FARMERS WILL PLANT BETTER SEED
1T Il estimated by good authority
that Dakota farmers lost SIS, 600, 900
last ssast.n in dockage due to the pre-
sence OF weed seed In their grain
says Marley Champlin, Assistant A.
gronomist At the State College. While
no expects this condition to be-
come perfect, the seed situation at
present shows that by concentrated
effort much good has already been
done and much more good can be
done Ia the future. The beauty of u.s.
ing good seed IS that the better crop
yield ensuing costs practically noth-
Ing more than IL poor seed had been
used and = poor yield obtained.
From the samples OF seed received
by the Agronomy Department Of the
South Dakota Experiment. Station
from farmers Tor testing. 1t is plain
that the seed situation in the state Is
far better than usual. AS a rule the
samples Of alfalfa seed contain fewer
weeds and are terminating exception
ally well. Small grain seed including
wheat, OATS and barley has rarely
failed TO test less than 80 percent
Many samples OF corn have been test
ID that showed 80 percent germinat-
attnR power or better. Very few have
been leas than 50 percent. Now this
does not meat that vigilance should
b relaxed, but 1t does mean that the

WHEN To SEED WHEAT.

In reply to an inquiry from Forest
burg, Mr.. Champlin states, 81 would
say that what little information we
have leads to che belief that April lst
on the average is the best date to SOW
wheat. A week earlier than that is
all right or a week later will probably
not make a great deal Of difference.
There is danger in sowing now, as the
wheat may sprout and then be frozen
later. AS long as the wheat lies in
the ground without sprouting and in
a dry condition, the cold weather
would not hurt 1t, but ii we have a
warm spell, enough to sprout the
grain, and then 1t turns cold, the
seed will be killed.
For working down new land, we
have found the method of disking by
tapping n half, very satisfactory.
This should be followed with a har-
row In the same way Usually it is
necessary to set the harrow teeth

Blanco stepped toward Nero and
cut him savagely across the loins
The cat leaped from his pedestal and
crouched, snarling, in a corner.
Blanco stepped back toward the half
open door He took his eyes from
Nero. He knew that he could reach
the door and close it on his wife be-
fore Nero could spring.
He leaped for the door, tripped,
and stumbled. He had fallen upon
Minetta's whip, which she had cast
aside. He strove wildly to rise. He
saw great shape darken the day
light over him.
1t was Minetta's scream that called
Giuseppe from the collection box.
When he arrived he saw her beating
with her little fists on Nero's face,
while the lion blinked and snarled
over the body of Blanco.

Editor Register-Among the great at
fractions in our beautiful country around
Shephcrdstown are the cedar trees-the
only evergreen we have growing natur-
ally. Visitors to this community invar-
iably comment on their beauty, and envy
US their possession. They are the only
shelter for the birds who stay with us
through the winter, and they are lnvalua-
Bile in so many ways that the loss would
be irreparable.
But we hear lately that the owners OF
apple orchards in the neighboring coun-
ties OF Virginia and West Virginia are
demanding the destruction OF all cedars,
claiming that "cedar rust is injurious 10
certain varieties of apples.
The cedars have been here, IN all prob
ability, since the country was created, and
apple orchards have been planted here
for very many years, but il is only within
the last few years that we have heard OF
"cedar rust"
The orchardists admit that cedar rust
is injurious to only few varieties OF ap-
pies. Then why not eliminate those
varieties, and plant only such varieties as
are immune, though surely remedy can
be found for the rust
We all recognize the rights OF the or
chardists, but the owners Of cedars also
have rights which are entitled TO equal

Absolutely nude, Mary Cox, II years
old, was found kneeling in prayer by Ser
geant Sweeney, of the northeastern dis
trict, in Baltimore. Mary was singing
and seemed blissfuIly unconscious of the
cold winds that swept about her. Ser
geant Sweeney wrapped his coat about
her and took her with him TO the North
eastern Police Station. There clothes
were reluctantly put on by the girl. AT a
hearing, before Magistrate Dean, Mary
told the justice that she had seen vision
at midnight and that angels had led her
TO the spot where she was found. She
had been told by the angelic legions, she
said, that it was not right TO wear clothes
when she prayed. In answer TO one OF
the magistrates questions she suddenly
burst forth into song, at the same time
rendering an accompaniment on an i'm
aginary organ. 81 am inclined to be-
lieve," said Justice Dean, THAT Mary's
angels were rather careless in Turing her
out into the cold. She had better be ex-
amined by physician.

A MESSAGE TO WOMEN
Who are "Just Ready to Drop"

When you are "jusr ready to drop"
when you feel so weak that you can
hardly drag yourself about-and be-
cause you have not slept well, you
get up as tired-out next morning as
when you went to bed, then you need
help right away.
Miss Lea Dumas writes from Ma
lone, N. Y, saying: 81 was in badly
rundown condition for several weeks,
but two bottles of Vinol put me on
my feet again and made me strong
and well. Yinol has done me more
good than all the other medicine l
ever took"
II the careworn, haggard men and
women, the pale, sickly children and
feeble old folks around here would
follow Miss Dumas example, they,
too, would soon be able to say that
Vinol, our delicious cod liver and iron
remedy, had built them up and made
them strong.
1t Is wonderfully strengthening
and invigorating body-builder, and we
cell it under an ironclad guarantee
satisfaction. You get your money
if Vinol does not help you

THERE is spirited struggle in Con-
gress over proposed memorial to Abra-
ham Lincoln. One faction wishes to
spend couple of millions in building an
imposing Greek temple of white marble
near the Potomac, while another faction
is enthusiastically in favor OF spending
the money for splendid roadway
Lincoln boulevard-from Washington to
Gettysburg.
We lean toward the latter plan. Abra-
ham Lincoln, if he could have any feel
ing in the matter, would not know what
to do with himself in Greek temple, but
we think that he would appreciate mag.
nificent connecting link between Wash
ington and Gettysburg. His name and
fame are inseparably linked with these
two places.

The attempt OF President Taft to fill a
number OF important offices with Repub-
licans whose terms will run during Pres
ident Wilson's administration is likely to
fail. The Democrats in the Senate will
positively refuse to allow the confirrna-
ton of these partisan appointments, on
the ground that the incoming President
has the right to make the selections. The
Senators are entirely right At best, Mr..
Taft is poor judge of men, and he should
not be permitted to name a lot of lame
ducks for places that ought to be filled
with progressive Democrats who will be
in sympathy with Mr.. Wilson.
On Tuesday President Taft nominated
two commissioners for the District of
Columbia and announced his intention to
shortly name the third. Common cour-
tesy requires that these particular appoint
ments should be left to the next Presi-
dent. who will necessarily be intimate
with the commissioners and especially
interested in their work, but Mr.. Taft fat
uously and arbitrarily insists on filling the
offices. II is certain that the appoint
ments will not be confirmed by the Sem
ate, and the only result viii, be conten-
ton and humiliation.

WASHINGTON folks have been good
deal agitated over the fact that President
elect Wilson has intimated that he would
prefer that the usual Inauguration ball be
dispensed with. This ball has usually
been held in the Pension Building, which
is practically closed for two weeks there
by, causing loss to the government OF
some SIS, 900. Mr.. Wilson very properly
thinks that this is too expensive an en-
tertainment, and besides it does not en-
tirely coincide with his expressed pref
erence for an unostentations inauguration.
II has been money-making affair, how
ever, and those who have an eye on the
finances are 10th TO give it up. Mr.. Will
sons views are likely to prevail, how
ever, and the people generally will ap-
prove of his point of view, however dis
appointing il may be to the Washington
ians.

In another column of the Register this
week will be found a letter from Mr..
Henry w. Potts, protesting against the
wholesale destruction OF cedar trees with
the view of preventing "cedar rust" a
new-fangled pest that attacks certain va
rieties Of apple trees. We confess to full
sympathy with Mr.. Potts's view of the
matter. What a serious blow to the
beauty of our charming country landscape
if all the handsome evergreens should be
ruthlesslY destroyed How bare and
bleak our lovely cliffs along the river
would become, shorn OF their ever love-
ly shrubbeyl Surely there are esthetic
values as well as commercial considera-
tions-apples are not everything. Some
how we feel confident that remedy will
be found for the cedar rust; indeed, we
shouldn't wonder if it is temporary
trouble that will pass as quickly as it
came.
In the meantime, woodman, spare those
cedars

ports OF State Legislatures tied up be-
cause of difficulties arising over the cleo
