Seed Laboratory
The Pure Seed Laboratory was es-
tablished for the purpose of aiding
farmers to understand these matters
and to help them to recognize seec
qualities. Citizens can send samples
of their seed to the Pure Seed Lab,
oratory and receive immediate report
as to its quality, purity and viability
without cost. The Botanist is auth
orized to certify to che quality of seec
|! and to make lists of those who have
seed Of high quality. Such lists are
sent to any who wish to buy, whether
seedmen or farmers. r
In order that these lists may ,pe
made out at as early a date as pos.
sible, samples should be sent to the
Pure Seed Laboratory as soon as; pos.
siible after threshing. All who can
should grade the seed carefully be-
fore sending the samples to tie LAZY
oratory. WlleT not able to clean the
seed let us know. Remember that
seed quality is Of more value than
mere freedom from weed seeds. Some
samples of seed can be greatly i'm
proved by the use of tanning mill,
while no amount of grading a i'm.
prove certain internally diseased
types. For this reason, it is recon
mended that every farmer have a seec
plot big enough to raise seed for his
own farm, from which plot all false !
varieties ana diseased plants may oe
pulled out.
Suffers from Blight
The wheat crop, in particular, SUI

the use Of poor grades Of seed. Wheat
Is the most important Of all the SEEDS

TEACHERS MEETING A SUCCESS

Although stormy weather and bad
roads prevented a large number of
teachers being present last Satur-
day at the Teachers Meeting and
Study Center, the meeting, by those
present was pronounced a success.
Prof. Irving Hart from the State
Teachers College was present and
in the morning session spent most
OF the time in explanation of Aims
and Methods in the new Course of
Study and Manual of Methods for
the Elementary Schools of Iowa. :"
The afternoon session was devoted
largely to reading. Much time was
spent on the discussion of "How Can
We Procure More Than One Reader
For Each Grade" or in other words,
How shall we get Supplementary
Readers for the Rural Pupils?" We
learned from this discussion this was
the great crying need of the country
schools. The teachers voted Prof.
Hart "just fine" and another lust
fine" was extended to the State
Teachers College of Cedar Falls for
making it possible for them to en-
Joy the privilege of this meeting or
Study Center.

ance and have as their guests the
Newspaper men and Editors, the
Bankers and Postmasters of Western

it.
A number of new beauties have
been added to the all star chorus and
If single visitor gets back to home
and mother, without having his
heart strings jolted, his family can
trust him anywhere.
New songs and dances will be in
troduced and an Editors quartette
is being planned whose performance
will be worth going miles to see And
it must be seen rather than heard to
be appreciated. The knights urge
every man who reads this article to
be present. You don't need amin
wilton. Just clip out this article and
present it at the door. 1t will admit
you and all your friends.
A special initiation is being pre-
pared TOR the Editors, Bankers and
Postmasters. The management feels
the old initiation would not do JUS
tice to their guests, but whoever
takes the one in preparation will be
furnished a written guarantee that
he is more than satisfied. Don't ov-
erlook the date and come early and
get a high seat.
