Layers must be properly fed after maturity to maintain body weight which is positively nieces. sary if egg production is to be ac- complished. . A ‘ AM As it requires approximately 13) days or 6 months to mature the average pullet, they should be hatched in April or early May. If this was more generally practised, x'inter eggs would be more in evi- ence. Selection of latching Bags Select eggs for color, size and shape. the kind that are wanted for market. Do not handle them Unless your hands are clean. Never set dirty _eggs._ If it is necessary to hold théfin, keep in a cool dry 'lace about 50 L0 60 F. Do not keep ong- 01' than ten days. With the advent of Spring, On- tario farmers find themselves face to face with their age-old problem â€"-â€"where and how to procure their supply of good seed. A consultation of the crop statis- tics in possession of the Department of Agriculture reveals the fact that Western Ontario contributed over 75 per cent of the total production of clover and grass seeds for the Dominion in 1923. For 1924 an equally large percentage may be expected. In addition to this. the spring of HRS finds us with an ex- ceptionally fine 'supply of oats and wheat. This would indicate that a sufficient quantity of seed is avail- able, for our home use. Where then lies the problem? In the selection of seed, two con- sialerations always present a prom lrm to the farmer. These are, the suitability of the variety and the grade. Except in the case of a crOp in which the number of varieties in use is limited to one or two, the former is extremely important. For wars our experimental farms and stations haxe tested and selected all known varieties of our common crops. As a result, vast improve- ments are evident in some varieties, and it is shown definitely that cer- tain others are not suited to our soil and climatic conditions. Of those that thrive in our temperate climate. a further selection is some- times desirable according to local requirement.

A growing realisa- tion of this is. no doubt. develow a preference for home grown For instance, it would he very dif- ficult to sell a southern grown var- iety of alfalfa to the farmers in Peel County. This preference for Ontar- io grown alfalfa seed is spreading throughout the province, and as a result, this excellent forage crap is growing successfully in places that wtfire previously considered unsuit- a e. Less trouble is usually experienced with cereals. Any of the standard varieties which are on'ered on the market may be considered “safe. ” The grower would do well to beware of the agent who ofi'ers him a “mar- vellous new variety at the absurdly low price or three dollars a bushel. " There are no known varieties of our common grains with which our cer- ealists are not familiar, and any experimental station will be glad to classify .and give all available in- formation about the so-called new variety. Most of the difficulties in the sale of seed, especially of the small seeds, occur in connection with the grade. It is not lawful to sell for the pur- pose of seeding in Canada, clover or grass seeds unless they are graded and labelled properly. But in spite of this, the custom of buying seed from neighbors and relying only on their judgment for purity, is very common. Many a farmer who has bought and sown in this way has had ample. opportunity for leisure- ly repentance while roguing or sum- mer fallowing. to rid his fields of the noxious weeds. The Seed Branch of the Dominion Department of Agriculture is at the service of farmers and will investi- gate any complaint received from a purchaserâ€"free of charge. The lab- oratory for Western Ontario is lo- cated at 36 Adelaide Street, East, Toronto. Ont. Those having,seed for sale and requiring a grade should send two ounce samples to this address. Many complaints are received at harvest time of seed sown months previously. Investigation in a case of this kmd is always difficult and unsatisfactorv. The wideawake farmer will. make sure of the qual- ity of his seed before sowing and will not have cause to complain at this time. 10in the Experimental Union The Experimental Union, which has as its object the testing of new $1.00 $1.00 THE DURHAM CHRONICLE 5 lbs.
