H. Newman Dominion Cerealist. The custom which prevails. most commonly among farmers is that of simply cleaning up the required amount of 'grain taken from the ordinary bin each successive spring. While seed so obtained may often he satisfactory this is not a practice which should be followed indeliinmtely, Following- this plan in past years has, led• many fanners to the conclu- cion that a change of seed: periodical- ly is desirable. Generally speaking, it is good practice for the average farmer to secure periodically a_.few bushels of Reg? tered Seel of the highest qual ity, obtainable and of the variety' which he has reason to believeis well suited to has farm. Information as to sources of supply of such seed mal' be had from"the district repre- sentative or from an" Experimental- Fainn. Choice of variety is of first im- portance. Thus, in the ease of oats, in areas where stem rust is known to be a factor, the varieties Van- guard `and Ajax are recommended as present as these varieties are re- sistant to this disease. In other areas where leaf rust rather than stens rust is most to be feared; the variety Erban has first choice, es- pecially in Ontario. In 1946, for the first time, seed will • be .available to the general public of a variety capa- ble of resisting both stem rust and the forms of leaf rust which prevail in Eastern 'Canada. This variety was derived from a cross between Vanguard and Erban and has been given the name "Beaver". It was developed • at the Central Experimen- tal Farm, Ottawa. The necessity of securing new seed periodically may' be greatly reduced if farmers would sow their newly adquired registered 'seed in a block' or field by itself. This field should be in a particularly good state of cultivation and reasonably fertile. Care should then be taken to keep the crop from becoming vixed during the threshing and storing operations. Farmers should . be alert to t''e fact that plant breeders are now active in developing new varieties and in having these tested at many places throughout the country. There tests should be carefully watched as it is predicted that varieties better than any now available will soon be offered. Varieties which are particu- larly strong in the straw and which are of better quality than now being grown are in the offing. When these become available a change of seed will then. be in Order. v Due Dates for Ration Coupons Coupons now valid are butter 90 to 105, sugar 40 to. 5'7, preserves 33 to 46..

It is not as well -adapted as oats- to cool seasons, but under such nonditions it does better than Sudan grass. The rate of seeding is" 20 to 30 pounds. per acre and it may be pastured when it is ten inches to one foot in height. The above annual crops may be clover, alfalfa or legume- grass mixtures which often. provides ex- cellent late summer pasture. v War Board Prosecutions; A Vancouver taxi driver used a taxicab to deliver a bottle of whisky. was one of the 200 persons found guilty of offences ander wartime price and rationing regulations in. the last reported week.

Helen Hi • The choice of an annual crop will depend upon its suitability', to the district, its cost of production and the particular• season of year when grazing will be needed. Some of the crops which have been tested as supplementary pastures are fall rye, oats alone or in combinations with Sedan erase and millets. 'Soybeans, sorghums, rape, hale and corn have also been tested. Fall rye seeded as early as August 1, will provide late fall pasture. Tf seeded later than September 1, it will not provide pasture until the follow - jug spring. It should be seedecl at 11.41 or 2 bushels per acre on :wail' prepared land in fair' state of fer- tility. The use of oats as an annual pas- tare is becoming popular, Varieties such as Roxton and Beaver, which are resistant to both stem ,ancl leaf rust, will give excellent grazing if seeded about the middle of May at 21/ to .3 bushels per acre. The date of seeding may be, varied, cleperiding. on the time the pasture is required, Oats maty, be grazed four or 'five weeks after: seeding; or when the chase and co/lection of goods by crop is not more: than one foot, in the SH 0 UT that b::ecam.e a whisper We've looked forward a logting to celebrating the installation of aur millionth telephone. Now the great ' day has coma and, gone, with only a brief press notice to, mark its passing. There are mare important things to do; just now. Resides, we can't forget that vJ 70,000 lurches applicants, are today wanting far teleplsesses, Itmay surprise you that 215,000 more Bell telephones are in service now than when war began. With telephone manufacturers practically 100% on war orders, it was done by (1) using up reserve stocks and (2) reconditioning used equipment. We have thus been able to meet—fully and on time—every essential war demand for tele- phone service. Only materials left over after these needs ars met can be used to look after our "waiting list". These unfilled orders are our constant concern: Filling them calls foradditional wire, and cable, and intricate exchange apparatus, and all the other elements of a complete telephone systema And this, in turn; is just one part of the whole construction program we will undertake once men and materials are available. It means lots of work ahead for every Ball employee, whether at home or in the services, plus additional workers, too. Ute' , io,i w S
