Seed Growers for Gener- ,
al Information. IS

FQargo.l N. D., Nov. 23.-The work.
|ers In the North Dakota Pure Seed
laboratory at the Agricultural college
wish to be useful to the farmers and
seedmen Of the state. They hope to
be able to aid in improving the crop
of 1918 by means of giving accurate
reports upon the quality of seed that
Is likely to be used upon the land. The
pure seed laboratory, was established
fors the purpose of giving the citizens
Of the state an opportunity to learn
quite exactly as to the quality Of the
seed offered for sale and distribution
for sowing purposes. 1t was also so
planned as to aid those who are
fortunate or careful enough to raise
good .setd to get in touch with those
who want to make Sc Of such seed
The. state seed commissioner is in
structed to make a list of all who
have grown good seed of any sort.
This list shows the mount Of seed
that they have on hand for sale and
is sent to anybody inquirinE for such
seed. This should help to get a bet
ter quality of seed used or the lands
of the state, but the laboratory cam
not do much. without the cooperation
of the growers and users of seed.
Those who have seed At for use as
seed Tor sowing purposes. should send
in Samples as early as possible. Those
who are thinking of buying should
submit the samples that they expect
to buy, as soon as possible, SO that
the workers in the laboratory may be
kept busy turnout the entire season
rather than just a few days before
sowing time, Send your samples in
now 80 that they can build the list
and send it t6 those who want to buy
seed before it is too late to help. There
are literally hundreds Of people writ
ing to know where they can procure
good seed. Do not send unclean grain.
There is no more patriotic duty that
a farmer can do now than to let his
neighbors know that he has some
good, high-class. viable seed for sale.
There will be a particularly large de-
mand next year for North Dakota
corn, clover, alfalfa seed, ETC., for
potatoes, for millet, and various other
miscellaneous seeds besides the cere-
ais, wheat, barley and the various
forage plants.

A number Of senior frolics have
been in order during the past month,
probably the most delightful party
being the one at which Miss Evalyn
Yedica was hostess to her fellow grad
yates on Saturday evening. The liv-
ing rooms were beautifully decorated
in the class colors, red and white,
great masses Of red and white tulips
being used in carrying out the effect
while the place cards followed the
prevailing patriotic trend and were
small silk flags. Each guest received
a red and white carnation as favor.
Games and music were enjoyed for q
short time after which a trip was
made to Kennewick to attend the pic
ture show, the young folks being the
guests Of Mr. s.Yedica and Miss Laura
Hartho. After the show Prof. G. 81.
Lille entertained the entire party at
luncheon. Needless TO say all who
were invited will long remember the
pleasant evening.

The engagement Of Miss Myrtle
Penn, for the past year principal Of
the grade school, to James Willard,
newspaper man Of Kittitas, has been
announced, the wedding to take place
within few days. Immediately after
the cermony the young people will
leave for North Dakota where Mr.. Will
lard intends to start in the newspaper
business. The best wishes Of host Of
friends in Richland will follow them
to their home in the east.
Heretofore the farmer who had the
major portion of his acreage planted
to alfalfa felt that he had in little
on his brother who was in the straight
orchard business inasmuch as alfalfa
was not heir to the thousand and one
bugs and worms which had to be
sprayed for every year and also, the
juicy plant didn't have to be pruned.
However, now comes advice that a
cut worm of very small size has de-
cided to play havoc with the alfalfa
fields of the valley and reports from
the neighborhool of North Yakima
tell of considerable damage from the
nuisances. Richland has not been
bothered much to date, altho there are
small patches in the fields of several
ranchers affected, among them Carl
Willis and John Leblanck, but the
State College and County Agricultur-
alist Lee Lampson are hard at work
trying to deduce some means of pre-
venting the spread of the disease or
pest and probably this will be found
before any actual damage is done to
the fields in and around Richland. It
seems that this worm, which is about
1-16 of an inch in length, attacks the
roots of the plant, causing it to dry
up and die, giving the appearance Of
having been winter killed. So far
little damage has been done around
Richland, but preventative measures
must be taken before the pest spreads.

Muncey boys are hustlers and under
their direction the outlook for the fu-
ture Of the transfer business in Rich
land is very bright.

cal church has decided to again sup

Rev. w. L. Almendinger, of Latah,
will arrive in Richland within a week,
accompanied by his family to make his
home and occupy the pulpit of the
church. He has rented the house Just
vacated by the J. S. Wheeler family
in town.
Sunday evening Rev. C. E. Miller,
of Kennewick, delivered the baccalau-
reate address to the class Of 1917 Of
the Richland high school at the Rich
land Methodist church. The seniors
were seated in a body near the altar
which was beautifully decorted with
red and white tulips to symbolic the
class colors. The church was packed
with friends and relatives Of the
young people who are about to enter
another phase of life's journey and the
able address of Rev Miller was lis
tened to with a great deal Of interest
by the large congregation.
Word has been received by relatives
from Richards patriots who enlisted
in the Navy and they seem to be hav-
ing pretty good time to date. The
boys all gathered for a little stag
party in Jack Martins room in Brem-

and tell them all about it. Clarence
