Discolored, •mouldy, and damaged
seed often produces s thinner
stand of lessvlgorouk (plants in
the field than_tthat required for a
ood crop says Prof. k. Keegan,
field Husbandry Department, On-
tario Agricultural College.
These are general rules and
there are exceptions. Sometimes
discolored seed will .germinate
well, and sometimes good looking
seed will not grow as well as might
be. expected from the appearance
of the seed.
Much of the seed from the 1956
crop should be tested before using
it for the 1957 crop.
Seed for use by the grower may
be tested at home by one of the
methods described in Extension
Circular No. 59, "Germinating Seed
at Home." It is obtainable from
the Publications Branch, Parlia-
ment Buildings, Toronto, 'or from
the office of the Agricultural Re-
presentative.
The following extracts are from
Circular No. 69:
1. "If the gerrina.tion is about 855,
the seed should be quite satis-
factory to plant at the regular
rates of seeding. If tt is be-
tween 60% and 05% the rate of
seeding should be increased in
proportion to the percent of
kernels that do not grow. If
germination is below 60°'o it
would seem advisable 10 secure
other seed for planting. If this
is impossible thev rate of seeding

OUT ON A LIMB
WITH BILL SMILEY
I'm not much of a one for special
weeks. It's not that 1 don't ap-
prove wholeheartedly of National
Cat 'Week or National Sauerkraut
Week. Though I'd - just .as -soon
tickle a snake's belly, I'll scratch
a cat's_ ear- if 1 .he to, _.and_ I'll ,
choke davown a forkful of sauer-
kraut, though I'd enjoy a Intl ieftfoC
of mouldy moss equally well.
* * * *
It's just that 1 don't become
aware of them until they're all
over. By the time 1 realize it's Na-
tional Fireworks Week, and have
written a hot editorial about it,
were -righFinto Natiftnel Me Pre-
vention Week, and there I am, tell-
ing everybody to, run around with
a match in his hand, sending off
rockets.
* a * *
All this preamble, as any idiot
child could guess 'with one head
tied behind his back, is merely a
crafty way of leading up to my
nomination for a special week. I'm
,fed up with everybody being fed
up with his job, and wishing he,
or she, could do something else,
that looks twice as rosy.
* *, * *
For example, a butcher wants to
Ibe a surgeon because he believes
he was cut out to cut up, there's
more money in it, and anyhow, it's
easier. A dentist think's he'd make
a dandy politician, but he hasn't
got the pull. A street cleaner wants
to join the air force, because he
knows how to pilot. If you are now
whimpering for mercy, I'I !tell you
about Switch witch Jobs Week.
* * _* *
Here's how it ,works. Once a
year, for a full week, each of tis
has a chance to tackle that job we
know we should be doing if an evil
fate hpdn't tossed us into our
present rut. It might be a mite
confusing, but look `at the fun we'll
have. • Best time to - have this
special 'week would be right about
now, when everybody is completely
browned off with winter.
• * * * *
Say you're a hydro linesman,
and you think teachers have it so
much better. Nice warm class-
room, when you're out in a pierc-
ing wind. Snugin bed at night,'
when you're called out to fumble
with a broken line after the sleet
storm. Hours nine to four, and
two months' holidays. Well, all
you do is take over a classroom
during National Switch Jobs Week.
.There'll be no trouble getting a
classroom, because all the Teachers
will have switched jobs with truck
drivers, because Ole latter make
mor6 money, according to the
teachers.
* * * 4
And there'll be no srhortage ,of
truck driving jobs, because all the
truck drivers will the working in
factories, as they're sick of being
away from home so much. And
there'll be no lack of factory jobs,
as all the ordinary hands will yc
moving up into the executive dl`•
(ices, where the work is so much
easier and the money so much bet-
ter. Naturally, there'll be a lnt.ol
executive vacanoies, because all the
bosses are sick of the tension and
responsibility and all they want to
do is have a little farm of their
own, where they enn get back to
the simple life, sleep nights with-
out - sedatives, and conquer their
ulcers.
* • *,
Farms? There'll be lots of them.
The farmers will all bo taking ev r
stores, so they con sit around on
their fat butts all day like the
merchants4 and watch the bene
balance grip*. The Stores will be
available, of course, because all
the merchants will bo away sailing
on the Great Lakes where the

ingly over their bullfighter'; pants:

Personally, I'm going to put in
for a preacher's job during the
grand switch. Work one day and
spend the rest of the week drink-
ing' tea and shooting the breeze
with jolly old ladies who 're only
too glad to help you run the
church. You can't beat that for

Myself,- I think it's the greatest
_idea-sincj ,psy.chlatry_+was--inventod:-
One week's dose of the other fel-
' : s 'job, once a year, would sweep
away all the envy, malice and bore-
dom that afflicts the human race.
* * * *
I can just see them at the end
of their week. The hydro linesman
would be scrambling frantically up
the highest pole he could find. The
teacher would be ready to adopt
that Zippy teen-ager he couldn't
abide. The truck driver would be
hurtling down the highway with a
song in his heart and his foot hard
down on the gas pedal.
* * * ,t
The factory hand would be
crooning over his lathe. The ex-
ecutive would be tossing down'his
tranquilizer pills hilariously. 'The
farmer would kiss the first cow he
saw when he got home. The mer-
chant would hum a nurrry tune
as he gaily punched out the accom-
paniment on the cash register.
* * *
Friend housewi would • be .so
glad to get out of "hat girdle she
had to don --as -a -model; -she'd `sail
in and decorate the whole house.
And yours truly would be just as
overjoyed to get out of that dog -
collar, and be able to swear, look
over the dames, and have a beer
again.
