at the City Halt

In an exciting game between the
schools of Alexandria and Sank Gen.
tire, played at the city hall last Fri
day evening, the local girls lost, 6 to
o, while the local boys team won, 1s
to Ii.
The visiting girls had the better of
the argument and seemingly had lit
tie difficulty in winning. The locals,
for some reason, did not play up to
their true form.
The boys game was a battle royal
from start to finish. Both teams
started in with a rush and this was
kept up till the whistle blew announc-
ing the final score. Alexandria scored
the first three points, but after two
minutes of play the locals took the
lead and held it to the end.
Sauk Centre played in true form
and mixed n every play. Alexandria
was not so slow. either, playing hard
every minute, making the game some
what rough. But all in all it was a
good contest with both teams making
good passes and giving the audience
an exhibition of true basketball.
Who would have ever thought that
S. P. Hansen Jr. had the reach of a
ten foot pole. He outplayed his big
tall opponent at every turn and made
himself famous as an all star center.
Capt. Hogan, Parker, Eckenrod,
and Wicklund were not so, slow, and
all STARRED In their positions. Gin
gerry substituted for Hogan, who was
slightly hurt in the early part of the
game, and guarded excellsntly.
As usual the band was on hand and
rendered some fine music that kept
all In good spirit. Their support is
greatly appreciated. This IS probably
the last Of the series Of games that
will be played with local high schools.
The boys are now organizing base
ball team that will make some Of the
high schools travel at q rapid pace to
keep up. The gate receipts were

Necessity of Securing Right Kind
Of Stuff to Plant
MUCH OF IT IS POOR
Thorough Testing Should Be Made
Ia Order to Secure Seed That
Will Germinate
AN IMPORTANT MATTER
Practical Suggestions To Farmers
To Ascertain Whether Seed
Is Good or Not

The question of where good seed
corn is coming from this year is puz-
zling number of farmers who find
that the corn they gathered last fall
for seed will not come up if planted.
1t has been found, however, that
some of the corn gathered two years
ago will germinate and this is being
tested by number of farmers. One
farmer in the southern part OF the
state found shock of corn in a hay
stack from which he got several BUSH
els of corn which tested well. The
best corn will not germinate if kept
for many years, and all corn, no mat
ter what the age, should be tested.
Farmers in all parts of the state
are reporting that the results from
their tests of seed corn are very dis
couraging, if not alarming. In other
years the reports concerning poor seed
corn have gone forth, but experts say
that the condition this year is the
worst it has been for over thirty years.
At the state agricultural farm out of
oysr 100 ,samples Of corn the average
vas about. 30 percent Of good corn.
This meaIis that half Of the corn
planted will not come up. Every
farmer knows what It means to have
two stalks Of corn in . hill where he
expected three or four, or to have
none come up In the hill.
Representatives Of seed houses Of
st. Paul, out OF 78 samples of corn,
found only 10 percent was at to plant.
This means that every farmer must
test his seed corn. Whether he has
ever done it before or not, he must do
it this year II he hopes to get a good
stand of corn. =
Corn can be tested very easily. Put
ting few kernels from each ear on
. moist cloth, cover with another
cloth and put between two plates will
answer as tester. In three days or
so in a warm place the corn ought to
sprout. A box three inches deep near
ly filled with saw dust, wet with a
cloth on top and kept in a warm
place is usually used. ANY of the
agricultural high schools will test
corn for farmers. The state agricul-
tural school'will test all sent to them.
No matter how it is done, the seed
must be tested.
In this connection it may not be
.miss to call attention to the fact
that the Minneapolis grain and COM
mission houses are sending letters 60
all their country agents urging thst.
seed OF all kinds be e'given ) thorough
testing. The following is an extract
from . letter received . few days ago
by Lee 3 Gingery Co, from . large
Minneapolis house:
"We believe all seed should be
thoroughly tested before it is sown,
whether it is homegrown or not. The
loss of the crop to the Northwest due
to carlessness in procuring seed, runs
into figures that are almost unbeliev-
able, and we hold that every elevator
and grain dealer should agitate the
matter of securing the best seed pos
sible.' s
Mr.. Gingery informs the Herald
tnat the seed problem is not confined
to corn alone, but that grain seed Of
all kinds should be thoroughly tested
before sowing. This is due to the poor
crop of last year owing to the exceed
ingly dry weather.
