Why Canadian Bent. Seed Is Making

It costs more and is worth it, is
the essential story of why Canadian
bent grass seed snakes the finest of
turfs for golf or other greens, ,where
a fine; hardy, durable turf is requir=
ed, Canadian Bent runs from 80 to
75 per cent. pure, with a germination
testing 90 per cent.; not equalled in
purity or vitality by any imported
seed of the type. It is so fine that

' Potato. Selling Campaign
Under auspice, of the Ontario
Grower.' Market Council, a selling
c tnzpaign on potatoes has- been laun-
ched. The Council is urging the
tlwusarele of employers in Ontario to -
purchase ten bags each of home-
grown potatoes, and at -the same time
to induce their employees to do sime
ilarly. The employers are asked to
make arrangements for financial as-
sistance,- if necessary, -for the pur-
chase of these potatoes, and to furn-
ish storage space for thein, An ap-
peal is• also made to the farmer to
register with the Ontario Growers'
Markets Council the following infor-
formation: Number of bags for sale,
the variety of potatoes, and whether
the potatoes will be government in-
spected. 1;y -virtue of• this campaign
it is hoped that the fanners of On-
tario will movie between five and six
million dollars worth of potatoes in
the next few weeks. This should have
a stimulating effect on all lines of
business, in addition to taking a great
load off the farmers' shoulders. It

BEWARE OF RMITAT1OHS
Layers Need a Real Home
While there are many factors that
enter into the management of the
poultry flock, there is nothing that
will have greater influence on the
poultry raiser's success or failure
than the way in which he houses his
flock. Birds of good breeding, no
matter how well fed, will not return
maximum profits unless well housed.
The poultry house is the hen's home,
and to be comfortable and give good
production, the house should have
proper ventilation, insulation and san-
itation; it should have a proper loca-
tion, plenty of light, be dry, and have
ample floor space.
Why Burn Straw Stacks?
When with the use of suitable
chemicals they can be converted in-
to manure the question "Why. burn
straw stacks?" is really pertinent.
Straw is worth something more than
as a bedding material, and not the
least valuable is its use for the mak-
ing of artificial manure. The use of
100 pounds of ammonium sulphate
and 100 lbs. of lime • to each ton of
straw, and this thoroughly soaked
with water produces a manure of dis-
tinct fertilizer value. From three to
six months are requi-eed for the or-
ganic changes to become effective,
and the resultant substance has much
of the appearance and practically the
same value of barnyard manure,

When one considers the high cost of ideal time for working in the bush
as the ground is dry and frozen, and
there is little snow to interfere with
the work.
Many farmers who have been burn
ing coal and saving the woods will be
turning back to the bush for their
fuel because of the depression. In
cutting a bush the owner should con-
sider the future• more than iii most
other farm operations. in all bushes
that have not been heavily pastured
there are trees whose removal would
benefit the remaining stand. These
trees will make excellent firewood
In moat of the bushes selection cut-

ting trees here and then through the
bush. In this way the bush is never
broken as seedlings spring up in the

cades to be sawn by the buzz -saw.
These trees have just reached the

Buy Home -Grown Seed Corn
Geo. R. Paterson, departmental au-,
thority on seed corn, who has just
returned from a trip through South-
western Ontario, is rconvinced that
the purchase of imported seed corn
this year would be not Only unnec-
ce•ssary but most impracticable. He
points out that the crop in Ontario
is one of the largest in history and
the quality is exceptionally good. Mr.
Paterson stresses the vital importance
cf using only northern seal for plant-
ing in a northern climate. The variet-
ies offered in the southwestern see -
tion of Ontario are well-suited to
growing corn for silage, fodder, and
grain feeding purposes both in this
province and Eastern Canada. There
should be no necessity this season of
importing corn for seed purposes.
Dealers may expect a higher stand-
dard of seed this year, inasmuch as
the inspection standards, to be • set in
the near future by the Federal Seed
Branch, are to he considerably more
rigid.
Inquiries as to sources of supplies
may be directed to the following of-
ficials; W, R. Reek, superintendent,
