COMM UNICATION. U
ditor of the CouR1ER-DEMocRAp:-

Editor OF the COURIER -DEMOCRAB:-
| In your last issue was pleased to see
the communication OF Mr.. John Mahon,
on the question Of damp or winter
threshed grain for seed. To me the ques-
tlon Of proper seed for 1899 seems to ba
a very serious one for our farmers and
business men OF Cavalier county. Aside
from the fact that much OF the crop OF
1898 was thresh-d or stacked in damp
condition, which experience has taught
many OF us makes it very doubtful for
seed, there is but little OF eur crop land
plowed and prepared for seeding. This
no doubt will result, as it always has, in
much land being rushed into crop with
very poor cultivation, under which con-
ditions it would be reasonable to believe
that to stand any chance OF q fair crop
good, strong healthy seed would be ne
cessary. lii, think, 1892. or possibly
1898, purchased for one of my farms
here at LaDgdon some very nice looking
wheat which had been threshed in Janu-
ary. This wheat was plump. fully ma
tured and of nice color, hut had a small
amount OF ice in 1t. AS soon as bought
it in February it was cleaned through a
tanning mill, practically removing all ice
and was run through the mill again in
April before seeding commenced, " hen il
seemed to be in fine condition. This
wheat was sown aud don't think that
more than une-third oft ever sprouted.
The adjoining land on the same quarter
section was sown with wheat that was
not nearly as good i'll appearance, being
slightly frosted, but threshpd early and
Was perfectly dry. 1t produced fine
crop. find from enquiry among my
customers that many Of them have had
similar unsa tisfactory experiences with
damp seed, also with winter thrpshpd
seed, which was apparently dry. III my
estimation no farmer can afferd to take
the chances OF seeding with grain, re
garding the termination OF which there
is any doubt. The cost OF good dry seed
per acre is so small compared with the
possible and probable loss. Tests OF
OF grain Intended for seed can be made,
but toomuch confidence should noe be
pnced i'll those tests as the conditions OF
temperature, air, light, ect., must be
very dssimiar, hope that tourfarmers
will fully discuss this matter ard adopt
every precaution necessary to avoid such
"a disaster as even partial loss OF the
crop OF 1899, would cause.
Dated at Langdon, January II, 1899.
Yours Truly,
JAS. MCPHA1I..
