The questions that bother
many farmers are — what price
seed? Should I buy new seed?
Will my neighbor’s grain yield
more for me than my own? These
are just a few.
Take first things first. Were
you satisfied with your varieties
in relation to yield last year?
You were? You’ve got ample
feed and enough for seed, too?
Then from our experience —'
Don’t buy if germination is high.
Clean it good and by good, we
mean extra good. Pin oats do
not lead to high yields. Weed
seeds are plentiful enough with
out planting them. Besides you
are more than likely going to
harvest just the one crop off
the field this year and it might
as well be the best possible. Many
leading agriculturists are con
vinced that any crop that does
not yield a ton of feed iier acre
is not profitable. Remember that
is approximately fiO bushels to
the acre “oat weight".
The question when to buy or
change seed is one that is up
to the individual farmer. The old
idea that seed “runs out" has
been proven a myth. A seed
variety that remains true to type
does not run out. As proof we
offer for your consideration the
fact that we have grown “Erban”
oats that have been registered up
to the tenth generation, They had
been kept pure and were true
type oat. We grew these oats for
four years and never did they
fail to register. Perhaps if it
were possible to trace them
through the various dealers’
hands it is possible to find oats
still being registered from stock
that now must be well along to
the fifteenth generation. As ‘for
•yield—in our case, we were seal
ing more seed per acre in the
end than when we obtained the
seed.
The Canada Seed Act is a
wonderful bit of legislation. It
protects you the farmer as a
customer from unscrupulous deal
ers and growers. A dealer or
grower who has good seed to sell
is never reluctant to produce
this certificate. And by this same
act he is required to obtain a
grade certificate before advertis
ing or offering any seed for sale,
whether it is — coarse grains,
grass or clover seed, corn, tur
nip or even garden seeds. Re
member all seed offered for sale
must be government graded.
Don’t take a chance, buy a gov
ernment sealed bag. It was seal
ed for your protection,
DID YOU KNOW?
If you don’t know seed—-know
your seedman. ,

•Buy seed? Yes, we agree with
this if — (I) your own grain
contains noxious weed seeds; (2)
4 The price of registered seed is
anywhere close to the price of
your own grain ready to put in
the drill. The cost of your grain
must be made up of the follow
ing: cost of feed to replace
same plus cost of cleaning and
treating. Don’t forget to add the
cost of a good sack which goes
with the grain you buy.
There are no bargains in buy-
iny seed grain. The cheapest
seed is the highest grade seed
available. This is true not only
in coarse grains but also in the
small seeds. Very few farmers
today are competent enough
judges of small seeds to warrant
■» the risk of buying anything but
No. 1 seed. This is also applic
able to coarse grains. If you
have any doubts about the seed
you are buying ask to see Die
certificate. If the dealer cannot
produce this certificate, you are
justified in refusing to buy' it
until this certificate or a govern
ment approved copy is available
for your inspection.
Huron County
Crop Report
By G. W. MONTGOMERY
Most of the snow disappeared
with the heavy rains earlier in
the week.
Farmers report light runs of
sap to date.
All classes of livestock appear
to be in good condition with
ample feed supply still left in
storage.
Junior Farmers in the county
feel highly honored that one of
their members in the person of
Robert Allan, of Brucefield,% has
been selected, as a member of
the overseas delegation.
4JH organization meetings
have been well attended and in
dications point to a much larger
enrolment in the county this year.
Banquet Closes
Fairfield Forum
As a fitting close to a very
successful season, members of
Fairfield Farm Forum and their
guests, numbering 40, enjoyed a
hot turkey banquet in the Credi
ton Community Centre, served by
the W.A. of Crediton United
Church.
■Guest speaker, Gerry Mont
gomery, Ag Rep for Huron, took
as his theme “The Eternal Tri
angle”. He discussed the import
ance to the farmer of soil, self
and soul, which he illustrated
by a triangle with soil as the
base. He emphasized that soil is
basic and should be conserved.
The Soil Conservation Authority
of Ontario works toward that
goal. 4-H clubs are typical of
the effort to improve and direct
self, and a spiritual life is need
ed to bind all together and make
life complete.

Here's a powerful Diesel that
defies all comparison for com
fort, convenience, and ease of
handling in a big tractor.
See how easy it is to step on
and off... look at its deep-cushion seat..
its extra-large platform ... its convenient
controls ... its clean-cut design. Extreme
ease of starting and steering... hydraulic
Powr-Trol... direct engine-driven power
shaft... hand clutch—-these are just a few
of its many operating advantages.
You bet you’ll like to drive it—more
than any other tractor you’ve ever had your
hands on. But the biggest thrill of all is in
owning it. Then is when all your worries—about
adequate power to handle big equipment in
your tough conditions, about getting through
in time—will literally melt away. Then is when
i
you’M know the true meaning of John Deere
two-cylinder Diesel performance and economy.
Then is when you'll say, “I wouldn’t give it
up at any price if I couldn’t get another,”
