The purpose of seed treatment is to kill the disease organisms on tlle surface of the seed ,potatoes and prevent them from ifflurlng the crop or infecting the soil. if the soil is already infected, seed treat- ment cannot entirely prevent in- jury. but will help especially if ciups are rotated.

The Wool CrFpT” At Its Best

Prospects for shew‘ Pl'°d\l°'~l°': have never been better than at Uh present time.

There is a marked shortage of W00] in the worlds markets. Canada shows a decrease of 1,000,000 head in sheep since 1921 which means a aher-P de- crease in our wool production. A “bu; prepared -by Sir Arthur Gold- finch, who is one of the leading ‘wool eXpEFlS in the world, com- ipafeg pie-WEI‘ production of wool‘ with ihnpoi 1921 and ‘indicates a shortage of approximately 500.000,- 000 ‘lbs. This decline was still more aggravated in 1924, all avail‘ able figures indicating that further decreases have occurred in the worlds sheep population. Conse- quently, it will rbe many years be- ‘fore we shall ‘be ‘back to normal conditions. Therefore, iihe present outlook for Canada's 1925 wool clip is good.

since the Dominion Live Stock Branch inaugurated in 1014 the ac- coptcd system of marketing wool by grade 40,000,000 lbs. have ‘been officials of the Branch, them-by obtatning for the farmers having their wool graded approximately $2,000,000 ‘more than was paid to those ‘who sold on a iia-t ‘basis. Through this method Oi marketing, (‘anadahas ‘gained a line reputation for her wool on the ‘world's market. Last year 1.0001- 000 lbs. were sold in London, Eng- land, and some of it. ibrought the highest prices ‘llaid at the Septem- ber SillUS. Thts result could never have been ziccompllsheil under our old system ot- marketing. The writer hnd the privilege of inter- Vll‘\\‘lll{-', iiie ‘broker in London who sold our wool. He was assured that there would be a ready marker for Cainailinit wool in large quantities as our grades are suitable for the British and Continental trade.

I Some farmers huve an idea that ‘Viii the fleeces are not lprcparedwith the fleece tying box they ‘will be cut in ‘grade. This in a wrong idea. Although we like to see lllc fleeces nicely tied it ‘does not alter the grade. Do not however, tie with ‘hinder twline as thy doing so you -w‘ill cause trouble to the trade and spoi-i the cloth that may ibe manu- factured. Use Ipuper twine; this can ‘be obtained ‘from your Agricul- ‘iural Representative. ‘Shear on a clean floor, lay ‘the fleece out with the cut side next to the floor, lurii the two sides into the centre, roll from head to centre and from tall to centre, ‘then take one strand or ‘pa-per ‘twtne, pass it round the cen- tre and over the ends and tic, put it into a sack. if you have twenty five fleeces get ‘a wool sack from your Representative. together ‘with shipping ‘tugs and address it to your nearest ‘grading station, freight collect. Be sure to qiutsluh ‘attached to shipping tag ‘inside the sack to prevent trouble in the event of ‘the address being ‘iorn off during ‘transit.

Any farmer who has his sheep shorn should forward the wool at once to the Canadian Co-operative Wool Growers Ltd. Weston, Ont. This grading station ‘is open allthe year round. To railsc good "wool and laim-b it is essential to dip. castrate and dock. You cannot ‘grow good wool and lambs with ‘the ticks and lice worrying them to death. Neglecting to dl‘p should be a punishable offence here as it la in Scotland. When over thene re- cently we saw a notiice warning sheepraisers who did not'dlp their sheep by a certain date they would

During the, first nine ‘mon-ths of i024 we im- ported wool lo ‘the value oi $7.183, 595. With a larger sheep popula-l tion most of that amount could b‘ ‘- retained. Now that we have a‘ good reputation for our ivonli-i, niil only in Canada b-tt nu the -world's wool market. the iii-lure of out‘ sheep ilndustry is assured. Through | co-operatlvi- marketing and grad~| lug we can get. large quantities of wool of grades that attracts the largest buyers. The Canadian Co- operative \\'ool Growers is a farm- ers‘ organization and sells the wool after it has been graded by ilhe Dominion Live Stock Branch wool experts. That organization kee-ps in touch with the world's wool markets and is in imposition ‘to obtain. for the farmers market- ing their wool ‘by grade, the ‘best prices ruling.
