METHODS OF SECURING SEED.

| take good-sized tubers of nearly
equal size from the bin. These are quar-
tered lengthwise and planted in adjoining
hills. When dug all are piled together.
This method has an advantage over any
other, because you can begin in the
spring and have clear proof of seed trans
mission of plant characters the same
season. This method of quartering all
seed is Objectionable after the first year
because of different strains varying
greatly in size.
Digging by hand and saving the best
hills is especially adapted to the crop
when dug by hand. Where machine
diggers are used the seed should be dug
before the crop is ripe enough to dig
without bruising by the machine, unless
late blight is known to be in the field.
In that case the seed may be dug later on
days when the ground is too sticky from
rain TO use the machine. The second
wear throw out all except those that
Weld we'll because of their Inherited
yigor. This is but slight change from
nrssent methods. As the number OF
hills worked with is limited only by the
size of the field the chance of finding the
ysry best strains is increased.
Planting a short piece of row from the
produce Of each bill or larger unit is the
most accurate method. Field methods
of cutting seed must be used, as the re-
salts are more reliable for farmers use
than where the tuber-unit method OF
quartering is used. With any strain the
pieces must be of equal average weight
or the tests are worthless. From ,ach
strain a similar amount, say one bushe
to the short row, should be saved fol
comparison. The whole Of the produce
of the best strains should be saved to
produce seed for the main field crop.
Before beginning seed selection
grower first makes sure that he has tht
typs and variety most suited to his eli
mate, soil and markets. Eastern city
markets pay the highest prices for Hat

LEMON EXTRACT
Wagner Merchant Accused of Violat-

Wagner. April 24.-The ease of v.
Vawrinck. a Wagner general mer-
chant. who al brought before the
United States court in Sioux Falls on
the charge of selling intoxicating Ii
quors. has been continued until a
future term of the federal court. The
offense consisted of selling lemon ex-
tract, which the government claimed
contained a strong percentage of al
cohol, The extract was sold from his
stock of general merchandise, but he
claims without any intent on his part
to evade the liquor laws. If there
is no repetition of the offense it is
believed the case against Vawrinck
never will be called for trial. Rather
than run the risk of repeating the
offense Vawrinck has discontinued
the sale of all extracts in his store.
