Idaho Seed Exceptional.

AooHO OGS0 GASCPtlOhdls
Other states do not have soil and
climatic conditions that will permit
them to grow seed of such high
grade, excellent color, strong vital
itY and superior excellence as
Idaho. Eastern wholesale buyers
recognize this quality, and they
secure most of the purest and best
seed to ship east. Many Idaho
farmers, then, must buy a poorer
quality of seed from his neighbor
or ship in inferior seed from other
states.
1t pays to produce clean seed.
To grow clean seed it is necessary
to sow clean seed and to rogue the
fields. Seed that is free from
noxious weed seeds will bring on
any market from so to 100 percent
more than seed that contains weed
seed. The seed producing indus
try in Idaho has magnificent pros
poets if developed along the line
OF pure seed production.
Clean Up.
here is a way to get the ditch
banks cleaned without expense to
you. An act OF 1911 (Chapter 100 of
the 1911 Session laws of Idaho) makes
IL possible to compel the irrigation
and railroad companies and individ-
uals to exterminate nuxious weeds.
twenty-five (25) percent of the resi-
oeht freeholders living In regularly
organized road district may petition
tne county commissioners for the ex
termination of noxlous weeds within
lhelr road district. The county
commissioners then issue an order
which the road supervisor of this
uiStflct posts Ia three conspicuous
PAGES. He serves this order on the
o"herS and superintendents or man
ayers OF property within this district,

MUSEUM NOTES

This is the height of migration
season in the bird world. More spe-
cies of birds are here than at any
other time, for the migrants have not
yet gone North and early all the sum-
mer residents have come. Scarlet
tanagers are much more numerous
than usual, while many of the COM
mon sparrows are here in smaller
numbers than in previous years. A
least sandpiper was seen on the
sandy shore of the Passumpsic riv-
er above the Center last Friday. This
is an unusual bird in this vicinity.
Meadowlarks are again on the Grout
meadow in Kirby, just east of East
st. Johnsbury. This is the sixth con-
secutive season that this bird, so rare
in our locality, has returned to the
same nighborhood. A small flock of
meadowlarks were seen on the mead
ows below Brantview on May %. The
list of arrivals for the past week is:

ESMERALDA A SUCCESS
Teachers Gave Good Entertainment
to Benefit Retirement Fund.

st. Johnsbury public school teach
ers gave a very successful rendering
of the comedy drama "Esmeralda"
at the Colonial Friday evening. The
entertainment was given for the ben
eft of the Teachers Retirement Fund
and represented a great deal of work
and interest on the part of the teach
ers. The drama is by Mrs. Frances
Hodgson Burnett and William Gil
lette and was a difficult play for
amateurs. 1t was produced under
the direction of Miss Madeline Ran
dali and received unqualified praise
from all who saw it. The parts were
well taken, each person seeming to
be exactly the one to act the part
he represented. Those who took
part were Frank L. Cain from the
Academy faculty, the Misses Brown
ell, McCray, Braley, Pierce and Bart
lett from the public schools and
Messrs Collins Brodien, James
Campbell, Henry Ellis, A. J. Remil-
lard and Guy w. Hill from the town.
Music was furnished throughout by
the Juvenile orchestra under the
leadership of Miss Glenn Robinson.
The production will net the st.
Johnsbury teachers about $50.

Great Crowd In Scramble For Trot-
Moe Balloons.

Nine thousand Riddles, at least
that's what one citizen gave as an es-
innate, were on hand for the Trot-
Moe balloon day at Bundy & Amey' S
Friday afternoon. The youngsters
filed the street between the store and
the st. Johnsbury House and three
big policemen were required to hold
them in leash until the fun was
scheduled to start. So great was
the congestion in the store and out
side that several outsiders were
pressed into service to wait on the
crowd. Twenty balloons were re-
leased and the scramble for posses
sion of them resembled a riot. 1t
was no place for a molly-coddle as
the kids were hitting the line hard.
In the scramble two or three boys
lost their glasses and several rents
in wearing apparel testified that the
wearers were right in the midst of
things. Earl Bundy and EddieCro-
min were the fortunate boys to re-
cover ballons with the tags emitting
them to a pair of Trot-Moc shoes.
Ten box kites and 10 jumping ropes
went to other lucky youngsters.
