Apparent sound- ness of the tubera does not con- stitute any guaranty of freedoni from diseases, because virus dis- eases, cannot be recognized in the tuber. The only way ta be sure of seed practically free froni these troubles is ta buy certified seed. Certified seed potatoea are po- tatoes that have been grawn ex- pressly for seed purposes. They are 0f good type, true ta variety, and are selected froni vigorous planta grown in fields that were inspected for diseases during the growing season. Official tags are used exclusively for such seed stock and no other type of label carnies official recognition of seed potatoes. If the official "Certified Seed Potato" tag is not on every container. the potatoes should not be accepted as certified seed. New 'Regulations Certified seed potato growers in Canada have been advised that tthe 1942 regulations governing the production of seed potatoes, drawn up in the fall of 1941 to be effective in 1942 as additional safeguards against diseases, have been altered by the suspension of two of the regulations during 1942. The first of the regulation which will not be effective in 11942 is "A field will not be in- spected for certification if any field on the same farm is planted wvith non-certified seed. AiU fields on the farm must be entered for seed certificetion." Although this regulation will not be in effect in 1942, growers, however, will be required to state on their application for f ield in- spection forms the acreage and variety of àll fields on the farm that are not entered for seed cer- tif ication. BONUS EGGS FOR BRITAIN For the purpose of encouraging Canadian egg producers to supply the maximum quantity of the best quality eggs for Britamn dur- ing 1942, the Agricultural Sup- plies Board has been authorized under an Order in Council to pay a bonus of 3 cents per dozen an all Grade A eggs purchased for export under the present agree- ment with the British Mmnistry of Food. An additional bonus of h/ cent per dozen will be paid for oil dipping such eggs, a process which helps retain the quality. Existing contracts with the Bn- tish Ministry caîl for the dehivery of at least 1,272,000 cases of eggs in 1942. At the present time egg dealers supplyinig eggs for Bni- tain are receiving the coatract price of 29 cents for Grade A Large and 28 cents for Grade A Medium at seaboard, plus the three-cent bonus paid by the Canadian Government. Export- ers are, in effect, receiving 32 cents for Grade A Large eggs at seaboard and buying levels froma producers throughout Canada are based on that price. The Domin- ion Department of Agriculture rnaintains a careful check on prices to ensure that the benefit of the' bonus is passed on ta the producer. The question is often asked - 'Why is the bonus not paid direct Lo the producer?" The answer is twofold. First, il is impossible in a product as widely produced as eggs, to determine which pro- ducer's eggs have gone int ex- port packs. Secondly, if the bonus were paid to producers it would go only to those wbose eggs went for export. The' majority, whose eggs are sold at home, would, therefore, not benefit. Under the present method ahl producers, wbether their eggs are sold at hiome or for export,' receive the benefit of the bonus. This is s0 because the domestic market, in order ta procure eggs, must pay the equivalent of tkie export price, which is augmente'd by the' bonus.: The bonus will be limited ta Grade A since the British Minis- try is aslking that no less than 87 per cent of the eggs under the spring contract be 0f that quality as contrasted with a division of 60 per cent A and 40 per cent B taken under the 1941 spring con- tract. The' effect of the bonus assures egg producers of a stabilized price throughout 1942 for top quality eggs. The bonus will not be paid on Grade B and Grade C eggs. PLANT HERB GARDEN FOR SEASONING In the days before the' war to bave a herb garden was more of a pleasant hobby than a necessity because spices and seasonings could be bought from the grocer cheaply and suitably packaged. But the war bas changed the sit- uation and it niay now be wise and thrifty for the housewife ta grow ber own seasanlngs. Our pioneer grandmothers grew sever- ah of their own herbs. They had ta do so or go wlthout. In those days ships were flot bringing pep- per from Java, cinnamon fromn East Africa and Madagascar, and ginger froni China, or Janiaica or West Africa. And now in these war days shipa have more impor- tant cargoea ta carry than abun- dant quantities of spices and sea- sonings. Every housewife knows that good seaaoning is important ta give foods the desired flavor. Sa it wauld seeni that it wauld be wise this spring ta set aside a cor- ner of the garden for growing herbs and seasoning. There's a number of hardy herba easy ta grow. Sanie are perennials and once started will keep coming year after year. Sanie herbs such as parsley, chives and marjarani, can be dug up in the' faîl, and grawn indoors aIl winter. A space of 4 by 12 feet or at moat 4 by 20 will be large enaugh to graw all the seasanings for an average size faniily and silîl have. sanie ta spare. It is nat necessary ta put in niany planta of any one kind. The sail of the' herb garden should be fairly rich, well drained and well fertilized. Sanie herba like mint and tbyme dont need to niuch sun; athers like chives and tarragan need plenty of sun. Sanie of the sweet herbs hîke niarjorarn and basil, whichi origiaally came froni warm cauntries need warmth, sunshine and maîst sali. They shauld nat be planted out- doors %untîl after the danger of froat la passed. Suggestions for growing a few berbs for seasoning are: On the annual ide of the herh garden, parsley, summer savory, basil, sweet niarjarani and dill, and nasturtiumn and anise niay be grawn. On the perennial side plant sage, mint, thyme, chives and tarragan. These herbs will provide the seasanings that wil do ta flavor everytbing from soup ta dessert.
