helped win the pennant. but was too
late to play in the worlds series. He
was 10. or was it 16? when he Joined
the Dayton club and 10 when he had
such a good season with indianapolis

said Miss Bush.
"OWen stays home most of the time
when in town. He bowls considerable
and has competed in the national
tournament. His greatest pal here
is Johnny the dog. Mother used to
scold him when he was boy for
playing ball too much. She told him
he was wasting his time, as l guess
most mothers tell their boys some
time. Now she is glad that he had
the game so deeply in his system that
she could not get it out.
II hope owen stars for years, for
Id hate to see him return to the
minors and be treated as some of
them are. When he's through up
there | hope he sees fit to give up
the game. The way he is saving his
money he ought to have enough left
TO retire on if he is as successful as
he has been"

SEED TESTS ARE
SOUNDING WA....::;|NG
Much Grain Raised in North
Dakota Said to be Worth.
less For Seed .-.

From A. F. Berchert, the Bet
ter Farming Expert of Stuts-
man county, comes a timely
warning regarding the seed sit
uation: Mr.. Berchert says that
the situation in that part Of
the state seems to be a serious
one. He says:
'1n the many tests made, all
seed shows an enormously wide
range of variation, low germin-
alton predeminating. Wheat
has shown a healthy germina-
ton percentage of from 16 to
96, Durum being the poorest,
barely percentage Of from "a
to 83, oats of 10 to 70, flax 2
to IA, and corn Is to SO.
Wheat test from one farm
showed very strongly the pres
ence of wheat disease; one sam
pie of wheat was a summer fal-
lowed field, this showed no sick
ness. The other sample from
a field sown to wheat continu-.
ously showed 6 per cent dead,
40 per cent weak and sick, 81
per cent good. This means that
every one should make a ger
mination test of his seed if con-
siderable loss is to be prevent
ed this spring, and that those
who do not test their grain
may be grievously disappoint-
ed.
Notable in the movement to
promote seed testing, is the &C
tion of the Streeter CONNER
cial Club, which has undertake
en- to get samples of the seed
grains from various farmers ad-
jacent to the town, put it in
test pans four Or five days be-
fore the Better Farming Asso-
citation meeting to be held there
and have the results of these
tests ready for the farmers in
attendance. It is hoped in this
way to call attention to the poor
termination of grains, and the
necessity Of making the simple
test which may mean the diff
ference between good and poor
stand, crop or failure.
It is obvious that the seed
situation does not apply to
Stutsman county alone, and
that the habit of seed testing
should be formed by all if best
results are to be secured.
