Professor BolIey, who Is secretary,
states that~the, North Dakota Improv-
ed Seed Growers association has had
an increase in membership during the
past year. He also states he has been
very successful in procuring prize
monies and machinery, championship
cups, etc, to be awarded to the VIII
ners of the highest quality seed pro-
ducers. . - e N
The North Dakota Improved Seed
Growers association is a sort Of an
%altruistic organization developed pri-
tnarily for the purpose of improving
the quality Of seed which is placed
in use upon the land for seeding pur-
poses. There is also a large demand
for northern grown seeds Of high
quality, and it was believed by form
ing the North Dakota Improved Seed
Growers association whose member
ship should consist, first: Of actual
growers or producers of seed for
planting purposes, and, 'second: Of the
users, handlers and buyers of SEED,
that a sort Of cooperative. work
would be started which would event.
ually greatly benefit both the farmers
and seedsmen from the increased COM
merce in seeds for planting purposes
which would take place. $50
The state at large would certainly.
be benefited because of the better sale
farm products at a more
price, and particularly because
of the great improvement of crops
would come about from the
use of better seed. There are thous-
Of farmers who have to buy seed
every year, because of some condi-
tion on their own farms. These
should know where to find good seed
of the kind which they wish to grow.
The seed dealers, who are doing the
wholesale business in the state, should
also have opportunity. to know who
the growers of standard seeds are, so
they can increase their trade relations.
North Dakota Improved Seed
Growers association will, it is be-
lieved, meet many of the needs indi-
Gated. Applications Of membership

North Dakota improved
Seed Growers Contest

1.-THE second North Dakota Improv-
ed Seed Growers contest is billed for
Jan. 20 to "a, the week Of the corn
show and Tri-State Grain Growers
convention at Fargo. We have ar
ranged to make this one of the big
gest contests in pur seed growing
ever conducted" says Professor Boil
ley.
LAS secretary, I wish to call atten-
ton to the fact that this seed con
test should have great value to all
growers. If they do not already have
good seed of their own, they will be
able to get from those who exhibit,
seeds of high quality. If there arHy
seedsmen in the state who do not have
full supplies for distribution, they will
be able to get in touch with the grow
ers Of the very best seeds. The seeds
shown at this contest must all be
tested for purity and termination at
the pure seed laboratory before they.
go into contest. The seeds which do
not chance to win a prize may be es-
sentially as good as the prize winners.
The score cards will show the value
Of each lot for planting. .>.~-
"Those who have seeds for sale will
find in this contest the finest oppor-
tunity to get in touch with those who
wish to buy.
Prizes are fine. The show will be.
held in one of the largest buildings in
Fargo there will be first, second
and third prizes on all varieties Of
cereal grains, corn, potatoes and for
age seeds. Several of these prizes
reach a cash value Of i've 500. There
are fine pieces Of farm machinery,
such as corn c~ultivators, tanning
mills, field sprayers, garden machin-,
cry. etc.
1.-THE contest is open to every grow
er in North Dakota. No entry fees.
All samples should be shipped by cx-
press or parcels post so as to reach
the pure seed laboratory by Jan. Is,
Send one peck of any Of the cereals
lsmall g~rains), ten ears. Of corn, ten
best potatoes, one-half peck Of any
variety OF grass or forage seeds. In
the home grown garden seed contest
any smaller amount may be entered,
one-half ounce to one pint, according
to the kind, such as lettuce, onion,
peas, beans, etc. In the vegetable
gardening, select plant contest-one
best individual for each variety, as
carrot, onion, parsnip, celery. etc.
(This should represent the sender's
ideal Of the best type form from which
to grow seed.)
The contest is under the auspices
of the North Dakota Improved Seed

any North Dakota grower, whether.

 There seems no reason to doubt but that Mesa will be on the main line of the Fl Paso & Southwestern within the next two years.
