I would say that immediate action is rot only wise but vitally nev-essary." This was the recent statement of .\rthur H. Martin, Assistant Director Crops and Markets Branch. The shortage of seed grain, and the fact that many registered growers have exhausted their surplus, are clearly indicated by figures included in a survey made by this official of the Department. Available supplies of registerct? seed grain in Ontario as of February 26, according to the survey follow: Oats, approximately 7,800 bushels; barley, some 3,600 bushels; and some- what less than 500 bushels of spring wheat. .\ sunny heart makes a sunny world.
