“THE TRIUMPH OF

Red clover seed amounting to 75
tons was produced in the Sumas, Ni-
comen, Matsqui districts last year, but
very ttle of this was marketed in the
Bast, as it is not hardy enough to
weather a cold climate; Under these |
circumstances, local farmers should
plant a hardier variety, both for seed
production and for cattle fodder. This
advice was offered by D. Thompson
of the Dominion Government depart-
ment of agriculture seed branch, Van-
couver, in a talk before the local
Board of Trade on Monday.

Sumas is a good clover seed dis-
trict, Mr. Thompson said, but the clo-
ver hitherto grown there was of a var-
iety common in Southern Europe and
Italy, and would not find a ready
market in other parts of Canada. He
suggested cultivation of the hardier
seed grown in Bulkley Valley and
other parts of Northern British Col-
umbia,

Where 15 to 20 acres planted in the
Prince George district came through
the winter 100%, the local crop was
killed out. 5

Clover seed grown in B.C. realized

Shortage In Hay Weights

Need of public weigh scales in Ab-
botsford was stressed at Monday’s
Board of Trade meeting. A promin-
ent farmer told of buying hay which
was found 500 pounds short-weight in
1% tons. Bales in other loads weve
found to be 20 to 30 pounds short in
weight. Discussion arose about goy-
ernment tagging regulations, and the
Board resolved to report the shortage
to the government weights and mea-
sures department. L. V. Kenny and
Morris Pihl were delegated to inves-
tigate the matter and ascertain if the
Council or some business individual
would install public weigh scales in
the town.

Born.—To Mr. and Mrs. Husdon, of
Vancouver, in M.S-A. hospital on June
15, a daughter.

hypodermice of his big white fangs
his victims usually faint from sheer

shock. He stalks men, and gets
into places where men are accustomed
to go.

This year is the fifth time I have
seen him do it. We were in a week’s
camp site. The river was full of hun-
gry perai fish and we set up a bath
tent. On the fourth day, just before
bath time, there was a wild yell from
Jimmy, the tent boy. He had inter-
ed the tent to see that everything wa;
in order. He saw a snake pull his
head back from around the corner of
the tub, The men wrecked the tent
in getting at the snake with spears ana
machetes. The next day, at the same
hour, its mate crawled into the tent
and lay in wait. Jimmy entered

cautiously saw it first.

From dawn to dawn man has to be
on guard against things he sees, then
it may be too late. The jungle is ‘nev-

Hardier Clover Variety Needed on Sumas
Seed Inspector Makes Qualified Suggestions

$90,000 last year, other varieties of
seed $62,315 and flower seeds 28,000.

Of Canada's five chemical fertilizer
plants, the largest is in B.C., but the
bulk of its production is sold in Jap-
an and United States. Annual sales
in B.C. of fertilizer from Trail smel-
ter amounts to 10,000 tons.

Fraser Valley soll is highly acid, the
speaker said, and also required ade-
quate liming. To encourage this, the
Dominion government offered a sub-
sidy of 50 cents a ton to the farmer.

Weeds Cause Heavy Grading Loss

A more vigilant control of weeds in
clover was urged. Buckhorn, one of
these, would not screen or blow out,
and but two plants of curled dock two
an acre will reduce the grade from
one to two.

Careful check of oats that they be
true to type, was among other sugges-
tions, also that rye grass be tried
out here. Mangold seed, pumpkin
cabbage, beans, and sweet corn also
offered possibilities. Encroachment
of pea moth throughout the distric
discouraged hopes for a profitable pea
seed industry here.

Experimental plots of soy beuns
had been planted in Sumas lake lands
and the results would later be an-
nounced, the speaker said.

G. E. W. Clark, resident agricui-
turalist for the provincial government,
gave out information upon the prac-
tical possibilities of certain crops, aud
told of the progress in his field of
work.

May Organize Seed Fair Here

Suggestion was made that a round-
table meeting be held with a view to
endeavoring to establish a seed tair
in this part of the Valley. Morris
Pihl will convene this meeting on
June 29, in collaberation with Lieut.-
Col. Cope of the SS.B., the two go-
vernment agriculturists, and execut
ives of local agricultural associations.
