of County Organization, the other
by Mrs. Marshall on "Our Financial
Needs" The latter was paper
prepared by Mrs. Prescott Of Nampa
who was unable to be present.
The afternoon session was the
most largely attended and the most
interesting of the day, the evening
meeting suffering almost total
eclipse by reason of the cold rain
which began about 5 o'clock and
kept up an intermittent program of
its own until long past time for the
lecture by Mrs. Parker Mcdonald,
the noted platform lecturer and
notlonal organizer from Chicago.
The officers chosen for the county
union at it's organization last fall at

really is important, because the hip

Father Evers explained that the spot

probability was pond 1000 years ago.
Manhattan was not an island then, he
said, fer the North river was only a
stream, and all Manhattan was made
up of swamps and sea ponds. That
would account, he added, for the
strange, solidified mud in which the
bones were found.

Going After Crooked Seed Companies

FOLLOWING the instructions Of
i congress in the agricultural ap~
preparation bill, the secretary of agri-
culture this year continued the pur-
chase OF seed in the open market to
determine whether and how much
adulteration was practiced by seed
dealers. These samples were analysed
and the names Of the offending seed
men have been published.
The Ieatiet with the names of the
dealers from whom adulterated sam
pies were purchased shows that when
dealer has once been published it is
seldom that he is again caught IN the
list. When the department has been
analyzing a certain line OF seed the
adulteration in this also stops. In new
lines OF seed, however, there are more
offenders caught
Some of the samples analysed this
year showed the merest trace of seed.
The general showing was better, how
ever, than in previous years.
There were 1,214 samples of seed
! purchased, some of them in bulk and
some by mail order. OF these 204
were found to be adulterated. There
was some improvement in the line Of
