those cities where the president will
spend from one to three days.
Strong efforts will be made by con.
gressmen and state officials to have
the president stop, at least for a few
minutes. at all the towns of appreci-
able size through which his train will
pass in the daylight hours. Already
the president has been bombarded
with such requests. He has suggested
to all his callers and correspondents
that they take the matter up with him
later.
During the trips he has made thus

policy of journeying in a single pri.
vate car attached to regular trains.
On his far western trip. however.
where trains are run heavier and at
longer intervals than here in the east,
it is likely the president will have
to follow the policy of his predecessors
in chartering special train. especially
If he stops at the smaller cities that
dot the way between the larger places

The president expects to be away
for two months on this trip, and will

ITO presents in a popular form the
most important results secured by the
Nebraska Seed Laboratory from the
time of its establishment to July l.,
1908, together with q statement show
ing the various tests made up to May

Alfalfa.-The POI samples of alfalfa
examined varied in purity from Sc per
cent to 80 per cent; in termination
from Sc per cent to 100 per cent and
contained from OIL per cent of inert
matter and from 0 per cent to Sc per
cent of foreign seed: Four species of
dodder were found in varying
amounts. One Sample of alfalfa con-
tanned over 9 per cent of dodder and
if this seed had been sown at the
rate of 16 pounds to the acre there
would have been sown 1886 dodder
