We understand that non-parti-
san caucus was held recently for
the purpose of talking over the
municipal election soon to be held
in Culbertson. AS near as we are
able to learn no candidates for
Mayor and aldermen we've decided
upon. In order to get a full ex.
preston of the electors several cit
liens. which we have designated
as a committee, have asked us TO
call a mass meeting to be held in
the Opera Hall next Friday eve-
ming, March a.. The call will be
found on another page. A large
attendance should be had as we
are all interested in the govern
ment OF our fair little city.

Biggest Range Steer

Billings. Mont, March 1.-THE
biggest range steer IN the world,
as far as is known has just been
sold by Charles O'Donnell to
Prichie & Co.. Of Chicago, with q
shipment of other cattle. The an
imal tipped the beam at $500 lbs.
and the price received was 8 cents
per pound, or S2oo for the mon
ster bovine. From Oct. 7 last to
March 2, the day it was weighed
for market, this steer gained 400
pounds on a ration of alfalfa, sugar
beet pulp and syrup. Incideatly,
it may be said this is the greatest
price ever received for a range
steer

Seed Situation Serious

Every merchant should do every
thing possible to help the farmer
get good seed. As our prosperity
in the Northwest is utterly depend
ent upon our crops, this co-opera-
ton is essential. That seed con-
ditions which farmers of the North
west are obliged to face atthe start
of the planting season are tins Sea
son unusually serious is stated by
G. A Burnham, a prominent seed
man. He says in part as follows:
1.-THE question may arise as to
why these conditions have come
about. The last harvest was very
wet in many sections OF the North
west, and as a result seed corn and
grains were water soaked and when
the severe frosts in November
caught these crops the germ was
frozen, and consequently were
either killed or greatly weakened.
Seed which is fit for market Is not
always suitable for seed purposes.
1t is very important that every
merchant should urge farmers in
his locality TO carefully test their
seed grains and corn before plant
ing. 1t is better to find out the
termination OF the seed before,
rather than after planting. Seed
may be easily tested by counting
out one hundred kernels, taking
the average just as it runs, placing
the seed in a damp cloth or be-
tween wet blotters, allowing it to
remain at temperature Of 70 to
So degrees. 1t is better to place
these between two inverted dinner
plates. In the course of FIVE or
six days the seed should be exam
ined and those which have sprout-
ed counted. If the test is less than
90 per cent, either new seed should
be purchased or an extra amour,
OF seed should be sown to the acre
to cover the deficiency in growth.
In purchasing new seed 1t is well
to bear in mind that the highes,
priced seed is not always the m os,
expensive.
In purchasing high grade seed
grain it is necessary to pay prices
which will justify growers in put
ting into the seed the labor which
is necessary to produce we'll bred
took. which should be thoroughly
cleaned and suitable for seeding
purposes"
