§ Lieut.Colonel Macnamaraasked the Minister of Agriculture to what extent there is a shortage of seeds for local cultivation of any sort in the present year; and what efforts are being made to meet it?
Mr. HudsonAdequate supplies of agricultural and vegetable seeds should be generally available for sowing this season though not in all cases in the same variety as before the war. To assist the seed trade to provide the quantitites and varieties desired, growers should place their orders immediately with their usual suppliers; this is particularly important in the case of seed corn required for spring sowing.
