SEED HINTS
FOR FARMERS

About seeding time, and in fact
some weeks before. the farmer begins
to study the seed for his crops. This
is large problem for all progressive
farmers and each year the 81 ;cessful
farmers grow mOre.criticai about the
seeds tor planting. The Van Dusen-
Harrington grain company has is
sued a little booklet from which the
following suggestions: are taken:
The nlan with foresight and judge
ment and energy does not SOW with

The age Of the sacd has much to do
with the vitality or terminating pow

best.

is not enough plant food stored up
and that the little pl,l.,t .is>stuntetl.

DO not think OF sowing wheat after

oats in immediate following years.
Place some other sorts OF crops in be-
tween and u cultivated grass crop
whenever possible. including pasture.
This proper crop rotation will give the
diseases which attack wheat u chance
to die out OF the soil before a new
wheat crop is put OH the land. This

is especially necessary with reference
to flax.
Kind Of Grain to Sow.

Sow only pedigreed varieties Of
grain if possible. In any case SOW
pure varieties. Ii they are not pure
select until they are. The market
price is always better for pure
wheat than for a mixture. White
oats are xorth more than a black or
yellow mixed. The six-rOw bearded
barley has proven best for American
farmers. Sae that it is not mixed
with twO-ww or beardless. When
varieties are nlixe'l the chances are
that the ai~ld will ripen unevenly and
II loss ia quality results. A plump
heavy keraaal OF grain will produce Il
stronger plant and Mourisl it better
than vii! shrunken. light kernal.
Many tests have proven this and have
also shown tAat heavy wheat will
yield about live bushuls more per ac-
re than light; and heavy oats about
eight or ten hs,shels more than light
oats.

wheat, oats and barley are subject to

A SERIOUS FINANCIAL MIx,UP
State May Sue Counties On
Account of Many Tax
Rates Established

The Carson Appeal Of Decem-
Der 20 says: This morning Coun-
ty Treasurer Patterson rendered
the Ormsby County money to the
State, the sum being s4,S70.39.
This money was the State appor-
tionment collected under a rate
of 60 cents as provided by the
statute of 1911. The money was
taken to the Treasurer, but no
clearance papers were given the
county, as there IS a dispute over
the rate.
1t appears that a later or con-
flicting law was passed in which
a rate of Ga cents was added, this
coming from a complication of the
school law. Nine counties in the
State fixed the rate and collected
at 60 cents. Seven counties fixed
a rate of Ga cents, while one coun-
ty collected a portion at 60 and
the balance at Ga cents, leaving
an elegant middle all along the
line. After the tax rate had been
fixed by the different Boards Of
Assessors an opinion from the
Attorney-G General sets the rate at
Ga cents. This is the condition
the affairs are in.
There is q question as to what
the counties and State can or will
do. 1t is a sure thing that the
counties that have collected from
the taxpayers on the 60 cent basis
cannot re-collect for the past year
1t is possible that the State ma
sue the counties for a refund OIL
the shortage as advised by the
Attorney General.
The entire trouble seems tc
have been from the fact that the
rate was not properly defined un.
der the law, as there is an appar.
|ent conflict in the statutes as i
appears in the code.
In case of suit all nine coun-
ties will be made defendants
while one county has a split in
its rate that has made a discrim.
ination on its taxes with the PEG.
pie.
