GODERI(111 TOWNSHIP
The Goderich Township unit of the
Federation of Agriculture held it's
monthly meeting at the school house
S.S. No. 4, on Thursday, April 9th, at
8:30 p.m.
In the absence of the president, the
vice, Lawrence Stephenson took the
chair.
The minutes of the last meeting
were read and adopted.
A short talk was given on the set
up of the Federation of Agriculture.
Wilmot Haacke gave a comprehen-
sive report on the annual meeting of
the Ontario Federation of Agriculture
held in the King Edward Hotel, To-
ronto, on March 17th and 18th.
Jack Read, C.I°L. representative;
Clinton, gave an interesting report on
the fertilizer subvention explaining
that this was calculated by allowing
.tic per unit (1% plant food per ton)
on nitrogen and 20c per unit on phos-
phate and potash. Minimum amount
on which subvention applies is 500
lbs° and maximum 5 tons per person.
An interesting disclosure was that
the subvention was not an effort to
increase the use of fertilizer as the
supply, particularly of potash, was
limited. The idea was to encourage
the •use of fertilizer on hay, pasture
and grain crops in order to increase
production of milk, cheese and eggs
for Britain and to let the producer of
cash crops—tobacco etc., which are
of Less importance to the war effort
go short of fertilizer should a shor-
tage develop. It is important that all
•applications for subvention be submit-
ted before July 1st as no applications
will be entertainedafter that date.

CERTIFIED SEED
MAKS plans early this year to harvest a bumper crop of smooth,
clean, high-quality potatoes. Good seed is the first require-
ment for an excellent crop ... because only good seed will grow
vigorous plants, plants that can withstand most of the serious
diseases common to potatoes.
Canadian Certified Seed Potatoes are good seed potatoes. By
planting them, many of she losses due to disease will be avoided ° ..
higher..quality, cleaner, smoother, more uniform potatoes than
those grown from ordinary seed stock will be produced.
So, this season, harvest finer potatoes—and more ofthem. Plant Can-
adian Certified Seed. Grow potatoes that will grade Canada No. 1.
