FARMERS BEWARE what seed gran you
buy to sow this coming Spring. There is a
great deal of grain being offered for sale in
Ontario for feed. A grain shortage has resulted
in a demand for Western Feed Oats. These oats
are being sold for Feed but some farmers may
re -clean them and use part of them for seed.
Germination Tests of samples of such oats
have shown as low percentages as from
20% to 70%.
The Sowing of Such Seed may have dis-
astrous results on the crops.
A survey of the grain held in Ontario would
indicate there is sufficient good seed to be
obtained at home, and all farmers who must
purchase seed grain this year should make
careful selection upon Germination Tests. A
farmer can make a simple and accurate test
at home by sprouting a number of kernels
either between two sheets of dampened blot-
ting paper or in a box of earth. The sample
sprouted must be a fair average of the lot.
