SEED IN THE MAKING.
When tho Grain Is Field Dry 1t Should
Be Stacked and T-hrashed.

llrcparcd by Minnesota station.l
INC very best time TO get good seed
IS when it is in the making. Good
seed IS like good live Stock-bcst whom
IL comes of good ancestry and is pro-
dnccd under favorable conditions. So
IL IS that some parts Of the fields are
better than others Tor the production
OF mature, we'll tilcu. sound seed
while other parts will produce less
valuable product. Looking over the
various parts OF the field before cut
t1ng, one may select the parts Of the
crop to be handled separately for tho
next years seed supply. No extra
work or "fussing' will be necessary
before cutting. The field may be cut
as whole and shocked, but extra care
Is necessary in setting up shocks in the
seed part of the field. A twelve
bundle shock with two cap shcavcs
will withstand unfavorablc weather
and protect the grain
AS soon as the grain is field dry It
should he stacked and thrashcd. The
seed grain should be put in separate
stack, and the cap shcaves should not
be allowed in with the other parts Of
the shocks. They may go in with the
Feed Or sale grain When thrashcd the
seed grain should be stored separate
from other grain. thus keeping 1t un.
mixed When thus kept separate from
field to lin it will be ready at any time
FOR the last nnalysis-thc tanning mill
before sowing.
1t is not an easy matter always TO
judge the increased profit that comes
from saving seed grain in this manner.

OMAHA MAY FACE
A POTATO FAMINE
Only One Commission Man in
City Has Stored Away Win
ter Supply of Tubers.
FARMERS ARE HOLDING OUT

Omaha may face potato famine
this winter. A canvass OF the COM
mission men who have been in the
habit OF storing thousands OF bushels
discloses the fact that only one has
laid away a supply of the tubers. That
potatoes row costing the housewife
about 50 cents a peck will jump to
rs cents is the opinion Of the COM
mission men. The tubers are now
wholesaling for Sl.75 per bushel and
are extremely hard to get.
Both the wholesaler and the COM
mission men agree that the high price
of potatoes has made it impossible to
put away any Of the tubers. Only one
commission man in the city has put
up any amount OF this essential veg
etable. In former years the commits
sion men and brokers stored thous-
ands OF bushels and held them for
the winter months when the prices
were up.
That the farmers have plenty of
potatoes is the general opinion among
the commission men, but they assert
the farmer is holding his supply in
order to obtain higher prices. Another
reason they give for the scarcity is
that it is extremely hard to get cars
for the transportation OF the "spuds.'
