Washington. June 14.-The broad and scientific manner in which Aus trala is meeting the problem of re- patriating the men who are fighting in Europe for the liberties of the com monwealth was described in official dispatches recently to the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce. Much interest was aroused by the dis patches as foresha flowing what the United States must do when the tide of wounded and incapacitated men begins to flow westward to this coun- try.
 Two principles were enunCiated in the formulation of the Australian system of repatriation: First, that the true purpose of repatriation is to se- cure the re- establishment of returned soldiers in the industrial life of the community to the fullest extent that

SEED DEALERS TO FURNISH
INFORMATION WITH PRODUCT

According to plan agreed upon by
representatives Of the seed trade and
representatives of the United States
Department of Agriculture in confer
cnces last year, seed dealers will pro-
VIDE the following information with
all lots of 10 pounds or over of field
crop seed which they sell:
|. Name of scotsman.
2. Kind Of seed.
3. Proportion of pure live seed pres
eent, with month and year Of germina-
ton test.
d. Country or locality of origin in
the case of the following imported
seeds: Beans, soy beans, Turkestan
alfalfa, and red Glover from southern
Europe and Chile.
Since the seed trade conferences,
practically all the larger seedsmen
have Individually agreed to conduct
their business in accordance with
these suggestions.

CLEAN SEED BEFORE SOWING

Cleaning and grading the small
grains for spring sowing should be
done before the spring rush in pre-
pairing the land and sowing the seed
Wheat, oats, barley and flax can be
improved for seeding by running the
seed through the tanning mill at least
once. The cleaned grain will run
through the drill or other seeding
machinery more evenly and thus in
sure. more uniform stand than can
be obtained from uncleaned grain.
Cleaning grain removes most of the
weak and diseased kernels, many of
which may not grow at all, or if thcy
DO grow are likely to produce small,
weak plants. Uniformly large, plump
kernels germinate more evenly, pro-
duce stronger plants, and yield more
than ungraded grain containing small,
shrunken kernels.
Thorough cleaning also removes a
large part of the weed seeds the grain
contains: The preparation of the land
for seeding destroys many seeds that
are in the ground and thus helps to
keep weeds in check, but the value of
this work is largely lost if foul seed
is sown.
Although the small grain of the
1917 crop, except in North Dakota
and Montana, is mostly of excellent
quality for seed, yet it is we'll worth
while to run this grain through the
tanning mill at least once. No avoid
able chances should be taken in SOW
ing the 1913 crop. The very best seed
available should be used. Increases
IN yield of from 2 to bushels or more
to the acre are often obtained from
sowing clean, large seed, but a gain of
even bushel to the acre will mean
big wages for the days spent in get.
ting seed ready for sowing. The
screenings have value for feed and
none for seed.

LET Wise Sewers
LOOK TO THEIR SEED
Don't Take Chances With Bad Product
This Year-HOmemade Testing De-
vice Will Tell You the Value of
Seeds-Clean Small Grains
Before Sowing

The seed trade has voluntarily
agreed to label all field seeds with the
percentage Of pure seed that will
grow, giving the purchaser exact in
formation as to quality. The United
States department OF Agriculture
urges all farmers to buy their seeds
only from dealers who comply with
this agreement and not to run the risk
OF buying high-priceG, unlabeled seed
that will not give stand in the
field.
Get your seed early and make a
termination test of It before sowing,
Count out 100 seeds; put them be-
tween folds of moist paper or cloth
between two dinner plates and keep at
room temperature for days; then
count the sprouted seeds. If 95 seeds
sprout the seed is good; if only a
small part Of the msprout the seed is
either poor or the test was not prom
crly made. If in doubt as to the value
of the seed send sample to your
State agricultural experiment station
or to the Seed Laboratory, United
States. Department of Agriculture,
Washington, D. c., with the request
that it be tested for quality, including
percentage OF purity and termination.
Don't take any chances with the
quality Of the red clover seed YOU sow
this spring.
Never before has the price of red
Glover seed been so high as it is at the
present time, and never has the guam
tity of seed on hand been so small in
proportion to the acreage to be seeded.
In years when the demand for any
Kind of seed exceeds the supply, all
available seed is put on the market
and much Of the seed is of poorer
quality than in normal years. There
fore, every farmer before sowing
should know what proportion of the
seed he buys cannot be expected to
grow. If one lot contains 96 per cent
of seed that will grow and another lot
contains Cd per cent of seed that will
grow it will take three bushels of the
G4 per cent seed to SOW the same num-
ber of acres that 2 bushels of the 96
per cent seed will SOW.
This is important from the stand
point of cost alone when red clover
seed is selling for $40 or more per
bushel. 1t is much more necessary,
however, to know the quality of seed
in order that the rate of. seeding may
be proportional to the quality, so that
enough live seed will be sowed to in
sure a stand in the field. First know
how much Of the seed may grow and
then sow accordingly.

YANKEE GENIUS GIVES THE
WAR FLAME BULLETS

Washington, March 3.-Modern
aerial warfare has brought forth a
new kind of ammunition. The war de-
partment announced tonight the de-
velopment Of special cartridges con-
tanning bullets for armor piercing,
tracing and inccndiary purposes.
Tests have shown that this class of
cartridges produced by the United
States perform fully equal to and in
some cases, surpass those developed
abroad, it was stated.
Armor 'iercing BULLETS became nee
essary when the more vita! parts of
airplanes were protected with light
armor. A bullet containing an in
flammable substance, ignitcd upon
discharge, and carrying the spark or
flame into the tank upon piercing it,
was found especially desirable in
view of the fact that gasoline tanks
are particularly susceptible to inccndi-
ary explosion.

fighting range for only brief mo-

they have been tersely stated by Mr..
