All the grain sent out will be carelully' cleaned and true to name. To prevent the disappointment which occurs when parties receive samples of l varieties they already have, it would [be well for each person applying to name two or three sorts which he would prefer, aranging them in the order ot preference; When, in case the stock ot the first named variety is exhausted the scccnd or third could be substituted. As it is proposed to only send these samples on personal, single. application, it is important that every farmer who d. sires a sample should apply for him. self. Lists of names will not be con- sidered. All letters addressed to the Central Farm at Ottawa may be sent free of postage, and the samples weigh- ing three pounds each will be sent tree to the applicants, through the mail. The distribution will begin early in December, and as the stock is limited and the applications will be filled in the order in which they are received, those sent in early will have the ad. ,Vantagc.

The annual distribution of samples of some of the best varieties of seed grain to farmers, tor test in different parts of the Dominion, has, during the past ten years done much to direct attention to the importance ot sowing the best sorts oi seed, and in many sections of the country this introdue. tionof new sorts has resulted in a de. cided iniyroveinent in the yield and quality ofthe grain produced. Nearly ‘all the varieties sent out are grown on the ExperimentalEnrins and are sel eeted ironiainong those which, after being submitted to careful and repeat- ed tests, have produced the largest crops of grain of good quality. Having received instructions from the Honourable Minister of Agriculture to continue this useful work and make another distribution during the Coming season, I shall be pleased to receive applications from all who desire sam- ples.
