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°. Wir.
