The meeting of the board of county
commissioners, which convened on
Tuesday, January End, being the
initial meeting of the board for the
new year, is confronted with an un-
usual amount of routine work in
addition to that connected with the
reorganization of the board for the
ensuing year. Louis Rose succeeds
S. G. Erickson as the commissioner
from the Fourth district, while in the
third district Commissioner R. B.

the voters of the district at the cleo
tion in November. 1t is understood
that the January meeting is likely to
remain in session during the greater
part of the coming week, owing to
the great amount of business incident
to the starting in upon the new year.

RESULT or SEED WHEAT TESTS.

With the first of the new year an
nouncement has been sent out from
the experimental station OF the North
Dakota agricultural college at Fargo
that the laboratory has since the har-
vesting and thresh;ng of the 1916
crop tested from seven to eight times
the amount of seed wheat that it has
done during any other season at this
time of the year. With the approach
of spring this department OF the ag.
ricultural college naturally therefore
expects to be swamped with samples
of seed grains to be tested. It is
urged that grain growers over the
state send their samples Of seed to be
tested now 80 that the work to be
done may be spread out over the
greatest possible amount of time. So
far as the work of testing has been
carried on many samples of wheat
have been found to be of low percent
age of termination: others have shown
above the average in termination,
but had a very weak growth. Prof.
H. L. Bolley, under whose direction
the tests are made, asks that farmers
send them their samples of seed grain
to be tested at once.

Be sure to strain the lemon juice so no pulp gets into the bottle, then this lotion will re- main pure and fresh for months. When applied daily to the face, neck, arms and hands it should help to bleach, clear, smoother and beautify the skin.
 Any druggist will supply three ounces of orchard white at very little cost and the grocer has the lemons.
