Seed Potato Markets -
The limiting factor in the expansion
of the certified seed potato industry
is now not one of supply but of
markets, states the Commercial Intel-
ligence Journal. A study of produc-
tion statistics indicates that every year
considerably more potatoes are certi-
fied than are sold for seed either in
Canada or on the export market. It
would seem likely that, with the .ces-
sation of hostilities in Europe, there
would be an active demand for a con-
siderable volume of good seed to build
up European supplies as rapidly as
possible. This market, however, may
be of a temporary nature and would
exist only as long as the European
countries are unable to supply their
own needs.
Hardy Canadian Varieties
Of Red Clover
(Experimental Farms News)
Tests conducted by the Division of
Forage Plants, Central Experimental
Farm, during the past 15 years, have
shown conclusively that Canadian
varieties of red clover are superior to
most imported varieties in hardiness
and in yield under Canadian conditions,
says Dr. T. M. Stevenson, Dominion
Agrostologist. The average percent-.
age of winter-killing for Canadian
varieties during the 15 year period was
12.6 per cent,.as compared with the
average of slightly over 30 per cent for
imported seed. 'While imported var-
ieties varied considerably in hardiness,
depending upon the country of their
origin, none of them was equal to
Canadian varieties under Canadian
conditions.
In view of these facts Canadian
growers can save themselves consider-
able loss by purchasing Canadian-
grown seed of Canadian varieties
whenever possible. Some of the
better known varieties for those areas
where early-flowering or double-cut
types are commonly sown are "Ot-
tawa" and "Dollard". Its those areas
where the late-flowering or single-cut
type is commonly used "Mammoth"
and "Altaswede" have given excellent
Without knowing the force of words,
it is impossible to know men.
