The Lucknow Sentinel, 1920-01-15, Page 5-Si= OATS SITUATION
.
In those -districts where the Oat crop
was a partial or total failure last sea-
son, farmers are becoming somewhat I
anxious as -to the available Supply of
seed oats. There is •a general tend-
ency on the part of farmers who have
seed oats for sale to withhold them i
until, later in the winter. The move-
ment of seed oats is delayed aisso, be-
cause transportation has been needed
for coal, feed and live stock.
Possibly 400,000 bushe of seed
sats may be required in Ontario and
Quebec, and a much larger quantity in
Southern Alberta and Saskatchewan.
The Canadian Government Seed Pur-
chasing Commission already has sub-
stantial supplies in store in the inter-
ior Terminal , Elevators, and large
ntities of good -quality early-1'yar-
sted oats are still to -come forward.
Alberta and Saskatchewan require -
menta wi11 be given first consideration
from the .seed oats produced • in these
provinces.
The shortage in Ontario and Quebec
may quite easily be metfrom the
large and excellent oat crops in Prince
Edward Island and Eastern Nova Sco-
tia. No. 1 quality Island Banner
seed oats are now being delivered as
far west as Toronto at a price com-
parable with Western seed oats of the
same grade. The price of No. 1 -Seed
Oats delivered in bulk carlots at any
point in Ontario and Quebec should
not exceed the current Fort William
cash price for No. 2 Canada Western
oats • by . more than 35c. per bushel.
Registered and other select stock;
true to variety tnsy be higher in
price.
The Dominion Seed Branch provides
a s3ysstem of grading slid inspection,
so that skippers in either Western Can,
ada or the Maratiiine Provinces -may
make delivery elf aee(inspsetton barids
fleeted *ith their bilis of ladling. Pur-
chasers of seed oats in any • part of
Canada may now buy on the basis of
grade, No. 1 Seed, ete. and, subject to
the delivery of seed inspection certi-
ficates.

DID you ever send a telegram which contained one hundred
words? You perhaps thought it was a pretty long mes-
sage to send by wire. t._ Yet the telegrams received in a
single, day in The Toronto Star cif f ice average about '35,000
words. That i1s►, there would be three hundred and fifty mes-
sages, each averaging a hundred word4. Seventeen telegraph
wires running into a special room in The Star office are required
to transact . the telegraph business of .
Thirty-five thousand' words, the number telegraphed
to The Star every day,' is the number of words in a
good-sized book. Not all of these thirty-five -
thousand words appear in the paper—for one rea-
son, it would take too longto read them. But a
staff of trained editors selects, condenses, and revises
these despatches until, in the finished paper, there is
presented, in the briefest and brightest_ possible form,
all the news of all the world.
• - in developing telegraph and cable services The Star
has been'a pioneer.
it has never been satisfied with the telegraph and
cable services received by it in -common with other
newspapers, excellent though those services -are. It
receives exclusively a leased -wire service of the
United, Press Association, one of the greatest •news-
gathering organizations of the world. it also has
exclusive arrangements with lading newspapers of
America to receive from them their complete cable
services. This alone gives it a staff of exclusive
correspondents which would enable it to give com-
plete world service even if the co-operative news-
paper services went out of business to -morrow.
in addition to all this, it has its own exclusive staff
of telegraph. and special correspondents.
More than half of the 35,00o words telegraphed
.daily to The Star are.EXCLUSiVE TO TWE STAR.
This explains why its news services are regarded as (
unique in Canada.- It is one of the many reasons
why The Star has come to -be recognized as
