ment. For example. the results Of
the i25 tests OF red clover seed made
this spring BY the Seed Laboratory
ranged all the way from so per cent
TO ss.6 per cent pure seed and from
20 per cent to 81 per cent germina-
ton. Some contained no weed seeds
at all. while others contained more
than 90.000 TO the pound. Some sam

in case of red clover. but OF all the
farm seeds.
Not only the loss OF money paid
for the seeds. which Ia really a small
item, but the failure to obtain crops
can be prevented by knowing the
value OF the seed which is planted.
The Department will make tests of
all agricultural and vegetable seeds
for any farmer in the State free of
charge and reports will be sent TO him
promptly. In case the seed does not
come up to the standard of good
seed, the lot may be returned to the
dealer from whom il was purchased
and the money refunded or a good
quality OF seed given in exchange,
whichever the purchaser desires. In
submitting samples to be tested, for
thes mailer seeds. such as red clover
and the grasses, one-half OF a teacup
will be sufficient; for the larger
seeds, such as the cereals, more
should be sent.
Address all samples to the Seed
Testing Laboratory, Department of
Agriculture, Raleigh, n. c., with the
following information: Retail price

He favored more stringent provisions

Il was amazed to discover in the
report OF the Democratic committee

Beers formerly lived in Iowa. and

Several members on the Demo

Representative Mcclure (Republi-

that the Oklahoma State laws for

Representative Rucker Democrat,
Missouri) shortly after the House met
to-day.
What the Bill Aims At.
The bill adds new sections to the
present law. providing that the treas

lions with the clerk Of the House not
later than ten days before election
and supplemental statements each
sixth day thereafter. A final state

recording that, would there?" asked
Cooper( Republican

NO." answered Rucker. THE
law could be evaded in that way and
we wouldn't be able to trace such a

Agent L. s. Department OF Agricul-
ture Writes of Necessity of Weed
ers and Harrows.


Mr.. c. r. Hudson, special agent of
the United States Department of Ag-
r1culture, in charge of the farmers
cooperative demonstration work in
North Carolina, has just mailed the
following circular letter to the men
who are supervising the work in their
respective counties:
Again We beg to call your atten-
ton to the Importance of inducing
farmers to run weeders, harrows or
other forms of light cultivators in
tensively and extensively at this sea-
son of the year. To fail to do so is
to fail to make the biggest yields pos
slbIe at minimum cost.
The first object to be accomplish
ed is to prepare a proper seed-bed.
Land that has been broken early
should be disk-harrowed to put it in
a proper mechanical condition. Land
that is just now being broken should
have some form of harrow run over
1t the same day to pulverize turfs or
clods and to prevent the EVAPORATION
OF moisture. We are sure to need
the moisture before the summer
growing period is over. II left sew
eral days the clods become hard and
large amount of moisture NAV es-
cape. Keeping the soil loose on ton
saves the moisture. Stirring the soil
lets the air into it. This makes plant
1000 available for the use of growing
crops. Plants will not grow well
many days IL the soil Is so compact
that air cannot enter it. 1t also lets
the sun warm the surface. The air
and the sun are two great purifiers to
the soil. IL land is so dry that II
breaks into clods a roller should be
run over it to crush them. The har-
row should follow Immediately. 9th
erW1se much moisture is lost. II
planting is not done at once, run the
narrow once or twice more. When
planting is done, do not wait for the
SEED TO come up, but run the imple-
ments every eight to twelve DAYS and
continue until the corn or cotton Is
several inches high. This dislod~ee
the weed and grass seeds when thew
are terminating and destroys them
before they get hold in the soil. The
farmer who uses these implements
properly never sees grass in hIe
fields.
whenever a good rain settles or
PACKS the soil, start with the weeder
Just as soon as the soil ID dry enough
10 mold up horse. To wait a sin.
gle day too long is to get poor re-
suits from this work. This is WIN
we see so many farmers nuttin .
rocks or chuncks on the harrow o-
even riding upon it. They have los,
tneir opportunity by waiting too lon .

weights of any kind If intelligence Is
