TIME TO TEST
SEED GRAIN
IMPROVING THE SEED IMPROVES
YOUR FARM.
MEANS MILLIONS TO STATE
GOOD SEED WILL INCREASE THE
CROP ON EVERY S. D. FARM.

Now is the time for the farmer to
test his seed. A little work at this
time may he the means Of making you
considerable money when you come to
harvest your crop next fall. There is
no question but what poor seed means
a loss of millions of dollars to South
Dakota farmers every year, and there
is no good reason why this should be
so. 1t is impossible to get absolutely
perfect seed, but the quality can be
greatly improved by the proper meth
DDS of testing.
A seed is composed of three parts,
namely: A germ; starch and other
compounds which rot and nOurish the
germ when it is planted; a coat which
envelopes and protects the soft inside.
Flants are individuals. They mate,
breed and inherit qualities the same
as live stock.
The strongest germ, the largest
amount of plant food and the best
coat are found in plump, heavy kern
els. The first thing to do with any
lot of wheat to be used for seed is to
Clean 1t, Re-Clean 1t and then Clean
1t Some More. If properly done you
ought to get not over ten to fifteen
bushels of seed wheat out of a hun
Iral hnChn1 LOT S,tnh Snynrn nInaninp
as this removes every particle of weed
seed and naturally helps it to free the
land from noxious weeds and in.
creases the yield per acre.
When farmers become interested in
the matter of seed wheat, about the
first thing they do is to import, at
great expense, some new variety from
a long distance, usually Canada. This
is wrong. If We can hammer in this
one fact on one nan in a hundred, we
will consider ourselves well repaid.
Every agricultural school, every
breeder of seed wheat and every other
authority consulted, agree that seed
raised in your own locality, carefully
selected and cleaned, is superior to
any which can be imported.
Varieties of wheat should be kept
absolutely pure. One great fault with
imported wheat is that a car of the
most beautiful commercial wheat that
"a be bought usually contains from
five to six different varieties, and may
contain as high as twenty. If you
want to experiment with new varieties,
plant a small plot and keep it separate.
The main crop should be of standard
variety until the new seed has proved
better in yield and quality for at least
three years.
Home grown seed, rigid .eparation
of the good kernels from the common
and inferior ones, careful attention to
the purity of the seed and the rejec-
ton of weedy and foul seed, will in
crease the crop in any section from )
to Is per cent.

A COLLEGE NOTES.

luS COiOHidi parry given NY the All
Club in the college armory Friday
evening, was one of the most beautiful
and artistic costume parties ever held
at the college. The main armOry hall
had been prettily and appropriately
decorated for the occasion, and a stage
had been constructed in the form of a
colonial porch, with a garden wall on
each side. The guests, attired in col
oniai styles, began to arrive at S
o'clock and We're received by Prof. and
Mrs. Bates and the Misses Caldwell
and Knutson. The evenings program
eliminated in a Virginia reel. Follow
ing this came a very realistic tableaux,
the William Penn Treaty with the In
diens. In the next number Prof. Pow
ers read a part of the "Courtship of
Miles Standish." The love scene was
eXcellently presented in pantomime By
Messrs. Jacks n and Quinn and Miss
Nina Wood, representing Miles Stan
dish, John Alden and Priscilla, respec-
lively. Next was a very pretty
minuet; then followed an informal
social time. The evenings program
was concluded by the serving of
dainty refreshments. The party was
a most enjoy able one and all who
were present feel greatly indebted to
the Art Club for the delightful enter
tainment given them.
One of the best basketball games of
the season will be played by the State
College and Aberdeen Normal teams,
in the college gymnasium next Fri
day evening. The Northern Normal
has always had a fast basketball team
and their present quint has already
made an enviable record this season.
An admission fee of so cents will be
charged.
At the regular Tuesday chapel ex
ercises this and last week, Rev. Dore-
mus entertained the students and fac
ulty by reading Israel Zangwill's new
play, THE Melting Pot" The idea in
volved in this suggestive title of the
play is that America is a melting pot
or crucible in which the peoples from
all lands are fused into a great broth
erly nationality. This idea is beautifully
carried out by a most interesting love
romance between a young Jewish vio-
linist and the charming daughter of a
Russian baron. The bitter enmity be-
tween the Russian and Jewish nation
alities strongly manifests itself and
threatens to wreck the romance, but
love predominates. Rev. Doremus has
exceptional ability as a reader and
his realistic presentation of the play
made these two chapel programs
among the best of the year. Presi-
dent Slagle has planned to have sew
eral high class plays thus presented
at the regular Tuesday chapel exer-
cises during the coming weeks.
Prof. H. B. Potter, formerly instruc-
tor in the agronomy department, was
a visitor at the college on Monday
and Tuesday of this week. Prof. Pot
ter is now an instructor at the Iowa
State College.
Prof. C. Larsen left for Canton
Thursday evening to give an address
on Feeding Ensilage.' Cliff Johnson
had charged of the dairy classes dur
ing his absence.

the special design of eliminating the
restrictions upon immigration con-

The essential difference between the

reference to such restrictions and
leaves to the national honor of Japan
the enforcement at her own ports of

that country now expressly placed
