MONEY FOR SEED
WELL INVESTED
BY PROF. r. A. MOORE,
Wisconsin College Of Agriculture

A few cents per bushel more in
buying good seed may mean the saw
ing of many dollars Be sure and
test all seed for termination. Any
one by means of some plates and a
few wet bIotters can get an idea OF
the general vitality of seeds. Seed
corn should be taken only from care
fully dried ears and every ear should
be tested.
Look out for the presence of noxious
weeds in your grains, especially mus
tard. Canada thistle, and the persist
ent quack grass For a fee of rs
cents the agronomy department of the
college will examine seed sample
and report on weed content and
terminating power. Address The
Seed Inspector"
Glover and grass seeds must be scru-
tinized with especial care, as in adj
dition to the two dangers already
mentioned there is a great chance
for adulteration
If samples of seed are found to be
low In termination, 1t is far better to
get new seed which Is good in every
respect than to plant an increased
quantity per acre tn an effort to get
the usual stand Under no circum-
stances be tempted to SOW noXious
weeds.
Due to an increase of the blights
and SHUTS on the small grains in
some sections of the state, oats and
barley seed should be given the we'll
known formalin treatment This will
fully prevent oat smut and largely
prevent barley blight.

When Mr. A.. from x township,

scribing his wet land the department
makes such recommendation as seem
warranted from the Data at hand. If

"A demonstration of a farm drainage
system would help to solve the drain
age problem of community,
From August / to December | this
department sends its field man to

lions as time permits. On the ap-
pointed day Mr.. A. meets the field
man at the railroad station and they
proceed to Mr. AS farm. The wet
land is examined first in a general

In the presence Of the farmers who
