the percentage of the poor variety present.

The writer has visited a number of fields of corn, wheat, milo and feterita during the present summer and has so far been unable to find a single field where the variety grown was pure. Among the corn, the types were mixed and the percentage of steritle stalks high; in the wheat and barley other varieties of wheat were constantly present; in the milo and feterita all sorts of hybrids and worthless types were frequent These admixtures de tract both from the yield of the field and the price which can be obtained from the crops harvested. The writer has just returned from the Fair at San Francisco. While the agricultur- al exhibits were very fine and inter- esting, he was amazed at the amount of mislabeling and admixtures among the varieties of grain shown.
 The writer knows of two Arizona farmers in the Casa Grande valley who sold all of their last years crop of corn at five cents per pound be- cause they had pure, unmixed varie ties which were adapted to Arizona conditions. Another farmer near Yu- ma sold his whole wheat crop at $2I per hundred pounds while his neigh

NEED FUR GOOD, PURE SEED,
 SAYS PROF. |. r. FREEMAN

The profits of the farmer, says Prof. c. F. Freeman, plant breeder of the U. of A. agricultural experiment sta- tion, depend as much upon the cost of production.
 One of the principal items in the cost of production is the yield per acre. If the seeds planted are faulty or of poor variety the yield will be unsatisfactory, no matter how we'll the soil is prepared or the crop is cultivated. It costs just as much to culti- vate field planted to a poor variety as to good one. Differences due to poor or good varieties, even when the

bors could get but about $1.75 per hundred. This was because he had pure and improved variety. A far mer near Somerton last year sold his entire crop of feterita at cent a pound above the regular market price harvesting and rogued out all of the off types.
 This is the time of year to rogue the milo and feterita which was plant ed early. The later planting should be rogued in October and November just before harvesting. The principal source of contamination with wheat is in the thresher and through volun- teer barley. A day or two's work will rogue. an acre of wheat from barley and off types of head. Stack this acre discarding for sale in the mill the first bushel or two threshed then save for seed the remainder of the rogued stack. By using equal care the following season, wheat free from barley and off types can be secured and maintained. Wheat free from barley will bring from to 10 cents per hundred pounds more than con- taminated grain for milling purposes and should be worth 50 cents per nun- dred more for seeding purposes.

Close on the heels Of ,he arrest Of

say, is held on a charge of having

the other are charged with having

Sunday night
The entire % cattle which were re-

at Barctta's ranch.

Driving at top speed, the smugelers

GERS said.
Less than II hours later customs
officials had traced the stolen cattle
to the Baretta ranch and placed the

under arrest.
Two arrests Wednesday followed the

Edison Gladly Accepts.

In announcing that he would gladly
accept Secretary Daniels invitation
Mr.. Edison said that he believed the
proposal so important thai it should
be attended to at once, Willie the war
in Europe was bringing before the pub
tic the Importance of encouraging and
developing ideas and inventions of
Americans, especially officers and men
Of the army and navy.
"The United States is far behind in
these Matters" said Mr.. Edison. Il
believe it is highly important for a
board of civilians made up of engi-
neers from leading industries to be
formed for the purpose Of looking into
the feasibility of ideas developed by
young men. While all ideas that will
be submitted may not be feasible, at
least they will have the benefit of ex-
pert judgment and advice.
"In addition to the advisory board
Of engineers I would also suggest a
department Of experimentation, where
IDEAS might be tried out. The cost
woulG be nominal. Only a few acres
of land would be required, with proper
buildings aud n corps of efficient men
calculated to carry out experiments
under the direction Of those suggest
ing them after they have been APP
proved.
"The European war has served to
draw attention to the fact that many
American ideas and inventions have
been allowed to slip by. and if this
matter Is pnt off until the war 10 over
there ~ danger Of 1t being forgotten"

ENCOURAGEMENT by Thomas A..

A ENCOURAGEMENT by Thomas A.
IA Edison of his acceptance Of
~ Secretary Daniels offer to head
an advisory board of civilian
inventors for the proposed bureau of
invention and development in the navy
department was received with gratif-
cation by all naval officials. Secretary
Daniels was especially pleased, because
upon Mr.. Edison's acceptance depend
ed almost entirely the development of
the secretary's plan of utilizing the
inventive genius of the country to aid
i'll perfecting the navy as Il fighting
machine.
Secretary Daniels will ask congress
at its neXt session for Il large appro-
priation for the use of the departments
proposed civilian advisory board on in
vention and development.
Extraordinary appropriations will be
asked for also by the war department,
in which the development of inven-
tons is handled by the board of forti-
1icationS and ordnance and the bureau
of ordnance.
Among the anne suggested to Nj.

board were those of Henry Ford. the

ties on electrical engineering; Hudson

to the best that it's citizens have that
will be of tremendous benefit to us all.
There is a very great service which you
can render the navy and the country
at large and which l am encouraged
to believe you will consent to under
take, as it seems to me to be in line
with your own thoughts.
"One Of the imperative needs OF the
navy, in ny judgment, is machinery
and facilities for utilizing the natural
inventive genius of Americans to meet
the new conditions Of warfare as
shown abroad, and it is my intention,
if a practicable way can be worked
out. as l think it can be, to establish
at the earliest moment q department Of
invention and development, to which
all ideas and suggestions, either from
the service Oh from civilian inventors,
can be referred for determination as
to whether they contain practical sug-
Sestions for us to take up and perfect.
Naval officers Would Help.
"In addition, our naval officers, par
ticularly those at sea, are in a position
to note where improvements are need
ed and to devise ways in which these
improvements can be made. They
have, however, neither the time nor
the special training nor in many cases
the natural inventive turn of mind
needed to put these ideas into definite
shape. Were there a place where they
could be sent to be worked out and
perfected I an sure we would get
many noteworthy Improvements from
this ource alone.
I'VE have, of course, in the navy de-
Partment energetic and wideawake
bureaus, headed by experts in their
particular lines of work, who devote
all the time they possibly can to a
study OF this problem. They have
made important contributions to the
improvements In the implements Of
naval warfare and are doing all that
is possible with their other large
duties. There are unfortunately no
officers now detailed who can take
time from tho mass OF work which
Courier Democrat. (Langdon, N.D.) 1891-1920, 1915-08-26

they are called upon to do in order to
devote it fully to studying new sug-
gestions and inventions.
The department is also u%nprovided
With the best facilities for work Of
pure experimentation and investiga-
ton, with the exception of our testing
station at Annapolis, which is as yet
a small affair. Most of all, us l have
said. there is no particular place or
particular body Of men, relieved OF
other work, charged solely with the
duty of either devising new things
themselves or perfectins the crude
ideas that are submitted to the depart
ment by u naturally inventive people.
Il have in mind 4 general plan OF
organizing such Il department which
is still ver,.T haZy as to details, but
which in Il general way meets. so tar
as the navy is concerned. with Your
ideas of such a department for the
government in general. l want to use
such facilities for experimental work
and investigation work as we have, I'M
der the direction of men particularly
selected for ability shown in this di-
r%ection, to whom would be referred all
suggestions of new devices sent in to
the department and who would work
out such ideas to a practical point.

For our part, we will endeavor not
to bother YOU with trivial matters, us
we will probably have sufficient tacili-
ties to handle such small matters as
they come up. This is Il great deal to
ask, and l unfortunately have nothing

with the feeling of service to your
country that YOU will have to offer you
by way of recompense. Yet so clearly
have you shown your patriotism and
your unselfsh loyalty to your country's

to do this, l would like a little later,
when my plans are somewhat more
matured. to consult with you as to

posed. so that l can make it as effec-
tive as possible for the purpose in
