Agriculture Representative Advises
On Selection of Proper Seed Beans
(By D. H. Miles, aagricnitural rep-
resentative for Huron County)
Sow the best and beat the rest
is a saying that has been carried
down through the ages as far as
the use of good seed is concerned.
This holds true as far as the white
beans are concerned. The gener-
al comments from trade are that
the good farmer and those with a
large acreage are sowing fresh
seed every year.
One should be careful in select-
ing the seed that is to be sown in
the production of a quality crop.
New seed or seed from inspected
fields is as relatively free of dis-
ease as can be obtained The

mer.
Anthracnose is a disease of
beans that has been prevalent over
the past few years. In fact it has
almost put the men out of the
bean business , when they were
sowing some of the old varieties.
The new variety Sanilac, during
the past year has been quite a
boom to farmers. In fact it is
reported by some growers that the
pick during the last year has re-
sulted in a $50 increase per acre
in their crop returns. The sahilac
variety has been relatively free
from anthracnose, probably be-
cause of the bringing of new seed
into the area; a seed that was re-
latively free of anthracnose. Our
farmers should be careful in the
selection of their seed and should
buy registered seed that they know
is clean of antracnose, rust and
blight. The use of old seed over
and over again from the same
fields is liable to carry strains of
the disease that are peculiar to
that particular field and that par-
ticular area.
For those reasons, it is essential
to sew quality seed.
The Sanilac variety has been
the one that has been most preval-
ently sown in Huron County in
1958. The crop did not look as good
as the previously grown variety
of Michelite, but at harvest time
it outyielded the Michhelite var-
iety. Both the Sanilac and the
Michelite are acceptable by the
Canning Trade. The Clipper var-
iety is not as acceptable to the
trade because the bean has a tend-
ency to mush in the processing
and in a dry season they have a
tendency to split.
Farmers would be well advised
to use preferably Sanilac but if
preferred Michelite and u s e
the very best of seed that can be
purchased. On the market this
year is Seed from' Registered No.
1, Second Generation, and some of
it is third generation. There is a
fair amount of good quality seed
available and every farmer should
endeavour to purchase the best,
Steps are being taken up to find
growers of elite stock seed in Hur-
on County so that we may in the
years to come be sure of a supply
of high quality seed.
16 years of Conservative rule have resulted in a growth
of arrogance, of beauracracy and in the denial of many
rights of the individual.
