It would seem opportune to revive the production of this seed crop as market prospects for the fut- ure are good. Als:-;,' has brought profitable v>esk for many years in the United . ..gdom and the United States. Jther European countries and N'ew 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 usually pro- duces from 4 to 10 bushels per acre, and prices paid growers seldom have been lower than $5.00 per bushel for average seed in the rough. The price in 1938 to the grower is about $12.00. the prosperity of the fanning popct lation, which forms over 30 per cent. of the population of Canada, points to better times for the entire nation.

Ilxtra Value at 5»c WHITE FLANNELETTE 500 yards heavy quality White Fkn- •elette 27 incbes wide. Special at 2 jrards for 25c (By J. T. Cassin, Potato Fieldman) Why are Ontario Potatoes being dis- criminated against to the extent of 25c to 35c per bag on Ontario markets? Is it because potatoes of good cooking quality can't be produced in Ontario ? No. But too many Ontario potatoes are poorly graded and have not good cook- ing quality resulting from immaturity, 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% 'of their potato trade is with Maritime stock. It appears that in October and No- vember many potatoes affected with field frost, Fusarium Wilt and Fus- arium Eumarti and poorly graded were rushed to market. They were unsatisfactory to the consumers and many of them turned to Maritime potatoe^. The demand for Ontario potatoes has fallen off and many growers are receiving only 35c to 40c per bag while Prince Edward Is- lands are selling at 90c per bag in carloads on tract Toronto. E!ven well graded Ontario's of good qual- ity move slowly at 15c below P.E.I.'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% Fusarium Wilt and Fusarium Eumar- ti and some hollow heart and frost injury to make conditions 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 potatoes produced with results similar to those existing at present. The importance of using seed that is free from dis- ease cannot be too strongly im- pressed upon potato growers. Farm- ers who have potatoes bearing these diseases should cook them when feed- them to livestock. If fed uncooked infection will be carried to the soil in the manure and succeeding potato crops will be infected. The amount of certified seed pota- toes in Ontario is very limited. There were less than 1,300 acres of potatoes that received and passed inspection in Ontario l^t year. This is less than 1% of the Ontario crop. There were very few fields of uncertified stock that did not have these diseases in them. Much of the certified crop lias been murkeled for tabic uso. Growers who need a change of seed should not delay in arranging for their supplies, while it is yet possible to get them. District representatives will be furnished with the names of certified 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 grow- ers to increase their acreage, when there is such a demand in Ontario markets for their potatoes. Foit;y per cent, of the P.E.I, crop was planted from certified seed and less than 1 per cent, of Ontario's crop. This very well explains the difference in price in Ontario markets. Dis- eased seed cannot produce good po- tatoes. FARM PROPERTY IMPROVES The report of sales of farm machin- ery by one of the largest Canadian implement manufacturers reveals an increase during the past year of over 40 per cent.
