WEEDS MEAN WASTE
TEST YOUR SEED

MADISON, Feb. Is. This spring
when buying farm seeds in packages
Of one pound or over look on the
label fOr-the name and kind of
seed; the name and address of the
seller, the percentage of pure seed,
the percentage OF seed which will
grow and if it is corn, alfalfa or
amy of the cereals, the place where
grown.
Remember, too, the Canada thistle,
kuack grass, clover, dodder, alfalfa
dodder, field dodder, wild and Inbian
mustard, ox-eyed daisy, wild oats,
corn cookie, snap dragon or butter
and eggs, perennial SOW thistle,
and uckhorn or English plantain be-
long to the Outcast classes in Wis
consin and that when any of these
undesirables appear in greater num-
bers than one to 1000 or less of the
crop seeds, the latter is unstable.
Anyone may test his own seed,
but of course will be held RESPONSE
BILE for the accuracy of the test
and should the inspector find seed
not as represented the seller will be
liable to prosecution and fine.
Samples of seeds which are sent to
the state seed inspector of the
agrOnomy building, University OF
Wisconsin, Madison, Will be examined
in order of their receipt. The law
fixes a charge of % cents per sam
pie for such examinations. By avail
ing themselves of this service the
farmers of Wisconsin can sow seed,
this spring which will insure them
| larger and better crops.

SUBMARINE is SUNK?

hTe submarine that sent the Oakby
10 the bottom is believed to have
been the same one that attacked the
British collier Branksome Chime, and
sank the Norwegian steamer Reg

Word of the sinking of the Oakby

that attacked the packet Victoria ON

The Near Cry For Bread

A dispatch says" News has come
to the state department that the
people of Albania are utterly desti-
tute."
Those dispatches will come oftener
and the appeals for help will be
more and more urgent. Over vast
areas of Europe no harverts will this
year be gathered save the harvest of
death. The soil is torn by the tramp
ing of men and horses and the grind
of artillery wheels.
In southeastern Europe and west
ern Aisa typhus and famine are
marching hand in hand to their field
of death, and the cries that will
soon rise from those regions will be
more heart-rending than the echoes
from the battlefields. This year
Americans must not only cultivate
their fields, but their charities, for
when the clouds of nextwinter begins
to darken the sky, the cry for bread
will swell into the diapason of des-
pair.

OF COMMERCE STARTS OUT
WITH A GOOD FEELING AND BRIGHT PROSPECTS

Tuesday evening the Kendrick
Chamber of Commerce held its first
regular meeting. The bylaws for
the organization were adopted and
officers for the ensuing year were
elected as follows: G. P. Barnum,
president; B. G. Johnson, vice-presi-
dent; A. R. Shumaker, secretary;
N. E. Walker, treasurer and E. H.
Dammerall and C. F. Byrne direc-
tors with the president of the club
as the third member. Already eigh-
teen members have been enrolled
and the business men of the little
city of Kendrick are invited to join
providing they want to see better
Kendrick and are willing to put
their shoulder to the wheel and help
make better town. This club is
not for any person or persons, but
for the betterment of the town
and the Potlatch country. The town
never had better or brighter pro-
spect for making a good town than
at the present time. The natural
resources of the Potlatch country
are just the main thing that is caus-
ing the brighter prospects and if
the citizens of the town and
country are willing to take hold and
make an effort, the rest is sure to
come. One thing that looks good to
the energetic business man who is
awake to the opportunities of the
town and country is the establish
ment of the butter factory that is
being worked upon at the present
time. The farmer is taking hold of
it because he himself knows the real
true benefits he can derive from it
and if the farmer can derive bene-
fit so can the local business man. It
helps to build up the town, bring in
new fences and stimulate trade
cond itions, when there is proven to
be success, as to our minds it will,
those other industries will follow.
We have in this Potlatch country
the raw material for canning.fac-
tory, pork and bean canning plant
and other things that we might
mention, but will hold for future
reference. Get down to the fine
point, Kendrick must come to the
front, and it must be done by the
efforts of the business men of the
town. Conditions must be made
right and then every man in the
town join with his fellowman as a
friend and neighbor and work for
the one end, Better Kendrick.' -

Let Everybody Do 1t!

When a stranger enters our gate
way speak a good word for yorktown,
for your neighbors, and for your
community.
When as stranger you enter
another town, remember your home
town, and your neighbors, or COM
munity-and say good word for
them-form the habit.
Forever speaking detrimental Of
of your town, neighbors, or commun-
ity is nothing but a bad habit; a
habit that once formed, grows as
rank and rapid as skunk cabbage.
and is of just about as much benefit
to the people of a community.
The advantages of speaking favor
ably of your home town and its peo-
pie are many-it costs you nothing,
raises you high in the estimation of
your neighbors, and will bear abund-
ant fruit when your community is
being judged by others.
If good fellowship is shown in the
hearts of our people, adjoining towns
will know us as a community Of ac-
cord, as people with united efforts,
and our town a worthy place of the
future.
But if we turn to criticism, abuse
and belittle our community and our
neighbors, we draw upon ourselves
and our town the unenviable reputa-
tion of discord, which to others is
best let we'll enough alone.
So form the habit of speaking a
good word at all times-BOOST
your town.
AS you lead others will follow.

feet struck a splendid flow of water.
He was in Kendrick Tuesday buying

and is figuring on putting in a first
class modern system. We notice the
farmers of the Patlatch country are
fast putting their homes into modern
conditions and this speakes we'll for
the country as we'll as the farmer
himself. There is no class of peaple
on the face of the earth that de-
serves these modern appliances more
than the faithful farmer, who is the
life of the universe.

Rolled Barley for Dairy Cows

Barley will not dry up milch cows,

standard grain feed for cows in
north European countries and is also
fed by many dairynen in this coun-

A COW in the university dairy
herd has teen fed rolled barley as
the only grain feed, with green al
falfa or hay for five months. and
has produced more milk and main
tanned her production better on this
feed than ever before. May % to

pounds of butter fat and September

Farmers Should Raise Snakes

Every farmers and every poultry
raiser should keep few snakes as a
protection to his crops and poultry,
says Allen S. Williams. secretary of
the international Psychological
society in a statement just issued.
Williams is a traveller and a lecturer
and snakes are his hobby. He has
collected reptiles in every part of
the western hemisphere. "The idea
is simple" Williams says. "Rats,
weasles and other rodents distroy
crops and are the natural enemies of
domestic fowls. Snakes are the
natural enemies of rodents. Keep
few snakes to kill off the young
rodents and in time your crops and
chickens will be safe. To the cere-
al crops alone in the United States
rodents cause an annual loss of
$1O0,0O0,OO0. If snakes had even
half a chance the loss to farmers
and poultry raisers would be reduce
ed to practically nothing. There
are dozen varieties which could
accomplish the work and are non.
poisonous"
