CERTIFIED SEED
GOOD seed is the first requirement for an excellent
crop because only good seed will grow vigorous
and productive plants.
Canadian Certified Seed Potatoes are good seed potatoes:
By planting them, higher -quality, cleaner, smoother,
more uniform potatoes than those grown from ordinary
seed stock will be produced.
' So, this season, to harvest finer potatoes - and more of
them, plant Canadian Certified Seed.
Be sure to select the variety most suitable for your locality.
'Ask the District Government Inspector, Plant .Protection
Division, for full information and list of nearest distri-
butors.

TAKING FLASH PICTURES
With flash, shots such as this are quick and sure—and'your subjects •n
don't have to'pose In bright light.
A NN turned up with a camera
1"' problem the other night. She
had been trying to take some snap-
shots of the pup—a lively little
rascal—and he wouldn't stay put.
Id fact, the warmth from the phbto
lamps made hint even more skittish
than usual, and by the time she
was ready to shoot, he was usually
out' aif sight.
"Ali right," I told her, "we'll fix
him,•We'li•use a flash bulb, and get
lira down'on film' before he even
kiiowe it," So, we arranged things,
and in about three minutes she had
just the •picture she wanted,
