Saving Seed of Annual Flowers There isno doubt that 'the best seeds of annual Rowers are those raised by specialists, but some people like to grow their own. In order to get the best seed, vigorous plants with good flowers should be chosen as seed parents, and inferior plants growing nearby should be removed, states Isabella Preston, Division of Horticulture, Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa. One color or variety only should be grown in one part of the garden, so that there is less danger of bees cross-pollinating• the flowers, If seed pods are not forming, a small camel -hair brush should be used to dust the pollen of one good plant on to the stigma of the other, so that there is no doubt of it being pollinated. When the seed pods have have grown to their full size, they gradually turn brown and creek open. If time permits, these pods can be gathered daily, just when they begin to open, and laid in shallow boxes in a dry place until the seeds can be easily shaken out. A piece of muslin should be laid over the boxes to pre. ,1",nl„a,g4s,rv„vmlallnll,,,,nr,llll Illllllll"„ .

If only a few are grown, hand picking is the simplest method to adopt. Large quantities are cleaned by the use of sieves. Seeds of plants like Asters and Zinnias have to be cleaned by ]rand by the amateur. If the daily picking of the seeds is ton much trouble, the plants can be rooted up when most of the seed pods have formed and are beginning to ripen. They are then Laid, on sheets outdoors during the day and brought inside at night until the seed -pods ripen and the seeds can be beaten or shaken out. They must then be clean- ed as described above. After the seeds are cleaned and dried, they should be put in envelopes and care- fully labelled, and be kept in air -tight containers in s cool place until Spring.

H. ]:Ioclgins and Miss Johnston, had a rather unpleasant experience on Sat- urday upon going 10 visit friends in Detroit, when the pulman in which they were sitting was entered by a masked gran, who demanded money frog the passengers. Miss Johnston was relieved of five dollars, but be- fore Mrs. Hodgins got her purse out, the train was nearing Detroit, and the hold-up man made his exit out the rear door. The affair took place at Milwaukee junction, a suburb of De- troit, and the burglar was no doubt a desperate character, as he shot two men, who tried to give the alarm. Several arrests were made and our Seaforth ladies were detained to help in identifying the fellow, but as he was masked and further disguised by having a handkerchief tied over the lower part of his face, the task of re- cognizing him will be rather a diffi- cult one. Mrs. Hodgins and Miss Johnston arrived home on Tuesday, none the worse of their fright, but it is an experience they would not like to have repeated. Crop Conditions in. Ontario The Ontario Department of egr'i- culture give in the September Crop Report an outline of crop conditions, Weather conditions in Ontario dur- ing August were generally favorable for the development and harvesting of crops- As a result spring grains Yielded better than expected from their condition at the end of July, and other crops including tobacco, corn, potatoes, roots and pastures showed considerable improvement during the month.

Above average yields in the counties comprising the crop 9i-- tricts ^lesigeated STi'estern and Bas: - ern Onterio offset the eoneiderably below average yields obtained in Brant, Lincoln, Welland, Durham. Northumberland, Hastings, Peterboro. and Prince Edward. For the province as a whole the average yield per aere of oats is placed at 30.7 bushel[ as compared with 36.8 bushels in 193e and barley at 29.9 Bushels as against 30.6 bushels last year. With the ex- ception of the year 1935 the tote] pro- duction of oats, amounting to R3.114±,. 500 bushels is the highest sh,'e 1930. The total production of barley is es- timated at 15,531,580 bushels as against 16.649.000 bushels in 1938, but the decrease is due more largely to a reduction of 22.000 acres in the area seeded than to reduction in yield, The first estimate of hay and clover crop places the production tet 3,888,200 tons as compared with 4,- 169,100 tons in 1938. In some,of the counties of Southern and Central On- tario the yield was below average but in Western Ontario yields were satis- factory, while in Northern Ontario one of the largest hay crops in years was barvested. The yield per acre Inc Ontario averaged 1.62 tons as against 1.71 tons last year. Second cutting of alfalfa was reported only fair, and it was necessary for some farmers to use the second growth of alfalfa for pasture. The heavy rainfalls at the end of July and during the first part of Aug- ust were cf great benefit to all late crops and pastures. Late Potato Crop The late potato crop in Ontarie bas had a good development of tops. The development of tubers of early plantings has been . good and will give no average yield or better, as there were favorable weather condi- tions. The later plantings, although with good top growth, are at present badly in Deed of moisture far tuber development, the Ontario Dept. of Agriculture report says. insects, par- ticularly leaf hoppers, are causing premature ripening of many ileitis where spraying or dusting has been neglected and lower yields will result. There has been very little late blight on the leaves to this date. The per- centage of wilts and other bacterial diseases is very much less than in very much less than in the 1935 crop. The quality will be mnclt better than of last year if late blight (lees not develop. Northern Ontario probably will harvest a good crop this year. With reports from other provinces of shortage of moisture and present dry conditions in the central part of On- tario, it appears that the Canadian potato crop of 1939 may not be as large as anticipated a few weeks ago.
