Clean Seed
First Step In
Profitable Farming
'May be determining tactor in suc-
cess or failure of farming opera-
tions, says J. D. MeeLeod. Ont.
Dept. of Agriculture,
The sawing at clean seed is the
first step in profitable farming and
may easily he a o'etermining fac-
tor in the emcees or failure of
farming operations, says J. D, Mac-
Leod, seed expert of the Crops,
Seeds and Weeds Branch, Ont,
Dept. of Agniculure, Toronto,
A definite number of bushels per
acre are required in order to pay
for the production of the crap. If
the 'total yield per acre is below
this amount, a direct loss will be the
result. This is true not only of
crop Production but also of all
other industries connected with
Agriculture which are more or leas
deipeadent on the :economical pro -
deletion at field craps,
There are three important fac-
tore in crop ,produotiont -?weather
condition over which fanners have
no corrrol; soil conditions over
which farmers have .partial control
and the condition of the' seed that
is sown over which farmers have
almost complete control. When
one considers this latter tact the
folly of sowing poor seed is appar-
ent, Mr. MacLeod states.
'Clean seed' should be a bright,
plump, rriform sample, pure as to
variety, tree from all foreign
matter including seeds of otter
cultivated crops, diseased grains,
small, shrunken grains, and weed
seeds.
"Ontario has been fortunate in
hawing two good crop years. We do
not know what is in store for us in
1940, -therefore, farmers are urged to
make sure that they have their /940
seeding requirementson hand.
Clean and grade a sufficient amount
of seed for your own• use. Do not
1save this importantwork until your
ins are low,"
"Do, it now." If you have not
snfflcient or suitable seed of your
awn, purchase high quality seed
from your neighbor, "advises Mr.
McLeod.When a welt -chosen and gradenrcple is sawn of a recommended
ariety, one may expect a vigorous
nd uniform germination, strong
lams capable of resisting unitavor-
ble weather conditions and disease,
uniformly ripening crop, hant,asted
ifh a minimum loss and of the best
arketable quality, also cleaner
rats, greater yields, higher grades,
;ter prices and; more profits.
It is •ithe duty of every farmer to,
deavour to -increase crop pre-
u.atIon alt the present time, This
11 anti should be aecamgalished by
creasing yields per acre, hereby
owering, cost of production; rather
n by increasing the total acre -
e under crop, lit costs little
ore to produce a 70 bushel crop of
