By planning well in advance, each, month's operations can be carried through more effectively when the time. comes. Delays later on, through neglect of this, will mean loss to you and to the Empire. Use the Best Seed This year, for the sake of the Empire, farmers should be exceptionally careful in the selection of seed. Cheap seed is often the dearest. If every Canadian farmer would use only the best varieties, and sow on properly cultivated soil, the grain output of Canadian farms would be doubled. Deal only with reliable seedsmen. Write at once to Canadian Department of Agriculture, Ottawa, and to your Provincial Agricultural De- partment for information as to t #he best varieties o ,seed teeb used in your particular locality, and use no others. ATTEND YOUR CONFERENCE Clean Your Seed All. grain intended for seed should be thoroughly cleaned and selected to retain only the strong kernels: You can reap only what you sow. It does not pay to sow weeds, Clean seed means larger crops and helps to keep the land clean. 'When,•ypu<rye,your see4 grain, ready, putet:thsoughthe .cleaner once more. • The Farm Labour Problem The Government suggests the forming of an active committee in every town and city, composed of town and country men and women. This com- mittee would find out the sort of help the farmers of their locality need, and get a list of the unem- ployed in their town or city, who are suitable for farm labour. With this information, the committee would be in a good position to get the right man for the right place. Councils, bout rural and urban, Boards of Trade and other organizations could advantageously finance such work. Every unemployed man in the town or city who is placed on the farm becomes immediately a producer, instead of a mere consumer and a civic expense. Canadian Department ©f Agriculture, Ottawa, Canada to the farmer. Then I ask why do the'authorit:es not !secure these men and feed and train them `for active service es -here they *can work- and earn something. Why do men who know ncthing of what they are talk- ing about keep harping. at the rural districts to send .the:tr Men as Can- adian soldier when one experienced hand on the farm isworth more to his father or boss than a dozen town chaps whether theyare,Canadian or English if they know nothing or farm labor. In these days, Mr. Editor farming is run on a .scientifio plan and cultivation and feeding must be properly done or else the results will be away below the expectation. Now 'Mr. Editor let me say in conclusion that I am an Englishman by birth, being born and reared in Old London, England, but for. 22 years have been farming in Canada.

By planning well in advance, each, month's operations can be carried through more effectively when the time. comes. Delays later on, through neglect of this, will mean loss to you and to the Empire. Use the Best Seed This year, for the sake of the Empire, farmers should be exceptionally careful in the selection of seed. Cheap seed is often the dearest. If every Canadian farmer would use only the best varieties, and sow on properly cultivated soil, the grain output of Canadian farms would be doubled. Deal only with reliable seedsmen. Write at once to Canadian Department of Agriculture, Ottawa, and to your Provincial Agricultural De- partment for information as to t #he best varieties o ,seed teeb used in your particular locality, and use no others. ATTEND YOUR CONFERENCE Clean Your Seed All. grain intended for seed should be thoroughly cleaned and selected to retain only the strong kernels: You can reap only what you sow. It does not pay to sow weeds, Clean seed means larger crops and helps to keep the land clean. 'When,•ypu<rye,your see4 grain, ready, putet:thsoughthe .cleaner once more. • The Farm Labour Problem The Government suggests the forming of an active committee in every town and city, composed of town and country men and women. This com- mittee would find out the sort of help the farmers of their locality need, and get a list of the unem- ployed in their town or city, who are suitable for farm labour. With this information, the committee would be in a good position to get the right man for the right place. Councils, bout rural and urban, Boards of Trade and other organizations could advantageously finance such work. Every unemployed man in the town or city who is placed on the farm becomes immediately a producer, instead of a mere consumer and a civic expense. Canadian Department ©f Agriculture, Ottawa, Canada to the farmer. Then I ask why do the'authorit:es not !secure these men and feed and train them `for active service es -here they *can work- and earn something. Why do men who know ncthing of what they are talk- ing about keep harping. at the rural districts to send .the:tr Men as Can- adian soldier when one experienced hand on the farm isworth more to his father or boss than a dozen town chaps whether theyare,Canadian or English if they know nothing or farm labor. In these days, Mr. Editor farming is run on a .scientifio plan and cultivation and feeding must be properly done or else the results will be away below the expectation.
