treated :or dis- ease. Treatment with the new im- proved mercuric .,,compounds can be, carried out considerably ahead of seed time. This saves time when the rush of Spring work commences. All these operations should be done as soon as possible to avoid delay and disappointment when it is seeding time in the Spring.
