FEDERALS HAVE HARD TIME

The game between the Federals
of this city and the Pittsville team
of the Wood County League was
not pulled off as scheduled.
Wet grounds is given as the rea-
son, and it was fortunate thing for
the Rapids Feds. that the reason was
given. The Feds. did not all arrive
at PittsNille. One auto load got
sthere all right. Another auto load
had an accident and could not get
there and the third did not even get
started. The man who was to take
the third section of the Feds let his
machine to some one else and dis
appointed the boys. They coralled a
gasoline hand car and started on
their way, but fate was against them
for the car gave out and refused to
run. They pushed it several miles
until exhausted. Then giving up the
attempt to reach Pittsville, they
turned the car around and started to
push it home. For some treason or
other as soon as the car was head
ed for home it came to life and the
return trip was made in record time.

WISCONSIN GROWN"
FARM GRAINS BEST

Madison Wis, June a. Several
outside firms have been attempting
TO sell high priced seed grains to
Wisconsin farmers without properly
labelling their packages. This is in
violation of the inspection law. In
mos instances the seed was found by
A. L. Stone, state seed inspector, Col
lege of Agriculture, University of
Wisconsin, to be of mediocre quality,
and lacking the purity and vitality
possessed by seed raised in Wiscon-
sin
In north central Wisconsin an ag-
ent sold oats at 1915 and barley and
potatoes at 81 per bushel. At the
same time individual farmers in that
vicinity We're offering seed in every
way as good if not better, for 81 a
bushel, or even less. Further than
this, the buyers of this imported
seed found strings tied to their
bargains
Upon examining the copy of the
contracts they had signed they found
they had agreed not to countermand
the order. They had also agreed to
call at the depot for the seed when
it arrived and to pay for the seed by
September IA, 1914 Thus, the con
tract became in fact a promissory
note. The buyer had no recourse I'M
der the state seed inspection law, as
the seeds were delivered in original
packages direct to the farmer with
no collecting agent, bringing it I'M
der the jurisdiction of the interstate
commerce commission. Hence, very
few buyers would attempt reprisal.
Before purchasing high priced seed,
farmers viii find it to their advant-
age to submit samples to the Expert
ment Station, Madison. for examina-
ton as to quality and purity
