He said: A few weeks ago it was announced from this station that a Crop Improve- ment Association had been formed in Huron County. I am going to explain what the Association is, and what it should mean to the County. I1 is a branch of the Ontario Crop Improvement Association, which has its headquarters at Parliament Build- ings, Toronto, Ontario. The Ontario Association was formed some ten years ago for the purpose of improv- ing crops in the Province of Ontario. The men who sponsored this idea, realized that it was difficult to recom- mend varieties of grain that were suitable for all districts in the prov- ince and that it was necessary to have trial plots set out in a district before definite recommendations could be made. The object of the Association is to encourage the improvement of Field Crops in the County by: (1) ]Encouraging a wider adoption of such varieties as are best suited to the soils and climatic conditions of the County, (2) By developing greater interest in the preparation, use and production of high quality grain and seed. (3) By holding and assisting to hold meetings•for the discussion of matters relating to soil fertility, pasture im- provement, insect and wood control, and other matters relating to crop production and improvement, (4) By encouraging the use and establishment of cleaning and grad- ing centres where seed may he Glean- ed and graded. The cleaning equipment at these stations consists of a good fanning mill, supplied with screens for all Minds of grains and small seeds; a carter disc machine which is capable of making separations, that is, Barley from Oats, etc.; a scourer that re- movessmalloatsfrom the crease of the kernel, and while treating equip- ment for smut is not standard in all plants it is expected that it will be before long, The Agricultural Committee of the County Council, who promoted this organization, had this in mind from the outset, and so far there are 4 new centres to he established in the County. These may not he in operation until late in. 1946, and are located as follows: Geo. Elliott in Lucknow; Mr. Alexander in Londesboro; W. L. Whyte in Seaforth; G. A. Cann in Exeter. The only tivo centres in the OountY that had' been previously established on the basis of the Government sub- sidy were E. T. Pfrinu}er, Bemniller, and G. '.wicker, Crediton. It: rias been the policy of the De- partment to locate these seed cleaning centres, not closer than ten miles apart, so haat operators will have a chance to keep the business on a pay- ing basis, in most instances these plants are operated in conjunction with a chopping mill, or feed and seed business. We are pleased to note that there has been such a keen interest in seed cleaning, which if continued should establish Huron as a source of good seed for our locaa requirements and LwwuuWW1eli WANTED TO BUY Hardwood & Softwood Logs Delivered at Staffa Sawmill WRITE OR PHONE E.

Not that we recommend selling grain off the farm, unless a satisfactory premium is realized for the labor involved in replacing it with mill feeds or other concentrates. I know from talking to many of our farmers that they are interested in registered seed growing, but if facili- ties forcleaning are not almost per- fect, this is rather a difficult project to carry out, on account of the•strict- ness of inspection and the grading that is necessary. I think this isa good time to men- tion one of the questions that, as an Agricultural Representative, I have been asked many, many times: Do the small oats that come from the bottom of the mill make the best seed ? Our answer is No, they do not. We have seen cases where they were planted beside the large plump grain, where there was only a slight differ- ence in the height of the grain and size of head, but continue this pract- ice ractice of selection, and it will result in inferior seed. Let us conclude the answer with repeating the first law of nature, like begets like. Therefore, it pays to sow the large plump grain. Feed the small plump grain to the livestock. The programme committee of your Crop Improvement Association met on Thursday, January 24th. There are five men on the committee: Barry Sturdy, Auburn, chairman; Harvey Timm, Bluevale; John Armstrong, Zurich; Aliin Wainer, Parkhill;Wm. Turnbull, Brussels. Harry Strang, Hensall, as president of the County organization, is auto- matically a member of all sub-com- nrittees. Among a number of subjects discussed the committee decided to have a variety test on Oats and Bar- ley, This test will consist of three varieties of one drill width of each variety in a field where the home grown variety is planted. This will t not entail very much work, and it should provide sufficient seed for a' start in a new variety if considered better than the home grown one. Let me suggest though that aper-, son who attempts this experiment should be prepared to keep the sam- ples separate for the purpose of, checking the yield. If you are interested would you write to Department of Agriculture, Clinton, giving your nacre and ad. dress, lot and concession. The committee plan on only, four or, five of these in the County, so let us_ hear from you as soon as possible. I The varieties of Oats we consider will be Beaver, Ajax, and some new variety. In Barley, Galore, Barboff. However, these will have to be limited according to the seed which is avail.- able for the .experiment. The committee also has in mind some Hybrid corn experiments to determine which variety- can be most satisfactorily grown in Huron Coun-i ty. We have had a number of farmers' asking about what demand may be expected for seed grain that they, have for sale. It looks now as I though the demand should be good. I I realize that the most of. the seed grain sold or exchanged by farmers is done just on the basis of "seed grain." However those who aremak- ing a success of the business go fur- ther and have a grade on their seed, which is known• as a Control Certifi- cate, and gives the number of weed seeds, impurities of all kinds, etc. This Is what you have to do: Submit a representative one pound sample of each lot, which includes, oats, barley, peas, beans and soy- beans. Field corn, 8 ounces; clovers and grasses, 4 ounces, for analysis and grading to production service, 86 Col- lier St., Toronto, Ontario. A charge is made for each, sample. The fee for cereals is '75 cents per sample. For clover and grass seeds $1. ,The payment of fees must be in ad., vance an should Ud for Warded. s be fo Warded in the form of a postal note, money order or cheque. Should any of our listeners be interested and have not got this an- nouncement clear, we would be pleased to forward the information to you on request. J. D.
