This is more timothy and red clover seed than has been produced by any other district in the North, and it is more alsike than has been produced by the other ten districts put together. For some reason the annual producâ€" tion of alsike in particulat, has been more uniform and consistent than in of the other districts. general, Timmins High and Vocational School is: as good a place to search in, or to ignore in as any school we hbave seen. The district of Temiskaming is in diâ€" rect contract to Cochrane, in so far as the production of small seeds is concerned, in that as nearly as we can learn this district, during the «last third of a century, has produced about five and oneâ€"quarter million pounds each of timothy, and alsikeâ€"seed; over one and oneâ€"quarter million pounds of red, but only about 10,000 pounds of alfalfa. This increases the risk in seed proâ€" duction, in that if a twoâ€"ton per acre first cut. crop of red clover is left for seed, and the set of seed happens to be poor, the loss is quite considerable, and ‘a few experiences like this, disâ€" courage further trials, The forage crop seed production in this dstrict is therefore limited each year to a few‘ tons of timothy seed, a few thousand pounds of red clover, even less alsike, about 1,000 pounds each of sweet clover ad alfalfa, and from 5,000 to 10,000 pounds of mixed seed. For example in experiments: conâ€" ducted at the Dominion Experimental Station, Kapuskasing, Ontario, it was foynd that the second cut of red clover matured. so late that in three out of five years, the weather was unâ€" suitable for the. curing of the crop for seed.. It would, therefore, be lergely the first cut of red clover that would beâ€"saved for seed. ‘This has not been because timothy, red and alsike clover do not grow satâ€" isfactorily. _ In fact they all grow reâ€" markably well. . Neither alfalfa or sweet clover have been grown to any extent. Perhaps the weather in this district is not as ‘favourable for the harvesting, curing and threshing of these seeds as it is in some of other districts. s of crop. production has never been even , vfewed seriously in ‘this distâ€" rict.

In view of the fact that alsike seed: ls produced only: on‘ the ‘first crop, it is possible that the production of ‘this seed in commercial quantities should be largely limited to ‘those disâ€" tricts, as well as to the paricular areas within those districts, where it has ‘been found in the past to do best, and give the largest yie}da,; P e ah s is + /s alh w A ® m A m as firite experimental work should be undertaken in an effort to determine the exact cause of such tremendous variation in the amount of seed being obtained year to year, and thus if pouihle suggest a remedy for same. 14.

Perhaps most of thisâ€"change has been brought about by the greater use of combines in harvesting, and threshâ€" ing the for #eed.

In ‘view of the relative low price of this seed over a long period‘of years compared with the price of other forâ€" age crop seeds, it is very doubtful if any immediate material expansion â€"or increase in the total quantity of seed produced would be in the best interâ€" est of Northern Ontario agriculture. 3. About 65% of the total red clover seed in the North has been produced by the three districts of Temiskaming, Rainy River and Kenâ€" ora. M 4. The greater use of combines in harvesting this crop has been responâ€" sible for a material increase in the quantity of seed produced from the second crop in Temiskaming District. 5. Considering the scarcity of and the high price being paid for red clover seed, it would appear that the farmers in each and : every district in the North should strive to become more nearly self sustained in their seed requirements for this seed. 6. If and when a material surplus does exist in one or more districts, there is every indication that this could be disposed of to advantage, and at a fair price. | 7. When the price of red: clover seed becomes unusually high there appears to be a great tendency on the part of farmers to reduce, both the number of acres seeded and the avâ€" erage amount of seed sown per acre. This is having, and will continue to have, a very inimical effect on the yield and quality of the. resultant crop for live stock, especially for dairy MISS LINDSTROM ...
