URGING FARMERS
TO TEST GRAIN
Williston Commercial Club
Adopts Plan to Increase
the Yields

Williston. N. D., Feb. 2s.-Directors
of the Williston Commercial club have
organized the bankers and business
men Of Mckenzie and Williams coun-
~ into a general committee for the
purpose of attempting to secure good
iced wheat and flax for the farmers
VI those wv counties. and the means
Of securing such seed is to make II
series of tests Of all seeds used by
lsvery farmer.
The following warning on the aues-
Hon has been emf broadcast by the
lWilliston Commercial club in an effort
TO bring about the use of pure seeds
and in that increase the
yields.
some samples of wheat and flax
from this vicinity which have been
tested show that one-half of the grain
will not grow. and is, therefore, INIT
for seed. 1t is absolutely necessary to
have good seed in order to get a good
.rrop. We caution every farmer to
have his seed grain tested before SOW
Ing 1t.
1--WE call attention to this matter
not to discourage anyone for his Is a
problem that does not in any way re-
fleet on this locality. as Prof. P. G.
Holden. h corn expert of Iowa. says
that at least one-half of the corr crop
of that state from last year is unfit for
seed. We. however. feel that this is Il
matter which demands serious atten-
tion-and immediate attention-as AN
ounce of prevention is worth a pound
of cure BE sure to get good seed
grain. and We feel sure that the year
1912 will give us a good crop.
ANY farmers who wish to have
their grain tested or are in need of
good seed grain are requested to re-
port to their nearest bankers or bust
ness men. or to n of the directors Of
the Williston Commercial club"

the most daring robbery in the history
Of this section of the state occurred
heer when an unknown burglar enter

store by breaking through the side
window, while the proprietor was at
dinner. Occurring during the noon
hour as it did, in broad daylight at a
time when there were many people on
the streets and the curtains in the
front windows of the store raised, the
robbery is considered one Of the bold
est in the annals of this section of

so successfully conceal his work and
then make his escape is a mystery.
No clue has been obtained as to the
