Tobacco' Seed
Tobacco seed for the 1930; crop will
be. cleaned and tested free` of charge
bythe Dominion Experimental io
o nStation
at Harrow. Tobacco seed as it is
shelled out usually contains a consid-
erably quantity ;of light and: immat-
ure seed,chaff andother foreign
fo g
matter. Such seed should'be sifted
through suitable screen to remove the
chaff and put through a tobacco seed
cleaning machine to remove the dust
and the light seed. Well cleaned seed
is also less likely to, introduce certain
diseases in the seed bed.
Free Material
Tho Ontario Agricultural and Ex-
perimental Union is prepared this
spring to distribute into every town-
ship and county of the province, mat-
erial for experiments with grains,
potatoes," roots, fodder crops and
fertilizers. The complete list of the
material to be distributed will cover
38 distinct experiments and include
practically all the cultivated field
crops' grown in Ontario. Only the
best seed of outstanding varieties
will be used in this seed distribution.
Any farmer in Ontario is entitled to
receive free of charge, material for.
conducting any of these co-oper-
ative experiments in field 'husbandry
and will .get this in good time for
spring seeding if he applies at an
early date to the secretary of theme

No Let-up on Corn Borer
;A, well -attended gathering of corn
borer inspectors and agricultural re-
presentatives from all parte of W‘st-
ern Ontario was held in London on
Friday, March 14th, with Prof. Cae-
sar, Provincial Entymologist, in
charge. It was emphasized during
the session that the Corn Borer Act
will be just as rigidly enforced dur-
ing the coming summer as in former
years. The fact that some improve-
ment in conditions has been made
does not mean that the fight can be
abated in the least. Farmers should
keep this fact in mind.

ago. In fact Canada was lowest on the

having shipped nearly 25 times as

three times as much as Canada did.

Current Crop Report
'Phe °rep report far the second
week in March indicates a brisk de-
mand for seed in Carleton County.
Dundas and Dufferin are both appre-
hensive regarding the unusual weath-
er conditions. Egg prices in Durham
are at a very low level. Alfalfa and
clover in Halton appear to be favor-
able at the present time while in
Hastings the reverse is true. A good.
supply of red clover seed obtains in
Huron and will replace alfalfa in
many .cases. Plowing has already
started in -Lambton and a great in-
terest in the better cleaning of seed
