Anyene,t can, have an accident,
and these unfortunate incidents
occur without warning and when
least expected. According to Lateen
Stewart in the April edition of the
Junior Farmer News, the Junior
Farmers' Association 'of Lanark
County is sponsoring a earepaign
to reduce the number of aecidelete
that oecur each, Year in that parti-
cular county,
Such projects taken on by these
farm %groups across the country
are benefieial, not only to the in-
diliduals and organizatiens tatting
part, but to entire communities and
are to be commended, The Lanark
Association has taken on a large-
scale safety educational program
covering all phases of rural life
from. traffic accidehts, fire, machi-
nery and, accidents in the' home,
Concerning fire, farm ponds and
community reservoirs have been
suggested, Most districts have a
fire brigade and a fire truck avail-
able for fighting rural -fires but
very often farm wells are not cap-
able of supplying enough water to
ortinguish a had fire, Rural and
urban homes should also have fire
extinguishers handy and all mem-
bers of the family should know how
to use them,
The Lanark Juniors have
stressed the value of first aid
training and the necessity of carry-
ing a first aid kit in the ear,
They also inspected more than
forty farms throughout the. county
in their safety survey and found
many deathtraps on every farm,
Some of the most common faults
were found to be extension cords
missued on milkers, radios and
other fixtures which should have
permanent type wiring; light
switches within easy reach of, wa-
ter systems; burned out fuses re-
placed with coins or wire; electric
wire over roofs with inadequate
clearance and broken' electric plug-
ins,
Around the buildings 4nd farm-
yard most accidents-are caused by
misplaced articles such as boards
filled with nails and loose Wire, un-
covered barrels or tanks, of water
Within reach of, small children,
rubbish piles and gas tanks too
close, to, buildings, or forks, bags.
and boards lying around in the
barn.
Ignoranc'e and carelessness when
operating machinery cause the
greatest number of *accidents. Dur-
ing their inspection tau- they no-
tided such things as lack of guards
on electric fans and on separator
and electric Milker belts, Mowers
sitting outside with blades on the
ground, axes and saws lying Where
people may walk over them,
Care is also needed to keep the

Tillage methods used on heavy
textured soil may have a pronounc-
ed effect on corn yield. Tests on
BrOokston clay soil at the Experi-
mental Substation, Canada Depart-
ment, of Agriculture, Woodslee, for
the Past hree years, have indicated
that fall plowing usually gives the
best corn yields. Early spring
plowing gave the next best yield
edinpared with fall plowing.
The tillage tests at Woodslee in-
cluded, in addition to fall plowing,
spring plowing followed by two
diskings and the plow-plant and
mulch Ant methods. Corn ,wris,
planted, directly into spring-plow-
ed soil in the plow-plant method
by setting the planter shoes to
feiliow in the tractor wheel marks.
Tne mulch-plant treatment for corn
was made in standing alfalfa by
preparing a twenty-inch strip et
soil for each corn row, leaving a
twenty-inch ,strip :of undisturbed
rod between the rows for soil build-
ing purposes. The spring-plowed
Method with two diskings and the
blew-plant method gave about the
same yield. Oh the other hand, .1-he
nuleh-plant method proved to be a
failure oh Brookston clay soil.

High quality seed may be de-
saribed as seed Which will produce
crops that are:satIOractory to both
the growers and the users,. states
the Field Husbandry Deparement,
Ontario Agricultural College. •
„ The use of good. seed es only one
of the practices which produce
a satisfactory crop, but it is a
yield factor which , is controlled by
the grower according to available
information and his own know-
ledge hd. experience.
Farmers who grow oats Want
reed which will produce a crop
having a heavy yield of grain,
strong straw Which stands up well
and makes harvesting easier and
less costly, and high resistance to
the plant diseases which tend to
hinder plant growth and reduce
the yield.
Livestock - feeders want grain
consisting of ,heavy, well-filled
kernels which" Eire not too high
in fibre content for the kind of
livestock they are , feeding.
Barley growers and feeders
have practically the sable require-
ments. The principal industrial
use of barley is the manufacture
of malt, and for this purpose
quality is 'determined by labora-
tory tests and the experience gain-
ed by the manufacturers. Malting
barley should be a variety ap-
proved for this purpose.
good seed for crop production
is large, plump, well
from
ripe ripened,
high germination, free
seeds and other impurities, and is
of a variety which is adapted to
the needs of the grower arid the
conditions' of soil and ' climate
where his farm is located.
When large Seed is selected it
should not be larger than is
typical of the variety. It should
be sown at a higher rate per acre
than smaller Seed, as there are
fewer seeds in a bushel than when
small seed is used.
The classes and grades of cereal
crop seeds defined in the Seeds
Act in the order of their quality
for seeding purposes are as
follows:- Registered No. 1; Reg-
istered No. 2; Registered No. 3;
Certified No. 1; Certified No. 2;
• 1 seed; No. 2 seed; No, 3 seed.
The minimum, germination of any
Grade No. 1 .seed is 85%, ;'Grade
No 2 - 75%, and ".0 tade No. 8' -
65%;"
Registered No, 1 seed hEts no

Impurities than any other elass

OF SEED DRILL
The life of the old type train.
drillused by our 'fathers 'was up-
wards of -forty years, Whereas the
life of the Modern grain-fertilizer
drill has been shortened to a mere
ten years or less.
A circular just published by the
Ontario Department of Agrietilture
entitled "The Care and Adjustment
of the Seed-Fertilizer Drill", points
out that the addition of the ferti-
liser box and feed, Mechanism to
the Modern grain drill has resulted
in a serious Maintenance problem;
that of preventing corrosion 'of
working parts by the acids result-
ing when the fertilizer is damp.
•To prolong the life and useful-
tress of the Modern seed drill pro-
per treatment to prevent corrosion
is vital, The, circular gives detail-
ed instructions 'in the care and
maintenance of the nfaclere seed
drill, The drill should be given a
daily cheek to be sure that all the
bolts are firmly tightened, and the
moving parts lubricated and inoV-
ing freelY. A' daily clean-up is
recerninended to be sure that all
fettillter and chist are removed
from the machine.
Detaile'd instructions are given
for cleaning and lubrication before
the drill is, put away after the
seeding Is done, No matter how
carefully the drill Is cleaned and
Maintained, normal Wear Of the
machine Will result in VAtiatiohe In
the amounts of seed delivered by
the runs. WOrri tuns will deliver
more grain,. This is usually oVer-
conie by setting the sowing rate
lever 'back. While tinn procedure
will Correa the total amount sown
the damaged runs will still be

Will be tinciete-tieeding„ The circular
gives instructions for correcting
this 'condition, so that all runs will
be lindorril in their needing rate.
