SEED GILLAN.
To the 711 il3or of Tun POST,
Sin,—Knowing that farmers generally
are much interested in the above subjects,
permit me to place before your readers
the following :-
8E00 T1:eTtxn.
The work of testing the germinating
power of groin and other agricultural
seeds is now in active progress at the
Central Experimmutal Farm in Ottawa.
Up to the preeeut over 1,000 samples have
been tested and reported on this season,
and on the whole with very gratifying
results, showing a good percoutage of
vitality. There are, however, some
districts in the Dominion from which
eamples have been received of very poor
quality and gtlite unfit for seed. In
some parts of Manitoba the harvest
season of 1801 was very unfavourable
and considerable quantities of grain were
left out in stook or stack all Winter and
threshed in the Spring of 1802. A num-
ber of samples of such grain have been
tested and they show a very low percent•
age of vitality, many of them ranging
from 15 to 10 per cent. only, and are
quite unfit for seed. In some other
parts of the Dominion, and especially in
some sections of Ontario and Quebec,
the weather during the last harvest
period was very wet, and the grain in
the stook was subject to repeated wet-
tings before it oonld be housed, and in
the meantime some of it sprouted. A
larg" proportion of such samples also
show a low degree of germinating power,
and if sown as seed will be likely to
result in poor crop'.
Auy farmers desiring to send further
samples for test should forward them
without delay ; the packages should con.
tain about one ounce each, and they can
be sent to the Experimental Farm free
through the mail. The samples are
tested and reports can usually 3m furnish-
ed in about ten days after the grain is
received.
SEED DTSTBIDDTION.
Last year 10,005 sample bags of
promising sorts of grain, weighing 8 lbs.
each, were sent free through the mail to
9,114 farmers residing in different parts
of the Dominion. This large quantity of
grain, over 25 tons, was all of first
quality and consisted of the most promis•
ing sorts whioh have been tested on the
ssvernl Experimental Farms. By in-
struction of the Hon. Minister of Agri-
culture a similar distribution is now in
progress for this year, and already over
8,000 samples have been sent on', and a
large number are being mailed daily.
The object of this distribution is to plane
in the hands of good farmers in all parts
of the country samples of the best
varieties of oats, barley, wheat, peas, &o,,
so that they may shortly be available for
seed in every district in the country, and
eventually result in the displaoing of
poor, mixed and enfeebled sorts, with
varieties possessed of greater vigor and
fertility. The number of samples sent
to one applicant is limited to two in eaoh
case, and on this basis a very large num•
ber atm still be supplied. with careful
and judicious handling these 8 Ib.
samples will generally produce from one
to three bushels the first year, and at the
end of the second season the grower
usually has Seal enough for a large field.
The advantages resulting from this large
distribution of the best Aorta of grain
obtainable will no doubt in a few years
be generally manifest in an improvement
in the quality and an increase in the
quantity of the average grain crops of
the Dominion. A circular is sent with
each sample whioh the recipients are ex-
pected to fill up and return at the close of
the season, with particulars as to the
character and growth of the grain. The
request is also made that a sample of
not lose than one pound of the product
be returned to the Central Experimental
Farm, so that informatiou may be had
as to the measure of Burmese attending
its growth. Samplee are Bent to eppli•
cants as long as the supply lasts, Let-
ters can he sant to the Experimental
Farm at Ottawa free of posing°.
