The Department is requesting the co-operation of grow- ers in planning now for their 1944 seed needs and reporting individual requirments to county agricultural representatives by November 15th. Hon. Thomas L. Kennedy, Minis- ter of Agriculture, in commenting on this measure, states: "What the Department of Agi ulture would like farmers to do is secure whatever possible good seed of suitable varie- ties for their 1944 sowing needs. Vll oats and barley suitable for seed from the 1943 crop and any held over from 1942. should be cleaned and offered for sale as seed. Farm- ers should offer their surplus seed first to neighbors and advise their Agicultural representatives of any not sold by Nov. 15th. Do not feed grain of seed quality. If necessary, replace it with Western feed grain. Farmers are advised to buy seed Drains early and if unable to obtain suitable seed, advise their Agricul- tural Representative not late than Nov. loth. This -vill enable us to estimate the reqiirements for each di?trict. 30 that there will be ample seed grain for everyone." It is further suggested that Direct- ors and members of County Crop Im- provement Associations can become actively interested in the movemer.t ard supply of seed grain, thereby contributing valuable assistance in a situation which demands serious and immediate action on the part of farmers all over the Province.

Fifty mem- bers of the House of Commons Curtailment Of News Print Firmly Expected A large number of subscriptions to The Advance come due at this time of the year and we urg^ our subscribers to renew th*>ir subscrip- tions promptly. Reports from the board controlling paper is to the ef- fect that paper supplies have been reduced in quantity and a curtail- ment of circulation by newspapers will likely go into effect. If done so it will mean that those subscriptions : not paid in advance will be the ones to be dropped from our circulation lists. Some time ago the govern- ! ment announced that all subscrip- tions were to be paid in advance and since that time many have paid up. There are others, however, who have not paid any attention to notices sent them or to the requests through these columns, but the time has come when other tactics will have to be adopted. Kindly have your subscrip- tion arrears paid at once so that you will make sure your favorite weekly paper reaches you each week. THE CHARTERED BANKS OF CANADA SAVERS LUNAN D.D.G.M.

FARM SALES REFLECT SCARCITY OF MACHINERY Lucky is the farmer nowadays who is well equipped with machinery and who is not forced to bid for it at the auction sales. Lucky, for that matter. is any individual or firm whose mach- inery is adequate for its needs. In many cases a shortage of machinery means there will be no replacement until after the war. With the fanner, however, he can attend an auction sale and pick un almost any kind of farm implement if he is satisfied with the price he may have to pay for it and if he is satified to take a chance on this second-hand machin- ery. And that's the rub! There is no "ceiling" on what one may pay at an auction sale. There ; -. however, a ceiling on second-hand machinery when purchased through i dealer. There may be a lesson here. Were it not for the price ceil- ings it is possible buyers would be at the mercy of unscrupulous manu- facturers and there would be no help for it. At an auction -sale it is dif- ferent. If the price is too high you font have to bid. but this is little ?omfort to the many who needs a machine and has to have one. F-rm machinery is selling well "it now at Auction 'iles. This may r-fl<-et t>- scarcity, hut slso shows trit the farmer who needs it has t- 1 - - monev to pav for it. for most q-irticn sales now ar" run on :\ cnsli l ias i s . _ Durham Chronicle.
