1086 6 the georgetown herald wed nesday evening april j 7th 1940 good seed potatoes are still available 1 seed potatoes which ere 4lot good anmirh to qualify as oertlned seed mt8ht be very dear even as a gift when a potato grower figures his atbour costs for planting cultivating spraying and harvesting and hlstout- u for fertiliser and spray materials depreciation on machinery marketing costs and other items then it becom amy evident that success orlahure af file whole season s operations may depend largely upon the quality of the eed he is planting the weather condi tions during the growing period and 4he marketing situauon following tiarvest the weather haaards he is aware of he must of course take the weather as it comes but he can- arrange his cultural practices for eith er wet or dry seasons or both the decision he nuikes about seed however arust rest with himself and it is a jnost important decision to make for it may mean nof only the difference between a good yield and a poor yield fcut may make all the difference in the wbrw as to the disposition of the crop due to quality or marketability all good seed potato dealers now moommend only the planting of certified seed for the logical reaso chat they are convinced that certified jeed is improved seed and more growers are asking for it hie dealers bke to have a constant and dependable apply of well graded healthy vigorous eed potatoes for their trade and they fakw that certified seed has been elected grown and rogued for disea ses under supervision and is inspected and passed upon by an unbiased third party of sound integrity who is just es anxious as the dealers are that the sed purchasers are fully satisfied jtathermore the field reports of the ftvpeccors are available and can be ued upon which is better in their opinion than having to depend upon the grower s own interpretation of the quality of potatoes he may have for ale another important point is that the dealer knows that the table potatoes produced from certified seed are going to be more readily saleable ttt harvest and that will aid his table buaussjtegroajerlally further information aboutseed poz tatoes will be gladly supplied by kant protection division dominion department of agriculture ottawa or from the district certified seed potato inspector farm business management the successful farmer may be class dj as a business manager he no lon ger provides the major part of bis liv ing on his own farm he now pro duces farm products for sale u others and with the cash received purchases the variety of commodities which make jp his living standard the change from the old self sufficing farmingto the new commercial agriculture has made it possible for the successful farm business manager and his family to enjoy farm life to a greater extent than ever before the complete re volution in communication and trans- por atlon has brought to nun an op portunity to enter more fully into the life of the whole community the geteral manager of a business is recognized as a person of consider able ability certainly this is even more true of those who successfully manage a farm business in urban industry in canada there is an aver age of on general manager and 27 workers for each plant in canadian agriculture there is a manager for each farm and while the number of workers is not large the successful combination of labour and capital re quires real managerial ability almost every alternate man in agriculturt must accept the task of manager the number of managers per worker is thus 10 times greater in agriculture than in urban industry management ability is just as ne cessary in agriculture as in urban in dustry and training for service in this field to meet the changed and con stantly changing conditions of pro duction and marketing is particularly importan this is strikingly shown by a study of the business of more than 800 individual dairy farms hroughout ontario the earnings of individual farm operators for one year show a range of more than 7 000 be tween th least and most successfully itudy of a small trees not sprayed menace to orchard thousands of dollars are spent an nually throughout

not be so thorough after the tree becomes established but from the time the trees begin to fruit they must receive definite attention in respect to cul- ture cultivation and a proper spray program for the control of insect pests and fungus diseases improperly sprayed trees become a menace to the regular commercial orchards it is from these trees that mpny of the destructive fruit insects are being disseminated to infest or reinfest commercial orchards that have been inspected and found free of insects spraying of these garden orchards has become compulsory in some districts but has not proved
