The distribution this spring will consist of samples of oats, spring wheat, barley, field pease, Indian corn and potatoes. . Every fnrmer may apply, but only one sample can be sent to each applicant, hence if an individual reâ€" celves a sample of oats he cannot also receive one of wheat, barley or potatoes, and applications for more than one sample for one household cannot be entertained. These samples will be sent free of charge through the wail. Applications should be addressed to the Director of Experimental Farms, Ottawa, and may be sentin any time before the 15th of March, after which the lists will be closed, so that all the samples gaked for may be sent out in good time for sowing.
