Pick The Right Seed For Lawns When you reach out for that cheapest package of grass seed for the lawn this year, remember that fewer than 20 grasses of 4,500 species in the world are suitable for Eastern Canadian lawn pur- poses. The reminder is issued by J. H. .Boyce of Forage Crops Division of the Canada Department of Agri- culture who deplores the tendency to go for the cheapest seed. He says the saving of a few cents at the sowing stage can lead to the loss of many dollars in renovation costs at a later date. Recommended for eastern lawns are Kentucky blue grass (both commercial and Merion), rough - stalked blue grass, creeping red fescue, Chewing fescue and some of the bent grasses, notably colon- ial. Reputable seed firms sell mixtures of these durable species and Mr, Boyce estimates that by paying perhaps an average of $10 more to seed a lawn with good seed, considerable cost is saved in later maintenance and renovation. He also urges good soil prepar- ation and fertilization. Mr. and Mrs. Richard Hartman, Windsor, and Michael Hartman, Toronto, were weekend visitors at the home of their mother, Mrs. Theresa Hartman.

Tame bulls are often the ones that kill people, probably because chances aren't taken with those that advertise themselves as dangerous. "A bull is never a safe animal and even those that have been reared as pets occasionally will go berserk," says H. E. Wright, Farm Safety Specialist with the Ontario Department of Agriculture. If you do have to handle your bull, make it a two-man job. One man walks in front and holds a bull staff that has been snapped into a ring. The other man fol- lows and carries one end of a rope that has been tied through the ring and led back between both the front and back legs. Each man is then able to protect the other in case the bull should at- tack. If you can't get the help and must lead the bull by yourself, do it with a staff, not a rope. A charging bull can't be pushed back with a strap or rope. "It's best to keep your bull in a pen fitted with a gate opening into breeding chutes so he doesn't have to be handled at all," adds Wright, the Farm Safety Special- ist. "Portable loading chutes can be pulled away for loading cattle and hogs when not in use at the bull pen." Your local agricultural representative has plans for both portable and fixed loading racks. "Seed The Best" Is Advice Given To Farmers by Department of Agriculture In a crowded winter schedule of farm meetings, in timely and im- portant articles in the farm press, and in a variety of agricultural bulletins, no better advice has been offered to farmers in the spring of the year than the slogan "Seed the Best." The value of good soil, high fertility, good and costly cultivation, and good wea- ther is reduced when anything but the best seed is sown. Wise farmers, before they place an order for their season's supply of fertilizer, will have a soil test report. But no matter what the fertility practices, a crop can be no better than the seed it grows from. And, judging from past seed drill surveys, seed testing is a practice confined largely to the select group of registered seed growers. Good seed, however, is much more than a grade from a seed laboratory. In commercial seeds, this guarantees the germination and purity within the standards IT ALW BET WI UT Agricultural Price Support Assures Ample Supply At Reasoallable Prices!

DEICHERT JAMES BISSETT President Treasurer Secretary required by the grade. But before seed can be considered the best, it must also be the right variety to do the job you intend. This year there is no scarcity of the right varieties. Registered seed grow- ers are offering seed of Garry and Rodney oats, and, in the ear- lier maturing group, Clintland and Shield; and in the hulless variety, Vicar is offered. Brant, York, Herta and Parkland Barley are also available. One of these var- ieties is best for your farm, and any one is better than an unknown or inferior variety. Forage crops are of even great- er importance than cereals in our economy. Here again, certified seed of the right variety is the best seed. Certified seed is avail- able from seed dealers of Vernal, Dupuits and Alfa Alfalfa, LaSalle Red Clover, Climac Timothy, Lin- coln Brome, and Empire and Vik- ing Trefoil. Circular 296, "Field Crop Recommendations for Ont- ario," will help you decide which variety is best for you. Don't handicap yourself with poor seed. Don't take a chance on weed seeds. They're hard to get rid of, and they cost you dollars. Don't take a chance on low ger- mination. It can reduce your crop, leave more room for weeds. Garry and Rodney oats are re- sistant to smut. They are not re- sistant to seedling blight. For full stands, have spring grains treated with a mercurial -type seed disinfectant. Don't take a chance on less than the best variety. Varieties have been developed, tested, and are licensed only when proven super- ior in some characteristics. You may as wellbenefit from this pro- gram. V you have the right variety in your granary at home, check on the purity and germination. You may be surprised. For cereals, send a two -pound sample (fee 75 cents); for grasses and clovers, send a four -ounce sample (fee one dollar), to the seed laboratory in your district. In Eastern Ontario, send it to Plant Products Divis- ion Building, Carling Ave., Ottta- wa; in Western Ontario, (west of Ontario County), to Plant Pro- ducts Division, 86 Collier Street, Toronto. It's still not too late to make a good resolution: "During 1959 I will not sow any seed with purity and germination below the require- ments of Number 1 seed."
