GETTING READY FOR YEARS CROP
The Sorting Season is Practically Closed

Fred Eckhardt viii do we'll to conclude
the work in MAY. Shortage of help on
account of prevalent eontagion has
caused the lateness in this work.
Extremely high prices commanded
for the last crop will be an incentive to
greatly increased acreage the coming
season. 1t is believed however, that
the next crop will not command such
figures as the one Just cased. Neither
is there the race among wholesalers
and jobbers TO gobble the present pack

1t is a matter Of general interest at
this time of the year to know what per-
centage of tobacco seed ought to ger
inmate under ordinary conditions. The
following information on this subject is
contained in a bulletin issued by the
department of agriculture. Tobacco
seeds are exceedingly small land an
ounce of them contains from 300, 600 to
400, 000 seeds, A large percentage of
these, however, viii not sprouU. Some
&C them are not fertile, and others have
a very hard coating too resistant to

it is pretty we'll established that not

while very much less than this will,
under ordinary circumstances. be avail
able for planting Allowing. however,
for the imperfeetions in the seed and
for the TOO deep and too shallow plant
ing and for loss by accident, there
ought to be at least 20, N0a seeds or
plants from an ounce OF fresh tobacco.

The Tobacco Reporter comments that
growers generally have not been
anxious to take ADVANTAGE OF the early
spring indications TO lay their plant
beds. They want to be sure that the
heavy freezes are over befere putting
sprouted seed in the ground. April Goth
in this latitude is considered early
enough to start the beds with the as
surance that repianting is not necessary.
Then if the beds are carefully looked
after there need be no failure under
ordinary circumstances IN securing
plants in time for the usual planting
season. Experience has shown that it
is ofteuer that plants of proper size are
ready for the fields before growers
have their fields ready to receive them
than they have to wait fer Che plants
to make suitable size Protection of
the beds through April and he early

Much Travel N0rthWard.

That there is much travel from
the south to the northern part of the
state, and from the twin cities to
the boundary, was illustrated last
evening, when the M. & I. north
bound passenger train pulled in from
Brainerd.
Every car on the train was filled,
there being two persons in each
seat. At this station, the platform
was crowded with laborers going to
the camps north of here and resi-
dents of other towns who had spent
yesterday in the city on business.
1t was impossible for all who
desired to 60 north from here to
secure seat, and when the train
pulled out from the depot the aisles
and even the vestibules were filled
with passengers, many of whom
intended going through to Inter
national Falls.

President Tosses Up Coin.

The senators agreed and the posi-
ton of bank examiner being the place
in immediate dispute the president
tossed up coin saying that heads
meant that Kittredge should win and
tails Senator Gamble should name the
man. The piece Of money fell head
up and the nomination was thus
awarded to Mr.. Kittredge. Both ap-
pearing satisfied with this method Of
disposing Of the problem the presi-
dent suggested that all vacancies be
filled after the same manner and &C.
cordingly the names of the various
offices were written upon slips Of pa.
per. The two senators then proceed
ed to the drawing, with the result
that Senator Gamble was awarded
the following Offices: United States
district attorney for the state, collec-
tor of internal revenue, registers at
the land offices at Aberdeen and Cham
berlain and receivers at the land
Offices at Rapid City, Pierre, Huron
and Aberdeen and Indian agent at
Lower Brule agency. In addition to
the Office of national bank examiner
Senator Kittredge drew the following
Offices: Assayer of the mint at Dead
wood, registers at Mitchell, Rapid City,
Pierre and Huron; receivers at Nit
chell and Chamberlain, Indian agent
at Grow Creek agency and the audi
torship for the treasury department..
The result of the lottery will be
that the president will be guided by it
in designating officials to fill the va
cancies, Senator Kittredge recon-
mending for the Offices which he drew
and Senator Gamble for the others.
The agreement was hastily made and
is binding only in the matter of nom
nation, each senator reserving the
right to oppose the confirmation of
person nominated at the instance of
the other.
