PLAN FOR FIELD
CROP INSPECTION
Lay Out Seed Plots Now and
Notify State Experiment Station
At Once.

The Pure Seed section of the North
Dakota Experiment station is plan
ming the work of field crop inspection
for the coming season, so as to help
the growers Of seed for sowing pur-
poses as much as possible. There is
a large demand for pure bred seeds
of high quality.
Now is the time to lay out the flax
seed plot for the growth of small
amount of high grade seed for future
use on your own farm. This is also
the time to plan the increase field
upon which to grow seed which will
be clean and fit for sale as seed.
1t will be difficult to improve the
yield of fax, wheat and other cereals
unless most farmers recognize that
seed must be specially grown, select
ed and properly cured. Home grown
seed is always best. .
Pure.1red Seed.
In flax, because of wilt and canker,
it is strictly necessary to take steps
to get pure-bred seed, more than or
dinarily resistant. The same argu-
ment holds for the cereals, because of
special diseases in those crops.
The seed plot on which each farm
err expects to increase the seed, eth
er for his own use or for sale as
seed, should be properly laid out to
admit of examination without tram
ping down the flax.
Do It This Way.
Do it in this way: Prepare the
ground SO as to make a firm, clean
seed-bed, well drained and we'll work
ed for the kind Of crop. In an 11-foot
drill, plug the seventh seed cup from
each end Of the drill This will leave
a strip where the empty shoe runs,
through which one may walk without
interfering with the grain. 1t will
allo you to pull out any bad weeds
or scattered heads of other varieties
difficult to remove by the tanning
mill. F".
In so far as funds and time will
permit, a crop inspector will visit the
farms of all those parties who prop
erly lay out seed plots. This field
plot inspector will give special at
tention to bronze grass and flax fields
upon which seed is to be grown for
sale as seed for sowing purposes with
a view Of aiding the owner to SO puri.

vested and saved. This inspector will
also BE-, able to give advice. on other
matters with regard to weeds, and as
to purity Of crops in other lines, as
wheat and barley.
Lay Out Routes.
No seed will be sealed or certified
under the sealing clause Of the Pure
Seed law excepting it be thus field
crop inspected.
We wish to begin to lay out the
routes for the inspector. All those
who have seed plots or increase fields
which they would like to have ex-
should put themselves in CON-
with this office at as early
a date as possible.
Address all correspondence regard
ing field crop inspection to H. L.

SPRING SICKNESS
COMES TO EVERYONE

Spring sickness comes in some de-
gree to every man, woman and child
in our climate. 1t is that rundown
condition of the system that results
from impure, impoverished, devital-

appetite and that tired feeling, and in
many cases by some form Of eruption.
The best way to treat spring sick
ness is to take Hoods Sarsaparilla.

riches and revitalizes the blood.

4pns7eot ssyIneR 2aF7r


Poaching whole tomatoes and Gu

salad is one OF the latest culinary
wrinkles. The idea appeals especially
to persons suffering from an Unborn
fear of germs as welT as those who
cannot easily digest raw vegetables.
The poacbing process effeetlaIly set
ties the germ question and it is claimed
renders these two favorite salad vege-
tables more digestible than in their
raw state. If the water is boiling
when the vegetables are put in they
may be removed at the end OF seven
minutes. They are then ready to be
drained and chilled. the skin OF the
tomato being at once pulled of.
Tomatoes are immersed in the boil
ing water without being cut, but Gu
cumbers should be thinly pared. A bay
leaf, a sliced onion and a little vinegar
are often added TO the water in which
these vegetables are poached, result
ing in a delicate addition to their nat
ural favor. The tomato gives little
evidence that 1t has been poached, but
In the case OF the cucumber, while the
flavor is not changed. the texture of
the pulp is slightly different.
A poached cucumber should not be
served in thin slices, as is the custom
with the uncooked vegetable, as 1t
lacks the crispness which is one of its
chief charms. 1t may, however, be
sliced. provided the slices are not de-
tached and the cucumber left in its
original shape and laid on a bed OF
chopped ice II the cucumber is pared
with a iluted knife this method Of
serving it can be made decidedly at
tractive, as the appearance does not
indicate that it has been sliced, while
the fact that it has been facilitates
serving. French dressing should be
passed with cucumber so served.
Poached cucumbers are desirable to
use as cups in which to put sauce
or small portions Of vegetables served
as garnish for fish. When to be used
for this purpose cut in thick slices,
sufficient to serve as the height of the
cup. Remove the inner seed portion
and fill the cavity with whatever sauce
or vegetable is desired. Arrange
around the fish as a border, serving
one cucumber cup to each portion.
Stewed celery is delicious served in
cucumber cups, and so are tiny lima
beans. When the filling is hot vege-
table the cucumber cups should be
reheated for serving, but for holding
sauce they should be chilled.
Poached tomatoes and cucumbers
served together, the tomatoes in slices
and the cucurnbers in cubes, make
delicious salad, even without the addi-
tion of either lettuce or romaine. the
use of which would introduce an un-
cooked material into the salad.
