PURE SEED MEETING
Several Hundred Farmers Assemble
at Agr. College Chapel.

That the farmers are interested in a
move to secure good seed for future
crops was evidenced by the large num-
Der that attended the "speciap' called
to meet at the Agricultural college
chapel Monday afternoon. This was
the first of the series of meetings that
has been planned and advertised to be
held throughout the state by the North
western Railroad Company in all the
territory that can be reached by their
lines. This territory is to be covered
by especial" in charge of A. G.
Johnson.
AT the meeting held in this city
Monday afternoon Mr.. Greeley and Mr..
Johnson were not present owing to
pressing engagements elsewhere, but
Prof. j. w. Wilson, director Of the ex-
pertinent station, had the matter in
charge and in few words explained
the object OF the meeting which he
supplemented with some general re-
marks upon diversified farming and
the Importance OF selecting good seed,
of rotating crops, and OF fertilization
He also called the attention of the far
mers present to the recent issue, by
the department OF Agriculture, of the
"soil survey OF BrOokings county,
which was made last year by Frank
Bennett, Jr., and which could be Sc
cured free by addressing Milton Whit.
ney at Washington, ID. G.
Prof. Wheeler also gave a very inter
esting and instructive lecture, with the
aid of charts, on the formation and
termination OF seeds, dwelling more
particularly upon that OF wheat and
other cereals, and leading up to a
point where many practical questions
were asked and intelligently answered
by the professor. The interest was
shown by the number of questions
showered upon the speaker.
Before the meeting adjourned COM
mittee of seven was selected by those
present to look up the matter of seeing
where all kinds of pure seed might be
obtainable and at what prices. They
were also instructed to ascertain, if pos
sible, how much would be needed for
distribution in Brookings county.
The committee selected to take
charge OF these matters were Geo. P.
Sexauer, chairman; E. l.. Squirting,
A. w. Hyde, James Thornber, E. G..
Chilcott, M. G.. Carlisle, J. N. Hymes.
1t was suggested that all farmers in
this county in need ofgood seed should
at once file an order with the chair
man, Mr.. Sexauer, so that the kind
and amount could be placed before
the committee in time to act at as
early date as possible.
On Monday evening Prof. Wheeler
Joined Mr.. Johnson for their next meet
ing which was held at De Smet on
Tuesday.

ROMANCE OF THE PRACTICAL,

It would not be easy to find a better place to seek inspiration for the imag- ination of the artist, the poet, or the inventor than at Niagara Falls. And Archibald Williams doubtless had this in mind in beginning The Romance of Modern Engineering" with a chapter on "The. Harnessing of Niagara" Lord Kelvin recognized both the practical and the purely fanciful trend of differ ent imaginations when he said:
 ''I look forward to the time when the whole water from Lake Erie will find it's way to the lower level of Lake On tario, through machinery doing more good for the world than that great ben eft which we now possess in the con . temptation of the scene now presented by the waterfalls of Niagara" He did not seem to lessen the value of artistic imagination, but to emphasize and place in it's proper light that of the engineer and inventor.
 This view may be taken as the text of MT. Williams's interesting book, and Tor this reason it is particularly a vol tune for the young. It contains inter- esting descriptions in nontechnical language of the Nile dam, the Panama canal, the Tower bridge the Brooklyn bridge, the Trans-S Siberian railway, the Bermuda floating dock, notable tunnels harbors, ocean steamships, etc.
 The mass of information given is ex- pressed throughout so intelligibly in such simple language, and the matters
