&With a considerable portion oflaet years
big red clover crop still in the farmers'
hands there is a graver risk than usual of
a serious weed spread this season, govern.
ment officials fearing that a large portion
of this will find its way into seed drills
without proper cleaning. Weed seeds in
a bin of clover or grain are not conspicu-
ous and one can easily be fooled. In fact
it was recently estimated that in three
cars of oats shipped to Saskatchewan there
were contained appoximately 23,000,000
sow thistle weeds. The government seed
laborities are the proper place for testing
your seed and do so at infinitesmal cost.

vertisement which will be found elsewhere

A partial solution of the problem of in t•
keting Canada's wheat crop will probably
be found in the growing of less wheat and
more barley this year anyway. Barley is
the great staple grain of the feeder of live-
stock, yielding the biggest returns express-
ed in terms of animal nutriment per acre,
In other words, more actual food is pro-
duced in ancrmal year frim one acre of
harley than from any other grain. There
is in Ontario, too. a steady market at bet'
ter than world prices for a large volume
of good barley for industrial purposes, and
when it comes to the building up of poor
soil, or the reclaiming of weed infested
areas, there is no other grain crop that
can be utilized to such advantage. The
present barley acreage in Ontario is only
about one half of the combined acreage
in fail and spring wheat. but present pros-
pects point to this situation being revers-
ed with profits to the producer and the
province as a whole.
