Seed Oats Shortage Prompts Standard Change in Canada
The Seed Branch of the Dominion Department of Agriculture reports a shortage of about 1,209,000 bushels of seed oats across 34 Saskatchewan electoral districts mainly north of the CPR line, with no other seed shortages. Surpluses total about 40,000 bushels of oats, and George J. Clark suggests lowering the No. 3 grade standard to utilize plated No. 2 oats for seed on land infested with wild oats, potentially freeing substantial supply in Saskatchewan. In Manitoba, 11,000 bushels are short in 12 northern districts, while southern districts show a 97,600 bushel surplus, including 20,000 stored in Winnipeg. Lowering the standard could move this surplus northward.
