Of INTEREST TO FARMERS
Poor or Pure Seed for Idaho is Dues
ton Raised.

No one can realize the enormity or
the possibilities of the seed produc-
ing industry in this section Of the
state, until he has visited the seed
producing areas Especially adapted
soils and climatic conditions, with
moisture under control are the factors
that contribute to its success. The
large acreage devoted to this one in
dustry indicates that the grower re-
Allies profit from the clover seed.
However, it is evident that the ma
jority of growers do not realize the
importance Of controlling the weeds
before they make alsike clover seed
production impossible Field after

Jim Hill or tumbling mustard.
This plant as well as other weeds,
increases the cost of every operation
in caring for the seed crop. It re-
Quires more water to mature the seed
crop; the draft in cutting is increas-
ed; 1t costs the same to hull a bushel
OF mustard seed that It does to hull
q bushel of alsike seed; and the pres

large shrinkage when the seed is
cleaned Each Of the above may be
small items when considered separ-

A Few Hints.
Before seeding land to clover seed
see that it is in good condition and
practically free from weeds.
Sow clean seed.
Keep the weeds from maturing SEED
by pulling them from the field before
the crop is cut. The first crop of al
sike seed is fairly clean in many in
stances. The second year the clover
field is foul with mustard because thu
mustard plants of the first year wer'
allowed to mature and scatter seed

to fall to the ground and terminate

mind that there is much deception

While it is possible that the cattle

some time of the existence of this

ported that he had not been albeit to
