SEEDING NOW
IN FULL BLAST
sTHE RED RIVER VALLEY FARM
ERS ARE VERY BUSY NOW
PLANTING GOLDEN GRAIN

Seeding operations are now in full
progress all over the valley. The
snow disappeared rapidly and spring
came almost before we were aware of
it. In few days the fields were dry
and in good condition to receive the
seed. If the work is not interrupted
~ rain most Of the wheat will be in
{ the ground by the end of next week,
and in another week the oats and
barley will have been seeded. A dry
spring will enable the farmers to put
in the crop in good shape and make
certain also that every available acre
will be seeded. If then the May and
June rains do not fail us, the pros
poets are bright for bountiful har-
vest. May the fields this year rich
ly reward the Industrious farmers for
their toll. The outlook thus far,
both as regards crop and prices, is
excellent.

Good Seed Bed for a Good Crop.

-,
A somewhat late spring offers a
strong temptation to put in crops
with very little attention to the pre-
paration of the seed bed. Nothing is
gained by putting the seed in before
the seed bed is dry enough to be
worked up well, says A. c. Army,
Assistant Agriculturist, University
Farm, st. Paul. Most soils, if work
ed when they are wet, puddle and af-
terwards bake. Seeds in hard-baked
soil grow with difficulty. While it is
important to have the wheat and oats
in the ground early, it pays to pre-
pare for them, with the disk or spring
tooth and smoothing harrow, a good
seed bed. This is especially true
when clover and timothy are sown
with the grain. A good stand Of
clover and timothy is usually secured
on corn land that has not been plowed
but has been carefully disked in pre-
paration for the grain crop.
It pays to disk or at least harrow
early in April the ground that is to be
planted to corn. This allows the
ground to warm up more quickly than
it would if left undisturbed. The re-
suit is clean, well-prepared seed bed
for the corn At no time can corn be
cultivated better or more cheaply
than in April and early May before it
is planted. For a fuller discussion
of tillage, see Extension Bulletin No.

Business Farmer Tests His Seed.


The business farmer Of today tests
his seed grain. In farming, as in
every other business, elements OF
chance are being removed as fully as
possible.
After a farmer has selected his
seed grain by the use of the tanning
mill, he should make tests for purity
and termination. If he is not pre-
pared to do this, he should communi-
cate with the Minnesota Seed Labor
atory, University Farm, st. Paul.
The only safe thing is to remove
elements Of chance by selecting good
seed, and by testing for purity and
terminating power.

Diseases of Seed Potatoes and Their
Control.

There are three quite common dis
eases Of seed potatoes two of which
are very destructive in their effects
upon the succeeding crop. These dis
eases are the "stem blight" or Gus
ariun wilt" the "Little Potato Dis
ease'' or "Rhizoctonia,' and potato
!, scab.
! These diseases live over in the soil
! from year to year and land once in
tested should be devoted to crops
other than root crops for at least
three years. When clean ground is
used each year, the diseases are per-
petuated by using diseased seed or
by sound seed which has come in con-
tact with diseased seed in the bin, wa
gons or sacks.
Seed potatoes. infected with the
"stem blight" are easily recognized
by cutting off thin slice Of the stem
end of the tuber. If the disease is
present brown discolorations are seen
in the flesh in the vascular. ring just
beneath the skin. While all brown
markings may not be caused from
this disease yet if "dry rot' is asso-
ciated with it one can be reasonably
sure of the infection. The use of the
clean seed plot together with the
treating of seed is the only practical
method of eradication.
The "little potato disease" or
!, Rhizoctonia, can be identified on the
Aseed Stock as it appears as tiny corky
black specks on the skin, resembling
very much the black rust as seen on
the wheat. The disease lives over in
the soil and in the skin Of potatoes
from newly infected hills, hence the
disease is easily controlled by treat
ing with corrosive sublimate.
In treating seed potatoes for scab
and the other diseases, the corrosive
sublimate solution is best. 1t is made
by using one ounce Of corrosive sub
Innate to every ten gallons of water
The sublimate should be put in solu-
ton in wooden vessel (never use
metal for it acts on metaD. By dis
ssolving it in few gallons of hot wa
ter it is easily diluted to the required
strength.
The solution is very poisonous SO
every precaution must be taken to
prevent stock from drinking it or eat
ing treated seed.
One very simple way to treat seed
potatoes is to get a tank large
enough for Is or 100 gallons Of solu-
tion and then treat 10 bushels at one
time. The seed should be soaked two
hours, then cut and planted, and by
= arranging patches Of 10 bushels while
another is being treated the man car
be cutting one lot. Treating then
Z should not cost more than 1 1-2c pei
bushel or more than 20c per acre, al
outlay which is returned many fold.

The Oldest Settler.

The sheaf has received quite a few
communications from old settlers who
state the time of their arrival in the
county. Some relate also interesting
renlinisc scenses from the early days.
We reproduce here a few letters and
statements hoping that these may stir
up many more from the fading line Of
pioneers. What we want to get at,
is the name of that settler who has
lived in the county the greatest
length4of time.
Adolph Elden Of Alvarado, writes:
= came to Marshall Co., the 5th of
May, 1879. At that time Warren
was called Farley. I have lived here
36 years and have never been else
where since. I will send you letter
about the early pioneer days in few
days." <.
Andrews Anderson, of Warrenton,
states that he came to Marshall coun-
ty on April Is, 1881, and has lived
here ever since.
Peter Dalquist, of Warren, states
that he and his brother Eli filed on
|homesteads in town of Warrenton, on
Feb. 8, 1879, and that he moved onto
the land on May %, 1879.
Alfred Willer, of Foldahl, says that
he came to Marshall county with his
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Martin Willer,
in the fall Of 1880, when he was four
years old and that he has lived here
ever since.
S. Frank Rutz, tells us that he came
to 5toy.s,s of Comstock in Marshall
county 81 ss,vs,o years before the railroad
came and assthe railroad was built
thru Warren in 1878, Mr.. Rutz must
have arrived in the county in 1876,
the exact date being April 4, in that
year.
