This is NATIONAL SERVICE
Are YOU doing your part?
LL EYES turn now to
the Canadian Farmer,
for he can render the
Empire SPECIAL SERVICE
in this sternest yeah° of t�.. e
war.
But—our farms are badly under-
manned -25,000 men are needed On
the land.
With insufficient help, the Man on
the Land fights an uphill fight to
meet the pressing need for Food.
ITY and T WN
can help.
Municipal Councils, Churches and
Schools, and other organizations,
both of men and women; can render
National Service by directing all
available labour to the Land.
Farmers themselves can exchange
labour. School boys can assist.
Were you raised on a farm ? Can you
drive a team? Can you handle fork
or hoe? If you can't fight, you can
produce. Spend the Summer work-
ing on the Farm.
Let every man, woman and child in
the Dominion who has access to
Land, no smatter how small the plot,
make it produce Food in 1917.

IMPORTANCE OF SECURING
VIGOROUS POTATO SEED
SIOCK
Experiments conducted at the
.L`omrn:on Experimen.a1 Station,
Kentvhle, N. S. with eight lots
of Gannet Chili potatoes secured
rrom different growers in 1915
show A variation in yield of from,
;:t3 bushels to 22,4) busneis per acre,
or a difference of 204 bushels per
acre in yield when grown under
uniform conditions. Seed from
these eight lots planted in 1916
al.fed from 68 bushels to 212 bush-
els per acre, a .difference of 144
bushels per acre. The respective
positions of the difSerent lots were
charge t very little in the second
eel'', bur the lowest yielding
inereesc f .s'omewhat and the
higher yield was not so great.
Seed from fifteen others of this
variety was planted in 1916 andthe
lowest yield obtained was 158 bush-
els .and the highest 273 bushels per
acre, a difference in favour of the
best over the poorest of 120 bush-
els per acre,
Ten lots of pure stock of Green
Mountain from different growers
ranging from 180% bushels per
acre to 313 bushels/ per acre, a
difference ,of 132'% bushels. Sev-
enteen lots of Irish Cobbler ran-
ged from 93 bushels/ per acre as
the poorer:t to 235 bushels as the
best, a difference in favor of the
best yielding Amin of 142 bushels.
This would show that there may
be as great a difference between
potatoes of the elanve variety as
there is between potatoes of dif-
ferent varieties, and that it is wise
to secure stock from farms which,
have hacl high yielding crops.
Because the Green Mountain )rasa
failed giving a crop on a .certain
farm. is not proof that this vara
iety will not' yield well there; it
may have been i&ue to low viz
ality in the seed sl tock. Such re-
versio'n .in yield may have been
ue to diseases, or 'adverse soli
r climatic co'ndttions which ,af-
ected the crop at iiome time end
t may be bettee to discard the
took entirely rr� 'rc
ly than to try to bring
t Sep to its former vitality by eel.l
action.
