 ing. The creeks about town are run- 

 ning with a good volume of water. 

 Soap Lake is rising and is close to the 

 San Felipe road. Not only are the val- 

 leys well clothed with verdure, but the 

 herbage on the mountains and in the 

 canyons looks beautiful also, with its 

 change from brown to green, and the 

 warm rains with the fresh feed has 

 commenced to stimulate the stock, all 

 of which seems to be taking on addi- 

 tional flesh and strength.

A CANNES 'S VIEW OF SEEDS. 



It does us good, sometimes, to see 

 ourselves as others see us, and it will 

 be interesting to note that, to one can- 

 ner at least, all seeds look alike — be- 

 cause to get good seeds they must all 

 come from the same place! The speaker 

 was J. J. Nairn, general manager of the 

 Dominion Canners, Ltd., Hamilton, Ont., 

 and the following is an extract from his 

 talk to last week's canners' convention 

 at Milwaukee: 



"It may not be generally known, but 

 it is a fact that practically all the field 

 roots, both vegetable and flower seeds, 

 are imported into Canada. The main 

 sources of supply are Germany, France 

 and Great Britain and the United 

 States. In the process of seed growing, 

 specialization is common, and if the 

 seedsmen in Canada want the best in
