As Ye Sow, So Shall To Reap
This is the season of the year when
farmers are pretty well tied down to
a twice-a-day choring schedule, with
the in between jobs of stable cleaning,
wood cutting and snow shovelling.
The winter season ties the farmer to
his home a little closer, and gives him
more work to do, more responsibilities.
The cattle have to be stable fed, which
is one of the main reasons why New
Zealand dairy products can be bought
for less than ours. New Zealand has
a year around pasture season, which
greatly cuts down on the costs of live
stock feeds. Pasture and hay are the
cheapest sources of feed available and
summer milk production is usually
higher and costs less per hundred
than the winter flow.
However, farmers who have winter
chores to do, usually find that another
job crops up about this time of year,
one that we should vyitch quite close
ly. That is the job of cleaning and
treating of the seed, that you’ll he
needing when the warm spring sun
has melted the snow, and the grass
and 'dandelions start to colour the
hillsides. As spring grows closer,
you’ll have less and less time for this
important job, so how about taking a
few afternoons right away and getting
at this job of cleaning the seed.
As a boy at home, Saturday after
noon usually meant a turn at
handle of the fanning mill, or on
handle of the shovel, high up in
bin, but the innovation of hydro
changed things'in many ways. Now,
one man can run the seed grain
through the mill without too much
trouble. The changes in the times
have also brought many changes in
the methods of cleaning and treating
seed, particularly in the treating
methods. There are many new chemi
Cais, many hew ideas, but they ail re
quire great care and caution. Actually,
I sometimes wonder if it pays the
farmer to clean his own seed at all.
Perhaps if we were to look closer
into the samples to be found in some
of the seed drill boxes in the spring,
we would be unanimous in this opin
ion. While at the Ontario Soil and
Crop Improvement Convention in
Toronto recently, I heard the results
of the seed drill survey given. This
survey is conducted by crops, seeds
and weeds branch fieldmen, who drive
along the concession taking seed
samples-from the drill boxes of farm
ers who are working in the seeding
operation. These samples are care
fully tabulated and sent away for an
alysis. Some of them, extreme cases,
have shown thousands of weed seeds
to the bushel of grain, even after they
were supposed to have been cleaned.
The samples of small seeds, (grasses
and clovers), which are naturally
harder to' clean, shewed even more
alarming weed seed content.
On second thought, maybe it would
be a good idea to have your seed
cleaned by a man who knows his busi
ness and who has the proper equip
ment. Either that or buy registered or
commercial seed, from a qualified
seed grower, every spring. No matter
how hard you try to kill the weeds in
your cultivation before seeding, if you
plant another crop with the grain,
you won’t be making much headway.
Good clean seed, properly treated for
the control of pests and diseases, will
yield much greater returns. This is
the season to think about this topic,
so how about it?

Large Increase in
Rutabaga Export
Sales of Ontario rutabagas to the
United States are up 27.9% this year
as compared with the same period a
year ago, reports the Field Crops
Branch of” the Ontario Department
of Agriculture. The increase to date
amounts to 258,096 bushels with 64.7%
of the turnips exported being waxed.
Domestic sales of rutabagas are
considered to exceed the amount ex
ported. Though exact figures for local
markets are more difficult to obtain,
suppliers report a marked increase in
sales through retail food outlets.
Turnips (or rutabagas) have always
been popular in cold weather, but of
late, housewives and caterers have
been using them regularly to help pro
vide appetizing nutritious; low dost
meals. Science has improved the qual
ity of turnips greatly and experiments
have proved that with proper cooking
there is no strong flavor or odor.
Turnips should be cooked quickly In
a small amount of boiling water. This
method also retains the vitamin C
content which is so important to
health. Raw turnips have now become
popular ingredients of salads and are
frequently served as “turnip sticks’*.
The Nutrition Section of the Wo
men’s Institute Branch has recently
revised their excellent booklet of re
cipes entitled “The Delectable Can
adian Rutabaga”, Circular No. 77.
This booklet may be obtained free of
charge from the Statistics and Publi
cations Branch of the Ontario De
partment of Agriculture, Room 4430,
