As the time for planting mangels, turnips and carrots for seed is at hand, a few recommendations relative to planting may be opportune. The roots used for seed productior should furthermore be as uniform as possible in respect to general type That is to say, they should be of the same color and of the same general shape. It is of minor importance that they be uniform in size as experience has shown that small roots produce about as much seed as large ones and that the quality of the seed produced by small roots Is just as good as the quailty of the seed produced by large ones. The roots chosen for seed raising should be planted in rows anywhere from 3% to 3 fret apart so as to make it possible to | se cultivate between the rows. Mr..gels and swede tur mips should, in order to be given a chance to branch out freely, be spaced anywhere from two or three feet apart in the rows; in the case of carrots, the roots may be planted closer together, say from 1% to 2 feet apart in the rows. If only a small number of roots are to be set out, the planting may be done with a spade. This method of planting is very simple. Holes are made at the proper distances suf ficlently deep to allow the roots placed therein to be just nicely covered with earth. When the roots are placed in the holes, the soil should be packed around them. The planting is done properly if the tops of roots are just a little below the surface of the ground. If a large area is to be planted, it is especially if help is scarce, more eco nomical to plant with a plow. Fur rows are made, and the roots are placed reclining on the slanting side of the furrow at the proper distance apart in such a way that the soil turned over by the plow in the next round will just cover the tops. Then a third furrow is ploughed and no roots are planted in it. Tb be brief. the roots should be planted in every third furrow and placed in such a manner that the plow barely covers them with soil. If the tops are left uncovered, they may dry out if the weather turns hot, but if, on the oth er hand, the roots are buried too deep. the seed stalks sprouting from them may have some difficulty to break through, especially if the roots are small. No matter what methods are folâ€" lowed in the planting of the roots. it is essential that the roots be set out as early as it is possible to go on the land for, according to experi ence, the early planting brings the heaviest seed yields. Mr. McKenzie‘s exact words were: "While am not a very high protec tionist, I am not in favor _ of _ the Chinese wall that the _ member _ for West Peterborough _ (Mr. Burnham) would like to be built. 1 connot help knowing that protection _ of certain industries has done much for those in dustries this country.I cannot help knowing that in this very steel plate that we are talking about, _ and the institution of the steel works in Sydâ€" ney, N.S., and he market which that steel works has furnished _ for â€" our coal in the province of Nova Scotia and that thousands of men are em ployed in connection with the _ coal mines toâ€"day who would not _ have been employed were it not for _ the steel works, that is all brought about by the assistance which the Govern ment in this country gave to the devâ€" elopment of the steel and iron indua tries of the country. If there is to be a further development in connection with the steel industry and the _ coal industry by the building of plate and the building of ships in the country I think it is a wise move along _ the lines of development within our own borders, and I don‘t think anyone is preaching amy political heresy in this country when he advocates the devâ€" elopment of the resources we _ have in this country, and making ourselves selfâ€"sustaining and Jndependent _ as much as that can possibly be done." On the Farm LIVE STOCK FOR SOLDIER SETTLERS. Each year many farmers are the victims of plausible agents who are selling the so called new varieties. Making extravagant claims they make a corresponding price and only too often the farmer who naturally desirâ€" es more productive varieties if ob tainable, pays an exorbitant price for a supposedly new and prolific sort, which is either an old variety amouflaged with a new name or else First, those who take a high yieldâ€"‘ ng, prolific variety such as [!unlwri r O. A. C. No. 72 oats, give it anâ€" ther name and introduce it as a new ariety. Second, those who are selling a ariety that has bâ€"en multiplied from i peculiar plant or from extraordinary reads found in the general crop. The »roducer â€" thinking it a valuable varâ€" ety, offers it for sale before its qualiâ€"‘ les are known. Third, those who are offering for ale to a few limited customers only, i wonderful veriety that was . proâ€" luced by a secret process of selecâ€" ion or else has been grown from a ow seeds founds in the tombs of the ncient Pharachs. â€" selection whose qualities are enâ€" irely unknown. Being divisable inâ€" 0 classes, these agents and their laims can be grouped conveniently 1 follows:â€"â€" A fourth class might be made of hose who sell a variety for what it is, ut make extravagant claims for its ‘lelding ability. This is well ilusâ€" ‘rated by the Alsake or sevenâ€"headed vheat. . The agent in the first case is a nancial shark, who is obtaining roney by false pretences. He perâ€" aps does the least harm of any beâ€" ond the confusion created in the emenclature of varieties and the loney which he takes from the armer. In the second case the agent may be cting in the best of faith and with he conviction that his claims will be ustified by the resulting crop. Per iaps they will be, but the vavieties re legion that have been introduced a this way and have been found vorthless in comparative tests with tandard varieties. It is the right of any person who as multiplied out a selection o‘ rain to sell it for what it is and ‘harge any price he sees fit. . Against hese wellâ€"intentioned, legitimate ransactions we have nothing to say eyond cwarnipg the farmer, that at he best he is likely only buying an ild variety and that exceedingly few f these amateur selections are ever { value. The third agent though, is the real ut and out grain fakir and should be ‘able to prosecution. The â€" farmer ho is deceived by his pretences al 0st deserves to pay the price of his redulity. What is advisable is that in every ase before buying a variety that he atends to grow as a general crop, the armer should consult the reports of is â€" nearest Experimental | Station. ‘he remedy for the actual frauds that re perpetuated is in his own hands is long as he will brty the agents will ell, and the efforts put forth by the ‘ereal .stations of Can@da for the mprovement of crops will continue t« e partially frustrated. Ottawa, May 9.â€"The Minister of Agriculture announces that a cable has been received from the British ministry of food, stating that it has been finally decided that the ministry will not purchase the exportable sur plus of Canadian cheese for the sea zon 1919, and that producers and dealâ€" era should be notified accordingly This means that the exportation of cheese will be left to private trading as in preâ€"war days. s (Experimental Farms Note.) FAKE GRAIN VARIETIEs TO BUY NO MORE CHEESE. M. 1. C. Hallman of the _ Fagmers Coâ€"operative Company â€" of _ Waterloo shipped another carload of cattle to Toronto. They were raised by local farmers and were a fine lot of cattle bringing very satisfactory returns. (Experimental Farms Note.) 1 Many farmers still think it advlu-' able to chauge their seed grain every ; two er three years. In the light of ; the work done by the various experl-l mental farms of Canada, this practice has nothing to recommend it, while on! the contrary, it has been shown that | there are distinct advantages in not! changing seed. By the use of a good | fanningâ€"mill it is quite possible to | grow the same grain year after year| on the same farm and maintain .its i productivity, provided that the grain is seeded early each season on wellâ€" drained, fertile soil, ‘The seed should not be blamed for poor farming, which is most frequently the cause of the farmer‘s dissatisfaction. Many of those who favor a change of seed have possibly based their beâ€" lief on faulty observations. An error that is often made is that of comparâ€" ing the results of one season with the results of the next. If the seed has been changed between times and the second season is unusually faâ€" vorable, it is assumed immediately that the change of seed has brought the increased yield. ‘The weather conditions in different seasons may alone make a difference in yield of from twenty to forty bushels per acre, depending on the kind of grain. Again the use of different fields may give rise to the same error of judgâ€" ment, also differences in the dates of seeding. When the change of seed is made with a neighbor it is a gamble whethâ€" er one gets anything that is superior to gheir own or not. The variety is usually doubtful, and the labor, cos: and inconvenience have to be considâ€" ered as well, while there is always a possibility of introducing noxious weeds. There is one change of seed that every farmer who has been following this practice should make. He should change to the best variety of whatâ€" ever kind of grain he is growing and stick to it. If he is not satisfiedl with his seed, he should discard it and buy seed of a wellâ€"known and proved vaâ€" riety. Its purity and productivity can be maintained by the combined use of the seed plot and the fanning mill and a change of seed is unnecessary. Mangei seed sampies, containibg seeds of Field Bindweed or Wild Morning Gory in considerable numâ€" bers, have recently been received & the Ottawa Seed Laboratory. _ Field Bindweed is probably the most perâ€" sistent and objectionable of the weeds classed as noxious under the Seed Control Act. _ Fortunately it is not widespread in Canada, but once estab lished it is most difficult to eradicate and very destructive to crops. Field Nindweed seeds are seldom present in Canadian grown commercial seed ‘ut they are occastonally found in ‘mported seed, â€" particularly in beet ind mangel. All stocks of these seeds should be gery carefully examined before sowâ€" ng, and every Field Bindweed seed present removed by screening _ or mandpicking. _ The seed closely _ reâ€" iembles that of ordinary _ Morning Glory. They are liable to appeatr ‘ither as separate seeds or a few toâ€" gether in a seed ball. _ Farmers canâ€" aot be too careful in guarding against this menace.
