Government Warns Farmers
Regarding Wheat for Seed

In order to insure themselves a sup
ply Of good seed grain for sowing
next spring, farmers are advised by
the United States department of agrl'
culture to bear in mind the following
information in regard to the seed SIT
uation:
The wheat of the 1916 crop in
the spring-wheat states OF the
upper Mississippi valley was bad
ly injured by rust and other
diseases. Not only was the
yield much reduced, but the quality of
the grain was generally very poor.
Much of the grain is light in weight,
shrunken and doubtless contains many
diseased kernels. Such grain is not
good for seed purposes. Although
plants may be produced from such
seed, they are not likely to be vigor-
GUS, and many of them may be dis
eased, and these diseases will either
cause their death before maturity or
be spread to other plants, or both.
1t is advisable, therefore, for far
mers in this region to make sure
promptly of sufficient supply of good
plump seed of adapted varieties, which
will grow when sown. If plump,
healthy seed cannot be obtained, the
seed that is available should be care
fully screened and famed to remove
all those grains that are not good for
sowing. In on case should the present
high price tempt the farmer to part
with his good seed wheat and cause
him to rely upon shrunken and dis.
eased seed for sowing. Such course
is likely to result in disaster to next
years crop.
The barley crop for the past season
in the United States was, for the most
part, of very good quality and no I'M
usual methods or precautions need be
taken in seeding the 1917 crop, except
in parts of the northern Mississippi
valley. In this region the early arri-
cal of extremely hot weather caused a
decided shrinking in most of the crop
and for this region the bushel weight
is very light. The termination of the
lighter kernels is likely to be low and
the barley should be we'll famed be-
fore seeding, only the plumpest grain
being used.

Barnes County to the Front
in Acre Yield Corn Contest

In the boys acre yield state corn
contest held in 1916, Barnes county
stood we'll to the front. The state is
divided into two sections, the northern
and the southern. Barnes county Is
put in the southern section.
OF the boys who won the first IL
highest yields in the southern section
five lived in Barnes county. The
names of these boys, their rank and
their yields are given below:
/. William Velure, Hastings, 81 bu.
SIS.
z. Geo. NJ. Eggers, Page, 661z bu.
$25.
8. Otto Grain, Wimbledon, 6o%
bu, SIS.
6. Henry Eggers, Page, 5714 bu.
$40.
IA. Paul Torgerson, Fipgal, ASK
bu., IS.
The average yield of these winners
is 59.6 bushels of mature shelled corr
per acre. That this is splendid show
ing for these boys in a year like last
year goes without saying. In TACT the
spring was so unpromising for corr
that many farmers sowed other crops
where they expected to plant corn
Others either plowed up the corn OF
allowed the weeds to take it on &C
count Of the excessive amounts Of
water. Yet these boys stayed in the
game and were able to procure very
large yields. as shown above.
These yields were made possible by
careful preparation of the soil. the
planting of good, tested, homegrown
seed and careful cultivation.
One thing very noticeable in these
fields where good yields were produc
ed, was the fact that the stand was
very good. For example, on William
Velure's acre there were only Is hills
missing fro mthe acre. This is re
markable stand when one remembers
that there are 1856 hills to the acre
This acre was planted by corn grown
and picked for seed on the farm the
year previous. There were several
other boys in the county who produc
ed better than 40 bushels of mature
corn.
Corn proved valuable crop this
year where it was we'll cared for.

Dar~in's Belief Was That Domestls
CanineG Represent Several Races
Of the Wild Animal.

In 1.-THE Origin of the Species" OAR
win expressed the opinion that the dog
was originally descended from the
wolf lie was inclined TO think that
In different parts of the globe man
/ had tanned the particular species Of
wolf which would be found there, and
that our domestic dogs. therefore, rep
resent not one but several races OF the
Wild animal. writes r. b. Townshend
In the Westminster Gazette. II has
long been known that dog and wolf
will intcrbreed freely. Button, fer
example, tells us that he made such
cross successfully. Indeed. In Rus
sia the Tsars long kept up a fierce
pack OF hounds for wolf hunting In
which a strong strain OF wolf was
evident. Unfortunately. few years
ago the little daughter of huntsman,
crossing their Kennel alone. stumbled
and fell. and the savage brutes set
upon her and deyoured her on the
spot. The indignant tsar had the
whole pack destroyed.
Even In England the cross with the
wolf has been resorted 20 for otter
hounds In order to increase the cdur-
age and strength Of jaw Of the dogs.
But as the first cross proved rather
too wild and uncertain In temper for
safe handling. the masters Of otter
hounds have always crossed back
again and agnln TO the dog TIL there
remained perhaps only one sixty
fourth Of wolf blood. or even less.
This fact establishes the fertility of
the hybrid between the wolf and the
dog when bred back. to ono Of the
original parents, bu. so far there has
been no evidence TO show how far the
hybrids would be fertile when bred
together continuously. Recently, how
ever, in the present century. this has
been tested by Or. Alaric Benin Of
the Stockholm geological gardens.
who has given brief account OF the
results obtained by him.

WHY NEGROES ARE RELIGIOUS

or Taught by Msetcrs.

The negro sought a channel for
artistic soince. into which he could
throw the symbolism OF his racial long
hog. he found it In the religion
brought TO him by missionaries or
taught him by his mnsters. Hero
he was free TO dream his dreams
md create his visions OF future happi-
ness. for no master could punish him
for praising God. Thus he found re-
lgion," and in religion he founn no
mood of his simple soul unnourished.
II tx, then. not so hard to under
stand why tho regro's folksong is, in
It's superficial form. so predominantly
religious. The "spirituals' OF the camp

In fact, co-extensive with the emotion
al range of simplc peasant life. They
include lively dances. bitter lnments,
paeans Of JOY and majestic, organlike
anthems. In the Bible stories which
are retold In ballad form in some OF
the spiritials the negro found express
Hion for his buoyant, genial humor.
Nearly all the familiar moods of folk
song. from the sayest to the most pro-
foundly tragic, are to be found under
the religious veil which permitted the
slave to live his own varied emotional
life without interference from his mas
