Warning to Farmers.

From numerous letters received ut
this Station 1t is evident that many
farmers have been victimized by
seed dealers who have unwittingly
furnished Bird seed rape instead of
Dwarf Essex rape seed for forage
purposes.
Farmers raising rape for forage,
SOW the Dwarf Essex variety. This
plant bears a thin, short stalk with
large succuleut leaves, which resent
BILE in appearance and in taste the
leaves of the rutabaga turnip. The
plant grows three feet high on good
soil, with leaves spreading about the
same distance.
Bird seed rape is a smaller plant
with slim, tough stalk, bearing a
few small leaves which are hairy on
top and yellow blossoms appear a
few weeks after seeding. The Bird
seed variety resembles the wild
mustard plant when in blossom.
The true forage rape does not bios
som or bear seed the same year it is
sowu.
II the farmer finds his rape field
bearing plants resembling wild mus
tard, with yellow blossoms, he may
be sure he has planted the wrong
kind of seed and shAuld plpw the
field AT once, sowing the Dwarf rs
sex variety gay time before the mid
die of July, w. l.. CARLNLE,

was laid through the waters Of mar
