Clean Seed.

The increasing prevalence of smut
in northwestern wheat has led tn
Minneapolis grain dealers to warn
the farmers 20 take particular pains
to SOW only clean seed. The smut
spores can be removed from seed
wheat by several processes, and if
the farmers can be brought to realize
the gravity of the situation, there will
no doubt, he general effort to see
that only clean seed IS put into the
ground this spring. The grain men
seem to be of the opinion that the
farmers need to take more care, not
only to SOW clean seed, but to SOW
good, healthy seed shat will be GER
tain in a favorable environment to
Weld beautifully. 1t is hard to be-
lieve that wheat farmers are careless
about seed wheat, but that seems to
be the opinion Of the grain men

The following is a clipping from

the work in Marshall of Rev. Sunday
evangelist and ex-baseball player.

over 600 adults we're won over and
publicly testified to their conversion.

Dancing parties were nightly occur

The dreary waltz and fascinating two

clubs have lost all their memberships
Churches are crowded at every SER
wee. The gamblers have left town
and the saloons have their speedy
finish in sight. Rev. Sundays first
work in Marshall was the preparation
of a prayer list" He went about
the town and secured the names of
all the men whome he thought needed
to be prayed for. The list was leng

hopeless. Now everyone On the list
has been converted. Mayor Mathews
and B. B. Steward, city attorney, are
among the converts and in fact, near
ly every man in town.
Rev. Sunday made no emotional,
hypnotic appeals to his audiences.
His talks were plain and 10 the point.
If he had attempted the usual route
followed by evangelists, working on
the emotions, his conversions would
