GOOD GARDEN SEED FAVORED
Essential in Successful Gardening
Best Way Is to Patronize Some
Reliable House.

Good garden seed is an essential In
successful gardening. If we are going
10 plant something, we want it to
grow. The worst thing possible Is to
plant seed that won't terminate, and
it is almost as bad to find that the
seed which has been planted is untrue
to name.
In order-to avoid all annoyance it Is
best to secure good seed. When buying
garden seed demand that it be fresh ;
likewise insist that it be true to name.
The easiest way of avoiding poor seed
is to purchase the product of some re-
liable house.

only just way for both seller and pur-
chaser. AS things are now, one man
may buy carton of eggs, very good,
but very small. while another may
buy a carton of fine big eggs. Yet
both will pay the same price. 1t Is
not fair. The only fair and just
method is to buy and sell them by
weight"

USED IN DETECTING D0DDER
Hand Lens Is Useful instrument to
Ascertain Presence OF Weed
Seeds in Alfalfa.

The hand lens will be found very
useful in detecting dodder and other
weed seeds in alfalfa seed. The gen.
eral quality of unadulterated seed can
be estimated on the basis of color.
Fresh seed is light olive green and
gives a bright glossy surface when
rubbed with the hand. Alfalfa seed
which is of any shade of brown is ques-
tionable. One should not purchase seed
when the sample contains any consid-
cradle percentage that is discolored.

PROPER EGGS FOR MATCHING

GROUNDED WIRE FOR FENCES
Dancer of Death to Farm Animals
From Lightning May Be Avoided
With Little Work.

All danger of death to farm animals
coming in contact with fence wires
heavily charged may be avoided by at
taching a wire to the strands of the
fence every two or three hundred feet,
running one end of it into the ground
about four feet deep.
This will afford an outlet for the

GREAT NEED OF FOOD
NO DANGER OF OVERPRODUc-
TON THIS YEAR-DEAN
MUMFORD.
Any Surplus Which American Farmers
Can Produce VIII Be Quickly Abb
sorbed by Hungry People of
ENGLAND and France.

While the farmer Is being urged to
greater and greater production, he
naturally considers the possibility of
overproductiOn. Many farmers In
the state have advanced this question.
According to Dean F. b. Mumford in
the Missouri College of Agriculture,
overproduction Is exceedingly improb-
able this year. 1t has been agreed that
this country's part in the war Will be
largely to supply food. our 1000
resources have been depleted by ship
ments to Europe and by several poor
crop years." said Dean Mumford re-
Gently. "and now with unrestricted ex-
port to the allies, the small reserve
which we have will be further de-
creased Any surplus which the
American farmers can produce Will be
quickly absorbed at wartime prices.
Millions Of people in England, France
and other countries at war with the
German powers are in need OF tood.
They must have food not only for
their civilian population but for their
armies. They are too busy fighting 10
provide that food themselves. 1t then
behooves the United States to supply
food.
But it is not alone for the allies
that we must produce maximum crops
If we should have poor crop year
throughout the country, our own peo-
pie may actually suffer.
"If Germany is able to continue the
ruthless submarine warfare unhln-
dered, some food will be lost on it's
way to Europe Consequently the
losses will tend toward further short
age and to absorb any surplus even II
there were danger Of Overproduct1on.
What would happen # peace should
come within the next few weeks!
Would not the markets be glutted!
In answer to these questions, Dean
Mumford said: ut Is doubtful IL
there will be a great decrease IN the
demand for food Immediately following
the war. With commerce restored,
every nation which is now at war
will become a market place for Amer
lean farm produce. Those countries
have no food reserve left and they
will turn to the United States to fur
nish food during reconstruction. ana
until they can feed themselves"
AS an example of the actual scarcity
of food in America, Dean Mumford
cites the condition Of wheat: SIN 1918
the United States produced 10 BUSH
els of wheat per capita; in 1916 we
produced 6 bushels per capita, but
used 6 1-3 bushels for seed and ordl-
nary consumption and exported IN
bushels per capita. The present condl-
ton of wheat in the United States Is
63 per cent of normal crop. This
Is % per cent below the average for
the last ten years. The condition IN
Missouri is even wOrse-59 as com
pared with the 15-year average of 90
per cent. The latest reports are that
the world crop of wheat Is far below
