[UTIFY THE HOME GR0llNDS GOOD SHRUBS FOR THE FARM LAWN MU" AND JEFFâ€"By Bud Fisher. BY LIONEL STEVENSON 5000 acres and from imports of 15.000 'busheln to an export at 60.000 ’bushels. . Referring to the work of the Seed Branch of his Deportmt-nt the Min- ister notes that barley seed is receiv- ing special attention in Northern Ontario, where the crop does par- lticulnrly well. that in the Solagirth 'diotrict of Manitoba when.- u centm has been organized for the production of seed oats. yields of 100 bushels per acre have been secured. that it ‘has been found possible to supply lather districts with superior seed, -and that efforts are being made to- wards the encouragement of the pro- duction of timothy soc-d. Kentucky blue gram and fescuefi to displace their importations. in this connection it should be noted that the Dept. of Agriculture at Ottawa has published n convenient pocket edition of the Seeds Act, l923, which farmers and soil cutivutors generally would do well to possess themselves of. and which can be had free of all cost by merely dropping an unstnmped postal card to the Publications Branch at the Nation's capital. In Eastern Canada summer-fallow ii“ less often employed than it used ito be. but according to a bulletin of ‘the Dept. of Agriculture on Crop [Rotations and Soil Management {or ‘Eastern Canada It is a very useful method of eradicating weeds. espe« cially where the land is badly infest- ed and where time and labor will not permit the necessary cuTtivation to handle the weeds in the regular rotaâ€" tion. Where the method is to be used the lnnd, if it has not been plowed in the fall should be plowed as early as possible in the spring. It is important to wItivate very frequent- ly and thoroughly in order to prevent the weeds from getting a start. The use of a cultivator which will tear up the roots to the surface where they will be killed by the sun is very necrsmr)‘. It is usually wise to plow the land twice during the season in order to kill the weeds with under- ground roots stocks and to bring the weed seeds from the lower depths to the surface where they germindte and are killed. Buy to Grow end Sell. Cladioli like you see a! the florists and which usually sell for about $5 a dozen are as easy for the farm wife to grow as onions. The bulbs divide and multi- ply very rapidly.
