It would seem opportune to revive the production of this seed crop as market pros- pects for the future are good. : Alsike has brought profitable prices for many years in the United Kingdom and the United States. Other European countries Zealand also buy [Canadian alsike seed. It is reasonable to expect that good prices will continue for well-grown alsike seed reasonably free of weed seeds. . This clover us- ually produces from 4 to 10 busheis per acre, and prices paid growers seldom have been lower than $5 per bushel for average seed in ihe rough. The price in 1938 to the grower is about $12. FERTILIZER RECOMMENDATIONS An Ontario Department of Agri- culture publication, 'Fertilizer Re- commendations" looked upon by many progressive farmers -as the most valuable of all "booklets pub- lished by the Department from year to year, is just off the press for 1938 and ready for distribution free to every farmer. This important pamphlet of 20 pages can [be obtain- ed, Mr. Farmer, from either your Agricultural representative, the Chemistry (Department, 0.A.C., or by writing [Publications Branch, On- tario Department of Agriculture, Parliament (Buildings, Toronto. Obey that impulse and jwrite for it now. It will mean money to you this year in the opinion of prominent agricul- turists. 8 The booklet does not .contain any "hit or miss" information. It is the result of much careful work by the Advisory Board in conjunction with farmer users, government officials and manufacturers. It is iconsider- ed the most reliable information on fertilizers in the province. Every single recommendation is backed by experimental data, in some cases gathered over a long fperiod of years It is checked and double checked by the Board, every member of which having been chosen for outstanding ability. One of the board's func- tions is "to examine experimental data from all reliable sources having to do with the use of fertilizers and methods of application, and to make recommendations justified by such' data or by approved farm practices" Space will not permit outlining the contents of the booklet in detail. The two pages on soil management and conservation of barnyard ma- nure are distinctly worth while. You grow general crops? Well, you wil Ifind general fertilizer recom- mendations for barley, beans, buck- wheat, corn, fall wheat, maugels, mixed grain, oats, peas, late pota- toes, spring wheat, sugar beets and turnips. ' Dairy farmers and beef men will find recommendations for fertilizers to be placed on dairy and beef pas- tures as well as for hay crops. Se-! veral pages are devoted to fertiii- zers for market garden crops, while four pages are given to best fer- tilizer mixtures for grapes, rasp- berries, strawberries and tree fruits. There is information for the to- bacco farmer too, whether he grows flue-cured, burley or dark tobacco. There is also valuable data on the home mixing of fertilizers; methods of application, and soil testing ser- vice. This latter service can be ob- tained at O.A.C.

Is it because potatoes of good cooking quality eannot be pro- duced in Ontario? No. But too many Ontario potatoes cooking quality, resulting from im- maturity, frost injury and diseases. Many of the consuming public have been so dissatisfied with Ontario potatoes that they refuse to buy them. In Toronto some chain stores and many independents do not handle Ontarios at all, others report that 75 per cent of their potato stock is with Maritime stock. It appears that in October aud November many (potatoes affected with field frost. [Fusarium Wilt and Fusarium Eumarti and poorly grad- ed were rushed to market. They were unsatisfactory to the consumers and many of them turned to Maritime potatoes. The demand for Ontario potatoes has fallen off and many growers are receiving only 35¢ to | 40c per bag 'while Prince Edward, Islands are selling at 90c per bag mv carloads on tract (Toronto. Even well graded Ontarios of good quali-' ty move slowly at 15¢c below P.E.l.s because so many are afraid to buy Ontario potatoes. [Confidence once lost is difficult to regain. At the present time some well graded po- tatoes are being -offered with 75 per cent Fusarium Wilt and Fu- sarium Eumartii and some holiow heart and frost injury to make con- ditions worse. There is very little that can be done this season to correct or im- prove conditions, but efforts should be made to, make preparations for the [1938 crop. Where seed potatoes infected with these diseases are planted in the soil these fields will become infected and another crop of diseased pota- toes produced with results similar to those existing at present. The im- portance of using seed that is free from diseases cannotbe too strongly impressed unon potato growers. Far- mers who have potatoes bearing these diseases should cook them when feeding them to livestock. If fed uncooked infection will be car- ried to the soil in the manure and succeeding potato crops 'will be in- fected. © The amount of certified seed po- tatoes in 'Ontario is very limited. There were less than 1,300 acres of potatoes that received and passed in- spection in Ontario last year. This is less than 1 per cent of the Ontario érop. There were very few fields of uncertified stock that, did not have these diseases in them. Much of the certified crop has been marketed for table use. Growers who need a change of seed should not delay in| arranging for their supplies, while] it is vet possible to get them. District representatives will be | furnished with the names of certifi- | ed seed growers and the varieties! grown. Ontario potato growers are losing many thousands of dollars by using seed that is disease infected. They are also encouraging Maritime gro- wers to increase their acreage, when there is such a demand in On- tario markets for 'their potatoes. Forty percent of the P.E.I crop was planted from certified seed and less than 1 per cent of Ontario's crops. This very 'well explains the differ- ence in price in Ontario markets. Diseased seed cannot produce good potatoes. Pride is a twin brother to conceit and a first cousin of selfishness. 904204 6% o%% o%0 9 % 0 80."

Messrs. Hitler and (Mussotiini may easily have failed to under- stand that that is not necessarily the case in |Great Britain, 'and may have assumed that in getting rid of Eden they were sure of getting rid of Edenism. There are certainly in- dications that they are prepared to be less exigent towards another Foreign Minister; the concessions regarding Italian troops in Spain, concessions carefully postponed un- til an hour after [Eden's resignation and the Vatican's move regarding religion in Loyalist |Spain, are both full of signifance. All the same it appears regret- table that the British 'Government should have given the autocracies, at this eritical moment, so plausible a semblance of cause for triumph, even if there' is to be little or no real cause for triumph in the long run. For the autocracies are en- gaged in extending their power, partly by bluff and partly by threats, over a large portion of Europe, and Mr. [Eden is perfectly right in his belief that all signs of weakness among the opponents of that extension will make the process easier. Autocrats must have success to boast of. It is true that if they rave none they will invent them, but the real ones are better, and they should not be presented with real ones when it can possibly be helped. : ~~ He that hath the patience to at- tend small profits may quickly grow to thrive and purchase.

When we look over a weekly and fail to see anything that might be classed as intensely interesting, we are not like the grouchy subscriber and re- mark: "There is nothing in that sheet," but on the other hand, a feeling of sympathy runs through our mind, because we know what it is to issue a paper when news is none too plentiful.
