"The end is not yet if I have anything to say ;n the matter," the minister declared. "I am heartily in accord with the view that the Provincial Government should pay a iderable higher percentage of school costs." HONEY OUTLOOK is impossible at the present lent to estimate with any degree ccuracy the honey crop for 1938. but with an increase in the number of bee colonies reported, the capacity for production has increased over previous years. It is quitte possible, however, that winter losses may offset this increase. Furthermore, reports indcate a possible shortage of major nectar securing plants in 1938 due to the heavy winter-killing of 1936-37. and a shortage of clover VERNONVILLE April 26th, 1938 Mr. C. B.

TEST OLD SEED BEFORE SOWING When seed fails to germinate after sowing, real loss results, for re-seeding costs money and early crop prospects vanish. Recently a gardener sent samples of lettuce, onion, beet and carrot seed to the Domnion Seed Branch Laboratory, Ottawa, for germination test. The seed was three years old and intended for use next spring. The lettuce germinated 72%, the beet 71%, the carrot 49% and the onion 2%. Three years ago. when fresh, all of these seeds germinated over 90%. These tests proved once again that some kinds of seed lose their viability quicker than others. The onion seeds were practically dead when three years old, while the beet and lettuce seeds retained reasonably high germination. The carrot seeds had declined almost 50% in the three years but was still serviceable at a heavier seeding rate. These results are typical of many tests made. The point is that old seed should not be used before tested for germination. This may be done at home between two damp blotters or a sample may be sent to the nearest Dominion Seed Branch laboratory. BACON EXPORTS Regularity of supply is important and necessary in building up a trade connecion for Canadian bacon on the United Kingdom market and as an aid to keeping prices at a reasonably constant level, states -the. Canadian Animal Products Trade Commissioner in England. During 1937 there was more irregularity in Canadian shipments than during 1936. also a substantial spread in quantities. Bacon is a non-storable product, and as it handled in large volume an increase of 55% or over in imports in a few weeks' time makes it impossible to place this surplus on the market without causing price fluctuations. Canada is the only overseas bacon supplier out of 20 countries which has the freedom of the British market so far as volume is concerned, and her imports are easily the second largest, with Denmark leading.
