WHAT CERTIFICATION OF SEED
POTATOES MEANS TO CANADA
In 1915, when inspection and cer-
tification of seed potatoes was in-
troduced to Canadians, few antici-
cipated the far reaching ibenefits
which have resulted. Organized and
directed by the Dominion Botanist,
Seed Potato Certification has become
a national factor of which we may
well be proud. The strict, inspection
standards, upon which certification
is based, are largely responsible for
the marked success which has attend-
ed the production of Canadian Seed
Potatoes. It is fortunate for the in-
dustry that at least he originators of
these certification standards foresaw
the needs of the future, for buyers,
home and foreign, have every con-
fidence in our Certified Seed Potat-
oes as shown by the yearly Increase
in their domain. In 1918, a few
samples were introduced into the
United. States, The impression
created was so favourable that in
1920, a few car lots were purchased,
and in 1927, over 1,250,000 bushels
of Seed Potatoes were sent out of
Prince Edward Island alone. In this
small, but wonderful province, fam-
ous for its "Garden of the Gulf
Brand Seed Potatoes," there flour-
ishes a prosperity which is intimate-
ly associated with this industry, In
1.927, fourteen large steamers load-
ed cargoes at Charlottetown, totall-
ing 740,000 bushels. In addition, rail
Aitipments taxed .the transportation
facilities to the limit. In 1928, the
total fall shipments from the Island
amounted to over 880,000 bushels.
By maintaining an extensive inspec-
tion service in 1927, for the com-
paratively small expenditure of
eighty thousand dollars, Canadian
producers of Government Certified
Seed received a revenue of well over
a million dollars.
Hand in hand with the Seed In-
dustry have developed marketing or-
ganizations of which the Prince Ed-
ward Island Potato Growers' Asso-
ciation ranks first.
Further benefits resultng from
seed certification incluce st;yadard-
ization of potato varieties and types,
increased yields, improvement of
seed stock, eliminator and control of
diseases. The Seed Industry is Dom-
inion wide, and its benefits are shar-
ed by many rather than a few, when
1 is known that in 1927, seventy
per cent of Canadian growers enter-
ed for inspection less than five
acres, twenty per cent entered over
five acres, and under ten acres.
GUN LICENSES'
AREA WIDENED
BUT THEY WILL NOT BE RE-
QUIRED FOR ALL PARTS
OF PROVINCE.
Toronto, March 23—Expansion of
areas in Ontario where gun licenses
are necessary was announced by Hon,
Charles McCrea, minister of game
and fisheries, at the season of the ses-
sion of the game and fisheries com-
mittee of the Legislature to -day, while
the department was not yet prepared
to make gun lisccnse compulsory all
over the province, the minister said,
the measure where already put into
effect had proved of such value as an
aid to conservation and control that
further districts in the more popu-
lated areas of Southern Ontario
would be subjected to the gun license
law, The measure would be gradual-
ly expanded till in the end the whole
province would be under the gun
license law. It was pointed out, how-
ever, that a license would not be
necessary for a farmer or his son to
hunt on their own lands. The .gun
license fee would be $2 and the issuer
of licenses would use discretion in
issuing the permits.
The committee recommended the
general prohibition of cariboo hunt-
ing in Ontario, Mr. McCrea said the
few cariboo left in the province
should be conserved. Deer and moose
will still provide hunting in the north
country.
No action was taken on the pro•
posal to change the present dates
of the duck open season—September
15 to December 15. The committee
favoured the proposal that private
owners of fish propagatories might
secure shooting licenses to keep their
preserves free from ducks, which feed
on the young fish

GROW YOUR
OWN PROTEIN
The word "protein" is coming to
be better understood by dairymen
than it once was. It is the chief "talk-
ing point" of these whose business it
is to sell commercial feeds, the value
of which is based largely on "protein
content". It represents sone myst-
erious constituent in feeds which an-
imals must.have before they can be
expected to give the highest returns.
It is generally true that live stock
feeds can be more cheaply grown on
the farm than they can be purchased
outright through trade. It is also
true that the high protein crops can
be successfully grown in Eastern
Canada, are relatively few, and, fur-
thermore will not replace entirely the
concentrated feeds that are offered
on the market. Nevertheless, with
the present price of commercial feeds
together with the small margin of
profit ordinarily obtained by the
farmer from live stock products, it
seems good business to substitute as
much of the high priced commercial
feeds as possible by the home grown
product.
Among the field crops widely
grown in Eastern Canada, peas alone
can be classed as relatively high in
protein. Thist crop averages close to
20 per cent protein. Wheat, oats and
barley are all rather low ni protein,
generally running 9 and 10 per cent.
Since we have, at the present time.
a fairly wide choice of varieties, in
so far as earliness is concerned, dif-
ferent crops that mature at the same
time.
The question of harvesting has al-
ways been against peas as a grain
crop and probably has been partly
responsible for the lack of interest in
this crop. When we consider how-
ever that an early variety of peas
grown with a strong strewed early
wheat or oat variety can be harvest-
ed with a binder and cured as other
straight grain' crops are, it removes
a difficulty that can be appreciated
by all who have grown peas for
grain.
To those who aro paying out reg-
ularly, a substantial part of their
gross income to the feed merchant,
this subject should be a reminder
that the crap. that can be grown on
the farm can be fed more generous-
ly and more economically than pur-
chased feeds,

TO REMOVE "FROZEN” BOLT
When a stud has become "frozen”
in place, remove it by screwing on
two nuts and turning the lower nut
with a wrench. The upper one then
acts as a lock and allows the lower
lone to pull the stud around.
A DANGEROUS PRACTICE.
Never cut out of line to pass 0 car
in front when approaching the brow
of a hill. A car coning from the
opposite direction cannot be seen
until the to of the hill is reached.
Yet both, with accelerator pedal
pressed close to the floor to "take"
the hill, are travelling under full
pressure which merges into speed
as the hill summit is approached.
STORRAGE BATTERY LIFE OF
CAR
The failure of the storage battery
means the failure ,of the entire car
and its neglect will render the engine
as useless as if the "gas" tank were
empty. ,Keep the battery within its
maximum charge at all tines, and
never permit it to stand in a disrharg
ed state. Do not charge or dis-
charge the battery too quickly. Care
must be token to keep the top clean
and before Hulling it with distilled
water, wipe the surface well before
unscrewing the filter caps. It is a
good plan to rub the lead terminals
with a rag on which is some vase -
line, as this will protect them from
being corroded by any acid which
might be spilled. To keep the plate.;
covered with water is most import-
ant.
DON'TS FOR TFIE MOTORIST
Don't use glaring lights,
Don't drive faster than the law
allows.
Don't operate a ear until absolute-
ly competent.
Don't keep up a conversation
while driving.
Don't drive on the wrong side of
the street,
Don't cross a highway until corn-
ing to a full stop.
Don't drink intoxicating liquor or
permit the chauffeur to do so while
operating an automobile.
Don't pass a street car on the left
side or while passengers are board-
, ing it or being discharged.
! DANGER OF AUTO FIRES
A gasoline fire is a serious matter,
and the most dangerous accessory to
a fire is "panic," The average per-
son has such an unreasonable tear of
u gasoline fiance that he loses his
head. He stands aghast; meanwhile
his car is burning up. Grab the near-
est preventive. At least one small
fire extinguisher should be carried
on every car. Always turnoff the
gasoline at the tank to stop feeding
the finales. Ordinarily there is not
more tha ,,two ounces in any float
cltalnber, and this will not last long.
All the parts about the carburetor
are metal, and not easily harmed, It
is well also to use the self-starter to•
turn the engine. This will draw they
flames into the manifold. Quite of-
ten the whole fir„ may be extinguish-
ed, if this is done in time. A greater
danger arises from permitting an ac-
cumulation of inflammable material
in the drip -pan. Once this becomes
fully ignited the u situation requires
prompt and efficient action, The work
of extinguishing should begin right
here, leaving the carburetor till the
last; otherwise the .burning gasoline
at the bottom will continue to ignite
that at the carburetor. Sand is
good, if available, but never throw
'sand on the carburetor or any other
part of the machine. It fails away,
leaving gasoline free to burn, and
also gets into the mechanism, doing
incalculable harm. The old method
of covering the fire with a rug or
carpet is good, but the extinguisher
is better. Finally, be cautioned never
to throw water on burning gasoline.
It is heavier than water, and tends to
spread the rime.
