Several forms shot past them in the

CLEAN SEED IN DEMAND

During the past spring and winter
seedmen throughout the state have
found it difficult to locate pure seed.
According to the state Pure Seed law
they are required to show purity
test on all seed sold within the state
of not more than one noxius weed in
ten thousand seeds of seed on sale.
The noxious weeds are defined in the
seed law and include mustard of all
species, alfalfa and clover dodders,
Cor love-vine as it is sometimes call
ed,- buckhorn or plantain and several
others which are not so comon.
Now is the time to clean seed grain
before the weeds mature. Some of
the weeds are nearly the diameter of
our grains, making it impossible to
screen them out. The weeds can be
pulled at this period and seed crops
that ordinarily would be unsaleable
under the Pure seed act can be clean
ed to pass inspection by a few hours
labor with a scythe, or pulling by
hand.
The office of the seed commission
er, state capital, Boise, receives many
inquiries regarding location of pure
seed from farmers desiring to pur-
chase the same. Farmers who will
pull mustard, plantain, dodder and
other weeds from their seed fields
now will confer favor upon them
selves and upon prospective purchas-
ers by sending in their names, CIV
ing acreage and kind of seed.
Secure copies of the seed law by
writing State Seed Commissioner,

HARDING WINS BIG POINTS IN
IDAHO LAND CASE.

A few days ago the Supreme court
of Idaho handed down a ruling which
set aside the judgment rendered
against P. w. Harding in the fam
Gus land case in the west.
The District court decided the case
in favor of Mr.. Harding on the evil
dence offered and introduced by his
opponents alone and without his Of
fering any evidence whatever.
This judgment held that the land
was owned by Mr.. Harding. That
the same formed no part of the estate
of Caleb Squibb, since he in his life
time had decided it to his son Joseph,
who in turn sold it to Mr.. Harding.
The case was then appealed to the
supreme court where that judgment
was reversed. Based on this revers-
al and the record made in the orig
inal trial, the district court entered
judgment against Mr.. Harding, hold
ing that the land belonged to the es-
tate notwithstanding the deed to Jo-
seph and his subsequent conveyance
of the land to Mr.. Harding.
More recently the supreme court,
however, upon becoming informed
that the distrist court had rendered
a judgment holding that the lands be
longed to the estate and not to Mr..
Harding, cancelled and set aside this
judgment on the grounds that there
was no authority or evidence to just
ify such finding that the lands be-
longed to the estate and ordered the
case retired to permit Mr.. Harding
to offer evidence on his behalf.
This recent decision of the court
comes as sensation, since it knocks
the bottom out of the 100000, dam
age suit instituted against Mr.. Hard
ing in this county and membranes
recently placed on the landry the
heirs of the estate. These proceed
ings based on a judgment which has
been declared void and set aside have
no effect against Mr.. Harding who is
still the owner of the land.
Mr. Harding's many friends here
will be pleased to notice the sweep
ing change in his favor made by the
setting aside of the judgment against
his lands. - Charter Oak, Qowa)

COURSE IN FORESTRY AT THE
UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO.

The call for young men trained in
forestry subjects has been much
greater than the department of for
estry has been able to meet. This
is bound to be the case for many
years to come. Idaho has only just
begun to utilize it's vast crop of trees,
comprising as it does more than 20,
100000 acres of the finest timber in
the world.
High school graduates who are
fond of healthful outdoor work at
good salaries should consider for
estry as vocation. No state in the
Union offers better opportunities.
For bulletin and particulars, address
c. H. SHATTUCK,
Professor of Forestry.
