Phosphate supply in the form of superphosphate should be ample, but again this year there may be a shortage of 11-48 ammonium phosphate in the Prairie Prov- inces. This is due to a continued increase in demand in that part of Canada for this material, while its production at Trail, the only source of supply, is not likely to be increased. Some 43,000 tons of 11-48 ammonium phos- phate was used on the prairies in the spring of 1948, as against 10,- 000 tons in 1943. Potash supply from the United States and Europe should be am- ple provided that the tonnage ar- ranged in France materializes as expected. Sulphate of potash with which to make tobacco fer- tilizer with low chlorine content, may be short again this year. Inspection Checks Quality OF Seeds It may not be sufficiently real- ized by farmers that the Domin- ion Government provides protec- tion for the Canadian livestock and poultry feeder through the Feeding Stuffs Act and Regula- tions. This act is administered by the plant products division of the Dominion Department of Agriculture and, in brief, is de- signed to set minimum standards of quality and chemical composi- tion for all common feed stuffs offered for sale in Canada. The manufacture and sale of the various feeds has developed into an industry of considerable size and importance. For exam- ple, during 1946, the manufacture of mixed feeds alone totalled 1,- 585,782 t6ns, with a selling value at the plant of $80,286,107. This does not include -chopped grain, mill feeds, protein feeds and all other feed ingredients which come within the scope of the act and which would bring the total to upwards of 5,000,000 tons. This volume obviously presents sampling and testing difficulties, but all feeds are sampled and tested periodically. Last year, some 4,480 samples were taken across Canada and tested chem- ically for protein, fat, fibre and mineral content and tested micro- scopically for physical composi- tion. Many feed manufacturers con- duct their own tests and most do their utmost to produce high quality feeds, but all will agree that the government supervision through testing and the Feeding Stuffs Act itself, has tended to have a better type of feed placed on the market for livestock and poultry consumption in Canada.

CERTIFICATION The summer months are busy ones for the seed inspectors and district supervisors of the plant products division of the Dominion Department of Agriculture. Dur- ing that time they visit farms and inspect the growing crops to as- certain whether they have merit from the standpoint of seed pro- duction. If the crop is found elig- ible to produce certified seed in with the of the Seeds Act, a seed crop cer- tificate is granted. Quite strict inspection is re- quired to qualify a crop for this certificate and make it eligible to produce certified seed. The crop must be grown from registered seed, and in some cases from cer- tified seed. It must be pure as to variety and other kinds, as de- termined by actual count at the time of inspection of the growing crop. It must be relatively free from seed-horne diseases, also as determined by count while the crop is growing. In addition, to prevent contamination, it -must be grown in a field well isolated from other varieties or other crops; on land relatively free from weeds, particularly noxious weeds; and on land that has not pro- duced unregistered crops of the same kind in the previous year.
