Net eless than two such tests, and otten four, are made on each sample. *The tests are held at a standard temperature, depeading on the kind cf seed being teshed. After a period cf time, which also de- epends on the kind cf seed belng etested, the sprouts are cpunted 1 and the number per cent cf nor- Ymal spreuts is reported. F It is important te note that the sexpression "nomlspreuts" bas *been used. If a sample is ef un- usualiy high vitality ail the sprouts may be normal, but more 1 otten some cf them cannot be 1counted as such. A normal sprout 1is defined as one which ls lukely i te produce a normal plant pnider t avourable conditions In the f ield. .As it is impossible for the labor- tatory te know the conditions un- der xvhich a lot cf seed wiil event- iually be scwn, it mnust Drovide the *mest favourable conditions pos- sible In the test and then judge whether the sprouts that grow fare te, be counted as normal or 7abnormai. The accurate judg- ment cf aprouts requires careful training and detailed inspection of each spreut whon nmaking the germination count. Since it is impossible te know the conditions under which the seed is going te be sown, it can- not be said that a given germin- ation result in the laboratory will necessariiy be repeated in the field. As the laborahorles cf the Plant Products Division. Domin- ion Department ef Agriculture, issue reports used in the adminis- tration cf the Seeds Act, it la im- portant that results cf a germin- ation test made at one time or by one labcratory shourd be re- peahable at another time or by another laboratory, Thus, the germination test ha te be looked upon as a sert cf yard-stick by which the value cf a lot cf seed may be measured against anothor lot cf seed or against the stan- dards laid down in the Act. In order te make tests repeatable, the conditions cf test are- caretully standardized. It semehimes happens that un- expected things make test con- ditions net quite as well standard- I ized as believed. An exemple cf this appeared in an investigation complehed recently by the Seed Research Laboratory, says Dr. C. W. Leggaht, who ta in charge cf seed research.

Using the Worker As ca Stooge (by Joseph Lister Rutledge) j It is a rather popular belief that a strike-almost any strike- indicates that someone has been putting-upon labor. In declaring a national emergency as a resuit ef the current dock strike in Bni- tain, the geverment has gene eut of its way te make plain that it is dolng nething of the kind. It is not an offense, it deciared, te take part in a strike or te persuade others te do se. Obvieusly this suggests that it recegnizes a dit- ference beween strikefi and strikes. This is a distinction that ail should be able te make-to recegnize the difference between labor's rightful use cf suasion te secure ils nîghts, and the insidieus use cf a legitimate weapon with the hidden purpose cf sowlng trouble about the wenld. This is ot peculiar significance te Canada because Canada's cern- munist-domninated Canadian Sea- man's Union is being used te create trouble and se deiay the recovery pregram of the Western Wonid. Se Canada's reputation suffers at the hands cf workers who are belng made uncenscieus stooges of the men whe think ýWth Moscow, whose oniy aim is te do the maximum damage te international goodwiil. It is a notable fact that cern- munism pays littho attention te the smaller unions. Always, as now, it invades unions that rep- resent strategic industries, which can domînate recovery prograrns: the ceai mines whose product is essential te world production, the shipping irîdustry whlch is essen- tial te world distribution. Strikes are engineered for their des- tructive uses, and the suggestion et constructive benefit for the worker is used only te delude. In Australia the ceai miners are being led te dety the labor gev- ernment. They are directed by a communlst fringe whose purpese is te bring Australia te the point cf industrial collapse. A ship bringing urgenly needed ceai, a Canadan ship has been tied up fer four menths. At tho request of The Canadian Seaman's Union say he stike leaders. To this Perey Bengough, secrctary cf the Canadian Trades and Labour Ceuncil, rehorts tint this is cern- munist bluffthat there is ne justification for holding up the siip. In Britain, lightermen's and ment porters' unions have been induced to 'cia the strîke in an effort te deicat th e government's emergency measures. In Hono- lulu Harry Bridges, cemmunist leader cf the cornmuaist tinged leader cf tie leftist Lengshore- mca 's union has ticd up ail siip- ping at this vital peint. In each case the ahhack is now against governmenhs, and thie worker might ask himsci.f, wiy? Are the dubîcus issues involvcd suf- ficient te justify detiance cf gev-j ernment, or the great calamity in. volved? Is labor being used o create trouble for trouble's sake?
