uNcLEAN ALFALFA SEED.


College Station, Tex, Jan. Sa.-
According to Or. o. NJ. Ball, pro
fessor Of botany in the Agricultural
and Mechanical College, farmers
can not be too particular in select
ing their alfalfa seed for planting
purposes. A year or two ago he
issued a bulletin OH the subject
pointing out the danger OF sowing
all manner OF noxious weeds along
with the alfalfa. He has recently
had occasion TO make further inves-
LEGATIONS in this line and finds that
some Of TIE alfalfa seed now offered
for sale in the State contains John
son grass seed, clover dodder, and
worse still, some samples have been
found to contain the dreaded Rus
sian thistle. This pest is said to be
the greatest nuisance ever intro
duced into this country. II IS
known to exist in Hemphill county
in the Panhandle, in Wilbarger
county near Vernon and in Lime
stone county near Groesbeeck.
The casual observer, DR.. Ball
says, would not recognize the John
son grass seed mixed with the al
falfa seed The process OF hulling
the alfalfa seed hulls the Johnson
grass seed also and il does not re-
semble the seed the farmer is used
to seeing. 1t is much sr.ailer than
with hull on and is Of reddish
color and semi-transparent. The
Russian thistle seed are shaped like
top, while the clover dodder seed
are small and round like pellets oil

THE WATCH TRUST.
Memorial Of Independents Now With
Department Of Justice.

The memorial which was presented to the
President Wednesday by representatives Of
the independent watch manufacturing in
terests of the country has reached the De-
partment of Justice. 1t alleged that the
Waltham and Elgin companies have vio-
lated the Sherman antitrust act in en-
ploying methods in restraint of trade. The
Department of Justice some months ago
started an investigation of the so-called
trust which has not yet been concluded.
Whether or not the department will take
legal action to dissolve the so-called combi-
nation will depend entirely upon the facts
obtained through this investigation. 1t is
expected that a report will be received by
the officials in charge Of the investigation
some time within the next month or two.
