Late Seed Deliveries
1In recent years deliveries of seed
fnolm wh'ole'sale '!rouses to retail deal-
ers began', 'for, the 'most ,part, ire early
(February. This year, 'however, seed
and feed inspe'c'tors report that up to
Ma'rch '1st very little seed .was to 'be
found' in the retail trade. /,'
This dondiltion is to 1.6e atcounted
for by the :present 'u'n'certainty in'bus-
iness and the 1'ack of 'buying power
among fanners,' wad hence an 'unusual
ca'u'tion exercised by seed dealers to
'buying supp'li'es.
Seed this se'as'on will therefore .he

shorter 'period than usual and conse-1
quen'tly there will not.be as 'favou'r-
a'b'le an op'p'ortunity for eh'arough in-
spection as itt former years. lit is also
'to he expected that there Will Ibe an
increased' tendency for farmers to
trade 'ire seed among themselves and
in so doing it ought not be overlook-
ed that all seed sold for seeding pur-
poses in Canada is required to be sa1'd
on grade.
!For the purpose of grading, •samples
of seed are forwarded' to the nearest
