Have List of Available Seed Grain, Following Survey of Ontario Department of Agriculture The Ontario Department' of Agri- cultre strongly urges that farmers re- qairing seed should locate supplies early before the best seed is picked up and while prices are still reason- able. Agricultural Representatives in each county and district have a list of available seed grain in Ontario as a result of a comprehensive survey made by the Department through the Agricultural Representatives.. All seeds are listed under the var- iety name, by counties, and are listed for sale on the basis of the grade in- dicated. With an acute labor problem, and the necessity for providing adequate feed supplies, the production of larger yields on limited acreages by good cultivation and the use of strong, vig- orous, plump seed of suitable varieties is of vital importance. Ontario must produce heavier crops this year to meet increased wartime requirements of food, particulary bac- on, cheese, eggs and powdered milk for overseas. This job is one for every Ontario fanner. The basis for heavier production is good seed. That is why the Depart- ment is urging every farmer who has not already arranged for his seed grain to do so immediately. Consult your agricultural represent- ative or an official of your county crop association for sources of supply.
