"A STITCH IN TIME SAVES NINE

J (By Geo. Severance, Supt. Western
Puyallup, WASH
1t is now time to make prepare
tion for the summers work. The
old custom of "a stitch in time
saves nine" applies in farm plans.
Things left to the last minute Of
ten cost several times as much as
if done in advance or else the re
suits may be reduced proportionate
ly. One of the most important l.
TENS to plan for Is good seed. In
the first place ii we wait until .he
last minute We usually are oblig
ed to pay higher for seed Than II
purchased two or three months in
advance, but this is only small
factor compared to the importance
of securing good seed. Good seed
should possess good vitality. be Tree
from seeds of noxiOus weeds, adapt
ed to the climate for whichii 1t Is
secured, and should be of good
yielding strain. 1t takes consider
able time to make the necessary m
vestigations to determine these
points. This can be accomplished
by terminating two or three hun
dred seeds taken just as they come
from the sample offered, placing
them between heavy blotting paper
or folds of muslin kept moist be-
tween two pie tins or pans and in
a reasonably warm growing temper
allure. The blotters or muslin should
neither become dry nor be kept so
saturated as to exclude air. A SAM
pie seed is not real good unelss 80
per cent of the seed will germin-
ate. In the case of the majority
OF farm seeds samples that show
weaker termination will, when sub
jected to ordinary field conditions.
not only produce a good many weak

irregular and incomplete stand be-
cause many seeds that germinate

sides some seed of the same varie-
ty secured from the east. There
was about three weeks difference
in time of maturing the corn from
the two samples of seed The nee
, essity for securing acclimated vari-
cites applies more particularly Il
delicate crops and is not SO essen
tial in the securing of clover and
grass seeds or the seed of wheat,
oats. rye aud seed OF similar hardy
crops. Experiments, however, have
shown that even in the case of most
of these crops there Is an advan-
tage in securing locally developed
seed. other things being equal.
Another point the grower should
bear in mind is that within Il Civ
en- variety there are strains of seed
developed that vary markedly in
their yielding power just as there
are different herds of Jersey cows
varying markedly in their produc-
ing capacity. 1t is possible TO Sc
cure two lots of seed of early He
bron potatoes, for example. that
might If grown under identical con-
ditions differ in their yielding Ca
pacity five or ten per cent. or ev-
en- more. This will depend very
largely on the pains with which
the grower has carried on his Sc
lection. If it is possible for one to
do so. it is well to secure seed from
sources where much pains have
been taken to select and clean seed
regularly. The yielding power of
seed cannot be determined by any
physical examination and the only
certainty one may have of secur-
ing seed of good yielding strains
is to purchase it from parties who
have taken the necessary pains to
develop high class strains of seed.
1t is good idea to secure the
catalogs OF leading seedmen regu-
larly for while it is not advisab able
to jump at every novelty that ap-
pears, it is often possible to Sc
cure start of something much
better than We are now growing,
selecting wisely from catalogs, in
connection with securing our spring
supply of seed it is also necessary
that we plan our cropping for the
season. Many farmers DO this plan
ming as the blowing progresses and
without any system whatever. This
is unwise as il usually results in
providing a very irregular annual
supply of feed for live stock and
a very uneven distribution of la
Dor. In case of the dairyman a
cropping should be SO planned that
the stock will be provided with a
continued and abundant supply dur
ing the year. The cropping should
also be planned from year to year
SO that all of the land will period
ically grow a good cultivated crop
to enable US to give the soil the
benefit of a seasons thorough till
age and should also at some period
grow a soil improving crop like
clover. peas or vetches. A system
of cropping for the general farm
that does not provide for cultiv-
ated crop in the rotation and for a
soil improving crop is not proper
" planned. 1t Is needless to sug-
gest that much is gained by see
ing that the tools, harness. etc, are
all in shape before the spring work
begins.

VICTOR JOHNSON
FOR USEFUL PLACE
CHAMPION OF UTILITIES LAW
is GIVEN STRONG ENDORSE
MENT FOR COMMISSION
Boise Capital News

Victor o. johnson, of ShOshOne,
known in southern Idaho as the
dean among posted men on a pub
lie utilities commission, who made
a hard fight for the passage Of
the Ryan bill through the recent
legisl ature, is an open and avowed
candidate for one of the three
cOnnnissiOnerships and his friends
declare he stands all excellent
elTanee of being one Of the chos-
en- three. In fact, they are conf
dent the chief executive of the
state could make no wiser choice
than in the selection of MF. john
son. They are placing before the
governor the strongest kinds of
endorsements fCT his selection.
and il is now believed doubtful if
any other applicant will be more
highly recommended.
The friends Of the present pub
lie utilities bill depended upon Mr..
johnson for inside knowledge on
the character of the bill present
ed and on his ability to defend it
against the attacks of the railroads
and the public utilities When the
bill was introduced Mr.. Johnson
was among the first to receive
copy and he carefully went over 1t,
proposing strengthening amend
ments and correcting it where cor
rectiOn was needed. Many of his
amendments were accepted by the
friends of the bin. He was given
the courtesy of the floor Of the
house Of Representatives and there
ehampioned the bill that is at pres
ent Idaho's Iaw. Mr.. Johnson Is the
author Of several strong booklets
on railroad and public utilities
commissions.
II was currently reported today
that among the applicants for
comlnissiOnerships on this com
mission is John A. Blomquist. well
known business man of this clty.
and that his friends are doing ev-
cry thing possible ao promote his
interests.
