'rrewartha who will now have 125 acres of .i"Iolniesl•ille property: We understand he intends converting it into a. sheep pnd poultryi ranch, thus the probability iS that this dis- trict will even more than ever ba noted for its Thigh class poultry.

Mr. Trcwartlha's ,forty -acre grass farm onthe9th con., formerly known as the Ostrom property, which be has since sold to Mr. George Proc for Who will now have 150 acres in a block. .In each case possession is given next January. Mr. I-[olland had a two -fold object in selling, His boys are "coming up" and thus a larger forth is' needed and he also purposes engaging in the buy- ing and selling of live stook, thus he will in all probability locate nearer the most central of all ship- ping points in Iluron, that is C lin- ton.

By planning well in advance, each month's operations can be carried through more effectively when the time comes. Delays later on, through neglect of this, will mean loss to you and to the Empire. Use the Best Seed This year, for the sake of the Empire, farmers should be exceptionally careful in the selection of seed. Cheap seed is often the dearest. If every Canadian farmer woukl use only the best ye -.sties, and sow on properly cultivated soil, the grain output of Canadian farms would be doubled. Deal only with reliable seedsmen. Write at once to Canadian Department of Agriculture, Ottawa, and to your Proveacial Agricultural De- partment for information as to the best varieties of seed to be used in your particular locality, and use no others. ATTEND YOUR CONFERENCE Clean Your Seed AU grain intended for seed should be thoroughly cleaned and selected to retain only the strong kernels. You can reap only what you sow. It does not pay to sow weeds. Clean seed means larger crops and helps to keep the land clean. When you have your seed grain ready, put it through the cleaner once more. The Farm Labour Problem The Government suggests the forming of an active committee in every town and city, composed of town and country men and women. This com- mittee would find out the sort of help the farmers of their locality need, and get a list of the unem- ployed in their town or city, who are suitable for farm labour. With this information, the coanmittee would be in a good position to get the right man for the right place. Councils, both rural and urban, Boards of Trade and other organizations could advantageously finance such work. Every unemployed man in the town or city who is placed on the farm becomes immediately a producer, instead of a mere consumer and a civic expense. Canadian Department ,of Agriculture, Ottawa, Canada m Test Your Seed Test your seed for vitality, too. Seed is not always as good as it looks. For example, oats, quite normal in appearance and weight, may be so badly damaged by frost that their value for seed is completely - destroyed. If you have any doubt as to the quality of your seed a sample may be sent free to the seed laboratory at Ottawa, or Calgary, for test. But in most cases this simple test will prove sufficient: - Take a saucer and two pieces of blotting paper. Place seed between blotting papers. Keep moist and in a warm place. In a few days, you will be able to see whether the vitality is there. Neglect to test your seed may mean the loss of crop. Increase Your Live Stock Breeding stock are today Canada's most valuable asset. The one outstanding feature of the world's farming is that there will soon be a great shortage of meat supplies. Save your breeding stock. Plan to increase your live stock. Europe and Me United States as well es Canada will pay higher prices for beef, mutton and bacon in the very near future. Do not sacrifice now. Remember that live stock is the only basis for prosperous agriculture. You are farming not speculating. l T MEZ1 Mil MEM Mral flM2i FSE0 EIT No Postage Required.
