GOOD SEEDS MAKE GOOD GAR.
DENS,

Seeds of the best quality are apt to
fail through improper treatment, by
sowing the seed too deep or too shall
low; in too wet or too dry soil. Seeds
differ greatly as to temperature re-
qulred for termination. Some will
terminate rapidly at a certain tenn
perature, while others, IL sown under
the same conditions. are apt to decay,
and for these reasons 1t is imperative
that great care and judgment be exer-
cised in selecting seeds, planting and
caring for your crops.
Be sure that you select your seeds
early. to avoid possible delay in get
ting your order delivered. and also to
fortify yourself against any possible
rise in prices, which is sure to come
to the late purchaser. Seeds for west
ern planting must be particularly
adapted to this climate, altitude and
conditions. The large seed houses.
such as the Barteldes company Of
Denver. have experts constantly test
ing and grading their output. SO as to
improve the quality wherever possible.
There is no question Of doubt but that
the splendid record the Rocky Noun
tain country is making in yield per
acre is due in no small degree to the
fine quality of acclimated seeds that
are being SO generally used.

Italian biologists have a puzzle to

Mount Blanc Of the body OF a white
bear. which has been brought to Aosta
II was thought at first that the bear
must have died some three hundred
years ago. and must have been pre-
served by the ice. since II has always
been held that white bears vanished
from the Alps three centuries ago. But
1t has since been demonstrated that
death could only have taken place a
few days previous to discovery. Al
this would seem to show that there
are still white bears in the Alps. ex.
