Distribution of Samples of Seed Grain. To the Editor of the OBSERVER. Dear Sir,-- Under instruction of the Hon. Minister of Agriculture another sample of the best and most roductive sorts of cereals,&c ,is now being made from the Central Ex- perimental Farm, Ottawa. The distribution will consist, as hereto fore, of samples of oats, spring wheat, barley, field pease, Indian corn and potatoes. Each sample will weigh three pounds. The quality of the seed will be the best, the varieties true to name, and the packages will be sent free to appli- cants, through the mail he object in view is the improvement of the character and quality of the rain, &c., grown in Canada, an effort widely appreciated, and the choiee ol varieties sent out will be confined to those which have been found to succeed well at the Exper- imental Farms. These samples will be sent*only to those who apply personally, lists of names from societies or individals cannot be considered." Only one sample of one sort can be sent to each applicant, hence if an indiv- idual yeceives a sample of oats he cannot receive one of wheat or barley. Applications should be be sent at any time before the 15t of March, after which date the lists will be closed, sb that the samples asked for may be sent out 'in good time for sowing. Parties writing will please mention the sort of grain will be sent in its place. Farm free of postage. Ww.
