The seed of Arlo, Echo and Polar is being taken off the market because these varieties all produce rapeseed with intermediate levels of erucic acid for which there is no longer a market. There are two distinct markets for Canadian rapeseed. The main one is the edible oil trade which takes only rapeseed with a low erucic acid content. The other smaller market takes only rapeseed with a very high erucic acid content (40 Per cent and over). It is used for industrial oils. Alberta Agriculture recommends that only Polish rapeseed with an erucic acid content below per cent be sown except in those cases where a farmer has a contract for high erucic acid rapeseed. Argentine type rapeseed, planted at this late date, stands a good chance of being frozen next fall. - 30 - 11 ydlberra AGRICULTURE COMMUNICATIONS.
