The Seeds Act is one of the statutes of Canada and was pass- ed by the Dominion Parliament in 1937. It contains the long-term policy laid down if regard .to seed. It provides that seed must be labelled Wher it is offered for sale, that seed inspectors and seed analysts may be appointed, that, new varieties must be licens- od, that seed must be sold as rep- resented, that "rejected" seed may not be sold, that seed im- ported into Canada must 'meet Canadian standards. The Act pro- vides for enforcement of the law. In addition to these provisions there is a section which author- izes the Minister of Agriculture to make regulations. The act it- self, since it deals with general policies, is only changed at inter- vals of years; but conditions un- der which seed is produced,' pro- cessed and sold change with the seasons, Varieties, production methods, processing" methods and changing and improving, These changing conditions are met by changing: the regulations but the changes in the regulations do not affect the basic principles of the act. As the act prescribes and limits the regulations which can made, when they are signed by the minister, they become just as much a part of the law as the act itself.

Prod- ucts composed in 'part of sodium hypochlorite cannot usually be prepared to contain more than 22 per cent available chlorine, and they deteriorate fairly rapidly un- til they become stable at about five per cent. When a manufacturer guaran- tees 12 per cent available chlor- ine, he draws up directions for use of his preparation at a stated rate of dilution. But because the product deteriorates fast, the recommended dilution will not produce an effective disinfectant solution unless used almost im- mediately, and the purchaser is misled into believing that uten- sils, glasses or crockery, have been disinfected when such is not the case.

RLANT PEPPED oP COMMERCIAL FERTILIZER, FEEDINGS OF 5- 0-5 2] Tomato plants have healthy ap- petites and. young ones that are given -extra feedings will, out- grow those that must fend for themselves. A sprinkling of 5.105 com- mercial fertilizer around each plant, as illustrated in the accom- panying garden-graph, is one me- thod of making them grow strong. and steadily. Sprinkle the fertilizer in a ring about four or five inches out from the main stem of each plant, as illustrated. Apply the fertil- izer about once every three weeks during the summer, raking it into' the ground each time. The plants will also thrive on a liquid diet. Application at the same frequency as for dry feed- ings consist of three cupfuls of commercial fertilizer ~ per® 12 quarts of water poured around each plant, but not closed than four or five inches from the stem. It has been found out that when tomato plants are given these ex- tra feedings the seedlings are less apt to wilt, the plants set fruit earlier and then produce heavier yields, Many gardeners prefer ithe li quid diet because the necessary. food elements are dissolved and are immdiatels availeble for the plant roots to use. Also when they are sufficiently dissolved there is little danger of injuring. the tender roots by Lurning them. Some fertilizing mixtures are only partly soluble in Water. Ta overcome this minor uifficulty suspend the mixture in a bag .in a container of water for a few days and it will be found that the chemicals gradually dissolve, \ 104g THE OAKVILLE-TRAFALGAR JOURNAL For =) To | A farm cellar is often | ly suitable for this | purpose. | Even with these precautions, | eggs should be marked frequently | to avoid deterioration.
