Corn in flour mix will reduce wheat imports by Italy Atchison Giddings Raikes wire Broomhall comment Argentine and Australia combined have approximately bushels of wheat remaining for Export until the new crops Are ready next december. Although this Quan Tity is not Large it will probably be sufficient for the reduced for eign buying Power which has prevailed recently. The italian government estimates wheat production at Home this year to be bushels. Home requirements Are usually reckoned at bushels but this year the consumption of wheat has been reduced by the addition of Corn flour in the mixture so that imports of wheat Are expected to be much less than originally forecast by Commer Cial experts. Though the 1936 crop was very Small the following year a very arge crop was harvested and imports have been Cut Down to around bushels compared to taken the preceding season. Next season s imports Are expected to be under bushels according to official reports.

Cora Hind at the recent annual meeting of the Canadian seed growers association at Guelph among other matters of importance Dis cussed was the great need of a seed purchasing commission. As matters Are at present the number of growers of see which can be government inspected in the Field later registered certified and sealed is steadily increasing. Also the number of Farmers who desire to use such seed is increasing which i very much to the but the dates at which the producers wish to sell purchasers Are ready and Able to buy Seldom synchronize. Therefore there is danger that due to financial conditions the pro Ducer of High class seed May be compelled to sell through Commer Cial channels where the seed cannot be protected from contamination producer gets less for it than its real value. Again almost every year there is a shortage of seed in some districts. How great that shortage and by what plan it is to be met May take weeks or even several months to decide. By the time a decision is reached All the Best seed May have been Dis posed of Opportunity of planting High class seed in districts which had a whole or partial crop failure the previous year be lost. In a season such As 1937-38, this condition has been very marked. With no seed buying commission ready to function when threshing was started producers were Appeal ing to first one government and then another provincial or do minion to do something and for a time there was grave danger that much of the rust resistant wheat would get out of the country before local needs were sufficiently protected. Even when action was taken All did not go Well and de livery of seed to Many sections was late and towards the last varieties of wheat not rust Resis for example As red distributed in some sections far too near the Southern Border to be Safe from infection should a rust epidemic occur. No need to remind Western Canadian Farmers that a late crop is far More susceptible to rust damage than a Strong and Early maturing one. This is not a pleasant thought for the Day. It must not be thought for a moment that in recommending a permanent seed purchasing com Mission the Canadian seed grow ers association is asking any government handout. On the contrary they Are pointing the Way by which the government May place itself in a position to increase the use of better seed thereby encouraging higher yields of better wheat from smaller acreages and at the same time earn a fair interest on the Money advanced for the project. F. L. Dickinson speaking of be half of the Canadian seed growers association before the Turgeon com Mission quoted from the report of the Dominion minister of agriculture. 1923, As follows the seed purchasing commission operating from october the close of the War distributed More than 10 million bushels of seed Grain in the Prairie provinces and More than one million bushels in the Eastern provinces. In addition the commission filled substantial orders for seed Grain for Export during the period of the War. Approximately was advanced to the commission during Thi period for merchandising purposes All of which was promptly refund to the received general together with a surplus of More than which is sufficient to pay a operating expenses and a fair rat of interest on the Money employee the total office operating Cost. Amounted to less than one per Cen per Bushel of the seed Dis judge Turgeon was sufficiently impressed with this statement o actual facts1 to dwell on it on Page 112 of the report of the Royal Grain inquiry commission of 1938 As Fol or. F. L. Dickinson vice presi Dent of the Canadian seed growers association presented a Well documented and helpful Brief for tha association describing their Regul la tory efforts in the development and distribution of pure High qual Ity seed. The association evidently serves a commercially useful Pur pose. A permanent seed purchasing commission similar to that which operated for a number of year october 1916, Onward was advocated to help the financing of see growers to Deal with seed shortage and to avoid As far As possible the use of unsatisfactory seed -Grain., Canada is fortunate in havin. Strict regulations governing the production distribution of pure seed Grain. Be cause pure seed of Good varieties is a Basic consideration in obtain ing a Quality production and fur ther because Quality is so important in our Export supplies. I hav no doubt the activities of this association will continue to receive the Best attention of the govern thus did the idea of the Perman ent seed purchasing commission receive the More or less direct endorsement of the Grain inquiry com Mission. It is to be hoped that this Matte of a permanent seed purchasing commission will be taken in Ham at once. There is time to have i in operation for the crop of 1938 time but none too much time i the confusion and delay of 1937-31 is not to be repeated in 1939-40. The plan of the old commission which worked admirably is there to follow. Elevator storage is Avail Able at strategic Points. There is no legitimate excuse for not having a Well organized see purchasing commission ready to function when the wheels of the first separator begin to turn nex september.
