1t Is useless to lose timc arguing with
people, who are aversc to saving 1t Is
better to let them suffer the result of
their folly. 1t is always worth the effort
though to educate the young up to the
thrift standard. They may be induced to
deny themselves certain necessities that
they may save.
Oder persons will tell you that they do
not make enough TO save. This cry will
come from persons too, who receive as
much as one thousand dollars per year
while the newspaper carrier will show you
money that has been saved out Of meager
earnings after many hard effort
Saving is a habit just rs spending is a
habit. person who will not pinch off u
penny or nfcklc from the market money
and put it away for the rainy day will not
save ono dollar out OF a hundred If they
are blessed with that amount Our needs

pain and sorrow;-of bitterness and
hate. Many people are in state OF
perpleXity; their hearts. are failing
them with fear because of the evils
which stalk abroad by night and by
day. Our people are trying to hold
fast their faith in God and in our
government. But to many God seems
to be far away and the government
strangely Indifferent to the many
wrongs and injustices done to our
people.
And it Is certain beyond question,
that neither culture, religion, nor

when disaster clouded the I'm

Value and Purity Content of
All Seed.

We are just beginning to realize
that there is Il great scarcity of good
planting seeds. Formerly much of our
forage crop and garden seeds were
obtained abroad. War conditions now
prey ent this importation; our own
seed farms are not able 10 meet the
present demand consequently a high
price and often time inferior eeds is
the result
Home grown seeds save expense Of
transportation, allowing much needed
labor and time, and space required in
transit. for other purpOseg In many
cases plants from home grown seed
show less susceptibility tG plant dis
eases than do foreign Groan seed.
Tho are at hand when ndedeG.
The value of a high petcer tage in
seed can not be over estitnat ed. Low
percentage of germinationl not only
means there are a few sheds which
germinate. but that the vitality of
that new plant starting out to grow is
very low; it may not have enough
stored energy to permit TO competing
with Other plants, and it lmay soon
sucCumb. Reports Of high percentage
OF termination not only lmean that
great numbers of Seeds are viable,
but that the chances of getting
rOOt-hoid and in competingI with other
plants is therefore greater. A low
percentage and low or weak vitality
of spTOuted seeds, and a high percen-
tage and strong vitality, gb together
EigOr in seeds is one of the greatest
assets to insure a strong plant.
