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.

One of ,the chief difficulties in the egg trade has been to ensure keeping their grade after grading, panticular- ]ty during the summer months. By being kept cool In the registered stations, eggs will retain their grade better than in the past.
