Agricultural Authorities are Alarm-
I'd Over Crop Prospects From
Poor Seed

:. North Dakota farmers who In

take great care in the selection of
seed.
According to statements from
the leading agricultural authorities
Of the northwest there is grave
danger to the corn crop of the
northwest in the present poor con-
dition of seed corn. The Farmers
Weekly Dispatch Of this week
contains statements of seed ex-
perts from the state universities of
Minnesota; Wisconsin. Iowa and
South Dakota, and all agree that
there is danger.
The seed houses of the north
west have been swamped with or
ders and are refusing to advertise
seed corn because their supplies
are running low. Those who have
good seed corn are getting big
prices for it.
The same condition which exist
ed in those other states also existed
in North Dakota. Farmers of
this state will be urged at the
coming corn and clover conven-
ton to be held at Grand Forks to
by all means test the seed. They
are advised tdtpke sfew kernels
from each ear they have saved for
seed and see if the kernels will

lowing and is willing to stand on
anything and swear it's the truth:
The proceeds of the butter fat
from his six COWS from the first
day of March last year to the Is,
day Of January this year were
$3.50 %. OF the six COWS there
was an average Of five that gave
milk all the time They were fed
no grain. just prairie hay and
prairie pasture He used 4 cream
separator aud sold the cream.
WeibIe is now great diary en-
thusi.st OF late but he doesn't
take the credit to himself. he
says that his wife who was raised
in a dairy country induced him to
sell other stock and buy the six
COWS and he did it as sort of an
experiment. Now. he says, he
will increase the size of his milk
herd Just as fast as he can.

Heroin, Mr.. Towns explained was il
derivative Of opium, and was three
times as strong in its effects on the hu-
man organism as morphine. In other
words. a person who was accustomed 10
take three grains Of morphine a. day
would be satisfied with one grain OF
heroin, and person accustomed TO
taking three grains of heroin would re-
quire nine grains of morphine to sat
isfy his craving.
An opium smoker, he went on sinoN-
ing twenty-five pills day got only the
equivalent OF about a quarter OF
grain Of morphine taken through the
needle or of half a grain taken by the
mouth. Codeino, the other opium
derivative, was only one-eighth as
strong as morphine. and doctors felt
no reluctance about giving 1T, because
of its comparative weakness. But, Mr.
Towns asserted, it was not the strength

Park to the south of the present mu-
scum buildings. In speaking Of the
changes, Park Commissioner Stover
said yesterday:
1T will be necessary TO divert the
present 10Th street drive to a point fur
ther south, now occupied by a footpath.
The Park Department, once the Board
of Estimate has appropriated the neces-
sary funds for the new wing, will do
everything possible to get the work
under way. All the plans for the
change of the ground south of the mu-
scum have been considered, and so far
as this department is concerned there
will be no hitch in furthering the
project"
Commissioner Stover intimated that
when he saw Mr.. Morgan recently the
latter said something about the delay
in getting the new wing under way.
1t will not take long to clear the
ground in the park TO be occupied py
the Morgan wing. as no very large trees
are there and only limited amount OF
shrubbery. Charles Downing Lay, land
scape architect of the Park Board, SAID
last night that there would be no delay
in any of the necessary changes TO the
park because Of the new wing. Ihe
contract will be let through the PARK
Board, and all requests for appropria-
tions are made through the Park De-
parfment.

Herman distributed the choice fruit

them that the berries were the real
goods and not imported.
He, also produced several blossoms
that he picked from the vines.
In an effort to protect the vines from

held, was just as disastrous as that OF

Towns maintained that I'm the next law

TO cover not only opium and cocaine,

G. B. Towns, Who Is Fighting
Evil, Receives Letters from
Governors Approving Plan
for National Law-0pium
Manufacture Increases.

First-hand evidence Of the ease with
which even school children may obtain
habit-forming drugs in this city was
given to The Tribune yesterday by
Charles B. Towns, the man largely
responsible for the act Of February
1911, restricting the sale Of hypodermic
syringes to a physicians prescription.
Though himself layman, Mr.. Towns
had treated some 5000 cases of the
drug habit and his method is said TO
have the approval Of such men as DR..
Alexander Lambert, DR.. Smith Ely
Jelliffe and DR.. George w. Swift.
Mr.. Towns told of a seventeen-year-
old boy who had been brought to him
within the last three weeks, slave
Of hercin. The stenographic report
Of the questions he asked the boy and
the answers tell the story Of a hopeless
struggle against the drug and the ap-
palling danger TO which thousands Of
young boys and girls are open.
For eleven years an uncompromising
opponent of the drug habit in all its
forms, Mr.. Towns says he is now about
to launch a countrywide campaign
for effective legislative restriction Of
the sale of habit-forming narcotics.
His idea is uniform legislation
throughout the states, backed UP by
federal law. without this ironclad
defence, he points out. any attack on
the drug evil is useless, since none are
quicker at picking weaknesses In bar
riers than the unscrupulous dis
tributers.
