TESTING VEGETABLE SEED

An experiment was conducted last
season with a number of varieties of
vegetables which endeavored to as
certain the purity of seed used and
the varieties adapted to this part of
the country. The varieties were
grown in the College Experiment
Station gardens under like condi-
tions and given only moderate care
and cultivation.
In the 26 varieties of peas planted
we had wide variation rs to seed
termination and character in growth
of vines. The purity of the seed
could not easily be estimated.
The Varieties Unique, 800 Lax
tonian, Exhibition, Laxtonian and
Giant Sugar Sword gave very poor
results in termination, about one
half of the seed planted coming up.
In Magnificent and Improved STRAIT
agem only six plants Of each variety
came up. The New First Early
variety was the first to reach ma
turity. The two heaviest yielding
were Amer and Dwarf Telephone.
The varieties with the long slender
vines which grew out on the ground
and matted up were the most sus-
ceptible to attacks of the aphis.
In II varieties of radishes planted ,
10 were found to be true to the type
for which they were planted. The
others varied from SO per cent true
to type in the Early Scarlet Turnip
variety down to IS per cent true in
the French Breakfast variety. Red
Rocket variety was first to reach
maturity. New Purple variety was
the heaviest producer.
In the varieties of cabbage the
seed was badly mixed and as many
as three distinct types of heads were
found growing in the Early Spring
varieties. Variety No. 1902 failed
to terminate. The heaviest yielding
variety was Copenhagen Market. 1t
stood the conditions best and pro-
duced large, firm. nearly round
heads, averaging nearly three pounds
per head.
In the tomatoes the per cent OF
ripened fruit varied from Al per
cent in the variety Livingston s
Humor, to 100 per cent in the variety
Earliest of All. Earliest of All,
while variety that ripened Ill its
fruit here, is not to be recommended
as tomato for market production
on account of its roughness. The

CATTLE TUBERCULOSIS
NOT HEREDITARY

Agitation for the slaughter of all
reactors to the tuberculin test for
cattle reveals the present law, which
has been considered an adequate
protection since its passage, does
not meet the demands of the pres
ent day packers or consumers.
II immediate slaughter is de-
manded of all reactors,'' said DIR.
H. T. Graves, state veterinarian,
recently, the law should contain
some provision allowing the owner
reimbursement and not compel him
to suffer practically a total loss.
The department will ask the next
legislature for this and for stronger
inspection law
AS it stands now, a strong meas
ure of protection is afforded by the
indefinite quarantine provision,
because the owner cannot dispose of
any infected cattle in quarantine
without notifying the department;
but to protect himself from a total
loss, the cattle owner can, by put
ting the new born calves upon un-
infected milk, in short time re-
plenish his herd and suffer no great
loss"
This is the disposition of the vast
majority of cattlemen in this state,
and it is a we'll known fact that
some of the cleanest herds in the
state have been replenished and
cleaned out in this way.
tuberculosis is not considered
hereditary. Pure bred cattle with
care, even though infected, can be
made to net the owner vastly more
than the three cents per pound
his meat will bring him if it passes
the port norton examination or
the IS allowed by the packers for
the condemned carcass.
