TO HAVE
POTATO SEED CENTER

Numerous centers for the growins
of superior seed potatoes will be es-
tablished this year in the potato belt
of Wisconsin If the plan announced by
James G.. Milward, secretary Of the
Wisconsin Potato Growers associa-
ton, is followed out
Officials OF railroads running through
the potato counties Of the state, and
representatives of other commercial
concerns, have already volunteered to
assist in this important movement
Mr.. Milward assured the growers IN
attendance at the Wisconsin Farmers
Course of the University of Wisconsin
that 1t is no longer necessary for them
to import seed stock. The seed which
is now needed for dissemination
among the growers OF Wisconsin can
be obtained within the state. 1t IS
true, the speaker admitted, that IN
many cases stock of high quality is
somewhat mixed. but these mixtures
can be eliminated by careful selection.
To aid the growers in learning OF the
variety characteristic of standard mar
ket varieties an exhibit of potatoes Is
being made by the university horticul'
tural department in Horticultural bali

Paraphrasing the poet one might
say:
In the spring a farmers fancy
Lightly turns to thoughts of seed"
Since the seed inspection law of
1909 was passed the Wisconsin farmer
whose thoughts turn to seed along
about the Ides of March is comforted
and sustained in a large degree by
the fact that all commercial seed sold
in the state must be labeled with
statement showing the termination,
purity test and the number and kind
Of noxious weeds present in it, Verify,
the day of the "scoop-shoYel sales
man" is gone.
For some time prior to the enact
nent Of the law Wisconsin was the
dumping ground for seeds unstable
In other states. Cheap seed was COM
mon, and the farmer who had hardy
pedigreed grain to sell for seed was
forced to scan the horizon for hours
in search Of customers.
Up to date, Seed Inspector A. l..
Stone has found dealers in general
willing to cooperate in enforcing the
law, but the chief difficulty is that
some are slow to realize the import
ance of good seed. In discussing the
ituation. Mr.. Stone says:
High grade seeds are produced

top, are often used for individual

constructions wintering six to twelve

are similar to the single colony case.

MANAGING BEES
In WINTER TIME

Many Wisconsin farmers do not Sc
cure more than ten per cent, Of the
product they should from their bees.
This is due partly to incorrect care in
preparing the bees for wintering and
lack of proper attention to wintering
conditions.
Bees are wintered by two methods
on the summer stands with protection,
and in cellar.
The bees wintered on the summer
stands should have more than enough
stores of honey to last them till next
June. A swarm of bees with 80 pounds
of available food, with proper protec-
lion, should winter in good condition
Winter cases. of one-half-inch or seven.

only under the most favorable con-
ditions. Prize winning grains cannot
be produced on weed infested fields.
While it is true that man has pro-
duced disease-resisting strains of
grains, it is useless to attempt the
propagation of weed resistant strains.
Weed eradication is the only solution.
Weeds come on the farm in two
wavs: either they grow from seeds
already there or from seeds or plants
brought onto the farm from outside
sources. The most common way in
which weeds are introduced on our
farms is by sowing agricultural seeds
in which weed seeds are present.
Many farmer has sown grains
or grasses and then wondered where
the buckhorn, mustard or thistle came
from. Sometimes he failed to recog-
nize them as noxious weeds until they
obtained such a foothold that it was
impossible to eradicate them.
For the sake of improving Badger
grains and forage crops, and at the
same time adding to your own reve-
nue.. follow these two rules:
DO not sell lot of seed that is
not first class and true to label In
every respect
When buying seed demand that
every container be properly labeled"

are removed from the cellar and placed
on the summer stands, feeding is nee
essary. Often, perhaps, more than six
out of ten years, cellar wintered bees
should have some sort of protection
placed about the hives upon removal
from the cellar, and allowed to stay on
till dandelion bloom. This protection
may be heavy wrapping paper folded
about the hive, leaving the entrance
open, of course.
The cellar should be dark, dry, kept
at a temperature of SO to As degrees

DIDN'T APPRECIATE THE JOKE
Girl Made Victim of Hoax by Mis-

In Fury.

One day several of my girl friends
called to see me. We started to make
some candy when / discovered that
we didn't have any chocolate in the
house and said that couldn't possibly
make 1t without "a speck of choco-
late"
Mary, one of the girls, said: why,
what kind Of chocolate is that
couldn't you use any other kind?"
One of the girls gave me a punch
and l said: ooh, no, couldn't use any
other kind. It's just new kind. You
telephone the grocery and order some,
Mary, and we'll start the candy. Now
be sure and order 'Aspecka.
So we filed to the kitchen and left
Mary to telephone. We sat in the
kitchen holding our sides with sup
pressed laughter while she called up
one store after another trying to get
"Aspecka chocolate" She finally gave
up in despair and then we told her.
Needless to say, she went home in a
fury, as mad as a wet hen. She bare

A minister's wife had quite tus-
sic with coffee and her experience is
interesting. She says:
During the two years of my train
ing as a nurse, while on night duty,
/ became addicted to coffee drinking.
Between midnight and four in the
morning, when the patients were
asleep, there was little to do except
make the rounds, and it was quite
natural that should want hot cup
of coffee about that time. l could
keep awake better.

fee drinking, became a nervous wreck
and thought that simply could not
live without my coffee. All this time
/ was subject to frequent bilious at
lacks, sometimes so severe as to
keep me in bed for several days..
After being married, Husband
begged me to leave off coffee for he
feared that it had already hurt me
almost beyond repair, SO resolved to
make an effort to release myself from
the hurtful habit.

few days felt the languid. tired feel
