Peggy.
With an impatient exclamation.
Peggy's husband rose and left the

A little while later, over the tel

that Ed had stopped to see Tom

Ichy Sam, and that she knew they
were planning to break up the

"Oh!" cried Peggy despairingly,
at this awful news that Ed had

to CLEAN with a new hope. Sam
Ichy was much more influential of

arose between them it was always
Ichy Sam who bent his will to
Sam Ichy's. Sam Ichy would be
for her in this, as he was in ey-

Eyes a-sparkle, cheeks flushed
with this new. excitement, Peggy
now made ready to go see Sam

THE CUB SAYS
How to Inoculate Alfalfa Seed to
Produce Heavy Yield and to Rush
Fertilization of Ground Thru No
dulles. Where to Obtain Bacteria
and Pure Seed.

Farmers who are interested in Sc
curing a greater yield of alfalfa,
peas, clover or any of the legumes,
(plants having nodules or punches
on the roots) can accomplish this by
securing legume bacteria and inocu-
lating the seed before planting.
The bacteria can be bought in jel-
ly form in bottles, and can be pre-
served for several months before
using if necessary. When ready for
use it is dissolved in sweetened
water and poured over the seed,
then mixed until all the seeds are
wet with the fluid. AS soon as it
is dry it should be sown and har-
rowed in or drilled in. The plants
grow with this bacteria at the root,
and the nodules or legumes resemb-
ling peanuts in form, are the stor-
age batteries or factories for nitro
gen that is taken from the air and
placed in the soil, thus greatly in
creasing the plant growth. 1t is our
understanding that any plant having
nodules on the roots fertilizes the
soil and builds it up, but these bac-

SEED FOR 1918
(By V. P. Fawcett, state seed

(By V. P. Fawcett, state seed
analyst.)
Now is the time to select seed for
the 1918 seeding. To many, such
a word of advice may seem hurried,
but for the sake of quality and the
prevention of reoccurrence OF a
seed shortage such as experienced
this year, it is timely.
The prevailing and prospective
prices for grain and grass seed are
high, and will therefore encourage
ready sale as soon as threshed. The
yields for the United States are much
less than estimated. The demand
for grain has increased until it ex-
ceeds even the estimate. The grain
crops on many dry farms are total
failure. We must make allowances
for another severe and adverse
winter. The need for the best pos
sible seed grain obtainable Is appar-
ent. Those fields of grain that are
freest from mixtures and smut, with
good yields of good quality grain
should be saved in total for seed
instead of being milled. This field
selection and reservation would
mean much for grain improvement
and insure Idaho proper seed stock
for spring sowing.
The grass seed situation parallels
that of the grain. A large acreage
of alfalfa and clover was killed by
adverse winter conditions. Again,
the prevailing high prices for hay
caused by the shortage and the
necessity of including legume crops
in rotation, will mean that much al
falfa and clover seed must be shown
in 1918.
Representatives of large eastern
seed firms have been thru the seed
areas of the state locating the best
seed fields and contracting same for
thir respective houses. The farmer
who expects to SOW grass seed, can
well afford to select the seed from
the cleanest field in the community,
and buy it at once. The retail price
next spring will be higher than the
prevailing prices of this season.
Seed growers can. greatly improve
the quality of seed produced, and, in
consequence, increase it's value by
wedding, from the growing fields,
those weeds that will condemn the
seed for sale in Idaho. The noxious
weeds most commonly distributed
are buckhorn, all kinds of dodder
and mustard. If certain areas of
the field contain these weeds, it is a
good plan to cut and thresh these

Hardware Dealer Pleads for Unity
and Cooperation in Producing and
Marketing. Urges Farmers to
Raise Sugar Beets and Urges Mer-
chants to Furnish Better Service
to Public.
w. w. Hays, the president and
manager of the Sterling Hardware
company, at Sterling, when asked
what was most needed in the Ster-
ling country mentioned unity of ac-
ton; concefted effort by all the peo-
pie of the community working to-
ward a common object; cooperation
that would make each mans efforts
have some value not alone for him
self but for his neighbor. Co-opera-
ton of farmer with merchant and
merchant with farmer; cooperation
of one stockman with another; more
of confidence between them and less
of distrust; a mutual study OF mar
ket problems and of buying prob

For example, if men are going to
raise hogs, and they live in the same
community, raise their hogs on the
same kind of feed and sell in the
same markets, why not plan together
so that the pigs shall be of the same

ready for market at the same time
so they can be sold and shipped to-

MIGHT HAPPEN TO YOU

Joseph H. Owen is dead. He was
one of the earlier residents of Bing-
ham county, and he has been in his
grave these Is years After his
death it was necessary to probate
was published in a BlackfoOt news
paper, The Bingham County Demo-
crat. 1t was the duty of the pub
Usher to furnish a proof that the
publication was made, and to attach
to the affidavit, clipping taken from
the newspaper, showing just what
was said in the notice.
If this was done the document
was lost, and in 1917 it became
necessary for Ovens heirs to exhibit
that particular affidavit or they
would suffer loss in business mat
ters. The publisher had closed up
his affairs and left the country, and
the attorney handling the Owen case
reasoned that if the notice had been
published in The Idaho Republican
it would be easy to get duplicate
proof because of their system of
keeping duplicate and triplicate files
for just such emergencies. But the
notice in question was published be-
fore The Idaho Republican was in
existence, and there seemed no
chance that it could render any aid
in the matter, yet the attorney wrote
to the editor of The Republican and
told the names, and dates Of publ
cation, ad asked for suggestions as
to how to get the needed proof.
When the editor of The Republi-
can got the letter in hand he walked
down into the basement where there
is storage vault, and in ten min
utes he had five copies of the old
newspaper containing the identical
notice concerning the estate of
Joseph H. Owen deceased. In an
been made and attached to the regu-
lar form for making such proofs,
the acknowledgment was made be-
fore a notary and the document
mailed to the attorney for the heirs.
When you have legal notice to
publish, see that it Is published by
newspaper that takes all the steps
necessary to protect you and your
heirs. and then in addition to that,
does it all in duplicate and places
the proof in fire-proof vault so you
or your heirs can send for it in 25
or SO years and get it without delay
or expense. Your title to property
of some kind may be clouded by
some defect in the publication or
proof of notice of ditch assessment,
notice of school meeting or sale of
school bonds, notice in bankruptcy,
notice of meeting of creditors, sale
Of real estate, a summons, sheriff's
sale, land notice, estray notice, fore
closure notice, notice of petition of
any kind, tax notice, a city ordin-
ance or any kind of court notice.
When you are deciding what paper
to have your notices published in,
remember the special service and
protection provided by The Idaho
Republican. tt.

terra do not do we'll in soils possess
ing acids, tho they combine we'll with
lime in the soil. The jelly, or cul-
lures cost about 25 cents per acre
for alfalfa seed, and it is desirable
to have some of our dry farmers
try it on seed sown early next spring
on the desert. Ground for it should
be prepared this fall, and the Cub
recommends a small tract plowed as
deep as possible and left rough till
spring, then narrowed and kept in
the best condition possible, not al
lowing it to waste any moisture from
belated narrowing after the snow
goes off.
The cultures can be obtained by
mail from the Edwards Laboratories
at Lansing, Michigan. Pure Grimm
alfalfa seed can be obtained from
A. ]. Snyder, H. K. Wiley or E. N.
Wells, Springfield, Idaho; G. A. Line
or D. A. Wiltamuth, Sterling; or P.
A. Fugate, of Aberdeen. For this
test it is important that the best
seed be used, and Grimm alfalfa has
a better root system for withstand
ing drought than has the common
alfalfa. It's crowns grow lower in
the soil and are not so much exposed
to the elements in winter. Frequent
freezing and thawing affects the
Grimm alfalfa less because the
crowns are deeper; the roots branch
out more and heaving of the ground
by freezing does not break them so
readily as the common alfalfa which
has a tap root. When the tap root
is broken by heaving of the soil, the
plant dies.

to our hardware business and an
indirect help to farmers thru the
county by reason of this: When
some of the hardware men wanted
to buy mixed grass seeds to make
the most perfect pasture possible,
pasture that will be good all thru
the season, went to Superintendent
Aicher for formula that would be
right for this valley and its local
conditions of soil, climate and mois-
ture and l knew I had the best that
was known and we could afford to
invest money for big stock of it
and farmers could afford to invest
money, time and culture in it. Own
ers of pastures might not know it
but they are the beneficiaries of the
station in this matter and so are we,
for when we sell good mixture and
the customer is pleased he comes to
us again with his smiles and his
orders.
Aberdeen is grateful to the busi-
ness men of other towns, who put
up their good money to help us to
secure the station and to help us
in our fair when we held it. We
are indebted to the whole county
for the help they gave us in direct
appropriations from the county
treasury and whenever you publish
