GOOD PLANTING SEED

Important To Know the Gern,inati.e
Value and Purity Content OF
Al Seed.

We are just beginning to realize
that there is a great scarcity OF good
planting seeds. Formerly much OF our
forage crop and garden seeds were
obtained abroad. War conditions now
prevent this Importation; our own
seed farms are not able to meet the
present demand, consequently a high
prfce and often time inferior seeds is
the result.
Home grown seeds save expense OF
transportation. allowing much needed
labor and time. and space required in
transit, for other purposes. In many
cases plants from home grown seed
show less susceptibility to plant dis.
eases than do foreign grown seed
They are at hand when needed
The value of a high percentage in
seed can not be over estimated. Low
percentage Of termination not only
means there are a few seeds which
terminate, but that the vitality OF
that new plant starting out to grow Ia
very low; II may not have enough
stored energy to permit to competing
with other plants, and 1t may soon
lsuccumb. Reports Of high percentage
of termination not only mean that
great numbers of seeds are viable,
but that the chances Of getting a

plants is therefore greater. A low
percentage and low or weak vitality
of sprouted seeds. and a high percen-
tase and strong vitality. go together.
Vigor IN seeds is one of the greatest
assets to insure strong plant.

BRITAIN TURNS 
 TO AMERICA IN
 SUGAR PROBLEM
May Follow United States Plan of Providing and
 Handling Sweets.

London, May 1.-QCorespondence of The Associated Press)-In a report on the sugar supply question in Great Britain, Professor George Martineau of the University of Lon don, urges the British government to learn from Germany and the United States which he describes as "the two countries which have handled the sugar question most successful .ly." Speaking of Germany's success with sugar the past decade, he says: There are two causes at the bottom of this mystery. Energy, ability, eff ciency, and more than all, persist ent research, constituted the first and best cause But this was supplement- ed by a stimulus designed to induce capitalists to risk their money in the beetroot industry.
 "It was Germany that hit upon the right kind of stimulus. It was a bril- liant idea and carried out with good judgment. The sugar duty was levied, not upon the sugar produced, but the roots. This at once stimulated the farmer to produce the richest possi- ble quality of root, and the manufac- turer to extract from the root the largest possible quantity of sugar. Great pains were taken to breed an improved variety of sugar beet.
 "This research still goes on in Ger many and it's success has been as- founding. At the beginning the sugar beet contained less than per cent of sugar. In Germany the average quantity of sugar actually extract ed has been brought up to practically IS per cent.
 "That this wonderful result was caused by the stimulus, plus of course great efficiency, is proved by the fact that poor France continued getting a 6 per cent yield until it adopted the German system, and even then never succeeded in catch ing up in the race That is the worst of being too late. In industry it is fatal" In the United States, says Professor Martineau, the industry has been so carefully fostered that the production has increased many fold 'If America had not created this great increase in production, he explains, "we should at the pres. ent moment be suffering and so would America-from a real sugar famine.
 "In 1915 the consumption of sugar in the United States amounted to the large figure of 4,250,000 tons, every ounce of which with. the purely ac- cidental exception of 23,000 tons, came from her own states, territor- ies and protectorates. This striking fact is entirely the result of giving a preference. The United States, so far as sugar is concerned, is now en- tirely independent of the outside world, and is even able to spare us a million tons whenever we are short of suplpies."

 SEEING AMI:RICA' TOUR
Native of Buenos Aires Has Covered 75,OOO Miles on Trip Thru
 United StateS.

Travelling 75,O00 miles in an auto hmobie in less than six months, dur ing which they visited nearly state in the union, is the experience of Mir. and Mrs. Leo Thompson and three children, and MT. Thompson's brother and sister-in-law. They are travelling in Hudson Super-Six, carrying a camping outfit, and have been going every day. except for couple of weeks, when one of the children was sick at Baton Rouge, La.
 The party arrived here yesterday from New Orleans, covering the dis tance from the Crescent City in two days They say that for about 20 miles south of Pine Bluff roads are good, and they also found good roads from New Orleans to Baton Rouge. The demainder of the ruote from the Louisiana capital was over very poor roads. Most of the way was thru Mississippi.
 Thompson is a native of Buenos Aires, Argentine, but has been a coppersmith at Granville. N. Y.. for years. He says they decided on the tour as a vacation trip. They have travelled thru swamp, over mountain roads, thru the desert to California, and over all kinds and condition of highways. We've never had any trouble at all with our car." he said. We've been going every day. and have covered about 75,000 miles. I've worn out several sets of tires, but the car has shown no effects of the hard going. You can see for your self how it looks. We left Crary- vile six months ago, and have been all over the country. We will re- sume our journey Monday. We nev' CT travel on Sunday"
 Thompson says they travelled from 15O to $50 miles day depending up on the roads. and have greatly en joyed the tour.
 The car was taken to the service station here of the Pine Bluff branch of the Little Rock Motor Car company, where Manager Hicks Riley's expects found it advisable to equip the Del co electric system with new platinum points. Except for needing new points. and tightening of few bolts and nuts," said MT. Riley, "the car is in as good shape as tho it had GOV cred only few hundred miles. This just shows the wearing qualities Of the Hudson Super-SiX."

Boston, June 1-Exercises have been planned for the observance Mon- day of the two hundred and eightieth anniversary of the ancient and hon. orablc artillery company of Massa- ing America's oldest and most famous military organization.
 The ancient and honorable artil-- lery company was founded more than a century tefore the revolutionary war. It. played a conspicuous part in the war for independence, in the second war with Great Britain, in the war between the States and in all perils which have affected the old Massachusetts Bay district.
 It was in 1637 that few citizens of Boston made the first endeavor to form the company. They made an application to Colonia; Governor Win throp, petitioning him for his sanction to the formation of military com pany for the protection of the Mas sachusetts Bay colony.
 Governor Winthrop refused their plea, remarking "how dangerous it might be to erect a standing authori- ty of military men. which might easily, in time, overthrow the civil power"
 After a few months, however, broader view seemed to be taken by the colonial government and the plea was renewed. It was about year later, on March 13. 1888, that the charter was granted which authorized the organization under the title of "The Military Company oi Massa- chusetts."
 Robert Keayne. a merchant tailor, who had belonged to similar organi- zation in London, was the principal factor in the institution of the com pany. During the first year of it's existence '57 recruits were admitted. Captain Keayne died in 1G53, and in his will gave $500 toward the CT ection of a market place, in which he hoped that his company would find headquarters. Two years after the death of the pioneer the company stacked it's arms in the new market house, on the site where the old

statehouse in Boston stands today. ID I'll and 1747 the company's armory suffered from the fire and found new quarters at Faneuil hall, where it still assemblies.
 During the revolutionary war so many members of the company fell in the field that only 15 were left to respond when in 17S6 Emergency of Public Affairs" called upon them to maintain law and order. The Mex .ican and civil wars also depleted the ranks fthe company.
 Through the years the little of the original "The Military Company Was sachusetts" changed to 'The Artillery Company'. Soon afterward it was called the "Honorable Artillery and in the same period sometimes term- ed the Great Artillery" In 170S the artillery sermon, an annual affair, was preached before the Honorable Artillery Company" and the sermon in 173S was preached before the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company of Boston,"
 The company has invited to it's 2Sth anniversary celebration many famous military organization. These include the Old Guard of New York, the Prov .idence Train of Artillery of Rhode Is. land. the Worcester Continentals Of Worcester, the First Company Gov ernor's Foot Guard of Hartford. the Putnam Phalanx, also of Hartford, the Richmond Blues of Richmond, Va. the Amoskeag Veterans of Manchester. N. H., and the Bristol Train of Artillery of Bristol, R. I.
 The military and naval guests are to assemble in uniform at Faneull hall at noon Monday. An hour later the company will escort Governor Mccall of Massachusetts to the Old South church. where the annual ser mon will be delivered, after which the company will march to Boston com mon for tn ceremony of commission ing the newly elected officers by Gov. ernor Mccall. The members and guests will then parade to Faneuil hall where reception will be held in the evening, followed by banquet.
