SEED TRAINS TO START SOON.
Railroads Will Follow up Work of
Last Year.
Making EARLY Startto Cover Larger
Territory.
Forty-Five Minutes Given to Every
Stopping Place.

Better farming and better crops are /
the objects of the years camp align
opened last Wednesday with the an
nouncement from j. J. Quinn, secre-
tary of the Tri-State Grain Dealers
association, that arrangements have
been made with the Omaha and Mil
waukee railroads to run ''good seed"
trains out of Minneapolis on Jan. %
and %, respectively. This announce
ment will surprise the farmers and the
grain trade, for last year the, start was
not made until we'll along tow ards the
spring breakup.
This year there will be winter trips.
Experience has indicated that better
results will be obtained. In March, the
teamwork in general is not yet possible,
the mind of the farmer is upon the work
of seeding. Theoretically, this would
appear to be just the time to present
the good-seed proposition, but in
practice it has not worked out that
way. While the meetings last year
we're attended by thousands, and the
greatest interest was shown, resulting
in increased attention to the important
matters presented, and ultimate re-
turns in the form of better grain, it is
felt that still more farmers would be
reached, and even better results OBJ
tanned by opening up the work in Janu-
airy, when all can attend.
b. B. Ober, assistant general freight
agent of the Omaha, has arranged for
train to leave Minneapolis Jan. %,
but the itinerary is not yet completed.
E. D. Sewall, assistant general snper-
intendent of the Milwaukee, has agreed
to furnish train ready to start out
Jan. 20. Later announcements will be
made of towns to be visited. It is be-
lieved that other roads will take up
the work later. Last year the Milwau-
kee, Omaha, Minneapolis & St. Louis
and 500 line ran trains with verd sat-
isfory results.
Professors Andrew Boss and G. P.
Bull of the ST. Anthony Park Expert
ment station, who covered the state so
thoroly last year, will 60 out again,
and also E. G. Parker of the station,
who will alternate with Professors Boss
and Bull as lecturer. In Sonth Dakota
the lectures will be delivered by Pro.
lessor w. A. Wheeler of the South
Dakota School of Agriculture OF
Brookings and assistants from the
school.
Stops of forty-Gve minutes to one
hour will be made at all stations.
Charts illustrative of the work will be
carried, and agricultural college bulle-
tins now being printed will be distri-
buted to all attending. It is the plan
of the lecturers to localize the work
more than ever this year. Informa.
ton covering the varieties of wheat or
coarse grains raised in the vicinity Of
a town, Of the peculiarities of soil and
| the good or bad results of farmers ir
the vicinity, is largely in hand, anc
the lecturers, besides covering the gen
eral subject of good seed, will dwell
upon adverse influence that may have
been shown in the crops of county OF
township, SO that any farmer desiring
information as to peculiarities of con
ditions at hand, may obtain it.
