SEED TESTING FOR
MISSOURI FARMERS.

Mr.. NJ. +. Miller of the College of
Agriculture and Experiment stu
ton, sends out the following import.
ant information for farmers:
a seed testing laboratory for the
| benefit VI Missouri farmers and
s""ur""u ~ h"Iug operated at The
Agricultural College mt Columbia, in
cooperation with the l.. :. Depurt.
nrnt of Agriculture. The farmers
OF Missouri are wasting annually
thousands Of dollars in buying seed :
of poor quality and large share Il
this could be saved by having all
seeds tested at the laboratory. Thi,
work is done without Of harge and it
is the advantage Of every farmer IL
have this work done.
Seeds should be sent in care of the
Seed Testing Laboratory, Columbia.
Mo. For small seeds like grasses
and clovers II tablespoon full l.,
sufficient, For large seeds such as
wheat, oats, etc, three or four
tablespoons full should be sub.
mitted.
Thrs" samples should bear the
name and address of the sender and
"A letter should accompany them
stating whether II purity test j.
wanted or whether the seed is to be-
tested for both purity and germinn-
ton.
Where n purity test is desired, a
report can be returned within n
week. Where Il termination test is
desired, il takes few days longer.
The number of pcrnicious weed,
that are being distributed over the
state in the various kinds Of grasses
Clovcrs and other seeds are many Of
them dangerous pests and IL Is To
the interests Of every man to know
exactly what he is sewing. He
should also know tho germinating
qualities Of the seeds he uses. This
information IL at the disposal of the
farmers of Missouri, with no cost
to them. 1t is frequently possible
to secure samples of seeds from the
varions sources, have them tested,
aud then buy on the results Of the
tests.

COMPANY ORGANIZED TO
INSURE BANK DEPoSITT

Now mans property may bc in
Sured against amy contingency of
loss, be that property what il may,
including his cash deposited in
banks. A charter has recently been
issued by the State of Missouri au-
thorizing the Bank Insurance d In
demnity Company of Kansas City
to transact IA general insurance bus
mess. But the special object of the
company Is tn insure the assets of
banks in M amount sufficient to
guarantee all depositors that their
money is absolutely secure.
This company has solved the
problem in II perfectly simple, bust
nesslike way, namely, to provide
against loss to the individual de-
positor by insuring the assets OF the
banks against loss of any and every
nature In an amount equal to the
deposits of each bank. More than
six hundred banks have already cx-
pressed an interest IN this COM
pany, including number in western
Missouri. Any one interested as u
depositor can get the information as
to what banks have awaited them
selves of this chance of absolutely
protecting their depositors by writ
ing to the Bank Insurance d lndem-
nifty Company of Kansas City. Mo
This company's form of policy
has been approved by the Attorney
General of the United States. Its
rates are based on actuarial figures
compiled by the leading actuary of
this country. The plans of opera
ton have been furnished by the
most successful insurance and finan-
cial men in this country and its
management is now in the hands of
the best talent obtainable. It's OBJ
iect is to make bank failures prac-
tically impossible and to make it
absolutely impossible for bank de-
positor to lose any money, even
though his money IL on deposit In a
bank that should meet with disaster.
Great companies have arisen in
the past In response to demands for
In almost every line and
now this company has been formed

We publish in this issue communi-
cation from E. E. 7. Hazen on the
question as to whom is due the credit
for originating the idea Of putting into
operation the Rural Route Free Deliv-
cry Of mail.
The clipping referred to by Mr.. Ha-
zen was not written by the editor of
the HERALD but was taken from the
ready print columns Of the paper and
we cannot say who wrote It.
We do not question the correctness of
Mr. iIazen's statements as to the ac-
tion Of MIR. Watson in connection with
this move for free delivery Of mails ard
there is no question us to Mr.. Watson s
deserving much credit for making the
fight for the establishment Of this i'm.
proved NAH service, for, regardless Of
the question MS to whether the idea o.
riginated with MIR. Watson or not, there
is no question as to his having been n
persistent champion Of the cause Of the
free delivery.
MIR. Hazen Is. no doubt. well aware
Of the fact that, In making up tn, rec
ords Of the different political parties,
the party In power Is charged up with
NIL legislation had during the time Il
was in power and under this system Of
party book keeping, It has become the
custom to credit the party In power
with all good Legislation secured while
Il was In power.
The rural free delivery system was
established and developed under the
rule OF the republican party and. under
the system OF party book keeping above
referred to. without going into the de-
tails Ms to who deserved the credit Of
first advocating the legislation. the gen.
cral claim Of credit for the Legislation
that established the free delivery sys-
TEN was made In the language referred

raise the standards OF living and Of
intelligence in other caIlings.
Those engaged In all other industrial
and commercial callings have found
1t necessary under modern economic
conditions to organize themselves for
mutual advantage and for the protec-
tion of their own particular interests
in relation to other interests. The
farmers of every progressive Euro
pean country have realized this essen
zial fact and have found in the CO.
operative system exactly the form Of
business combination they need.
Now, whatever the state may do to-
ward improving the practice Of agri-
culture, it is not within the sphere of
any government to Eorganize the
farmers business or reconstruct the
social life of farming communities.
It is, however, quite within its power
to use its influence and the machinery
of publicity which it can control for
calling public attention to the needs
and the facts. For example, it is the
obvious duty of the government to call
the attention of farmers to the grow
ing monopolization of water power.
The farmers, above all, should have
that power, on reasonable terms, for
cheap transportation, for lighting their
homes and for innumerable uses in
the daily tasks on the farm.
Farmers Own Work Needed.
1t would be idle to assert that life
on the farm occupies as good posi-
ton in dignity, desirability and busi-
ness results as the farmers might
easily give it If they chose. One of
the chief difficulties is the failure of
country life as it exists at present to
satisfy the higher social and intellec-
tual aspirations Of country people.
Whether the constant draining away
Of so much of the best elements in the
rural population into the towns is due
chiefly to this cause or to the superior
business opportunities Of city life may
be open to question. But no one at
all familiar with farm life throughout
the United States can fail to recognize
the necessity for building up the life
Of the farm upon it's social as well as
upon its productive side.
It is true that country life has i'm
proved greatly in attractiveness, health
and comfort and that the farmers
earnings are higher than they were.
But city life is advancing even more
rapidly because of the greater atten-
Morris tribune., 1909-02-13

nation as whole, to realize that the
growing Of crops, though an essential
part, is only part Of country life.
Crop growing is the essential founda-
tion, but 1t is no less essential that the
farmer should get an adequate return
for what he grows, and it is no less
essential indeed, it is literally vital
that he and his wife and his children
shall lead the right kind Of life.
For this reason it is Of the first i'm
portance that the United States depart
ment of agriculture, through which as
prime agent the ideas the commission
stands for must reach the people,
should become without delay in fact a
department Of country life, fitted to
deal not only with crops, but also with
all the larger aspects of life in the open
country.
Three Needs of Country Life.
From all that has been done and
learned three great general and imme-
diate needs Of country life stand out:
First.-Efective cooperation among
lrmers to put them on level with
Tie organized interests with which
they do business.
Second.-A new kind Of schools in
the country, which shall teach the
children as much outdoors as indoors,
and perhaps more, so that they will
prepare for country life and not, as at
present, mainly for life in town.
Third.-Better means Of communica-
tion, including good roads and a par
GELS post, which the country people
are everywhere, and rightly, unani-
nous in demanding.
To these may well be added better
sanitation, for easily preventable dis
eases hold several million country peo-
pie in the slavery Of continuous Ill
health.
Organization Is Necessary.
The commission points out-and I
concur in the conclusion-that the
most important help that the govern
ment, whether national or state, can
give is to show the people how to go
aboNt these tasks of organization, ed
ucation and communication with the
best and quickest results. This can
be done by the collection and spread
Of information. One community can
thus be Informed of what other COM
munities have done and one country
of what other countries have done.
Such help by the peoples govern
