P.

THE CANADIAN TRADE COMMISSION Ottawa, Apr! 3rd, 1919 TheCanadian Trade Commission's work has grown surprisingly in the last two weeks. information on Daily inquiries for market openings abroad are a feature of the corres pondence, showing a healthy readi- ness among firms to take up a new field of activity made apparent by the Canadian example in munition making and other war work. Their spirit and enterprise could not be improved. The Commission acts as a clearing house for such infor- mation, working band in hand with the Canadian Missicn in London and receiving cable and mail news from sevesal other sources. A second class of inquiry relates to the changes, complex in their rapidity, in British and foreign restrictions hy the war fo peace transition tegulations.

This is a question that should not be dodged by any farmer, The country is full of varieties about which koowh. These with seed.

The result in mest cases is that these various grains have degenerated White, K.C., W. F. Stephen, Robt. | . Miller, Robert Ness, J. M. Gard}.

Nobody had appendicitis. Nobody wife white shoes. Cream was five cents a pint. and the farmer is losing b acre through the use of varieties, 2 This condition is a survival of the days when one could find in any seed catalogue putnerous vatieties with: names suggestive of big yields and locrative profits. The travelling agent with Lis high priced grains who appeared annually with oid varieties under a new name shares the guilt of the enterprising seeds- man. This multiplicity of varieties, especially of those about which nothing is known, is a serious and unprofitable condition. The remedy is simple. There bas just: beeh issued by the Experimental Farms a revised list of recommended varieties for the various provinces of Canada. Only those that have demonstrated their superiority for a pumber of years are recommended, and without a doubt they are im- mensely superior to the archaic sorts now being grown in many localities. If you have not already received it, address a letter to the Dominion Cerealist, Experimental Farm, Ot- tawa, and a copy will be forwarded immediately. The Dominion Ceres- fist is also glad to assist any person in the procuring of seed of these varieiies., Every farmer should, while there 1s yet time before seed- ing. consider carefully the sorts of grain that he is pow growing, and if in the light of the revised list of va aniing, id take steps im- mediately to procure fresh seed of standard sorts. ---- gm NEWS OF THE WEEK FROM FAR AND NEAR Aount Allison, N.B., is undertak- ing to erect a Memorial Library in memory of all those who served in the war.
