FARMERS ARE URGED TO OBTAIN SEED NOW Do not leave this important work un­ til next spring, advises J.'D. Mac­ Leod, of Ont. Dept, of Agriculture. In vieWv of the present situation in Europe, it Is of vital importance that every effort be made to increase crop production, particularly crops which are necessary for.. the sustenance of those actively engaged in the defense of the Empire, Says J. D. MacLeod, Crops; Seeds and Weed Branch, Ont. Dept, of Agriculture. Ontario farmer have a duty to per­ form, that of making a special effort to produce more bushels per acre than has been customary in the past. It is possible to do this without in­ creasing materially tile costs of pro­ duction by maintaining arid building up soil fertility; adopting greater ef­ ficiency of implements and labor; bet- - ter cultural practices and by sowings the very best seed obtainable. Farmers are urged to 'make sure-, that they have their 1940 seeding re­ quirements on hand. Clean and grade a sufficient amount of seed for your- own use. Do not leave this important: work until your bins are low. Do It Now. If you have not got sufficient.. or suitable seed of your own, purchase high quality seed’ from your neighbor. This should be done while prices arc- reasonable and before there is a scar­ city. ' The sowing of clean seed is the first- step in profitable farming and the- first step in weed control, Mr. Mac­ Leod declares. Clean seed should be of a bright,, plump, uniform sample, pure as to* variety, free from all foreign matter, including seeds of other cultivated crops, diseased grains, small shrunk­ en grains and weed seeds. - The man who sows weed seeds is his own worst enemy and is laying down a job for his children and his grandchildren. Weeds lower yields; the quality of crops; the market value of crops and the value of farms; they add to the costs of production; they crowd out cultivated crops; they rob the soil of plant food and moisture; they prevent the farmer from follow­ ing a proper rotation; they attract in­ jurious insects and fungus disease. Some weeds and weed seeds are pois­ onous to livestock. Raw Meat In The Home Uncooked meat should not be kept in the home more than a day" unless in a refrigerator below 50 degrees F., or cured by an antiseptic such as salt or smoke. Meat requires careful stor­ age. Bad refrigeration and too close covering contribute to spoilage. When meat arrives ih the home, the wrap­ per should be removed and the meat placed on a platter without riiore cov­ er than 'a piepe of waxed paper lai<t loosely over. When the. meat dries a little on the surface, the growth of bacteria is checked. “Dad, the barometer has fallen.” “Very much?” “About five feet.” Round Trip Bargain Fares OCTOBER 27 - 28 From WINGHAM To Stations Oshawa and east to Cornwall inclusive* Uxbridge, Lind­ say, PeterbOro*.
