SEED GRAIN FOR
THE NORTHWEST
TEST YOUR SEED NOW.
By PROF. THOMAS SHAW.

By PROF. THOMAS SHAW.
The question of securing seed grain
good and true to name and ut reason
able prices is usually difficult. 1t is
peculiarly difficult at the present
time, because Of an increased demand
for such seed gram with but little ill-
crease in the supply. Because Of this,
the prices for really good grain are
soaring. To add to the dilemma, the
quality of the seed corn is this year
distressingly low.
OF all the small grain grown in the
entire northwest, but little of it is
free from admixture with other grains.
The admixtnre runs all the way from
small quantity to not less than ten
per cent, and the proportion in some
instances is greater. That such seed
should not be sOwn will not be dis
puted, but the question which now
faces the farmers is. how can it be
avoided? The remedy will not come
with much fullness until the growers
of pure seed become far more numer-
Gus than they are at the present time.
Where can good grain be secured
with all the essentials which go to
make mp good seed? 1t may be that
seedsmen have some seed which they
can guarantee as true tc name. Those
who want such seed should try and
get it, even though they should only
get limited supply. This will supply
them with good seed for the following
year. Such purchases should be
promptly made for. with advance in
the season, all indications ut present
point to an advance in price even
higher than the present high rates.
, PURE SEED WHEAT.
Prof. w. r. Porter, of the North
Dakota experiment station, Fargo.
has been doing an excellent work dur
ing recent years in growing pure seed
wheat and also other grains. He is
in charge Of the twenty-five small
demonstration farms of North Dako-
tn. lie has been working Oh the prob
lem for several years, and am told
that his farmers have quite an
amount of seed on hand. lie and
they also send this wheat out when
sold, in sacks that are tagged with Il
metal tag indicative of their purity.
Those who want such grain should
write to Professor Porter ut Fargo.
and they should do so promptly.
Professor Porter has no personal end
to serve in the sale of that grain 9th
er than the satisfaction of knowing
that it is the outcome of his work.

corn should be tested at such 4 time.
GOOD ALFALFA SEED.
Good alfalfa seed is seed that is
clean, we'll matnred, reasonably
bright in color and that has been
grown as far north as the southern
boundary Of South Dakota. If it has
been grown further north it is even
better. Such seed is spoken OF usual
ly as Northern Montana. 1t hah PROV
ed itself sufficiently hardy. As the
supply is less than the demand, it
ought to be purchased as soon as pos
sible. Nearly all western seedsmen
located northward can furnish such
seed.
CLEANING SMALL. GRAIN.
Those who may not be able to get
better seed than they have, can do
much toward improving the character
OF such seed by careful tanning. Sucl.
labor ought not to be grudged. II will
pay we'll. Nearly all kinds Of weed
seeds may thus be removed and the
same is true of all light kernels Of
grain. All this should be done before
the spring opens. For all such work, ],
now is the accepted time.
SPROUTED AND FROZEN GRAIN.
lnsOme places last autumn much of
the grain was frozen before it was
-
ripe. and III other instances much OF
1t sprouted while yet in the shock.
Let 1t be understood once for all that
frozen grain should not he planted

The varieties which he has thus
grown are the Red Fife, the Blue
Stem and the Macaroni or Durum.
PURE SEED BARLEY.
Pure seed barley is very hard to
get in the American northwest, and it
is certainly very dear. In North Da-
kota it has been quoted by seedsmen
at very high rates. Very much of
the barley. however. in those states.
is greatly mixed. Such barley il al
ways cut severally, when II is grown
for brewing uses. The best barley
found outside OF seed houses ut the
present time is to be found in Mon-
tana. Good seed barley may, how
ever, be found in Canada, northward
from Dakota. 1t would pay well to
buy such barley where it can be OBJ
tained. as many Of the Canadian far
mers grow such barley. Ii the far
mers of Dakota can get pure seed
from such source, it will pay them
well to bear the expense OF the duty
called for. The Mandschuri or Mai
sury is one OF the best varieties to
grow

IMPORTANT MEETING OF
THE SOCIETY OF EQUITY

The Judith Gap Society of Equity
held an important meeting in the new
school house last Saturday afternoon
which was well attended.
Among the important matters dis
cussed was county division. \ mo-
tiOn was made and unanimously car
ried that it be the sense Of the society
to oppose county division ut this
time.
Another was the culture of barley,
and the best species to raise in this
section OF Montana. This discussion
was brought about 10y the reading OF
an ably prepared paper on the sub
ject by DIR. Remaly, who had given
the matter careful thought safter
reading all the literature on the sub
ject that has been issued by the gov
ernment. This paper will he publish
ed in the Journal in time to- be Of
benefit to those who intend to SOW
barley this spring.
The subject OF rolling the ground
and the best roller to be used was
touched upon, and will be discussed
at the next meeting at length. 1t is
desired that those who have had ex-
perience in this matter will be pre-
sent and give all the information they

can to the members.
The committee on elevator was
continued and instructed along lines
that will mean something to the
grain sellers, if the committee s sue

\ committee Of three consisting Of
DIR. G. F.. Remaly, 5. J. Small and
John Dolan. was appointed to confer
with u like committee to be appoint
ed by the Commercial Club of Judith
Gap. on all matters arising shat will

and the surrounding country.
G. I. Benson reported that he had
Jersey red male hog for sale or ex-
change. Anyone wanting the ami
mai can address Mr.. Benson at Ju-
dith Gap.
Communications OF value alone to
the members were read and acted
upon.
Farmers in the eastern end Of
Meagher, the western end OF Mussel-
she'll and the southern part of Fergus
counties are requested to join this
society and cooperate for the better
ment Ut agricultural conditions. In

PURE SEED OATS.
! PURE SEED BARLEY.

1t is even more difficult to get pure
seed oats than TO get pure seed of
the other grains named, as but few
samples can be secured that are free
from wild oats. The best varieties to
SOW are the Sixty Day for dry areas.
and the Swedish Select and White
Russian for areas that are less dry.
Professor Porter's farmers can FUR
nish some pure Sixty Day and Swed-
ish Select oats.
GOOD SEED FI.AX.
This question is difficult, because OF
the presence of the diseases known
as flax wilt. Those who want to in
vest in wilt resistant flax, may be adj
vised by writing to Prof. Bolley, of
the experiment station, Fargo.
But it should be remembered that
such flax is not necessarily wilt proof.
1t is simply wilt resistant. 1t has
much more power to resist wilt than
other flax. hence it should be the aim
to SOW it it it can be obtained, and
all flax sOWn should he treated.
GOOD SEED CORN.
That more than fifty per cent OF the
corn that was set aside for seed last
autumn in the northwestern states
+ has lost terminating power is most
regretful fact. But it is il fact. One
result is that it has made the Dricp
OF seed corn abn0rmally dear. 1t is
all the more important, therefore,
! that the seed shall be purchased early
and tested as to it's vitality. The ear
ly maturing sorts, as the small swe,
cOrns, and the dwarlish sorts like
squaw corn and the Il h II have Il e
highest relative germination. because
Of their early ripening. But all seed
Judith Gap journal. [volume] (Judith Gap, Mont.) 1908-19??, 1912-03-08

for seed. 1t will germinate under
some conditions Of freezing, depend
ing on the advancement of the grain
when frozen and ON the severity Of
the freezing. The same is true of
grain that has sprouted. Under some
conditions it may sprout again. But
III both cases the sprouts will be weak.
Such grain should never be used for
seed.
RUSTED GRAIN.
In some parts Of Dakota wheat was
injured considerably with rust. Rust
ed grain does not make first class
seed, when the grains are badly shriv-
elled. But in nearly all such grain
some Of the kernels willbe but little
shrivelled. These will make good
seed. 1t is possible to get Rood seed
under such conditions by removing
the more shrivelled seeds with the
tanning mill. Such separation should
he severe.
Where any doubt exists az to the
terminating quality Of seed it ought
to he tested. In no instances should
corn be planted without such testing.

Individual stars. Among the Carlisle
stars to be entered are Fred Schenan-
dore, who is a very fast man IN the
hurdles, and Michael Arquette, who is
one OF the best distance men in the coun-
try. In his last appearance, at the Sixty
fifth Regiment games at Buffalo. on New
Years Day, he won the five-mile run in
the remarkably fine time Of 25:2. He
will be entered here in the two-mile.
