The Seaforth News
SEAFORTH, ONTARIO,
Judging Clover, Grass Seeds
With good quality predominating
in the production of clover and grass
seeds this year, a number of new ex-
hibitors are expected to show at the
Guelph Winter Fair Seed Show,
Nov. 29,'30 and 'Dec. C .L. S. Palmer,
noted seed expert,. gives some timely
advice to prospective exhibitors on
how small seeds should be prepared
kr show purposes.
"Clover' and grass seeds are judged
from the standpoint of freedom from
weed seeds, particularly those prohib-
ed and noxious under the Seeds Act.
They are also judged on freedom
from other crop seeds; germination
and general appearance," said 'Mr.
Palmer in an interview. He stated it
was almost impossible 'to clean out
Dodder, Campion, Chicory, Field
Peppergrass, etc„ in clovers and ti-
mothy unless special cleaning mach-
inery was used. Certain other crop
seeds were hard to remove—white
clover and timothy ,in alsike, red
clover in alfalfa and vice versa.
Therefore, seed containing too large
a percentage of other crop seeds
should not be used for exhibition pur-
poses. •Germination is indicated by
color and lustre, Mr. 'Palmer stated.
Size, ,plumtpness, uniformity in size
and color, color and the lustre of the
seed and freedom from inert matter
(stems, etc,) contribute greatly to
general appearance. Size, plumpness
and uniformity of seed are obtained
and increased by the use of wind and
screens.
For show purposes, the screens
and sieves used should be oversized,
larger than the ones used for com-
mercial cleaning. Red clover, alfalfa
and sweet clover are commercially
cleaned over a 4 by 24, but the show
sample can be improved immeasur-
ably by cleaning over a screen one
size larger, .4 by 22. These over -sized
screeds also help to eliminate many
more weed seeds.
Seed for dhow, should not contain
brown seed, either plump or shrunk-
en. The one indicates that the seed
has been weathered during harvest
and the other that it lacks maturity
or has sprquted, Samples containing
such green seed should not be chosen
as it indicates immaturity. Most
judges of alsike and red clover prefer
the dark .purple type of seed. Tim-
othy, of course, should be silvery in
color and contain as little hulled
seed as possible; alfalfa and sweet
clover should be a honey yellow.
Dullness in seed indicates it has
been weathered during harvest, Mr.
Palmer •declared. Consequently, it has
lost that lustrous shining, 'vital look.
Lustre is an indication of vitality.
While color of seed cannot be im-
proved except by eliminating immat-
ure seeds, lustre sometimes can be
brought 1baak by artificial means,
such as churning the seed in a churn
where a piece of velvet has been
placed over the top with the pile side
turned in. The seed can also be
shined by 'being placed, in a Jong cot-
ton bag and tilted from one end to
the other so that the surface is rob-
bed against the sides of the bag.
Corn For Husking
Corn for husking developed well
this season, and the yield per acre is
placed at 42.7 bushels as against 32.7
bushels in '19317. Total production
amounted to 706,000 bushels and is
2287,000 bushels greater than last
year. 'Most of this crap is grown in
Essex and Kent counties, and corres-
pondents report that husking has
proceeded much more rapidly than
usual this Fall, doe to favorable wea-
ther conditions. Corn is well matured
and reasonably dry for this time of
year.
