Seed Wheat.

EE 1ump, heavy kernels of wheat
grown in rustcd field, but which ma
turod despite the severe test to which
they were put, are especially desirable
as seed wheat this season, according to
frofessorC. =. hull OF the Minnesota
state experiment farm. in u statement
ne has just issued on the subject.
I. Professor Bull advises farmers, how
ever. TO use extreme caution in select
Ing for seed wheat that was grown in
rusted fields. He estimates that only
a small proportion, probably 10 or 30
per cent, of the wheat grown in rust
infected fields, will be sound enough to
use advisedly as seed. IS
very little wheat that was attacked
~ rust last year grades above No. ?
northern, most of it being no grade
and rejected. This, Professor Bull un-
reservedly declares, should not be used
tor seed. IT there is any No. o. No.
:, however, he advises farmers to in
vest in tanning, mills and clean and
grade every kernel to be used for seed
with extreme care.
The fact that these kernels had
proved rust resistant, Professor. Bull
says. is not their only claim to desir-
ability, as seed. The additional advan.
tage of adaptability to the soil and
climate to the section in which they
are used. gives such seed an advantage
over any other Of. equal merit that is
brought from another locality. .... !.
Besides advising careful selection
with view to the elimination Of all
rust-damaged kernels, Professor Bull
say that rotation of crops should be
extensively practiced this year in fields
that were ravaged. Professor Bull
goes on record as saying that If this is
done, the possibility of an attack Of
rust this year will be obviated.

members. When the passage Of meas
ure is decided upon by majority caucus
the whip" must begin his york by see
ing every majority member and persuad-
ing him to keep himself in readiness to
answer roll calls and keep a quorum
present to do business. Another part OF
his duty is to quietly circulate among
the majority members and ascertain by
interviews and inquiries how they stano
on any bill or resolution OF partisan ma

where diplomacy plays part, as no Of

not to arouse any antagonism or create
any hard feeling.
This exacting position is now held by

tenant Of Speaker Cannon. Just now he
has q ticklish job on hand, to ascertain
just where the republican members

in the session. and by quiet, persistent
inquiries and canvasses was able to re-
port TO Speaker Cannon that the major

thing ought to be done on both of these
subjects. This report he made at the
celebrated conference recently At the

called nine members of tho house and
