The import- ance of sowing only the very best and cleanest seed obtainable was stressed by every speaker as a very important factor' in successful and profitable farming and in the war against noxi- ous weeds. There was a good exhibit of seeds and grains and the quality of the exhibit was freely commented on by the judges and speakers. It was pointed out that the Richmond Hill Seed show was one of the oldest in the province of Ontario and that the stan- dard set here through the years was a very creditable one. W.H. Legge, president of the Rich- mond Hill Agricultural Society pre- sided and in his opening remarks wel- comed the farmers who were present and commended the idea and aims of the Seed Show as worthy of the supâ€" port . of all interested in promoting Agriculture. Mr. E.K. Hampson, of Kemptville Experimental Farm was the first speaker and his usual interesting and pleasing manner gave a very interest- ing talk on the importance of clean seed and also some interesting facts regarding the operation of the provin- cial farm at Kemptville. He empha- sized the advantages of a proper Seed Cleaning plant and pointed out the many advantages resulting in commu- nities served by such a machine and expressed delight that Mr. G.H. Dun- can was installing such a plant at the yard at Langstaff and he prophesied that it would be a boon to the farmers of this district. He drew attention to the weed menace which was facing- the province and urged that farmers co- operate With the department in its fight against the evil and support in every possible the better seed cam- paign to be carried on this year. “Where weeds flourish, profits disap- pear” he said. If weeds were ever to be controlled farmers must stop sowâ€" ing seed every year which contains thousands of weed seeds. There is not a weed which cannot be controlled by the proper methods he said and he recalled many of the experiences at the experimental farm and outlined the system of crop rotation used there. Professor Squirrel of the O.A.C., Guelph who judges the grain gave a very interesting talk, complimenting the winners of the various prizes and commenting on the placings made of the various entries. Seed improve- ment was a very important factor in crop improvement, he said and gave EXCELLENT ADDRESSES FEATURE OF ANNUAL SEED FAIR ” Know What You Sow " Urgent Message To Farmers of This Districtâ€"Fine Exhibit of Seed Grain. “That will be fine. Just ask for our number, 124, so I’ll get the cheaper Station-to- Station rate. In a couple of days I’ll call up again, in the evening, so I can have a few words with the children, too. The Evening Rate after 8.30 is really very low.” “Every Bell Telephone is a Long Distance Station." “I’ll place the call for you while you are taking 'off your wraps.” “I must call John by Long Distance and let him know I got here all right. Then neither of us will be Worry- ing. It’s wonderful to be able to visit you like this, and yet keep as close touch with home as if I were there. \Vhat must it have been like in the old days, before Long Distance made it possible?” So farâ€" and yet so near!

Mr. Wright of the Dominion Seed Branch Toronto, said that great care should be taken in the selection of grass seeds by farmers because this was one of the greatest mediums for carrying weeds seeds. He strongly recommended that all should be tested before sowing and urged that farmers take advantage of the free test offer of his department. He pointed out that the law compelled the grading of all seed sold but the selling over the line fence could not be checked and that it was up to the farmer to take sufficient interest in what he was sow- ing to have it tested. All samples sent to the Seed Branch, Station F, Toronto 5 would be tested free of charge and the result made knOWn to the farmer in a few days.
