There is a preference for a represent

On the other hand, republicans are be-

HAVE YOUR SEEDS TESTED

HAVE YOUR SEEDS TESTED
One of the greatest sources
of weeds on the farm is the
sowing of impure seed. Too
much impure aeed ia gown, and
too much seed that will not
germinate is put into h e
ground. A farmer ought to
know just how much pure seed
he is sowing and what per cent
of it will grow when planted.
This information can be OBJ
tanned only through a purity
and termination test of the
seed.
The Seed Laboratory at the
Minnesota Experiment Station
makes both purity and germin-
alton tests of all seed, free of
charge, for the farmers of this
state. Every farmer ought to
avail himself of this opportun-
ity of having his seeds tested.
Any sample addressed to the
Seed Laboratory, Experiment
Station, st. Paul, MINI, will be
tested both for purity and ger
mination. In sending seed, get
a good average sample from
the bin Or sack, and send a
large handful.
Do NOT wait until it is too
late. Have your seed tested at
once.-W. L. Osborn, Universi.
