TURNEY Phone G3r3 COLBORNE USE ONLY THOROUGHLY CLEANED AND GRADED SEED (Experimental Farms Note) There could be no better proof th-.it' thoroughness in cleaning and grading seed grain is worth while than that which lies in the fact that the use of high quality seed is becoming more and more a general practice among growers The principle of cleaning and grading seed has many times been shown to be sound. The practice of cleaning and grading entails little labour and relatively little expense in equipment. The use of good seed then is a matter which the good farmer cannot overlook as a means of producing larger and better crops. The fannng mill, which was once referred to by someone as the farmers' "plant breeder" helps to maintain the high quality of a crop as well as to offer a means of keeping down weeds. The work ordinarily done by a fanning mill consists first of removing the light kernels and some trash with a blast of air from the fan, second with a complete set of selves the smaller seeds can be separated out, as well as miscellaneous material consisting of grain of other cereal crops, if such be present. With the coming of central cleaning plants, many farmers are able to take their grain to be cleaned and graded at comparatively small cost. Those who are fortunate enough to live within hauling distance and do not care to purchase equipment of their own, can make use of the central plant. These plants, of course, are necessarily somewhat better equipped to handle large quantities of seed in a short space of time and also to make a more thorough job, particularly of removing mixtures of different kinds of grain. None of the cereal crops requires cleaning and grading so much as do oats. The nature of the crop, containing as it does large numbers of small kernels and in the unfavorable seasons many light, poorly filled kernels, makes it all the more important to use the fanning mill very generously with this grain. Dirty grain which may give the appearance of being very unsuitable for seed may often be cleaned and graded into an excellent seed sample It is quite often better economy to "lean up a dirty lot of home grown <rrain than to purchase seed elsewhere, ^here is always the danger of introducing other varieties as well as "weed strangers" when seed is brought in from another source unless h is bought under certification. Too much care cannot be taken nor too much attention given when it "omes to preparing the seed for spring sewing. R. A. Derick, Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa, Ont.

Labour is often heedlessly wasted because farmers have not calculated the hours of manual labour that they could save by using, on farms having sufficient acerage, implements drawn by three or four horses instead of In many cases the time of a could be saved by using, for example, a two or three-furrow plow, multiple section harrows, or a double cultivator. For the cutting and hauling of hay or grain, much labour could b economized through the use of large implements, as these implements ar ordinarily used during several day of each year. The average time per acre required for different operations performed four horses as compared v nth those drawn by two horses, is as follows: 3 or 4 horses 2 horses Disking...... 2.0 3.5 Plowing...... 4.0 7.0 Harrowing .... 0.5 1.0 Seeding....... 0.7 1.2 Cultivating (4tim,es) 4.0 8.0 Mowing...... 1.0 1.3 Raking ...... 0.7 1.0 Hauling of grain and hay 4.0 6.0 Hauling of corn 18.0 25.0 . On a 200 acre farm w lere a 5-year rotation is followed and of which 15 acres are seeded to c of other hoed crops, 65 acres to grain and 80 acres to hay, an average of S00 to 850 hours of man labour equal to 80 to S5 ten-hour days can be saved yearly solely through the use of re power- ful implements. The labour which is saved could be used for other lines of work which are often neglected because of the lack of time, or the tilled area might be extended and thus increase the ifarmjer's income. In most cases it would not be necessary to increase the number of horses on the farm for such a change. lit is readily understood that tbe farmer who already owns a complete set of agricultural equipment is not ready to sell it as a whole in order to buy larger implements, but as he gradually replaces his equipment, he would be wise to consider the advisability of buying, even at an increased cost, three or four-horse rather than two-horse machines.
