This is the best method of ensuring that the seed is free of the seed-borne bacteria that cause bacterial spot, bacterial speck and bacterial canker. Bacterial spot has become more prevalent in the last few years in Ontario. Agricultural Parts Depots Farm machinery parts depots should be maintained by eaCh manufacturer and provincial distributor-of farm machinery in Ont. according-to. the Board of Governors of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture. Because of considerable misinterpretation of the general recommendations far a Farm Machinery Act that the O.F.A. presented to the provincial government last fall, the Governors have now made more specific proposals. It was not the original intent of the O.F.A. recommendations to tell either the government or the farm machinery industry exactly what regulations should be contained in the act but to state the farmers' requirements. The first of these would provide for the availability of repair parts and service when needed. This could be done by manufacturers and provincial distributors providing at least one major parts depot in Ontario that could supply repair parts to local dealers on short notice six days per week. The Governors feel each depot should have a skeleton staff on duty Saturdays and holidays during the main production season. Also that all parts be stocked for at least ten years from the date of sale. "This would not only be of great value to farmers", says President William G. Tilden of the O.F.A., "But should assist local dealers in supplying the service for which they have always been famous. To my certain knowledge, many farm equipment dealers would welcome a Farm Machinery Act that contains such a regulation." Other specific recommendations for a Farm Machinery Act made by the O.F.A. Governois include the establishment of a provincial board to supervise the testing of all farm machinery offered for sale in Ontario and to enforce the use of standard Purchase Forms containing a Warranty; to provide an inspection service to ensure the enforcement of regulations; and to publish the reports of all tests so that prospective buyers could base their purchase on known, independent use studies.
