the best must be grown to hold pat
ronage. To accomplish this it is nee
essary for the seed man to do his
own experime nting before placing thu
seeds on the market.
The Northern Seed company ha:
been doing this and in manner diff
ferent from methods adopted by gov
ornamental institutions. Their seed is
planted and grown in the same man
ner as in the average garden or field
the experimental truck patch receiv
ing nothing more than ordinary care
When seeds are found to produce wei
in North Dakota climate and soil, just
as they would in an ordinary garden
or field, they are then placed on the
market. Not one variety Of plant seed
leaves the Northern Seed companies
warehouse until it has proved its
value in the great Northwest. Thus
purchasers are assured success in
planting home grown seed.
The entire seed producing station
is necessarily conducted along the
most advanced scientific lines and
under expert supervision. Before any
OF the seeds are planted they are test
ed by the company and samples are
also sent to the state seed commits
sioner, who makes similar tests. II
they stand the tests to the satisfaction
of both they are then planted to as
certain what they will produce in this
section Of the country. When they
show by their fruits that they are
particularly adopted to the soil and
climate they are then catalogued and
grown for the market.
The farmer or gardner receiving the
little packages of seed with a bright
label thinks little of the care and at
tention. they have received. It is a
commercial proposition with him
they must show results, and the re-
suits are only obtained after tedious
experiment on the part of the seed
grower. So the development has
gone on, unobstrusively, the little plot

NoRTAER SEED COMPANY

Among the various factors thai
build up country none are more i'm
portant than the distributors of seeds
It is the plant life that gives vitality
to community. James J. Hill has
rightly been called an Empire build
or but there must be cultivation OF
the soil, husbandry and the sowing OF
seeds to make the narrow parallel OF
two steel rails commercially profit
able. Production and transportation
are the two elements inseparab1e in
empire building and the Northern
Seed company, of Valley City, has
contributed "a big share toward con.
verting the parties Of the great
Northwest into region Of homes and
prosperous cont eminent. - - !. i:
Th6sseed industry is one that at.
tracts little attention, except when
the descriptive catalogues are distrib.
uted. Selections Of seeds are made,
ordered and planted. and then the
seed man is forgotten while the crops
grow to furnish food and Clothing and
shelter for the dependent civilization.
At the outskirts of Valley City the
Northern Seed company has plot of
ground, passed daily by hundreds un-
noticed. But that plot furnishes sus-
tenance for the body and money for
the purse for the empire of the North
west: There are now maturing on
that plot 46S varieties of seeds a vast
galaxy of vegetables, tubers, garden
truck grasses, grain provinder and
flowers.
The government and state agricul-
tural schools and experimental sta
tons do much to advance rural indus
try but the seed distributors do more.
The seed man is in the business to
make it commercially profitable and
must grow the best, suitable to eli
mate and soil, to distribute among
their patrons. Seed that does not pro-
duce quality and quantity would soon
put the seed house out of business. so

CANADA'S PROSPERITY.

AT the preLent moment eight ahip-
loads Of European immigrants are
afioat for CEnada, while there are
signs that the outward movement
which Is customary with US during
labor troubles win be marked this
year. There Is no such startling rec
ord Of our loss to Canada. Our citi-
gems quietly slip over the border in
groups or tIAinloads, but their going
is not advertised.
There is no mystery why Canada
is the good thing the United States
