Secretary of Agriculture Wilson
has been making trip through the
west, and notes that there is a great
dearth of farm labor and that the
farmers are overworked-this in the
face of the claim of the American
Federation of Labor that there are
now 100000 unemployed men in
this country. Aside from the diff
Guilty of evening up demand and sup
ply on account of the unemployed
sticking to the city when they might
do much better in the country, is
the fact that no farmer can proper
ly hire a city bred workman who
knows nothing Of farm work and
pays the price that the veriest hobo
exacts every summer when the
farmer has to haye help of some
sort and must put up with the best
he can get.

Howard, county superintendent OF
schools of that county, had rendered
his resignation and would associate
himself with school supply house.
Supt. Howard has made a good rec

seven years he has been in office and
is given credit for founding the
Rochester industrial school. School

large towns during the past few years
have been such as to make the fuel
proposition appear extremely attrac-

/ seed, and it is believed that no perma-
nent Improvement in quality or yield
is to be expected from the use of the
| tanning mill in seed selection.
At first thought it would seem that
if "like produces like" the large or
heavy seeds should produce the best
crop. However, we must recognize the
individual plant as unit for selection
rather than the individual seed. If
single plant of wheat be taken and the
kernels thrashed out it will be found
that all sizes of kernels are produced
by the plant, some large and some
small.
AS every wheat plant contains both
heavy and light seed, the tanning mill
gives almost the same kind Of wheat,
so far as Inheritance is concerned, in
the light wheat as in the heavy. 1t
must be remembered that reference is
made here to the permanent results
which may he expected from the use
of the tanning mill and that its use or
the use of screens for removing OBJ

SEED WHEAT.
Grade Generally Used Not Up to the
Standard.

OldnudTus
That the grade of seed wheat gen
orally used is not up to the standard
was ascertained in an investigation by
G.. W. Shaw of the California station,
who secured a large number of sam
pies of seed wheat over wide area in
the Sacramento and San Joaquin val
lcys of California to determine the
general character of the seed used by
the farmers of the state. In general
the samples showed that the quality
of seed used by most farmers is lack
ing in purity, perfection of develop
ment, weight per bushel, freedom from
weeds and freedom from bunt. 1t is
stated that practically all investiga-
tors have found the use of large,
plump seed and of high weight per
bushel the most profitable. No perma-
nent benefit is believed to be secured
from the frequent exchange of seed
unless better type of wheat or a
more vigorous strain of the same type
is obtained by the exchange The use
of seed from heavy yielding plants,
plump and heavy grain, clean wheat
and pure variety are considered by
him the most important points in seed
selection
In this connection the results secur-
ed by +. g. Montgomery of the Ne
braska station In an experiment with
seed wheat and seed oats selected by
the use of the tanning mill are of in
tercst In these experiments heavy
seed wheat as separated by the fan
ming mill did not show an improve
