Alfalfa Seeci crops pro- duced in future in Ontario and ,Muebec would become from a yarety standpoint a congiomer- *te mixture. It will be impossible to avoid such condition. Both the 4eed trade and the farmer should throw their entire weight against the culture of a foreign seed. Our Position Now that we have frankly ex- pressed our opinion to our cus- tomers whose patronage we cher- ish. as responsible seedsmen we .onsider we have discharged our duty as we sec it. S.C. Whilç Leghorn Nevertheless, we want our customers to know they may ord- er French Grown Seed at their iown risk, this is stained 10</o Red to meet Government regulations. (The colour itself looks danger- ous). If this stained seed is used we would suggest a 25 % increase in the rate of seeding. Canadian Grown Alfaifa This Canadîan-grown Grimm variety is one of Canada's great- est agricultural heritages in the Forage Crop f amily. In later years large quantities of this Western-grown, hardy Grimm variety were solci and seedeci in Eastern Canada with notable suc- cess. Satisfaction It gives a Seeci Dealer a feel- ing of satisfaction when he selîs a hardy variety of Aif alfa from which. ail other things being equal, his customer is almost sure to get a crop, because experience has proven our Canadian Grimm variety is resistant to winter-kill. Duty As A Seed Dealer There can be no doubt that it is our duty to protect Canada's agriculture first, whether it ne, in respect to Alfalfa or any other crop seed. The question arises, can we afford -to encourage the farmer to sow a variety of Alfalfa grown in a foreign country, on another continent, when Can- ada is producing the highest grade and hardiest type of Aif- alf a produced anywhere? In oth- er words. we the dealer runs no risk of a comeback on the part of our customer if we seli Can- adian grown seed, whether "Grimm" or "Variegated." Position At Stewart's Seeds We are already receiving ship- ments of Canadian Grown No. 1 Alfalfa and a large quantity has ibeen sold to early buyers at a considerable saving over later prices. We feel certain we will have sufficient Canadian Alfaîf a for our customers provided they buy at once. We are already re- ceiving orders from outside dist- ricts, this always occurs when a general shortage prevails, caus- ing a local shortage with replace- ments unprocurable.

The champion plowmen are 28- year-old Hugh A.

The topic for discussion, "How Can the Market for Farm Produce be Expanded." We feit that more advertising, more attractive packaging, co- operative store to seli farm pro- ducts, andi to educate our people to use more of our own products, would help to look after the sur- plus products in our area. We, as dairy farmers do not miss the small percentage taken out of the cream or milk cheque to use for advertising. The more the producer advertises the bet- ter returns he receives. We had Mr. and Mrs. Howard Foiey as our guests. Mr. Foley represented the Co-OperatixVe In- surance. Next meeting at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Broome. S. S. 4, DARLINGTON FORUM Our meeting of Jan. 8th was held at the home of Mn. and Mrs. G. A. Peterson. Senies III deals with Market- ing and this week we discussed "Wanted: New Mankets." We deait first with the question "What do you tbink should be done to ensure future markets for surplus products in our area?" We do not think that future markets can be definiteiy ensur- cd. Domestic and foreign econ- omic conditions affect oun mark- ets. Weathen conditions over which we have no control are an important facton in the creation of sunpluses or cnop failures. In this area surpluses are not a serious problem in an avenage yean. However thene are some things which can Ime donc to bet- ton marketing conditions. 1. The dairy farmer would pos- sibly be benofitteci if dainies bought from a central agency. 2. Increaseci food consumption by Canadians. 3. Bettèr worid distribution of food. 4. Improved quaiity of pro- ducts. 5. Put producen's name on packages. l.6. Package products attractive- 7. Date of packing should ho placed on packages of perishable goods. 8. More intensive advertising program. 9. Co-operative stonage space for seasonal surpiuses. Question 2 was "Do you think it a good idea or not for Farm Organizations to collect money from farmers for the purpose of Ipnomoting the sale of their pro- ducts as the dairy farmers of Canada are doing with dainy producta?" This was generally accepted to be advisable Advertising willinii- crease the sales on our home markets The farmer as a con-, tnibuton to the advontisingz will take a personal interost in ad- ventisements. Additionai points brought for- ward includeci the following: i. At prosent we don't pay enough to any Farm Organiza- tion to get the needed results. 2. More publicity should be given the farmers' problems. 3. Individualists are making it very expensive for the rest of us. 4. We wish that the city man who says that the farmer is the best off of anyone because he produces ah bhis o\vn food, wbich is the big item in the city man's budget, would follow the farm womcn through the chain gro- cery stores.
