CHANGING SEED
NOT NECESSARY.
New Varieties Seldom Give Sat-
lSiaCtOry Results.

The records Of experiment stations
do not show a necessity for changing
seed grains to produce good and sat
isfactory yields. On the contrary,
these records show that as new seed
becomes adapted to locality and its en-
vironments the yield has increased,
with a tendency to improvement in
quality.
The results have been attained by
careful cleaning and grading each
year.
More than a thousand varieties of
grains have been tested at the Mime
sofa station, and 1t has become mat
ter of common observation that new
varieties from distant sources seldom
give satisfactory results until they be-
come well acclimated."
Observation and experiment further
show that the degeneration of varie-
ties, or the so called running out"
results from Careless selection Of seed
and poor tillage rather than from nat
ural causes The Minnesota station
would reserve the best field of grain
on the farm or the best pieces Of that
field for q seed plot and seek by the
use Of the tanning mill and grader to
increase the yield and make the varie-
| ty already grown more valuable to the
| locality.

coVERlEs OF SCIENCE BEFORE
LARGE HOUSE AT GRAND THE.
ATRE LAST NIGHT.

OF radium. liquid air and wireless tel
egraphy, before a large audience at
the Grand theatre Iast night. During
his lecture he gave a number of DEM
onstrations to illustrate his points
brought out and which more clearly
emphasized the marvels Of these fac
tors Of modern science.
In speaking OF wireless telegraphy,
he prophesied the passing OF the
lighthouse keepers for the government

with a wireless system which would
control the lights. He spoke OF the
wireless services for newspapers and
that at the present time paper was
operated on the Cataline islands in

We're printed aboard ship on the big
ocean liners for the convenience OF
the tourists crossing the Atlantic.
In addition to this, Professor Patty
gave number OF demonstrations with
stage, after which he discussed the
wonders Of radium, the great scientific
discovery OF Nine Curie OF Paris. He
showed how powerful radium is, and at
the same time what subdued light Ii
gives out. In its color Is blended the
shades of many minerals and previous
gems, which makes ii attractive in ap-
pearance. -Radium will make diamonds
phosporescent and he stated that it's
cost is $5,O0O,00O pound. Professor
Patty declared that there was only
pound and half In the whole world
at the present time
A demonstration In liquid air closed
the lecture. During this interesting
experiment, Professor Patty boiled
water on ice. He forged and welded
steel also on a cake Of ice and froze
alcohol. His lecture was one OF the
most interesting that has been given
In this city in a long while and one Of
the best numbers on the whole course
