ent king OF England, celebrates her
seventy-third birthday anniversary
today. She was born In Copenhagen,
the eldest daughter and second child
of Prince Christian of Glucksberg, who
later became king Of Denmark. The
early life of the princess and her sis
ters was very quiet and domestic, her
fathers income being so small that
many economies had to be practiced.
1t was In 1851 that she first met the
prince of Wales. He was her first
and only suitor. Two years later their
marriage was celebrated at Windsor
and was the first ceremony there since
that of Henry / In 1122. From the
day of her marriage to the present
time no word other than good has been
said Of Queen Alexandra. Today she
is still spoken of as "the most popular
woman in England" Since the COM
mencement of the present war she has
devoted nearly the whole of her time
to relief work. presiding at the open
ing Of war bazars and paying daily

Light Weight Wheat
Seed Will Be Failure
Series Of Tests Shows That Seed Wheat
Weighing Less Than so Pounds to
Bushel Will be Failure

Lightweight seed, such as formed
by far the larger portion Of the 1916
crop, will be a complete failure if
depended upon as seed this year,
according to a series of tests con-
Quoted by the field agent of the
Grand Forks County Farm Bureau.
Ranging in weight from 4B to 81
pounds to the bushel, a total Of
70 samples were obtained and SUBJ
jected to termination tests under
identical conditions. The per cent
of termination ranged from % per
cent for the 46 pound sample to 100
per cent for the 81 pounds sample.
In between these weights, results
showed light weight wheat, in no
case warranting a dependability as
seed. The tests brought out the
fact that the per cent and strength
Of termination varied directly in
accordance with the weight, and
that seed wheat weighing so pounds
to the bushel or under will result in
absolute and bitter disappointment
to the farmer at a time when it is
imperative that North Dakota har-
vest a large crop.

Better Water

The large water tank which stood
on the top Of Proposal hill has been
taken down and placed at the foot
of the hill and will be used as a
settling tank. This will no doubt
prove beneficial to the Agency
water supply as the water is now
pumped to the reservoir on the hill
and the overflow is run into the
tank below from whence it goes in
to mains, thus giving the water a
chance to settle.
