One idea advanced by the speaker
was that of a law requiring the man

their product to show it's character.
Food products are now labeled so that
the purchaser may know what he is

titled to the same protection She
does not ask for law which will
change the character Of the articles
manufactured but the percentage Of
wool. linen, silk, etc, in piece of

know just what is being purchased.

TEST RYE SEED.
BY Thomas Cooper.

Seed rye should be tested for
viability the same as any other grain
before planting. Obtain the best seed
from the crop grown on your own farm
or in your vicinity. Select the best
and heaviest kernels by the use of a
grader and be sure 1t is clean from
seeds of weeds. 90 "sg
The termination test is made by
placing 100 kernels on damp white blot
ting paper first placed in a shallow pie
pan. Cover over with another pan
and set aside for five or six days. Rye
should test at least $50.

HARVESTING RYE.
Andrew Boss, MINI. Station.


National Crop Improvement Service.J
Rye is handled with self-binder, In
the same fashion as other grains, and
shocked in good-sized round shocks.
To secure the best quality of grain and
straw, the shocks should be capped,
although this practice is not always
followed.
The rye straw sold for collar
stuffing purposes in Minnesota is pre-
pared by failing out the grain. Where
special markets for straight rye straw
are being catered to special threshing
machines have been devised, which
keep the straw straight during thresh-
ing without breaking it badly.
Where the straw IS used for bed
ding, the crop is threshed in the same
way as other cereal crops.

CARE OF RYE.
After Sowing Crop Needs Little Care
Until Time Of Harvest.
BY Raymond oIney, M. RumIey Co.

INationarC Crop Improvement Service.]
After sowing, the rye crop will need
but little care until harvest time If
the crop has been sown early, for
pasturage during the fall and Is to be
left for grain crop, it should not be
allowed to make fall growth enough
to form heads. Close pasturage will
prevent such tendency.
On land that is likely to be dry, it is
good practice to go over the land in
the spring with light slant-tooth
harrow, breaking the crust of the soil
and forming a light dust mulch No
other crop serves better as a nurse
crop than rye and grass seed sown in
the spring and covered with a harrow,
and protected against evaporation by
the dust mulch it is almost sure to
make a stand the following season.

An Uncanny Old Mansion.

The old manor house of Fritwell.
near Banbury. has been the scene of
several tragedies. and the local legend
is that it is haunted by the ghosts of
two of the victims. In duel there a
Mr.. Jackson was killed about the year
1712. when the place was let to a fam
lily named Longueville. There were
two brothers. both Of whom were in
love with the same woman. The
younger imprisoned the other in a hu-
man dog kennel in an attic, so the
story runs. and kept him there for
fourteen years until he died of starva-
ton. few years later Sir Baldwin
Wake bought the estate. Sir Baldwin
and his two sons were playing cards
very late one night when a quarrel
arose. The tradition Is that the father
struck his eldest son so heavy a blow
that he died Immediately. The father
and the youngest son concealed the
body in the kennel which had seen the
death of Longueville. Twelve years
afterward Sir Baldwin is said to have
confessed on his deathbed that he had
caused the death of his son. The hu.
man dog kennel, to which access was
gained through the sliding back of a
cupboard. remained until ten years ago
when the house was renovated.-Dun.

Lost the Prize.

James Crossley, noted English bib
liomaniac, hied him one memorable
day to a bookstall in Shudehill market
and, spying little volume. took it up
and glanced carelessly through it.
After awhile he asked its price from
an old woman and was told it was
two and sixpence. "Tll give you six
pence for it," said Crossley. Nay
replied the poor old dame: 1T cost me
2 shillings." Whereupon our book de
vourer threw it down in disgust and
retired. A gentleman, overhearing the
alteration, stepped forward and pur
chased it at the sum demanded. Cross
ley returned soon after and. noticing
the book had gone, anxiously inquired
what had become of it. Sold" an
swered the woman. for what you re
fused to give" Tell me who bough,
1t. and I'll give him 10 shillings fol
it, said Crossley eagerly. The mora
is self evident.

A Siberian Wonder.

The scientists have for years been
perplexed over the wonderful frozen
well at Yakutsk, Siberia. AS long ago
as 1928 it was announced that the
ground was frozen to an abnormal
depth at the place referred to. In the
summer of 1929 a Russian merchant
set gang Of men to the task of ascer-
tanning the depth of the frozen stratum.
They gave up the job after digging
some thirty feet in solidly frozen
ground. The Russian Academy of Sci
ences took the matter in hand and be-
tween 1888 and 1874 dug to a depth of
$50 feet and then abandoned the shaft
because the earth was still frozen as
hard as a rock. Natural cold could
never penetrate to such a depth, and
the phenomenon is still unexplained.
