liver Dybdahl, manager of the Bling
ham Bros. elevator, hands us the fol
lowing note sent out by his house, and
every farmer should take the hint con-
tanned therein: "A great variation is
found in the terminating qualities Of
seed from the same locality; accord
ing to tests made at the Minneapolis
Agricultural Experiment Station. A
sample of wheat grading No. l Hard
shows a termination test of 80 per
cent; a sample of No. l Durum only
shows IS per cent; a sample of barley
shows SO per cen and another sample
from the same locality only shows 80
per cent. 1t would therefore seem of
great Importance that every producer
Of grain should before seeding apply
a termination test to all grain he in
tends to plant"
