Improvement Association are di- recting greater interest than ever ta ontario's problem o! seeking a larger degree o! self-su!ficiency in the production bath o! seed and feed grains. Quinte Seed Fair di- rectors are hoping ta add stimulus ta the general program by setting new goals of entries, attendance, and a broader help!ulness ta farm- ers during Fair week in Peterboro next March. The meeting was only the first step towards that accomplishment. More Immigrants Here Two hundred immigrants, 75 displaced persans, 25 orphans and 50 brides o! Canadian servicemen were among the 1532 persans ta enter Canada recently when the liner Aquitania docked at Halifax. Of these some 1300 travelled westward across the Dominion on four of Canadian National Rail- ways best trains. The trains brought 138 ta Quebe, 680 ta On- tario, 393 ta Western Canada and 107 ta points in the United States., Big S..d Dlsplay ls Seing Planned The Seed Display held annuaily by the Ontario Crop Improvem.ent Association in co4ijunction with its annual meeting offers an ex- cellent opportunity for seller and buyer of seed ta meet, and is re- cognized as one of our best seed markets, says J. D. MacLeod, Sec- retary of the Association. Greater interest than ever before is ex- pected in the 1948 display, which will be held in the King Edward Hotel, Toronto, on February g to 13, in view of the provincial pro- gram to produce more feed grains and the seed shortage in many sections of the Province. comes a member of the Ontario Crop Improvement Association may enter representative sample o! seed for sale o! all field crops. The quantities which may be dis- played in each case are as follows; cereal crops, 1 quart; Forage crop seeds, field root and vegetable seeds, 1 pint; potatoes, 10 pounds. All seed entered in the sale must be representative o! the qualities for sale, and must be graded in accardance with the Seeds Act. Many carloads o! seed have changed hands as this display in former years. Growers who have a surplus o! high quality seed are urged to submit a sample for an- alysis and grading to the nearest Plant Products Division office and make entry in this display. Regulations, entry forms, bags and tags may be obtained* from the Crops, Seeds and Weeds Branch, Parliament Build i n g s, Toronto, or the secretary of local Crop Improvement Associations. -atalogues listing the seed for sale will be prepared and given wide distribution. Farmers are urged ta attend this display and also the annual meeting of the Ontario Crop Improvement Association on Y'ebruary 9, 10 and 11, 1948. FARM FIRES CAUSE ANNUAL DAMAGE 0F OVER $10,000,000 It jr estimated from a recent survey made by the Dominion Bureau o! Statistics, that there were 8,000 farmn fires in Canada in the 12 - month period ended June 1, 1947. It is difficult ta ob- tain adequate representation o! farmn fires, because if a fire is suf!iciently seriaus to destroy the farmn residence and it is not re- built, there is little possibility o! collecting information about the fire from a sample survey o! hauseholds. However, even with this probability o! under-estimat- mng, the results o! the survey in- dicate that farmn fires occur with considerable frequency andl cause enarmous property damage. The estimated value o! farm property desriroyed. by fire in the period under review amounted to $10,- 254,000 and the amount o! loss cov ered by insurance was estimat- ed at $3,778,000, just under 37 per cent. This indicates that a rela- À PRODUCT OF GUNERAL MOTORS , ipoprtyis adequatiely nsu fren1d lv tctl 5PrCr against lires.

The farm house *as the location of 38 per cent, and 15 per cent was stubble, bush or grass lires. The remaining 2 per cent of the fires concerned machinery and equipment. In addition ta build- ings, included the f arm home, it is estimated that f arm equipment was lost or destroyed in 16 per cent of the lires and equipment shows considerable seasonal varia- tion, the late spring and surnmer betng the season in which tires are mast commnon.
