ALBERTA SCHOOL NOTES

The literary entertainment last
Friday evening was we'll attended at
the school building. The auditorium
was good one, and we'll rendered.
Among the many good parts was the
soliloquy on patriotism given by L..
J. Schlattman, president of the So
ciety.
At the meeting it was also decided
that on Saturday,, March 16, a gen
eral auction was to be held at AL
berta for the Red Cross to raise
funds. Every good American tribut-
airy to the village of Alberta is eX
pected to kindly bring something to
be sold as a donation to the Red
Cross. This will begin at 1870 in
the afternoon. People are requested
to bring their gifts to any member
of the committee, L. P. Norby, Chris
Eystad or Val. Orth. They will be
glad to receive them at any time be-
fore the time for the sale. Other
neighboring towns have had a splen~
did success in raising funds in this
way, so Alberta expects the same sue
cess for this noble cause. Everybody
help, please.
One of the pleasantest and most
successful social affairs in this COM
munity was the entertainment at
dinner of the members of the board
of education and their wives, as we'll
as Mr.. and Mrs. Grafelman, princi-
pal, last Saturday evening, March
2. Everybody had most magnifi-
cent time in the teachers apartment
of the manse. The teachers of AL
berta proved themselves royal hos
tesses, indeed.
Monday evening the entire school
faculty was pleasantly entertained
by Mr.. and Mrs. j. A. Schultz at
their residence for dinner. >: 1t is an
inspiration to the teachers of our
children to be SO pleasantly thought
of and their work shown to be ap-
preciated by the teachers each year.

Enough Seed Corn in Minnesota

Minnesota has enough corn OF
sufficiently good vitality to plan
the normal acreage in 1918. But it
is not saved and stored ready for
delivery as seed. Not more than 60
per cent of seed is available. The
other sc per cent will have to be
CLEANED from the relatively sound
corn now in the cribs in favored To-
calities
Sufficient tests have been made to
show that from 10 to SO per cent
of lot of these supplies will make
seed if saved and properly tested.
But let it clearly be understood that
the man who has this corn will not
make a very strenuous effort to pick
out seed corn for other folks. The
man who has no seed must, if he gets
what he needs this year, be willing
to take the time and spend the car
fare to go to locality and pick out
the good corn, test each ear and thus
provide the seed. Even at that, 1t
will be as cheap seed as he ever
bought. A little neighborhood CO.
operation will help to reduce the ex-
pense and cost per bushel.
The Experiment Station has a list
Of men who have good corn in cribs
and the Minnesota Crop improvement
association has limited seed list for
those who are interested.-C. P. Bull,

LUTHERANS OF NATION
PASS WAR FUND QUOTA
Churches of Stevens County Doing
Their Share to Help Raise
Money

Final returns have not been re-
ceived in the drive for funds which
the Lutheran churches have been
conducting to raise money for SOL
diers' and sailors welfare work.
Enough reports are in, however, to
indicate that the state of Minnesota
will over-subscribe it's quota by $4O,
600 or $4,000. The results of the
drive over the entire nation are not
known yet but indications are that
there will be a great deal over a
million dollars raised, which will be
$250,000 more than the amount
asked for by the national commission
to defray expenses Of this years SOL
diers' and sailors welfare work.
The Lutheran churches of Stevens
county are doing their share towards
raising money for this fund. Mr.. S.
A. Siverts, Sr., of Norris is the treas
urer to handle the funds in this
county and he says he is confident
that $1,000 will be raised here. AL
ready there has been turned in
$965.00 with a few other churches
to be heard from. The following
have sent in their contributions.
Free church of Morris, $3.50; Nor
ris Norwegian Lutheran Church OF
America $1,000; Hancock Norwegian
Lutheran Church of America $4,000;

Situation Demands Rag Doll Test

With only 40 per cent of the seed
corn supply in Minnesota this spring
in sight and a search for the addi-
tiona1 so per cent being made, the
simple rag doll method of testing
seed corn will be in great demand,
for every ear of seed corn to be used
this spring should be tested before
the kernels are put into the ground.
The rag doll method is described
in Bulletin No. "a of the Minnesota
Farmers Library series, University
Farm, st. Paul, and is as follows:
The cloth used is a good quality Of
sheet1ng, cut to any convenient
width and then marked off into num-
bered squares. The cloth is moist
ened and laid out on fiat surface.
Six kernels of ear No. / are placed
in square No. 1 and so on until the
squares have been filled. The cloth
is then rolled, and two or three rub
Der bands or string put around the
roll. AS many rolls may be used as
necessary to contain the corn to be
tested. After the rolls have been
filled, they are soaked in water for
two or three hours and then placed
under box or wash tub, in room

For Safety First. Test Seed Corn

Bad as the outlook for seed corn
has been made to appear, it has not
been painted blacker than it is. Con-
tinuous efforts by the special seed
corn agents, who have been assigned
to the several counties where seed
is scarce, has brought out even more
plainly the seriously unreliable con-
dition of the supplies of corn saved
for seed. The man who thinks that
because he saved ears of corn last
fall, he now has seed, will do we'll
to test individual ear before he sells
it. Appearance of the ear and
kernels are very good indications
but must be supplemented by a test.
Therefore, the first question you
should ask is: has the seed been test
ed for termination? The last word
should be: what was the per cent of
test? Upon this depends the crop of
1918.
The vitality of the seed is very
poor indeed. Seed of low germina-
ton and relatively weak vitality
must be used, for there is not ten
per cent of supply of high grade
seed in the state. If poor corn is
used, poor stand, weak and barren
stalks and low yield will result, and
remember it takes as much time to
cultivate a poor stand as a good one
1t costs % or more dollars per acre
to grow corn.-C. P. Bull, University
Farm, St. Paul.

Look to Farm Machinery

What is the condition of your farm
machinery?
Is it in shape for the spring cam
paign, and if not, why not?
Here is a form of conservation
that only a fraction of the farmers
in Minnesota appreciate, and yet Ii
given attention it would represent a
saving that would run into the thou
sands of dollars.
So forcibly has this condition ap-
pealed to the federal government
that steps are now being made to in
terest farmers generally in farm
machinery conservation movement,
and printed hints as to what to do
are in preparation. Proper machin-
cry it is pointed out will add materi-
ally to the next crop return.
Though education has removed
much Of farm machinery waste OF
the past, there are still many farm
ers who continue to give this one
feature of farm equipment but scant
attention. Junk is more often in
evidence and production is curtailed
in consequence. Such is a criminal
waste and as an offset those inter-
ested in the new conservation sug-
gest a number of things.
Take advantage of these cold days,
they say, and overhaul your farm
machinery. Examine every machine
thoroughly, and IL it is in need of oil
or paint, see that the same is sup
lied. II there are any broken parts
