The destruction by lire of tho conal building at Ottawa, which contained urain cleaning macl'ineiy and a laruo sti ck of seed gram for distribution, ii.ay make it necessary to curtail the dislribii- i ion to a certain extent.

Samples cannot bo sent in response to applications (no mut- ter when received), which fail to state cleaily the needs ni tho applicant, his expericneeM in crop raising and the char- actor of the soil on which ho intends to sow the seed.
