seed is not composed of screenings.

the market as frst-c1ass seed. The
ordinary farmer will probably not de-
tect anything radically wrong with it.
So he will literally seed down his farm
with the vilest weed pests on earth.
It is true that | have given here the
results Of only one test, however, ]

numbers of these weed seeds in clio
vers, alfalfa and timothy
Now, if cleaned seed may con-
tain SO many weed seeds, how many
more may the screenings contain?
Let us stop sowing the screenings and
sow only seed that is relatively free
from weed seeds, as shown by purity

James Hartman, president of the

The calls began coming from all

Rev. w. J. Miller, pastor of the

MEN GIVE A DINNER;
EVERY DOCTOR BUSY

BELLEVILLE, N. j., Mar. 9.--The
Mems League of the Reformed
Church of Belleville gave dinner the
other night and announced before
hand:
! I'VE want no interference by women
at this dinner This is mans af-
fair. We do the cooking, the serving
dishwashing. Women who come can
eat, that's about all.
The following day all the doctors
| in Belleville and the neighboring vii
lagos were busy with antidotes. Many
of those who attended the dinner,
given by men and served by men, were
still clasping their hands over their
stomachs or cooling feyered temples
ard echoing two words:
Never again."
There are twenty-five members of
the Mems League. Among them are
Frank Gibson William Gibson, Benton
Collard, Henry Haig, Thomas Miller,
Moses Ryno and others prominent in
Belleville
Spurn WOman's Aid.
No sooner had the dinner been
agreed on than the men decided to
show the women of Belleville just what
mere man could do when the occasion
required. They brought dressed tar
keys, canned plum buildings, celery,
cranberries and other necessaries for
a turkey dinner. The women offered
their aid but were turned away with
the sterotyped rebuff: This is mans /
affair"
So on the night of the mans af-
fair" $50 residents of Belleville and
vicinity gathered at the feast. Al
though the men had arranged all de-
tails, women predominated at the
dinner. 1t is said the most of them
went to scott but stayed to dine. The

THE SOWING OF
THE SCREENINGS
(From Idaho Country Life)

| Any state without a pure seed law
makes a good dumping ground for
| foul and adulterated seeds that cannot
be sold in state where seed inspec-
ton prevails. Then too, when foul
weeds once get into a state, they
spread and soon become general
pest. This accounts largely for the
foul condition of the agricultural seeds
in Our state. The writer is daily test
ing seeds from various parts of the
state; he has found only few lots that
are entirely free from the seeds Of our
worst weeds. In fact, it would seem
from the results of these tests that
some farmers actually plant the
screenings. If this is true, and | am
told that it is, can understand why SO
much low grade seed has come to my
office for examination. Imagine if you
will the condition that would prevail
IN the potato crop in this state, if the
farmers and gardeners would plant the
culls, the smallest and the scabbiest
trbers from year to year. Where
would they find their market and what
would this sort of practice add to the ].
betterment of the community? ven
ture that not one man in the whole
state of Idaho is guilty of such prac-
tice, yet there are hundreds who are
sowing the screenings Of their forage
crops and selling the better grade of
seed. It you are guilty of doing this,
by Ill means do not do it again. Join
hands with those who are working for.
better seeds. If every man does what
ne can to improve the quality of the
seeds grown in this state, it will be
only a short time until Idaho will be
Known as a great seed-producing state,
or we have the soil, the climate and
he freedom from fungous diseases
to produce good seeds.
On January 2, 1912, I examined
air sample of Red Clover seed taken
rom LOT of several hundred pounds
which had been sold and delivered as
FIRST CLASS seed. The test showed
