Two years ago, in the month Of
January, application was made to the
seed department for information as
to where $4,000 bushels Of high grade
seed could be secured. The depart
ment was able to secure for the buy
ers only a fraction Of the grain which
they needed. It Is hoped and believed
that with the present system Of seed
inspection, and the listing of growers,
together with the certifying and seal
ing of pure seed, the difficulty which
has formerly been experienced in OBJ
tanning pure seed may be largely done
away with, and the quality of the
grain grown in the state vastly i'm
proved.
The department now has a mailing
list of more than 24O,00 farmers, all
over the United States. There are
10000 North Dakota farmers listed,
and $4,000 of these are classified, so
that the department knows the spe-
cialty of each, and in what he is espe-
cially interested.
In connection with the fight for
pure seeds, Professor Bolley's research
work on fungus groWths and their eff
fects on grains is of interest. Pro-
fessor Bolley has been trying for years
to determine the cause for loss of fer
tility, and the reasons why crop ro-
tation proves so beneficial.
He has succeeded by careful selec-
ton and breeding in producing a
wheat plant with a pure white root,

City Engineer Anders
Discusses City Manager
in the Eastern Cities

1.-THE latest attempt to better con-
ditions has been for the municipality
to place the entire control of its ad-
ministratiVe affairs in the hands OF
n man and in the several cities that
have adopted the system, men whose
previous training and experience fore
Swallowed success, have been appoint
ed. This is merely a leaf from the ex-
perience Of the private corporation.
Action in some cases has been very
rapid. Staunton. Va, the birthplace
of President Wilson, was the first
city to try the trained man as a city
manager and for about three years
was the only one administered in this
manner. About a year G Sumpter.
S. c., also adopted the plan, quickly
followed by several cities in Kansas,
Iowa, Illinois and Pennsylvania. Ohio,
Pennsylvania and New York and
some other states have passed stat
utes defining the status of municipal
government where the city manager
Is the principal officer. Dayton and
Springfield, o., have already taken
advantage of the new law and chosen
their managers. 1t is assumed that
the manager at Stanton, Va, was
successful. for he has been appointed
to a like position at Springfield, 0.

Dayton will be watched with the
greatest interest. The conditions
there are markedly similar to those
which inaugurated the commission
form at Galveston, Tex. Each of
these cities were visited with storms,
floods and destruction Of property
that appalled, the stoutest hearts.
1.-THE successful work, completed
under the conditions existing at Gal
weston. pointed the way to placing
the administration of municipal af-
fairs in a smaller number Of individ-
uals. than had heretofore prevailed,
the elimination of which is the So
called manager plan. The city man
ager Of DAYTON, O., took charge of
affairs on Jan. 1, 1914. The provi-
sions Of the city charter under which
he operates are as follows:
"Sec. At. The commission shall ap-
point a city manager who shall be the
administrative head of the municipal

entirely free from fungus growth. He
has learned that a fungus growth is
the cause Of the root decay which SO
often is seen in grain fields, where
poor crops are attributed to soil de-
pletion.
Exhaustive tests have been made on
lands which have been seeded to wheat
for twenty years, and which the own
erS commended would not grow a bush
ell of wheat to the acre. Plots of this
land were, steamed to kill every weed
and every bit of fungus growth in it.
1t was then seeded and produced a
fine crop of wheat, which would seem
to indicate that fungus growths, and
not depletion Of fertility, was the
cause of poor crops.
OF course treatment of all soils so
affected would be impossible, but crop
rotation accomplisheS much the same
purpose, as the fungus of a certain
grain or grass n live on most
other grains and grasses. In this way
crop rotation tends to kill out fungus
groWths, and the quality of each crop
is much better than with continuous
cropping. The roots when white and
free from fungus groWths grow deep
and strong, and thoroughly nourish
the plant.
In orders to aid the teachers in the
schools of the state to teach the prin-
ciples of agriculture, weed eradica-
ton and pure seed selection more
thoroughly, the department has pre-.
pared a book containing specimens Of
all the most common weeds in the
state. There is also a set containing
samples of weed seeds and one show
ing the most common plant diseases.

these sets are designed to teach the

hand. The success of a Goethals, an
Earl, a Gorgas. or a Walter Reid has
been made possible only by long years
Of careful training supplemented by
arduous and trying experience.
Contrast the successful accom-
plishments Of trained men in the serv-
Ice of private corporations with that
or n men who are generally charged
with the administration Of the affairs
of our cities. An analysis Of the sub
Ject will show that most of the work
of cities is of a highly specialized ma
ture. requiring a working knowledge
OF the laws of nature, special training
and considerable experience for its
successful accomplishment. The work
is not differentiated in this respect
from that performed by the private
corporation. Yet, in the face Of these
facts, some of the hardest problems,
which in the ordinary cours Of in
vestigation would take months to ac-
complish, have been solved to their
W satisfaction in moi to exceed five
minutes, by men whose only qualifica-
ton to handle 1t was a certificate Of
election.

IioLl anu great eCOllOIHy mas leo The
man on the street to ask himself in
his capacity as a citizen why his mu-
nicipality cannot accomplish the same
results. AS an example, it has been
said in the past that municipal own
ership was a failure. Future cond1-
tons may change this opinion, but if
municipal ownership is ever a success,
it will be only when politics has been
entirely eliminated and in it's stead
an organization substituted patterned
after that of private corporations.
There is no reason in the world why a
city owned plant cannot do exactly
the same work with the same econ
omy as a privately operated plant, If
the same conditions prevail. However,
there would be nc, pie left if such con-
ditions were created and hence mu-
nicipal ownership in most cases has
not been an unalloyed success.

for viability or terminating quail
ties. The foreign seeds, weed seeds,
etc., which are present, are carefully
counted, and the grain graded for
purity. y.
One hundred grains are taken, and
placed on trays in the terminating
ovens, where the percentage of ger
mination is determined. After passing
on purity and terminating qualities,
which count 70 per cent, the samples
will be submitted to experts Who will
pass on the hardness, plumpness,
milling qualities, color, etc, of the
grain which count the remaining 80
per cent.
Though working in very cramped
quarters, the corps of workers at the
A. G. are making good progress with
the judging Of the samples, and when
the contests open, they will all be
graded, and on exhibition. There are
some very excellent prizes to be
awarded for the best grains, but this
Is by no the greatest value Of
the contest.
For a long time, the seed depart
ment Of the A. c. has tested seed for
any farmer who sent in a sample.
But Professor Bolley came to the con-
clusion that they were testing the bad
seed, while the good seed, was not
coming in. Farmers would send in
seed grain, desiring to know if it was
good enough to plant, or if they had
better sell it and buy purer seed. So
the good seed did not come to the
knowledge of the department, Prof
essor Bol1ey wished. " e.
An act of the legislature at the last
session provides that the department
may inspect. analyze, and test seeds,
that at any time and place it sees fit.
1t may also publish a bulletin of those
who have pedigreed or improved seed
for sale, this bulletin to be sent to
anyone who is DESTROYS of getting in
touch with growers of good seed.
"Pedigreed" or improved" seed may
be sealed in bags with number and
descriptive tag attached with lead
seal, for shipment to buyers, in order
to avoid all possibility of any sub
stitution. This sealing of seed, and
the supplying Of the seals to growers
is a function Of the department and
will go a long way toward improving
the quality of seed used in the state.
There is a heavy fine attached to any
violation Of the seed law, or for abuse
Of the sealing privilege.
The elimination dof certain weeds
and grasses is being constantly striv-
en- for. The act provides that the
presence of the seeds of certain weeds
and grasses in grain sent in for in
spection shall cause this grain to be
