RUsTED WHEAT WILL GROW.
Advice Given Farmers by Prof. Thomas
Shaw and Prof. Boley.

Advice Given Farmers by Prof. Thomas
Shaw and Prof. BoIley.
| From Tuesdays Daily.
Two well-known authorities, Profess
sor Thomas Shaw of the Minnesota Ag-
ricultural college, and Professor III. l..
Bolley of the North Dakota Agricultural
college, are on record as stating that the
use of seed wheat from the rusted wheat
crop of last year will not transmit rust
to the next crop, and as discountenanc-
| ing the present agitation for the free ad-
mission of Canadian seed wheat, which
is based upon the contention that the
farmers must have it to tide over.
While the statement that rusted
wheat may be used without danger of
transmission of rust, is not new, and is
generally accepted by agriculturists, the
opinions of Professors Shaw and Bolley
are timely The agitation for good seed
has gone slightly beyond the point of
solicitude for the northwest, and bord-
ers upon the assumption that there is a
scarcity of wheat available for seed.
The application of Congressman Steen-
erson of Crookston for treasury de-
partment decision upon the matter of
admitting Canadian Wheat, imported for
seed, without payment of duty, has in
creased the feeling. Apparently there is
no occasion for alarm.
The 500 road has already sent out a
seed train, for the purpose of educating
the farmers in its territory to the ne
cessity for using good seed, and the
Northwestern has arranged an itinerary
for seed train to cover the south
western part of Minnesota and South
Dakota. Meanwhile it is announced
that Secretary Shaw will send message
to congress recommending law admit
ting Canadian wheat for seed free of
duty in times of need.
From all this the impression has
grown that the northwest is short of
seed wheat, but this is not really the
case.
Precautions are necessary in the use of
seed wheat from a rusted crop, but this
is due rather to the fact that there
are likely to be small, shriveled, or
grains in the wheat which would not be
good seed in any case. The statement
that rust was prevalent in field does
not preclude the use of wheat from that
field for seed, and that such use will not
produce rust in the next crop. Smut
is more an internal affection, and the
use of smutty seed, according to Profess
sor Conway Macmillan is almost sure
to show up deleteriously in new crop,
but rust is an external affection and is
not transmitted through the seed.-Min-

evening in the German Lutheran school

o'clock. Officers will be elected for the
term of one year. The report current to
the effect that DR.. Brandenburg of

or for any purpose whatever is entirely
groundless, as the association has made
no engagement of the doctor, nor has
the latter applied for any such position

Of Runs.

From Thursdays Daily.
A small fire occurred at the residence
of Anton Kohl, 125 Division street, at
$3.50 o'clock yesterday afternoon. The
roof of the kitchen took fire from hot
stove pipe that ran through it, but the
residents of East Mankato succeeded
in nearly extinguishing the blaze with
buckets of water before the central sta

damage will probably not exceed $25,

State Should Call. Him.

"In justice to the defendant, the state
should not be allowed to rest its case
until Mr.. Brooks is produced said Mr..
Brown.
Mr.. Childs then stated that according
to his information Mr.. Brooks had made
contradictory statements. General
Childs cited two cases, one from the
Minnesota supreme court and one from
the Illinois court, to the effect that the
state was not required to produce all the
eye witnesses to a homicide; that the
state was required only to have in court
the eye witnesses to the murder.
Mr.. Brown, for the defense. pressed his
motion that the state be required to
bring in Mr.. Brooks as witness, and
the case was left there when the court
adjourned.
At the time of adjournment the mo-
ton before the court was for the state
to bring in Mr., Brooks to testify. The
