YOUR SEED GRAIN
FARMERS CAN'T AFFORD TO
TAKE ANY CHANCES
ONLY ONE THIRD SPROUTED
Of a Sample of Wheat Raised in
Day County Last Year Which
was Tested by Experts-it
is of Very Low Ger
minating Quality

Farmers should be particularly care
full as to the terminating quality of
their seed grain this year and should
test it thoroughly before seeding time.
Seed with a high percentage of ger
m%inating qualities should be secured if
possible, if not, a sufficient quantity of
seed should be added at seeding time
to insure a good stand, the amount to
be determined by a test. Too much
care cannot be exercised in the selec-
tion of seed.
1t would be a good idea to bring this
proposition up at the farmers Institutes
held next month in the towns CT Day
county-make this discussion a special
feature.
The ACCESSIBILITY of such action may
be redily seen by the fact that the
wheat grown in this vicinity last year,
is of a very poor quality for seed, as
shown by an actual test, by competent
grain men.
The following letter is self explain
ing and will furnish food for reflection
to all progressive farmers:
The McCaul-W Webster Elevator Co.
Minneapolis, Mimi, Jan. %, 1912.
Mr.. A. 7. Cooper, Vice Pres.
Farmers and Merchants Natl. Bank,
Webster, S. Oak.
Dear Sir:
We have just made a terminating
test on a sample of wheat from Holm
quist and we find that a very small
percentage possibly not over one-third
of it sprouts.
| think it would be a pretty good
plan to have the farmers generally to
begin testing their wheat and, if it is
of low termination, they will then be
in position to use more seed per acre
than formerly.
Very truly yours,
j. l.. Mccall,
President.

School Notes

Miss Johnson, of Bristol, entered the
Senior class for the second semester.
The l911-12 basket ball boys had
their pictures taken last week.
The chs mistry class has commenced
the study of the PHOSPHORUS family.
The second semester of the school
year staf4ed Monday and twelve Fresh
men entered high school.
The German plays at the school
house auditorium turned out to be a
great success. The play came off with
very few mistakes on the part of the
players. Fraulein Aldrich received
many compliments for them and is very
proud of her German classes. The
song sang by the Misses Bess Efnor
and Emma Ross was pronounced by
everyone to be a good example of a
Dutch boy and girl. They adjourned
to the home of Miss Bess Elm or after
the play. Games were played and
refreshments served. A very pleasant
evening spent by everyone.
1t would be we'll for all those con-
temp.ating entering the primary class
in the grades to enter as soon as pos
sible as admission will be closed in a
short time.

%HILLEBRAND'S BIG SILO
TOOK THEM YEARS TO MAKE
UP THEIR MINDS
TO SPEND SO MUCH MONEY
In an Experiment But Last
Summer They Got Courage
And Now Have One of
The Best SiIos i'm
Day County

Homer Hillebrand was in our office
the other day and we asked him how
his experiment with the si.o was turn
ing out. He was simply enthusiastic
in the benefits to be derived by the
farmer from the silo. The cattle do
better, give more milk and it does not
begin to take as much raw material.
Another great advantage he spoke of
that during the fierce storms of winter
when a team could be driven no where,
it was a convenient thing to have a
silo full of feed in the barn yard.
Mr.. Hillebrand says that many of
the farmers of this vicinity have come
over and examined their success and
that next summer will see several of
them in existence before it's close.

The Milbank people are ali thorough

This was conclusively proven at the
contest between the girls basket ball
teams last week. The Milbank gils

their hurrah for Webster and after a
closely contested game, which was
anybody's all the time, and they found
they had lost by a score of % to %

ing the yell for Webster. They are a
fine lot of comley, well behaved young
ladies and we hope to see them again.

A Falls kumOr

Has got in circulation regarding the
horses that were ordered killed by DR..
Williams for CHAMBERS. The doctor had
the Hillebrand Brothers go over and
appraise the horses which were killed
and some one made the error that the
horses belonged to the Hillebrand boys.
This is untrue there has not been any
disease in the horses belonging to the
boys and such a report is a great
injustice.

The leases owned by the Williams,
Curtis & Wickre Cattle company again
changed hands yesterday Mr.. Wickre
purchasing the interests of David
Williams and VIM. Curtis to all right
and title whatsoever and he will con-
duct the business alone in the future.
Mr.. Wickre is an experienced stock
mar and buyer and has been the man.
ager of the company ever since its
inception and will undoubtedly be as
successful in this as he has been in
other business matters. There was no
dissatisfaction between the gentlemen.
Messrs. Williams and Curtis simply
wanted to retire from the stock bust
ness and it was but natural that Mr..
Wickre should have the first oppor-
tunity to purchase their interests.

Somehow or other of late years it has
seemed Mt. Carmel is never just exactly
sure in which legislative district it is

comes around. Originally, when Cava,
lier was divided into two legislative
districts, this precinct was in the
Eighteenth district, but by a little
g errymandering by politicians it was
S witched over into the eastern, or
Fortieth district. The Mt. Carmel
vote was evidently not appreciated by
the powers that were at that time in
the Fortieth and it again became
a part of the western or Eighteenth
district. Now comes the new Legislative
apportionment and Mt. Carmel agair
this fall casts it's votes for the repre-
sentative of the Fortleth district. Two

and by the people.
