Pra irle Grain Crops

Heavy grain crops in the Prairie Provinces and an outstanding in- crease in vegetable seed produc- tion in British Columbia were outlined in the annual provincial reports presented.

Manitoba wheat acreage in- creased 21 per cent last year com» flared with i941, while oats. bar- ley and flax acreage increased 13. 32 and 33 per cent respectively. Saskatchewan's bumper crop taxed storage facilities and difficulty was experienced cleaning seed for market. the report said. Record yielding grain and forage crops were produced in Alberta, though demand for oats, barley and flax exceeded the supply. The value ot'_ seed production last year was $560,885 compared with $153,- 608 in 1940. The report said the crop nevertheless was a disappoint- ment, since n niucli higher yield had been expected from the in-

creased acerzige. Producers of Swede turnip seed large group of i~s_~,*..:-

In the afternoon the guest speak- er was James Gallagher of the Dominion Experimental Station, Kentville, N.S.. who dealt with vegetable seed gi-oiving in the Mari-

mes.

In his address he stated that seed produced in the Maritime Provinces excels seed imported from any source outside the Maritimcs.

Speaking from 30 years practi- cal experience at the experimental station in Kentvillc, Mr. Gallagher said the first consideration of the seedman. whether grower or deal- er, should be to see that he used the variety most suitable for the

A report of the plant disease committee was presented by the chairman, Dr. G. A. Scott, of Ot- tawa.

The committee recommended that the authorities-concerned be re- quested to see that all seed 1m ported into the Dominion be "sub- jected to the same critical exam- ination for health conditions as is now practiced for high grade seed of domestic production."

The report said that annually large quantities of seeds are im- ported into Canada and "little if anything known about the of such seeds."

Dr. J. A. Clark, Superintendent of the Charlottetown experimental station spoke words of welcome to the delegates. He said that this province was "on the way" to» wards producing more vegetable and root seeds. Problems in con-

nection with cleaning the seeds were being cleared up. Out of the province delegates

were told that if they hgd sons looking for 0P rtunities a ter the war they cou probablv find them here in the seed producing busi- ness. There were "wonderful op- portunities" in that line.

The head of the experimental station here said that in times like these farmers "can't afford not to have the very best seed ob- talnable."
