REMEMBER TO IMPROVE SEED
IMPROVES THE FARM.

The above is the heading over sew
eral hundred thousand circulars be-
ing sent out by the grain commission
men of Minneapolis. They have seen
a constant deterioration in the quality
of grain raised and are taking steps
to encourage farmers to work for the
improvement of small grains. Fol
lowing is the circular:
That seed is composed OF three
parts, viz: g germ; germ; :, starch and
other compounds which rot and nour
ish the germ when it is planted; 3, a
coat which envelopes and protects the
soft inside.
That plants are individuals. They
mate, breed, and inherit qualities the
same as livestock
That the strongest germ, the larg
est amount of plant food and the best
coat are found in plauip, heavy ker.
nels. The first thing to do with any
lot of wheat to be used for seed is to
clean it, reclean it, and THEN
CLEAN If SOME MORE. If
properly done, you ought not to get
over 10 to 10 bushels of seed wheat
out of hundred bushel lot Such
severe cleaning as this removes every
particle of weed seed aud naturally
helps to free the land from noxious
weeds and increases the yield per
acre.
That when farmers become inter
ested in the matter of seed wheat,
about the first thing they do is to im
port, at great expense, some new vari
ETY. from a long distance, usually
Canada. This is wrong. If we can
hammer in this one fact, on one man
in hundred, we will consider our
selves we'll repaid Every agricultural
raj sch, every breeder of seed wheat,
and every other authority consulted,
agree that seed raised in your own
locality, carefully selected and clean
ed, is superior 10 any which can be
imported. The only sound reason
for importing seed is when the home
wheat is of such poor quality that the
process OF bringing il up by selec-
ton would take longer than to bring
in seed wheat of good quality and ac-
climate it.
! That varieties of wheat should be
kept absolutely pure. One great
fault with imported wheat is car Of
the most beautiful commercial wheat
that can be bought usually contains
from five to six different varieties,

FROM statehood it has always been
thecustom when the legislature meets,
to go after the newspapers red hot.
When the campaign is on and the
gentlemen are candidates, the news
papers are appealed to for help and
always respond. When the member
is elected and gets to Pierre some
of them forget the assistance given
them by the newspapers and when
some one introduces bill wiping the
newspapers off the earth on the plea
of economy, readily falls into trap
at former legislatures. and IT Is IN AL
probability the sime this year, there
has been level head d members
enough to see that the boys gets THEN

filibuster against a vote.

filibuster against vote.
This is bad news for such as Senate.
Bailey, who was preparing to open ne
food gates of his oratory with the
idea of talking reciprocity to death.
President Taft does not intend that
the beneficent arrangement between
this country and Canada should be
blighted by the simple expedient of
providing an oversupply of conversa-
ton.
The house will ratify the agreement.
1t seems probable that the Senate
will do likewise if under its peculiar
system of doing business it could get
a chance to vote at all. 1t is the
Presidents resolve that the Senate
shall have this chance. If that
dignifed and excessively deliberate
body cannot rule itself to the extent
of reaching a vote on the measure, if
it is to be prevented from expressing
itself by the rule which prevents a
vote as long AS any Senator has any
thing to say, then the extra session is
the only alternative. Senator Bailey
is strong and facile talker, but even
his strength and facility would wear
themselves out in an extra session,
and he would be forced in the end to
permit vote.
The question, then, is whether the
new Senate of March 4 will furnish
any better chance for the opponents
of reciprocity than the present Senate.
There will be numerous changes in
personnel, mostly in the direction of
Insurgency and Democracy. If the
Democratic contingent in the Senate
shows preponderating sentiment for
reciprocity, as the Democrats in the
House have done, the chances for the
agreement at an extra session ought
to be even better than in the present
Congress.
1t appears then hat the President
holds the whip hand, and that the
Senate filibusters NAV as well yeild
now as later. Reciprocity once ratified
will stand as the great achievement of
the Taft Administration, the most
statesmanlike thing it would have
accomplished in it's four years of
power. - Minneapolis Journal.

THE EXTRA SESSION THREAT

President Taft has learned some
things about how to handle Congress,
since he permitted himself at the out
set at his Administration to be out
generated on tariff revision. He now
insists that there shall be ga showing
of hands" in the Senate ON the reci
procity agreement, and the intima-
ton is plainly made that an extra SEES

WHEN some man will tell us how a
tariff on grain will boost the price Of
our 100000 bushels of wheat
surplus on the Liverpool market, We
will be able to see how the tariff
benefits the farmer. At the present
time the farmer is benefited only as
the tariff allows the price to be push,
ed up by the spectators, and the
spectators are condemned by nearly
every grainraiser.
