Growers of pure seed of an}' \ariety of farm crop who wish to be included 

 in this list should communicate with the Under Secretary, Department of 

 Agriculture, Sydney. 



|P It is especially desired to locate reliable sources of seed of Thew, Huguenot, 

 Firbank, and Florence wheats, Sunrise, Ruakura, and Guyra oats, and Cape 

 and Skinless barleys, the demand for seed of which for coastal green fodder 

 far exceeds the visible supply. 



When a farmer orders a box of bolts of a certain make and size he does not 

 expect to find a thin layer of the bolts specified on the top of the box and 

 assorted bolts underneath. In the world of commerce a manufacturer who 

 pursued such practices would soon be bankrupt. The same principle applies 

 to the sale of farm products. Before sending produce to market the farmer 

 should sort it as to (juality and size. It is estimated that in 1919 the potato 

 growers in Virginia increased their profits a half million dollars by grading 

 their produce. — U.S. Weekly News Letter.
