Seed to be Tested Free.

Experts of the botany division of
the agricultural college, university
of Minnesota, have started plans for
a free seed testing laboratory under
the provisions of the seed labelling
law. Under the new law any citizen
may send samples to the university
laboratory for testing. In addition
every package Of seed that is sold in
the state must bear a tag showing
purity and termination tests, so
that the buyer can tell just what he
is getting.
Minnesota farmers will not be al
lowed to sell seed corn unless the tag
accompanying the seed tells the
county in which it was raised. This
is done to protect the corn raiser in
the northern part of the state, who
can not use seed to advantage that
has been grown in the southern Sec
tiOns.
This law will insure the reputation
of Minnesota seed if the farmers
familiarize' themselves with the la
bells so that they can read them prop

HORSE BARNS BURN
Loss, Estimated at $I,5o Results in
Consequence of Grass Fire
Getting Beyond Control.
Besides Barns Other Buildings OF Mile
Laos County Agricultural SO.
ciety Are Damaged.

Fire, on Saturday noon, did con-
siderable damage at the fair grounds:
entirely consuming the new horse
barns erected last year and the OLD
ones which were remodeled. The
poultry structure was also scorched
and slight damage caused to the
roof of the grand stand. In addi-
tion a fence was partially destroyed.
The fire was caused by the burning
off of the dry grass in the cemetery
addition, west of the Catholic bury
ing grounds. By some means or
other the flames got beyond control
and, the wind being in the right
direction, the fire spread across to
the fair grounds and effected the
damage above stated, which is con-
servatively estimated at 81, 500.
When the fire department. arrived
at the grounds the boys made
the run rapidly-there was no pos
sibility of saving the horse barns,
but the laddies performed splendid
work in preventing the other struc-
lures from being destroyed. Many
citizens helped the tremen in fight
ing the blaze and rendered material
assistance. With wet gunnysacks
they fought the fire persistently and
are entitled to credit for their gooo
work.
The buildings were uninsured as nc
company would carry the risk.
On Monday morning meeting Of
the Mile Laos County Agriculture
society was held in Mcmillan &
Stanley's office, at which time com
miItees were appointed to ascertain
the exact amount of damage caused
and also to endeayor to place thu
responsibility therefor.

be identified in the same way.

Farm Boys Encampment.

So successful was the farm boys
camp at the Minnesota state fair of
1912 that the: management has deter
mined to make it an annual feature.
The purpose tof this camp is to ex-
tend the educational advantages of
the state fair to the farms of the
state, and to stimulate a greater in
terest in the fair by spreading
throughout the eighty-six counties
its real worth, through the boys who
annually are members of the state
fair camp. A good, live, Wide-awake,
enthusiastic and energetic boy, such
as made up the camp at the 1912 fair,
is real live booster. He is an asset
to the state, his county and his COM
munity. He will spread the gospel
of better farming and more and
better live stock. Not only will the
management bring to the fair one
boy from each county, but they have
determined to select two boys from
each of the nine congressional dis
tricts of the state, who were mem
bers Of the 1912 camp, in addition
thereto, these boys to act as guides
and assist Superintendent Higbie in
looking after the welfare Of the new
boys. This selection will be made
from among the boys who submitted
essays following the last fair, as re.
quested. Thus the camp this veal
will be composed of 104 of the bright.
est and most intelligent farm boys
in the state.
This should not be COMPOUNDED

For further information the farmer
boys of Mile Laos county are re-
quested to make application to Guy
Ewing, superintendent of schools
Princeton, who will gladly furnish
| the details.

VISITING TEAM WINS
In First Game of Season Princeton
High School Baseball Team
Loses by One Point.
The Game Was Interesting and Well
Played Throughout but Month
cello Was Victorious.

The Monticello high school team
and the ball team representing the
local high school staged the opening
game of the season at the fair
grounds last Saturday. The locals
came out of the contest second best,
as the visitors succeeded in pi]ing up
a total count OF eight runs: whereas
the best the orange and black ath-
letes could do was a total of I. The
weather man was very liberal for this
early in the season and favored the
contest with fairly good baseball
weather. Although both teams
have been somewhat hampered by
their inability to get in very much
spring practice, still both teams
put up a pretty. stiff article of ball at
times and kept the contest exciting
at all times.
Princeton got a good start in the
beginning Of the game by shutting
the visitors out and rounding up
three runs for themselves when they
got their chance with the war clubs.
Not liking the looks of this big lead
the boys from down river got busy
in the second round and, on COL
lection Of hits, errors and some weird
heaving of the ball by the local ath-
letes, pushed their total up to five.
To this sum they added one more in
the fourth frame and two more in
the fifth and then stopped. The
locals had bad going until the
seventh, when they broke loose again
and, before they could be corraled
and branded, they had crossed the
registering station four times, bring
ing their total up to seven. But
this was the best they could do, al
though they made desperate efforts
to tie the score in the closing rounds,
and all but succeeded on several &C.
casions, but the so-called ''breaks'
of the game seemed to go against the
| locals and they were finally forced te
accept the short end of the score by
the narrow margin of one run. -
NOTES.
Dave Umbehocker carried off the
batting honors of the day by hitting
a clean three-bagger over the left
felder's head The blow came wher
there was two out. and Dave finally
had to expire at third with the tying
run SO near and yet so far away.
Considering the few nights Of
practice the locals have had and the
greenness of some of the players
most of whom are playing their first
year of high school baseball, they put
! up very creditable exhibition O
the national pastime and bid fair tt
