1t is dangerous for a man to be
found in Seattle with money in his
pocket. A few days ago Charles M.
Gallagher, stranger in the city,
asked the clerk of local hotel to
cash him a one thousand dollar
bill. Instead of complying with the
request the clerk telephoned for a
policeman and Gallagher was arrest
ed and taken to police headquarters
where search of his person show
ed that he had several large bills in
his possession. He explained to the
satisfaction of the officers how he
came in possession of them and was
released. When you come to Seattle
leave your money at home.

WINTER SEED WHEAT
SCARCE IN SOME DISTRICTS

The unfavorable conditions for
fall planting during the past two
years together with winter killing
last year has practically eliminated
winter wheat in some districts of
the state. In such places seed of
winter wheat will have to be brot
in from the outside.
Seeding of winter wheat is de-
pendent upon the two factors,-fav-
orable weather conditions, and a.
vailibility of good seed. If there is
insufficient rain at a seasonable
time to insure proper termination
many growers will defer seeding un-
til spring and use a spring variety.
However, unless they obtain winter
seed wheat and make preparations
for fall planting they will not be
dD1C " Idll pldlll cNcll tllOuEll Wedtl-
er conditions are favorable. The
growers should not lose sight of the
fact that winter wheat is generally
superior to spring wheat when
grown under favorable conditions.
A seed committee has recently
been named for Washington and is
already supplying information con-
corning winter seed wheat. Inquir-
les concerning this question may be
addressed to the secretary of the
seed committee, Pullman, Washing
ton. The information is obtained
largely from grain companies as
thru their local warehouse men and
buyers they are in a position to
know the seed demands, and sur
plus grain that may be used for
seed.
