Farmers ' Column.

A numbers of farmers have been sorely disappointed (says a northern exchange) with their seed purchases lately made. One farmer bought a large quantity of grass seed sometime ago, which bearded beautifully, and ha had a good Held of grass, but now he finds he ha 3 purchased annual seed, and much to his disgust ha had to plough up the ground, but this time he will takecare'thathe knows where the seed ia grown. This is not the only case we could mention as regards this, and it. is a great pity that an example is not made of the seed sellers who are the culprits. Another case that has come under our notice i 3 this : A farmer bought a quantity of turnip seed as he thought, which hs sowed, and the seed grew, but he has now discovered that it was not the true seed, being known as a Maori turnip, which, when once rooted into the ground is a very difficult job to get out. It is viewed by the farmers with us much disgust ag the couch uraqs, and ia even worse than it. We should advise settlers ito beware where the seed is grown, as it ia a matter of much importance.
