equally well, but a larger proportion
OF the plants is likely to die out or do
poorly.
All else being equal, a good catch,
satisfactory stand and a heavy crop
are more likely from a sowing of the
heavy seed than from sowing of the
light, in spite of the smaller number
of seeds in the former. 1t is equiva-

The seed laboratory of the United
States department of agriculture. as a
provisional figure, recommends S5 per
cent. as minimum standard of vitali-
ty for commercial clover seed. that
is, S5 out Of every 100 clover seeds
should sprout. The Pennsylvania
board of agriculture found the average
vitality of 33 samples of red clover
seed S6.4 per cent (943-20.3).
The Vermont station found the aver
age vitality of 1874 samples collected
by the station and tested at the seed
laboratory Of the United States de
partment of agriculture to be 81 per

The Delaware station found the av-

of more importance than either its

such young woman heaven only has
truly gained. 1t will be a blessed re
collection that she grew up to love
and be loved by those who will cher
ish her memory so tenderly. 1t will
be a sacred thought in all the years
to come to parents and friends that
she shed radiance in the home and
community as long as she did. 1t has
been but eight months since this home
was bereft of the father of Miss Brad
ford. Thus this seeming double affiic-

know that He has promised not to
