Canadian growers should not -overleap the fact that quality is the deciding factor and means the difference be- tween profit and loss in growing the crop. By quality is meant freedom Deni weed seeds' and good color, The former may be attained by suing No. 1 alstke on clean fields and by hand pilling and spudding the weeds before the crop' is har- vested. Good color is extremely in portant also, and this results large- ly by harvesting at the right time and permitting as little weathering as possible.
