SEED INSPECTION.

The matter of good seed has never
eceiyed much attention from Okla
loma farmers Individual farmers In
The state have paid some attention to
,eedbreeding, but vast majority
Aave been content to use any mill or
gin-run seeu that they had on hand.
( they had no seed on hand at plant

or. gin or feed store and purchased
seed that perhaps was of several
arieties, and might have been more

his kind. the dealer Is not to blame.
dea.er usually tries TO Keep on
and the quality of merchandise that
he buyer demands, and the farmers
ave not yet created demand for
ure seed. sufficient to force the
callers to keep good seed on hand, or
warrant them paying the larger
rice necessary to secure good seed.
this instance, the fault lies
rimarily with the farmer. However,
mother condition is growing up in the
tate where the fault lies in the greed
nd dishonesty Of certain class OF
seed dealers and seed peddlers'
'hese men, realizing that many
1rmers are awakening to the i'm.
ortance Of good seed, are advertising
or sale, seed OF fabulous purity and
roductiyeness, at eXhorbitant
rices In many instances, this
wonderful" seed is Of the poorest
uality possible, and the farmer who
urchases it, is not only defrauded,
Mt his faith in the value of good
aed Is badly shaken and he Is there
fter apt to content himself with
eed grown on his own farm, no mat
er how poor the quality.
For the protection of both the
armers and the honest seed growers,
we'll as to encourage seed breed
ng within the state, the Board OF
agriculture last fail devised a plan OF
eed inspection which may be taken
dyantage of by farmers who wish 70
ave the approval of the department
n seed which they have for sale
his inspection is not mandatory, but
merely for the protection of both
,uyers and sellers OF seed.
Briefly, the plan is this: any bona
ide farmer in the state having SEED
or sale, may have same inspected by
le Agricultural Department by pay
az the cost of the inspection. If the
eed is found to be of good quality
nd reliable, a certificate OF inspection
win be issued to the grower. A list
those having inspected seed Tor
ale will be published each month in
he Press Bulletin OF the Board OF
agriculture, and printed lists VIII be
ent out to all inQuirers.
The advantages OF inspection are
twofold. The grower will have prooi
nat his seed is reliable, aud the
,armer or seedman who purchases the
seed will be protected against fraud.
Farmers having good seed for sale
ihOula at once have same Inspected,
IS the lists of seed growers for this
5ear are now being prepared. In
uiries as to growers Of good seed
each the Department every day and

years old, the mother of four sons. the
youngest of whom is only 5 weeks old,

suit of an attack made on her in her

They didn't wait for me to answer
their question about the money, but
with one of the baby's garments tied
a gag about my mouth so tight that l
could scarcely breathe. Then with
more clothes and towels they tied my
hands and feet. They then went to the

men were beating and tying his mother.

'DOUDS-LEANOO
. DAM Gets BOOST
GREAT MEETING OF VAN BUREN,
COUNTY RESIDENTS AT
TOWN HALL.

Douds-Leando, Aug. 4.-There was
a large meeting for the promotion OF
the Douds.Leahdo dam project at the
town hall in Douds recently. The
meeting was called by the Douds-
Leando Improvement association and
was in charge of its president, H. V.
BUGGY. L. B. Bradley, engineer OF the
Des Moines River Power Co., was the
first speaker. Mr.. Bradley explained
what the plans of the company were
as to the erection Of two dams that
would furnish 1000 horse power each,
stating that nothing was asked from
the people of Douds and vicinity ex-
cept their good will and assistance in
securing contracts for the purchase OF
lands that would be overlooked as a
result Of the construction Of the dam.
He stated contracts had been secured
for practically all lands that would be
affected between Keosauqua and the
proposed Douds dam, and now the
question was up to the people above
the Douds dam as to what they would
do. He hoped to receive the same ef-
fective support and assistance that ne
had at Keosauqua; but If there was
motif there were great obstacles IN
the way, there was the alternative OF
abandoning the attempt to erect dam
at Douds and locate one below keo-
sauqua.
r. r. McBeth and w. M. Walker
each made strong addresses in favor
Of the dam. DR.. Mcclure, Captain Pen
ny, J. M. Morrow, A. l.. Douds and sew
eral other Douds people spoke, and all
were heartily in favor of the project.
Several motor cars of people from
Keosauqua, twenty eight in all, In
Guiding business men, county officers,
attorneys. editors and others attended
the meeting. 1t was surely a good
send-off for the Douds dam.
