Tobacco Seedbeds for Steaming (Experlmcnal Farm News) A good supply of uniform, healthy seedlings helps in saving labour at transplanting time end permits a good start wward a paying crop of flue-cured tobacco. Patchy or un- oven seedbeds are ll ntly the steaming, says FA Stimson. 0i- ficer-in-Chlsrge, Dominion Ebzper- lniental Sub-Station, Delhi, Ont. To destroy disease organisms and weed seeds by steaming, the soil should be loose and just moist enough to crumble when moved. Ordinary sieaming has little effect on frozen, wet,,packed or very dry soil. Steam moves more freely through sand than muck. The greenhouse that has been m all winter should be closed t the third week of February to give it time to thaw out. If there is proper drainage the soil will be in condition to work up a. few days after the frost is all out. In greenhouses that, have been closed all winter it is well to water the beds thoroughly a few days be- fore starting to prepare them. One of the benefits from improved soil- molsture conditions lies in start- ing germination of disease spores and weed seeds. thus mflklns m?!" more readily destroyed bv heat.

But we can let that pass. What is wrong is the inferior econo ' l position of the farmer, as com-- pared with the rest of the nation. Here are the statistics for a quarter of a century. Between the years 1915-1919. the farm population was 4-9ths of that of Canada. and received 1-3rd of the national income. Between i919 and i926 it was difficult to get statis- ics; there was s. boom followed by a great depression. From 1926 to B80. the farm population had fai- ien to 1-3rd of the nation. and the farmirlcomc was l-Gtli that of the notional income. From 1960 to 1940. the farm porpula/tion was still one-third of the whole, but re- ceived only i-wth of the national income! A little more arid we might have claimed kinship with the Saxon serfi Since 1940 there has been a great improvement in farm incomes. but this must, the nature of things. be only of a temporary character unless the great body of farmers displays more cohesion than hith- erto.
