Analyses of Seeds

Anticipating the operation Of the Will
son pure seed law, which is effective July
l, Commissioner Hudson of the agricul
tural department, recently caused to be
gathered 155 samples of agricultural
seeds on sale in the open markets. These
included timothy, alfalfa, clover, blue
grass and German millet, and the analyses
showed but five samples practically pure.
These were OF rape and sorghum.
The other samples showed from LOG
to 2S.S9 per cent foreign seeds. The
greatest adulteration was of Canada
blue grass; the least in buckwheat, CO.
10Oths per cent.
The new law provides that "no person
shall sell, offer, expose or have in his pos
esslon for sale for the purposes OF seed
ing, any seeds OF grasses or clover con-
tanning in excess of three per cent. foul or
foreign seed unless every package con-
tanning such seeds is plainly marked or
labeled with the per centum of such foul
or foreign seeds contained therein. Viola
tions are punishable by fine of $50 to
500 for the first otfense

Why Savings Banks Are
Essential.

Because people having money to invest
are often tempted by designing persons
to 90 into schemes which, while prom
ising large returns, usually bring disaster.
Probably there are no more shrewd,
ar-sighted, conservative investors OF
money than successful life insurance
companies.
They employ expert men-men who
make the study of investments their life
work. who pass upon all applications
for loans and investments; and it is a
fact which anyone can verify by getting
the insurance companies reports, that
four to five per cent interest is all these
companies are able to make their loans
average.
Those schemers who would go to un-
sophisticated women or inexperienced
men and tell them that they could just as
we'll get six per cent. as four, well know
that if their schemes were solid, SUBJ
stantial and safe, they could borrow
money by the million from these life in
surance companies.
The Lamoille County Savings Bank
and Trust Company of Hyde Park never
takes a note paying over six per cent.
If any person brings paper to that
bank which will pay more than six per
cent, it turns it down, because it wants
no better evidence that it is dangerous
than the fact that it offers to pay more
than SIX per cent.
What is the result?
In its more than twenty-three years of
existence, this bank has never lost dol
lar by poor note.
Safety rather than high rates Of in,
terest' is its motto; and, knowing this,
depositors, not only from Vermont, but
from every State in the Union Except
three select the Hyde Park Bank as
place of deposit for their savings.
You can send your funds there by mail
with absolute safety, and it is perfectly
safe to send them either in registered let
ter, postal money order, bank draft, per-
sonal check, or express money order.
During the entire existence of the HYDE
Park Bank, not dollar sent to it by
mail has ever been lost.
This bank pays four per cent, COM
pounded semi-annually, and pays all
taxes.
If you want to know all about its as
sets, liabilities, management, etc, address
a letter to Carroll S. Page, President, or
F. NJ. Culver, Treasurer, Hyde Park,
Vermont, asking therefor, and you will
receive prompt reply.

GENUINE TRIBUTE TO WOMAN
Robert G. Ingersol's Eloquent Appre-
citation OF the Qualities Of the
Genter Sex.

1t takes 100 men tt make an en-
home. | not only admire woman as
the most beautiful object ever created,
but | reverence her as the redeeming
glory of humanity, the sanctuary OF all
virtues, the pledge of all perfect quail
ties of heart and head. 1t is not just
nor right to lay the sins Of men at the
feet CT women. 1t is because women
are 50 much better than men that
their faults are considered greater.
mans desire is the foundation Of his
love, but a WCnan's desire Is born or
her love. The one thing in this world
that is constant, the one peak that
rises above ali clouds. the one win
dow in which the light forever burns,
the one star that darkness cannot
quench is woman's love. 1t rises to
the greatest heights, it sinks to the
lowest depths. 1t forgiTes the most
cruel injuries It is perennial Of life
and grows in every climate. Neither
GOODNESS nor neglect, harshness nor
cruelty can eXtinguish it. A womans
love is the perfume Of the heart. This
is the real love that subdues the
earth; the love that has wrought all
miracles of art; that gives US music
all the way from the cradle song to
the grand closing symphony that
bears the soul away on wings of fire.
A love that is greater than power,
sweeter than life and stronger than
death.-Robert G. Ingersoll.

FARMERS WARNED
Foreign Potatoes May Produce
Unknown Diseases if
Planted Here

O. L. Martin, of Plainfeld, agricultural
commissioner, has issued a warning to
farmers not to plant foreign grown po-
tatoes now being received in this state,
as they may produce disease that will
be hard to eradicate should it once gain
a toothold.
This is the notice:
Large quantities of foreign grown po-
tatoes are being received in this country
Their fine appearance and reasonable
cheapness, ncOmparison to home grown,
is a strong temptation for many of our
farmers to use them for seed don't do it.
In testing more than one hundred (1OO)
varieties, our National Department has
proven that they do not equal home
grown seed as producers. The great
danger however is in introducing several
new diseases as vet unknown here.
Tie most dreaded is the "Wart Dis
ease" Bulletin No. 80 of the Bureau of
Plant Industry and Farmers Bulletin
4S9 of the Department of Agriculture,
Washington, fully describes the same.
Spongosposa Scab, Black Legg and Leaf
Curl are Others.
The danger from these diseases is not
limited to a single season as soils o1;e
infected remain unfit for potato culture
for many years.
Foreign. grown potatoes should under
no circumstances be used for seed potatoes
Such potatoes are not adapted to our
soils and climate and will not return
profitable yields.
Several serious diseases not now prev
alent in this country are almost certain
20 be introduced ii such stock is used for
seed.
