AS to the wassermann blood tests,
announcement is made that the state

Attention is called to the fact that |

Ihe termination Of
Crimson Glover Seed

Since November l, 1913, there
pave been imported into the Unit
id States 3,329,SS3 pounds of Grim
5on clover seed. This seed comes
mostly from France and Austria,
where the harvest season is practi-
daily the same as in this country.
The time for seeding follows the
harvest season so closely that only
part of the imported seed is re-
Geived in time to be sown the
year it is raised. If the condi-
tions of storage are not the best
the seed may lose materially in vi
tality between the time of harvest
and that of seeding the next year.
New seed of good quality is, free
from any brownish color, but old
seed shows varying degrees of
brown according to age and condi-
lions under which it has been
stored The brownish color is an
indication of poor termination -
the darker the color the poorer the
termination Seed which shows a
slight brownish color should be tes-
ted for termination before sowing,
land no brown seed should be used
unless a termination test shows it
will grow well.
II termination tests of the 119 lots
| OF crimson clover seed imported in
the last eight months show an
average of 80 per cent. of live
| seeds. The termination varied
from 40 per cent. for the poorest
lot to 81 per cent. for the best
GOT AS crimson clover seed loses
yits vitality rapidly, and as practical
\ ly all the imported seed is 1 year
| old before seeding, an effort should
/ be made to save domestic seed
| wherever possible. This is espe-
cially true Of seed for local or home
| use, where it can be seeded with
| out thrashing or cleaning.

AT Dorchester County Fair.

The racing events for the Dor
chester County Fair Association,
during the week of August 24-29,
with purses amounting TO $4,000 for
the four days, have attracted an
unusually large number of fine en-
tries, and it will be great sur
prise to the horsemen if the fastest
time ever made in this section is
not made in some of these events.
The track of the Fair Association
is said by the horsemen, without
exception, to be the finest one on
the Peninsula. 1t is so constructed
that even if it were to rain hard
in the morning, the water will run
off quickly, and with a little effort
it can be gotten in good shape in
time for the afternoon races.

is as follows:
