case of using old seed, it is good Tarac-,.

can; asily be done with a snail! box of
sand lit which ;o or 'too', grains can
be planted and the results observed.
This is good practice with any source
of seed whether old• or new, A. little
moisture and, reasonable; warmth' are
all the other precautions needed,
As with live stock, rigorous selec-
tion ,pays" large dividends. The fol-
lowing table is taken from 13ulletin:

ety. Farmers are sometimes enthused
over these: rose tinted picturesor
stories,, to such an extent: that they
will.ar

common., seeds at fabulous 'prices
.
Does the 'farmer, who listen's to these
stories of . one hundred bugxels: or
thereabouts to theacre, ever stop to
consider the 'p,sissibilities . of his land
producing such pro.digueus crops:
Will our land, which has been formed

uce these crop's?;"We think. not. E: -
ept in very exceptional circum taz ces

ields. Then experiments at the Ont-
rio Agricultural Colege, prove that
rider good 'farm ^ practice, the' best
eed you can use is that produced an
your ow,tt farm. Give your own seed
of the tried- and tested varieties, a
chance .
A chance means a liberal use of the
miming mill and reasonable cultural
ethods and fertilizers. Under such
ircuitt;tances yottr own seed will, we
hink, hold its own with any foreign
igh priced seed. H your own is not
p to the standard, possibly you call
ecure some froyour neighbor.

vicious. It took up its stand beside a C
