Ottawa, to test out these new varieties on drill width plots and the very striking differences were pointed out by the Agricultural Representative W. M. Cockburn. On the Snively Farm at Lake Wil- cox, operated by Geo. I. Smith, the new and yet. Lin-named 601, the Rox- ton and Vicland (a U.S.A. variety) were all standing up in this very bad leaf rust area. The new Beaver and Ajax were badly broken down and the Erban also damaged to some extent. About 25 local farmers at- tended in spite of the rain on Tues- day evening. On Wednesday evening, 50 neigh- bours, meeting at Wm. Cameron‘s, south of Woodbridge, round that the 601 and Roxton were the only vari- eties standing, there being no Vic- land planted here. The farmers pre- sent however, reported that the Et- ban was showing fair resistance to the leaf rust. At Pefferlaw, the plots on the farm of Albert Weir were all standing but as with the other tests, the 601 was very clean in the straw. On all farms, the Roxton was standing but show- ing some rust. However, this is a rather late variety with very long straw and does not appeal to the York County farmers, particularly on heavy land. Following the field demonstra- tions, Mr. Cockburn and his Assist- ant, J. D. Moore. showed a number of pictures dealing with the life hisâ€" tory and development of rusts and loose smut. lllll'il.;: lilt week, ('rnp lmlirunnizvnt with (bum) in couperzltzon ilitli. inr l’urnicr gimlps. held Iiil‘r‘u mi-e'ings lo give i'arnurs smcrzil plots of ]‘(‘>l>llllll oats, >00 Clean Houses For Keeping Poultry Pay Sanitation is one of the most im- portant factors governing successful poultry production.

Ritchie Cowan. Dominion Experimental Farm, Nap- pan, N.S. Grain intended for seed should be well ripened previous to cutting. It should be stored under dry condi- tions. Excessive moisture will cause germination to deteriorate. All seed requires a thorough clean- ing and grading to remove weed seeds and offal as well as all light and shrunken kernels. There is a definite relationship between Plump- ness of the seed, and the size and Sowing seed infested with weed seeds is not profitable. A survey of the seed oats sown by a number of farmers showed a weed content as high as 2,200 weed seeds per pound of grain. This means that 10 or 15 per cent of the weight of seed sown was weed seeds. The cost of removâ€" ing these impurities is a relatively small item in the total seed cost, but to do so will pay high dividends. A scutching or buffering attach- ment on the cleaning equipment is a valuable accessory in preparing seed barley and oats. It removes all adhering awns on barley and the tails on oats. The only dependable way of as- sessing the germination of seed is by taking a sample and testing it. It can either be tested at home or sent to the nearest Dominion Seed Analysing Laboratory and for a small fee will be checked. Diseases such as smuts cause sub- stantial losses every year. LOOSc and covered smuts of oats, covered smut of wheat and barley can be controlled by seed treatment. The choice of the proper variety is important. Best returns will be realized by using a pure variety.
