TESTING THE SEEDS.
EXPERIMENTS TO BE MADE AT TIE
PAN-AMERlcAN.

Exhibit of the Division OF Botnnv =,
the United States Department of
Agriculture VIII Deeply Interest
the AgricuIturists.
The progressive agriculturist will
be interested In the exhibit Of the Dr.
vision of Botany OF the United States
Department Of Agriculture at the Pan
American Exposition, as ii relates TO
one Of the first essentials of his call
ing. The exhibit WIN be restricted TO
only one a the numerous lines of work
conducted by the Division Of Botany
namely, pure seed investigations. 1t
will represent the work of the Seed
Laboratory at the Department Of Agri-
culture, where samples of all seeds dis
tributed by the Government are now
carefully tested for purity, germina-
bility, and freedom from seeds of nox-
ious weeds.
Thousands OF samples from farmers
and seedsmen In all parts Of the coun-
try are also tested at this laboratory.
The work is of special interest to farm
ers, gardeners, seedsmen and expert
ment station workers, to whom the sub
ject OF pure seeds is of vital impor-
lance.
The Seed Laboratory Of the Depart
ment OF Agriculture is well recognized
as the most important seed testing sta
ton in America. Its methods, stand
ards and most important pieces Of APP
paratus have been adopted for seed
testing at many OF the State Expert
ment stations The methods now in
use and many Of the instruments and
larger pieces Of apparatus have been
devised and perfected by the men in
charge TO meet the necessities of the
work
On entering the space devoted to this
exhibit at the left Of the main aisle
one sees first in a glass case a purity
separating table with magnlfying glass,
forceps and other tools used by experts
in separating a sample OF commercial
seed into It's component parts of pure
seed chat, sand and other foreign
matter and weed seeds Next is a pair
Of fine balances on which samples are
weighed, all percentages in seed purity
tests being based upon weight Be
yond the scales is a new combined

of the most attractive pieces Of appa-

SAVED coNeREssMAN's LIFE.
Felt to the Doctor Who Could
Not Attend Him.

At recent dinner party in Washing
pense of Representative Norton, of
Ohio, commonly known TO his col
leagues as doctor" 1t seems that
early in his career Norton graduated
in medicine and took up the practice,
later giving il up for the more enticing
practice of politics" The story in
question was told by one of DIR. Nor
toms colleagues from Ohio and was as
follows:
Back in the '70's / lived near DR.
Norton, then a practicing physician.
While in that neighborhood l was
taken seriously i'll and required the
services of two physicians for days
and days. / knew l was pretty sick
man, and, consequently, when the doc
tors failed to put in an appearance on
certain day asked my wife what
had become of them. She held back
for minute, but finally confessed.
with tears in her eyes. that they had
given me up, that they were convinced
they could do nothing more fer me.
Wen, l was determined not TO die, and
happened to think of DR.. Norton. And
want to say TO you now that DIR. Nor
ton saved my life. ! have always been
grateful to him for this great service,
although i have never been able to re-
pay him. Send for DIR. Norton" said
l. He will be able 70 save me-. NV
wife acted on my suggestion, and,
calling a messenger, sent for the doc
tor. Pretty soon the messenger re-
turned with reply TO my wife's mes
sage, and this. is what she read:

motor. The device itself, however, in
which the separation Of chaff and light
er impurities from seed is performed
through the action Of an air current,
consists OF simple bent glass tube
connected with a receiver.
Actual termination tests will be car
rled on at the Exposition as IN the
Seed Laboratory at Washington. Com
mercial seeds win be counted, arrang-
ed in folded blue blotters, moistened
and placed In the standard germinat'
ing chamber, where they will be kept
at fixed temperatures favorable to ger
mination. Check termination tests,
such as are employed in conducting
tests with many kinds of seeds, viii be
made In sterilized sand and soil in
greenhouse flats" The number ger
minating each day for definite period
in each Of the tests viii be noted, and
the percentage Of termination thus
computed.
Many weeds the seeds of which are
most frequently found as impurities
in commercial seeds are represented
by living plants labeled with the
names by which they should be desig-
mated by English speaking people
wherever found. A unique feature Is
an exhibit Of seeds OF many Of these
weeds and also several kinds OF COM
mercial seeds arranged under 40 mag
nlfying glasses accompanied by seeds
of the same kinds in open dishes, so
that one may readily compare the mag
nified impression with the actual seed
and note differences and distinctive
that would not appear to
the unaided eye.
The results and Importance of seed
testing are graphically represented by
several groups OF glass tubes contain
ing different kinds Of commercial
seeds. These show the ordinary COM
mercial seed, the amount of pure seed
true to name in the sample and the
amount OF inert matter, such as chan, I,
sticks and sand. the proportion OF
weed seeds, and finally the amount OF
germinable seeds true to name, as de-
termined by test of similar sample and
the proportion OF waste. A COMPARE
son OF these last two indicates how
much Is often paid for waste in buy
Ing INFESTED and poorly cleaned seeds.
Commercial seed growing is shown

Of the largest seed farms in California,
where the production Of garden seeds
has reached its highest development

New England Building.

The New England building in the
Court of State and Foreign Buildings

are typical of a New England home OF

is plain, yet rich. The building is lOi
feet long by 81 feet wide. The walls
are covered with stan, painted to rep
resent red brick with white marble
trimmings. The shields of the six New
England States are placed in colors on
the front, and there is a staff for each
state flag. on the ground floor is
large reception hall, nearly AZ feet
square. supported by four columns, and
al the rear are colonial staircases
leading in two directions from the first
landing. on the right of the reception
hall are the bureau of information, the
courtroom and custodian's quarters.
on the left are lounging and writing
rooms. from which beautiful view OF

fireplaces are arranged. and the fur

The noted General Ballington Booth,
the head of the Volunteers of America,
will speak in the First Presbyterian
Church next Sunday morning, ard in
the First Baptist Church sunday
evening. He is a gifted orator and
all who attend may be sure of hearing
fine address.
Gen. Booths father organized the
Salvation Army, and the General had
charge of that organization in the
United States for some years. Be
lleving, however. that its system was
not adapted to this country, he left
that organization and started the
Volunteers of America.
This new organization has grown
rapidly, and has done a great amount
of good among those who are outside
of church influences and helps. Mrs.
Booth, the wife of the General, is
doing wonderful work amongst the
inmates of the states prisons and
jails, and in providing home and
work for discharged prisoners.
At each of these meetings collee-
tion will be taken for the work. Let
the contributions be generous.

The Democratic city convention
was held very quietly last Saturday
evening, in the room over The Beacon
office. 1t was held rather secretly, it
is said, to prevent the elected dele
gates from the First Ward from know
ing of the meeting. These delegates
got wind of the place of meeting,
however, but were not allowed to sit
in the convention.
The convention made the following
nominations
Mayor, DIR. Edward w. Closson ;
constable, J. Nelson Hurley super
intendent of public schools, Robert
II. Dilts; overseer of the poor, J.
Nelson Hurley members of board of
excise, John NJ. Casey, Jeremiah X.
Trimmer, Edmund Hunt.
DIR. Closson refuses to accept, and
thus far no one has been secured to
take the nomination.
The refusal to admit the elected
delegates from the First Ward has re-
suited in legal proceedings to prevent
the Democratic city ticket from being
officially recognized in the printing Of
ballots.
