In 1889 Mr.. Judy took up claim

owns in section SO, West Point town

Forty acres Of this land he got of his

One of the things Mr.. Judy Is most

grandchildren and forty-three great
grandchildren, a total of 107, ninety
four of whom are living. Besides
these, thirty other persons have
come into the family through mar

How Botz Treats His Grain

a slight expense and some bother.
John Botz. until quite recently. one,
of Ward ,county's biggest grain
growers. says that during the Hat
ter years that he farmed, he always
.treated his grain. The method Is
simple. Take a pound Of xhe for
maldehyhe solution OF standard
proof. and pour It in 80 or IS gallons
,of water. Just before sowing the
grain spread it out on the barn
floor. and then sprinkle over It tiis
solution. A couple: Of men with
shovels can turn the grain fast
enough, while one uses the sprinis-
Ter. There are other methods, but
this is good cheap way. Do this
in the evening and in the morning
the grain will be ready for sowing.
It Is well to give It another good
shoveling the next morning. On ac-
count of the grain being damp, it
is well to allow about six. quarts
of extra seed to each acre for it
being damp, will not run out OF
the seeder so fast. Mr.. Botz was
never at loss on account Of smut

loads. The same data collected On
the market for the months of Aug
ust. September and October b:ars a
close similarity in substance
We have been paying a go,d dea!
OF attention to the breeding up If
live stock, but We have almost neg
lected one of the most profitable
lines Of development in agriculture.
It is probably true that today. in the
state OF North the oat crop returns
more net profit peracre to the farmer
than does the raising Of wheat or
fax, and yet Of all the cultivated
crops it received the least considera-
ton. It is sown late the seed often
going into the ground without Gle N
ing. It is put upon the poorer soil.
In short, oats gets the short end Of
the deal, SO far as the farmer is con-
cerned. And vet, because OF the al
most ideal climate and soil Of the
northwest, Dakota produces a quality
and average yield Of the grain al
most unexcelled.
What returns might we not get II
we paid proper attention to the clean
ing of our seed, Its proper sowing
on well titled land, ami proper sefec-
ton of seed.

Not Enough Care
With Dat Crop

The following clipping taken from
The Homestead, contains something
for the North Dakota farmer to think
about.
The difference in quality between
the best and the inferior oats was
most extraordinary and in view q
sucn a condition it can only be said
that the possibilities for improving
the average Of the oat crop in this
country are unlimited. This fact is
brought out more strikingly when the
following data, taken from large
placard in this part OF the exhibit,
is studied Statistics OF the receipt
of oats in the Omaha markets during
the months Of September. October
and November, this year, give these
results The receipt Of oats which
would grade No. / were expressed in

farmer for many years, and who
hasn't forgotten the art. says that
every farmer ought to test his
seed grain, corn. wheat. oats or any
thing that he Is going to seed. Mr.
;Botz used to always test his seed
corn putting a couple dozen ker'
nels in an old can OF dirt, and
putting it in warm place in the
house. Mark on the outside OF the
can the number of kernels of grain
planted and in that way you can
test. it perfectly. It's an old plan,
but good nevertheless. Many a
farmer will be saved money If he
tests his seed inthis manner.
One would think that It would be
unnecessary to persist N
advising farmers to treat their
seed grain with formaldehyde, be-
fore sowing, yet every year in
North Dakota thousands run the
risk OF getting a poor crop of
smutty grain or wilt flax Just be-
cause they do not care to go to
