elevators TO
CLEAN seed GRAIN
ONE OF THE LEADING CONCERNS
HAS FORWARDED lNsTRUc.
TloNs TO AGENTS RECENT
: CONSULTATION or PROFESSOR
5oLLEY PRODUCES RESULTS.

While in Minneapolis in consulta-
ton with members of the Chamber of
Commerce, Professor Bolley found
that there were number of men who
are willing to instruct their agents to
clean up seed grain for farmers free
OF charge IL the farmers would only
bring it in to their mills. This would
be great favor to many farmers who
do not happen to have seed cleaning
machinery
Professor Bolley conferred with a
large number of managers of elevator
companies, and they have agreed to in
struct their agents to open their
places Of business for cleaning seed
grain for all those farmers who do
not have machinery for doing that
work
One of the leading companies has
already forwarded a circular to every
one of it's agents instructing them to
put their seed cleaning machinery in
shape and invite the farmers to make
use of it. This letter of instruction
says in part:
For such farmers as have not their
bring their seed grain to our elevator
we will clean it to the very best of our
ability free of all expense to the farmer.
and return to him all the screenings
and light weight grain taken out On.
your part we ask that you get right
busy and get your cleaners in good
shape to handle the grain, il it is not
ydaerla ~ 12S456 1905. 12345-)
SO already. Call up your friends over
the telephone and let them know that
you are prepared to clean their seed
grain free Of charge and give them
back their screenings and light weight
grain, only on their part they must
not put it off until the last thing, as, if
there are many who want this done
for them it cannot all be done Just at
seeding time"
1t is to be hoped that many farmers
who are unable to procure machinery
and have light weight grain will take
advantage of such kindly offers on the
part of the elevator men and mill men
of the state and clean their grain before
sowing until it is of the finest quality
1t should be remembered that weavy
weight wheat is what is wanted. It is
not particularly desirable to have the
biggest grains but it is desirable to
heve the grains which are the heav-
lest and the brightest color.
Farmers who do not know whether
their seed grain will grow or not and
are contemplating buying any kind
Of seed should send the samples to the
seed laboratory Of the Agricultural
college and have them tested before
they spend money on them. No
farmer should take chances on wasting
his labors by placing poor weak seed
or seed containing foul seeds in the
ground.

MAIL SERVICE IMPROVED.
Business Men of That City Get Their

Williston, N. D., Feb. Am order
has been issued by the postoffice de-

Culbertson, Mont, the mail to go for

Heretofore this pouch had been
made up and thrown off at WllIiston

The change will be a great advant-

an economic law. The future farm

they are not interested in farming IN
the years their minds are most plastic
and susceptibility they cannot be
shown that all men are dependent up
on the farmer and that agriculture is
one of the most dignified OF profess
sions they, like thousands of other
country boys and girls, wifi leave the
farm and rush to the. city.
To conserve future farmers is just
as important as to conserve the fer
tility of the soil Land, to produce,
must be intelligently titled. Where
millions are being expended to con-
serve the soil, scarcely one dollar is
being spent to keep the boys and girls
On the farm Any movement which
has for its object the vitaliZation of

During the past five years, Mr..
Randlett has been supervising con-

fruit canning, bread making, sewing,
and many other activities among the
boys and girls of the rural schools in
North Dakota.
These contests have been conducted
through the Office of the county super
intendents. Like all great enterprises,
these contests had small beginning.
They, however soon assumed enor-

passed thirty-two counties in the
state entered the contest. Eight thou
sand boys and girls competed for hon.
ors. All could not win Ninety five
(sixty five boys and thirty girls) Of
the 5000 won. Their products had
scored the highest. They had shown

love of country life.
