Judge Coke Improving Slowly.

From all parts of the county come en-
quirieS concerning the condition of
County Judge NJ. |. Coke who was
quite seriously injured last week by a
fall al the Court House. There is no
more popular official in the State than
Judge Coke and now that he is laid up
from injury nothing short of daily re-
ports from his bedside will appease the
public
The News is glad TO be able TO report
progress. The injury is not as serious
as was first supposed; however the
Judge is compelled TO keep his bed all
the time. "He can move his leg," said
DR.. Steen, "and while he will undoubt-
edIy be laid up a some time, he is max
ing progress as rapidly as we have a
right 10 expect considering his age"

If the termination test falls below

Of each variety should be tested in

The planting season will soon be
here again. l wonder how many
farmers are going to test their seed
this year before planting. Now is
the time to do that kind OF work be-
fore the spring rush is on. The real
Importance of good seed is not gen.
orally understood or fewer farmers
would run the risk of planting untest-
ed seed.
1t is too late to make field selections
for this springs planting and many
of our seeds are not produced in this
section but the opportunity and the
extreme ACCESSIBILITY of testing the
seed before planting still remain.
Seed should be tested for purity,
adulteration and termination.
The purity test may be made with
a small lens; very good one costing
not more than fifty cents. By spread
ing sample of the seed thinly on a
sheet OF white paper and examining
it carefully with the magnify ing glass,
weed seed and the like can be detect
ed This does not require great deal
of knowledge. simply to know the
seed being tested. Many dollars and
untold trouble may often be saved as
our worst seeds are frequently in
troduced in foreign seeds. 1t has
been shown that the seed of many OF
our common weeds will gro after
having been buried for more than
twenty years. 1t is generally known
that weeds once started are eradicat-
ed with the greatest of difficulty. so
every precaution should be taken to
avoid giving them start. Glover
seed, alfalfa seed and the grass seeds
frequently contain weed seeds or are
adulterated with various cheaper
seeds. Screenings of clover and alfalfa
imported into this country are mixed
with better seeds and sold as medium
and low grades. Such mixtures,
which also contain many weed seeds,
would not be sown if carefully tested
for purity. Yellow trefoil and bur
clover seed are imported from Ger
many in large quantities and mixed
with red clover and alfalfa seed;
Canada blue grass seed is brought
from Canada and mixed with or sold
as Kentucky blue grass seed. While
this is not so serious as infesting the
fields with noxious weeds, it is a
fraud and should not be tolerated. Ii
these seeds are desired they can be
bought pure for one third or one-half

How to Test Seed.

vitality more than two or three years.
The seed of few of our common
garden plants such as beets, cabbages,
carrots, pumpkins, rage, squashes
and turnips may be kept four or five
years if properly stored but the rule
should be to plant ouly fresh seed.
Every farmer should have United
States Bulletin No. IA of the Division
of Agrostology or parts l and III of
Bulletin No. II Of the same Bureau
which give clear description OF the
important grasses, together with
rawlings of both the mature plant
and the seed. A study OF these bull
letins and little practice will enable
any farmer to test his grass seed for
purity and authorizations. Ii for any
reason he is unable to make this ex
sminat1on he should send sample to
the State seed inspector at Seattle,
for free examination.
The termination test can be made
with very little apparatus. A box of
sand or two dinner plates and a few
sheets of plotting paper or strip of
cheese cloth are all that is needed.
In testing corn, peas, beans and
other large seeds. use a box about
four inches deep and two feet square.
Divide the surface into squares two
or three inches square by running.
strings across the box both ways.
Tacks or small nails driven into the
edges of the box two inches apart will
serve to hold mixtures.
Plant ten or more seeds in each
square and then thoroughly wet the
sand and place the box in some place
where the temperature of the sand may
be kept fairly uniform. Field condi
tions should be appropriated as near
ly as possible Do not place the box
in the warming closet nor under the
kitchen stove as many seeds will
terminate under such conditions that
would not terminate under field con
ditions. AS a guide to the proper
mperature the following table is
quoted from Balley's Encyclopedias
of American Agriculture:
"The best temperature for radishes,
turnips. cabbage, lettuce, beets,
celery, parsnips, grasses and the like
is 40 degrees to 80 degrees at night
and so to 60 degrees during the day;
for corn. beans, cucumbers, melons,
squashes, tomatoes, peppers, egg
plants and the like so degrees to 60
degrees at night and 90 degrees to 70
degrees during the day is desirable.
For all small seeds such as the
smaller garden seeds and the grass
seeds, the plotting paper method is
best. Fill one plate with sand and
saturate it with water. Then place
sheet of plotting paper on this wet
surface and scatter the seed over it.
Lay another sheet of blotting pap'r
over the seed and invert another plate

MAGAZINE REVIEW
Woodrow Wilson Says the Government
Should keep House. for the
Whole People.

! In the November Womans Home Com.
plon, Woodrow Wilson, Democratic can.
didate for the presidency, writes an arti.
Gle entitled The New Meaning of Gov.
/ eminent" Its central idea is that those
/ whom we send to Washington to gov
ern us, ought to keep house" for the
whole people. The following is an ex-
| tract:
Every dollar that the government
spends ought to be spent as carefully as
| if the resources OF the country were
! limited. Every dollar of expenditure
ought to mean something done or pro-
vided for the people. Waste is also
weakness. Inefliciency brings confu-
sion.
at is part of the new meaning of
government, therefore, that its resources
are not to be put at the disposal of a
governing class or of any limited set OF
governing influences, but that those who
exercise its authority must Keep house
for the whole people; must use the mon
ey raised by taxes as if it were expended
in trust to produce the best possible
results in the ordering and stimulation
of our life.
ut is an interesting circumstance that
government is becoming less and less a
business for politicians; that minds and
energies of every kind are turning
towards it as part Of the general enter
prise Of life. The reason we want our
government to be free from every kind
of private or narrow control is that we
want to see If it served only few.
Those who conduct it ought to have the
vision of the nation itself ought to be
sensitive to impulses from every quar-
ter. The statesman should sit down with
the philanthropist, with the engineer,
with the forest expert, with the student
of soils and agricultural methods, with
masters of technical and vocational cd
ucation as well as with inanciers and
lawyers and manufacturers and mer-
chants and those whose interests have
usually been at the center of policy
Though he cannot himself keep the life
OF the nation as whole in his mind,
he can at least make sure that he is
taking counsel with those who know,
that his sympathies may be open upon
every side, and that he may seek TO serve
civilization and humanity, not a party
or any selfish program"
