Of course, there are many 'that you cam profitably save yourself, such as corn, wheat, oats, occasionally" clover, soy beans, and a 'few of the garden seeds. If you do save your own, the most important things to watch are germination" and impurity, It is very essential to clean gathered seeds properly, so that all weeds ave eliminated. The storage place must be favorable as 'to temperature and moisture, so that vitality will not be lost. A cool, but never freezing, temperature is best, and dry air is much better than moist, But no matter how carefully you have kept your seed stocks, do not trust them. Every lot should have a germination test rather close to planting time to make sure that they haven't " ." Seeds have a tricky habit of doing that.

The main planting them, by means of the germ- ination test. There sre many kinds of germina- tors. Perhaps the simplest method for small seeds is to place the sample be tween two sheets of blotting paper, in a. plate, keeping it moist and in al warm place. © After a reasonable length of time, count the number of | seeds that do not sprout, and figure! your germination percentage.

If they test under 80 per cent., I would! seriously consider the extra cost nec- essary to get a perfect stand and the chances of losing the crop before planting them, Of course, a 'good deal depends on the nature of the crop.

A cold wet spell in early spring might rot seeds that germinated very high in a test. It pays to be on the safe side. Replanting is almost al ways more costly than the extra price necessary to get seeds that will grow. 1 could cite numerous examples of cent. Remember that field co 'the harmful' results caused by the introduction of dangerous weeds such as thistle in seeds of unknown quality, But, doubtless, you know of as many as I do. Quality in seeds, like quality in anything else, can seldom be bought at bargain prices. It is quite possible to buy seeds that are free of weeds and dirt, per fect in germination, and yet it would be poor economy to use them even il they were bought for a song. Would yom want to buy corn that is adapted only to a warmer climate than. that of Ontario? Or would you want seed wheat at $2.50 a bushel that wouldn't yield. over 26 bushels to the acre on the richest land, when $3 a bushel would buy pedigreed wheat that would yield 30 to 40 bushels to the acre on good land? Germination and mechanical purity wouldn't show the difference in these two wheats. Their difference goes deeper--it is due to purity of strain.
