The time has arrived for the far
mer to consider the seed grain ques
ton. Some good wheat was raised
in these parts last season, but all of
it contained more OF less smut, which
greatly reduced the yield and the
price. Experiments along the line
of treating seed wheat for smut have
proved conclusiveIy that the treat
ment is a great benefit to the crop.
There are some who belittle the idea
of treating the seed, but results have
proved the value of treatment 10 10
calitities where it has been tried ex-
tensively. The cash outlay for this
treatment Is small, alt though it takes
some labor, Seed barley also needs
attention this season. Some or The
heaviet barley raised IN this section
contained ''black ends" and it is
claimed such kernels will not grow.
1t is IA small matter to test the seed.

cises last spring. After prayer BY
Rev. Preston and music by a choir Of
boys and girls the literary part Of the
program was taken up. Everyone
was surprised at rhe ability displayed
by the young people. There was not
a poor essay in the whole lot. Every
one taking part was entitled to the
highest praise. That their efforts
were fully appreciated was evidenc.
ed by the fact thu the young ladies
and gentlemen h-ld The attention OF
their audience better than any high
priced lecturer that ever appeared ia
