(Contributed by Ontario Department cr Agriculture, Toronto.) LJCCESS or failure depends tc -.k a large extent upon the quality of the seed sown. No man can afford to use low-grade clover or grass seed. The risk of seeding down the farm with. noxious weed seeds is too groat. I3igh-grade clover and grass seed is freer from weed seeds and produces_ more healthy, vigorous plants per pound than doss low-grade seed. Impure seed is dear at any price. • Pure seed is the Mir, Chasel''s • ritrl)t PA he elsouald insist on having ft. In the purchase of clover aaad grass seed the following quuiities should be looked for: - 1. Freedom from weed seeds, es- pecially those weed seeds covered by the Seed Control Act. The weed seeds can be properly seen only by spread- ing out the simple of clover or grass seed on a clean white sheet of paper and 'looking carefully over it with the aid of a tripod magnifier or hand lens. No farmer should be without a lens of some kind. Everyone who has to purchase seed should endeavor to become familiar with the common weed seeds and know the standards of purity required by the Seed Con- trol Act for the various grades of clover and grass seed. 2. Freedom from dirt, grit, broken straw and other inert matter. A great many samples of cloverand grass seed contain far too large a percentage of such inert matter. Those buying such seed are paying a high price per pound for dirt. 3. Good size and color. A good sample of seed of any kind should be large, plump, bright, and have the characteristic color well developed. Plumpness, brightness and good color are usually indicative of high germin- ative capacity. 4. High germinative capacity. Good clover or grass seed of any kind should have a high germinative ca- pacity. This cannot be accurately judged by au examination of the seed and can be ascertained only by a germination test. Purchasers of seed can have such tests made for them by sending their seed to the office of the Seed Commissioner, Department of Agriculture, Ottawa. Farmers are reminded that the De- partment of Botany of the Ontario Agricultural College is at their ser- vice at all times for the testing of seed as to purity. In submitting t samples forpuritytest' send at least P one pound of the coarser grains, one ounce of alfalfa or red clover, and half an ounce of alsike or timothy. A full report on samples will be fur- nished, Samples of seed should be carefully packed and addressed with postage prepaid to the Botanical De- partment, Ontario Agricultural Col- lege, Guelph.—Prof. J. E. Howitt, 0. A. College, Guelph. Every Farmer Should Have Spray Calendar, Before giving the reasons why every farmer should have a spray calendar let us state what a spray calendar is. It is the gathering to- gether into a small space—usually just one sheet or page—of all the necessary knowledge for the control of the various ]resects and diseases that attack our fruit trees and bush fruits; so that instead of having to search half a dozen bulletins the farmer can obtain the required in- formation almost at a glance. A spray calendar is therefore a handy refer- ence sheet on the coutrol of insect pests and plant diseases, Everyfarmer should have a spray calendar for the following reasons: - 1. Because it will save him time in finding the necessary information on the control of insects and plant diseases. 2. Because the information given in the spray calendar is more reli- able than he can obtain from his neighbors or any other source. It is the best information that can be ob- tained anywhere. 3. Because the spray calendar will prevent costly mistakes due to slips of memory. 4, Because the spray calendar states definitely when to treat the dif- ferent pests. A week too early or a week too late would in the case of some of our worst insects and dis- eases mean utter failure. There is a good reason for each date of treat- ment given in the calendar, It is not guesswork. 5. Because the spray calendar states definitely the mixture or mix- tures to use in each, case and gives the proper strength. Too strong a mixture would mean loss of money and sometimes burning of the foliage or fruit; too weak a mixture failure to control the pest, 6. Because several spray mix- tures, e,g„ Bordeaux mixture, can be =Ad,a. at;-•] a e.. 93�sna ay,. cbleudar tete haw i.o ialse these, 7. Because by following the diree- •tions given In the spray calendar, almost perfectly clean .fruit and much more of it can be obtained, Always ask for the latest spray calendar, since they are revised from time to time, and new and better methods added in place of the old as soon as they have been sufficiently tested. How can spray calendars be ob- tained? Send a postcard to the De- partment of Agriculture, with a re- quest for ono. Write your name and address clearly, --1,. Causer, 13.S.A„ 0, A. College, Guelph. Tire bistory cf some farmers' as sociations in Ontario has been brief tired tilted with troubles, Others havo built upon the rock and have endur- ed. Why tho difference? Perhaps a very short story will explain the former case. A fat'mere: club, organized by a district repro: sentative, got away apparently to a good start, then halted uncertainly and finally died a lingering death from general debility. When asked to explain the reason the represen- tative gave one—promptly and with :ne:h cosi s, -Lae .iub died hawse the farm- ers didn't want, it. The members wore easily persuaded to orgauize but -never took any real interest In it --they were never really convinced that it was a vitt.' necessity. ":3o far I haven't heard any pro- poaai to revive it either, and I don't intend to atternet to inject any arti eclat stimulation into it. Whoa the farmers in that district are really "sold" to the idea of tho necessity of organization, theu we'll be to a position to do ee ne work." That explains the first cause of most failures. Artificial stimulation serves to carry an invalid through a dangerous pass, but as a steady dict for a healthy body it is foredoomed to failure. A farmers' association must not be an inv slid i when out- side stimetletion f.rts to be g a L, .. is a safe bet its days are numbered.. But many others have succeeded. Work — doing things — is the secret ,of their success. They make every member conscious of the value of or- ganization in the community. The executives are enthusiastic, they have developed progressive policies and they work to make them successful. And work honestly undertaken and wisely directed will always make a club or association successful if it has the right kind of material to work with. In the summer, the club ought not. to be allowed to lose its grip, How about a herd testing scheme— has your club taken that up yet? Perhaps those members needing drainage can have surveys made of their fields, purchase tile co-opera- tively, secure 'a'traction ditcher, and if need be, borrow provincial funds to pay a large part of the cost. End- less ways present themselves to make the farmers' association a real force in every month, Above all, don't for- get the farmers' picnic ---a little fun. makes the work more efficient.— Justus Miller, Ontario Department of etsrlculture, Wight on Airplane Future. The restricted use of airplanes at the present time is due not to the danger of traveling in the air, but to the backwardness of cities in not providing landing places, in the opin- ion of Orville Wright. A statement issued by Mr. Wright is the first gun of a campaign started by inventors and designers of air- craft to boom airplanes for trans- portation work, including the carry- ing of passengers and mail, for sport and for national defence. In Europe, and particularly that part near the front, airplanes are as common as automobiles were a few years ago. Mr. Wright's statement is as fol- lows: "It is most difficult to foretell all of the future of aviation. No doubt many uses will develop which are now entirely unforeseen. The most immediate and practical uses will be for national defence, for sport, for transportation of mail and light merchandise and for passenger service supplementing special trains. "A commercial demand will be quickly created when safe landing places for the present high-speed ma- chines are provided at frequent inter- vals, or when a type of machine is developed which can sanely land on any ordinary ground. "I believe the use of the airplane for sport and commercial uses up to this time has been entirely due to the lack of facilities for safe land- ing at any and all times. "Many of the present military ma- chines can be utilized in mail service between cities where the interlying territory provides frequent landing places. I believe the peace -time use of the airplane will be in proportion to the safety provided." Broom Corn Scarce. The scarcity of broom corn has led to the use of a substitute, In south- ern California the yucca, or Spanish bayonet, as it is familiarly called, thrives. This has been successfully used in manufacturing brooms. An- other species of yucca is good for surgeon splints, and now experiments are under way to see if it may not bo utilized in the making of artificial limbs. Heredity.

Next, the needle -pointer takes up a dozen or so of the wires and rolls them between his thumb and finger, with their ends on a turning grind- stone, first one and then the other steel being ground.
