Potato Inspection 



IN the May-Tune number of the Agricultural 

 Gazette of Canada, tlie Division of Botany, 

 Dominion E.xperimental Farms Branch,tells of 

 the work that has been carried on in potato- 

 field inspection and certification. Most of the 

 seed-growing districts were inspected twice. 



An analysis of the figures for 1920 and 1921 

 given in the article shows an increase in the per- 

 centage of acres passed last year over those of 

 the preceding yeiir, a fact that is attributed to 

 the employment of improved methods of seed 

 growing and to the more general use of certified 

 seed. Ontario showed up best in 1921, having a 

 percentage of acres passed of 88.6 as compared 

 with 54.2 in 1920, when Nova Scotia was on 

 top with a percentage of 78.6 as against last year. 

 Manitoba came second in 1921 with a percentage 

 of 84.8 aganst 46.3 in 1920. Nova Scotia was 

 third and New Brunswick fourth in 1921. 

 Prince Edward Island was second in 1920 with a 

 percentage of 59.0 but in 1921 fell a little behind, 

 the percentage being 56.2. The other provinces 

 came in this order last year: Alberta, Sask- 

 atchewan and Quebec. The two first mentioned 

 of these three had no fields inspected in 1920, 

 but Quebec increased from a percentage of 21.7 

 in 1920 to a percentage of 42.0 in 1921, an im- 

 provement which Is the more marked because
