Treatment OF FLAX SEED
Prof. Bolley Would Like Informa.
tion Regarding Formaldehyde
Treatment of Flax Seed

The. following circular .of inquiry
has been sent to number of indi-
vidual growers around the state, but
Prof: Bolley would like to have it
receive as much circulation as possi-
BILE and would like to hear from any
flax grower who has had experience
along the lines indicated Prof. Boil
ley says:
I am trying to get together infor-
nation from a large number of per-
sons located in different parts of the
state for the purpose of ascertaining
whether tormaldehyde as applied in
flaxseed treatment by farmers is gen.
orally paying proposition or wheth-
or it is a failure. I would be glad
to have any facts Or information you
can give.
1. Did you treat your seed be-
fore sowing?
2. Did you grade it we'll before
treating.
3. About what yield did you get
per acre?
4. Was it sown on new or old
ground?
S Do you think the ground was
previously fax sick?
Do you think the treatment
did or did not pay?
s Did you plant any other fax
without treating? How did the two
crops compare, when similar seed
was planted on same day and on
same kind of land?
An early report on these questions
will aid us greatly in deciding as to
experiment for another year. I will
be glad to have any information that
you may give.-H. L. Bolley, Botan-
list and State Seed Commissioner,

CONDUCTOR keller
'' KILLED
n. p. PASSENGER CONDUCTOR
MEETS SAD FATE AT
DILWORTH
Was Run Over by Passenger Train
No. 8 and Killed Tuesday
Afternoon

Word was received here Tuesday
evening of the sad death of one of
the best known Northern Pacific rail-
road men on the Dakota and Fargo
divisions. j. E. Keller of James,
town who has been in the employee
of the N. P. for many years, was
run over and killed by west-bound
local passenger train No. 9 at $50
p. M, Tuesday evening. The acci-
dent happened about 200 feet east
of the passenger station at Dilworth.
Mr.. Keller was walking along on
the east-bOund track, and a train
was approaching from the east on
the west-bound track. For some un-
known reason Mr.. Keller stepped
onto the west-bound track and was
run over and died soon after the
accident occurred. He apparently
did not notice the approaching train,
although the engineer whistled a
number of times. The brakes were
applied as soon as possible, but too
late to save the unfortunate mans
life. According to the engineer Of
No. 9, Mr.. Keller appeared at first
walking at a safe distance from the
rails but stepped onto the track just
in time to be struck. Mr.. Keller and
family recently moved from James,
town to Fargo and resided at 1917
First avenue south, in that city. The
remains will be brought to James,
town for interment.
Mr.. Keller leaves, besides his wife,
four sons, Charles, Archie, Delroy
and James, and three daughters,
Ruth, Esther and Grace. A daugh-
ter, Violet, died in October last.
Mr.. Keller's untimely death will
b sincerely mourned in jamestown
by his many friends as well as by
the members of his family. He was
man who loved his home and was
great success as home builder.
No more precious inheritance can be
left to the members of his family
than the memory of their father
and his efforts to make for all a hap
py home.
On receipt of telephone message
from Fargo announcing the accident,
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Keller and
Archie Keller left last evening on
No. 8 for Fargo. Mrs. Fred Wood,
sister of Mrs. Keller, went down on
No. 6 this morning. Further parti-
culars will be announced later.

GOOD SEED CORN
NEEDED
EARLY NOVEMBER FROST IN
JURED CORN, FOR SEED
PURPOSES

Where are you going to get YGSl
seed corn for the 1912 planS RA
This is a question that confrSnts
many North Dakota corn growers,
who grew a good crop of corn in
1911, and several hundred prospec-
fGve corn growers, who have as yet
grown no corn in North Dakota.
There is practically no good seed
corn produced in North Dakota the
past season to be had at any price
because the fall weather was quite
wet and growers failed to pick their
seed corn as they should have done
before the zero weather of Novem-
Der first. This exceptionally low
temperature when the corn was wet,
though fully mature, has in very
many cases completely killed the
seed. In other cases fifty per cent is
still good seed and in exceptional
cases seventy-five per cent Of the
ears will grow fairly we'll.
If you have corn that belongs to
either of the latter classes-save as
much of it for seed as you can. Dry
it in the attic or in a spare room at
q temperature of about so degrees.
Make germinator by filling square
box an inch and half deep with an
inch of sand. Rule white paper
cover in squares an inch and half
to side, give each square number
corresponding to the number of an
ear of corn to be tested. Take six
<kernels one from the tip, butt, and
center and from different sides of
each ear and place over a square,
moisten and cover with sheet of
wet paper and keep moist and in
warm place. Select only the ears
for your own seed in which the entire
six kernels germinate strong and
quickly. This will require little
work but it may save you the cost
Of buying southern seed, which prob
ably would not mature corn next
year as If you plant your own seed
it will give you perfect stand. This
one acre of tested seed might yield
you more net profit than ten acres
untested seed. Test each individual
ear of seed corn now. Know def
nitely whether your seed corn is f1t
for seed or not.
