As a result of the' campaign. to gr..ovV alfalfa, inquiries are reported by Peel County ;from all sections of old Ontario, and it, is stated that owing to the 'abundance and low prices of alfalfa seed this year, the farmers are going to seed: down more than the normal acreage of this legume, !Perth County reports a number of farmers busy cleaing seed grain and predicts a good demand .for seed of the 1930 crop which was of very good quality.

The Seed Situation As 'the seeding season approaches tate domestic movement of clover and grass seeds naturally increases. In the past month the movement from wholesale houses to dealers commen- ced and there has been a lot of seed. bought' from growers, particularly of red clover and ,alfalfa in' Ontario, but also substantial quantities of other seeds. Theexport .market in Great Britain for red clover and alsike has continued active longer' than was ex- pected and has absorbed large quant- ities of these seeds. However, there are still substantial supplies of red clover in growers' hands in the prov- inces of Quebec, Ontario and British Columbia'C'arlot quantities are still awaiting buyers in a number of dist- zinc LN OPERA HOUSE DUBLIN THURSDAY 'EVENING March 17 TONY FARR'S BAND Tickets 75 cents per couple.

Further- more, it must be clearly unders'to'od that fertilizers should be thought ;of as a supplement to •farmyard manure crop residues and good cultivation. Branded Rutabagas "A premium of over 40 per cent., at prevailing prices, is being paid the Ontario farmer for branded rutaba- gas," stated J. A, Carroll, Secretary, ,Ontario Marketing Board. On being asked to explain this en- couraging contrition, he said "In the past, Ontario growers have exported to the United States annually, as any as 4,000` carloads of rut'a'bagas, r winter table turnips, " Un'til' rec- ntly, however, few of these growers, and shippers, have given any' real thought to • developing trade repres- nted by our own larger consuming entres. 'H'aving neglected' this mar - et, shippers offered 'the suggestion hat nearby farmers, and market gar- eners were taking care of the limited emend. "Now bad rutabagas are like bad eggs. 'They destroy markets' and li- mit consumption. So,' with the idea of satisfying themselves that the home markets could be developed. provided that rutabagas.of a known high quality 'were put within the reach of the,consumer, :members of the Ontario Marketing Board devel- oped a plan. Explaining the major feature of the plan, .lir. Carroll said that each rutabaga is branded individ- ually. Hitherto, only the bags bore any trade mark or grade name. ail most cases the consumer, purchasing only one or two rutaibagast did' not have the opportunity to examine .dis- tinguishing marks on the bags, and therefore bad no check on the' quality purchased." Marketing of branded rutabagas commenced last November when a chain of retail stores agreed to ac- cept a trial shipment. 'Since that time this particular chain has reported an encouraging increase in the safe of rutabagas and other retail organiza- tions are now handling this graded product. One - group. of retail stores is now selling branded rutabagas at the rate of ap.proxiina•tely 250 bushels a week, it is reported. In addition to this, experimental shipments have been sena to the New York City markets, and reports 'have been. very satisfactory. Within .the past few .weeks, Ontario branded:rut- abagas have been tried, in a•Montreal chain of stores. That the quality was found satisfactory, is proved by 'the fact;. that another carload of branded rutabagas' left Ontario for Montreal last week `;The farrier who is. sup- plying this special trade,"Mr. Carroll said,, "is receiving a premium of ap- proaiimately 40 per cent at the ship- ping point. "I' wish to point out Par- ticularly," he went on, "that this echoes not represent true premium which would be paid the grower, if all of his product was of a quality sufficiently high to, snake the 'branded .grade. "'Farmers are very .pleased With the result of the plan, anare enquiring ianto'ethe possibility of 'expanding this trade. 'They express themselves as prepared to !be more careful in, their cultural practices,,in 'order, that a greater' proportion of 'their rutlragas will make the branded grade. m riots, Large amounts of alfalfa seed o have been. 'bought from growers re- e cently in Ontario, presumably in an- a d tictpation of .a good demand from the present alfalfa campaign_ ,conducted by the Department. Better seed pays 'big dividends in crop improvement, Production may he increased, from'' 10 to 14 pounds per bushel and from 10 to 14 bushels per acre by sowing only large, plump seed. The farmer will find it a pay- ing ay ing proposition to get the old fanning mill out of the store -house, fit it up properly with screens and make a genuine clean-up this spring. How To Keep Milk Sour little words tell the ,whole story about how to keep milk in pro per shape for use in the route. These are "Clean, Cool, and Covered." This is one o'f the fundamental rules of home -economics. For best results milk ,should be served at the end of the meal, and ' it 'should, always be sipped slowly. `'Milk is the ideal food f for children oall ages because of is high quality and quantity of pro- eiti, its abundance of calcium, its cadily assimilable phosphorus con- ent, its iron and its easily diges'te'd ht' and sugar. Ontario farmers annually, lose hun- dreds of dollars:from parasites in, sheep and hogs. Dr. L. S.
