County Agent Finds Only IA

ADVISES USING EAR TEST
Patriotic Motive Should Inn
pei Farmers To Test Seed
Says Anderson

County Agent Anderson opened
three rag dolls" in which he has
been testing seed corn at the request
OF the owner of a crib of last years
corn, which was thought to be of eX-
ira good quality for the 1917 crop,
Monday, and found that the corn in
the three dolls" tested GAIA and 20
percent, respectively,
"A great deal of seed can be OBJ
tanned from that crib probably" said
the county agent, "but it should all
be. subjected to an ear test before
planting"
Agent Anderson said Monday that
there are still some farmers who
have not tested the corn they are ex-
pecting to plant, but that the most
of them are doing so.
"Those who do not" he said, will
be surprised by the percentage OF
seed they plant that does not grow,
but all should test from patriotic mo-
tives this year, even if they don't
care whether they get good crop"

FLOOD RUINS STOCK
IN LYNDEN STORE
Hammond's Dry Goods Company Is
Victim When Tap Is Left Open In
Lauckhart Building

Someone left water tap open
Sunday night on the second floor
of the Lauckhart Building, and the
overflow flooded Hammond's dry
goods store below. doing a damage
of between five hundred and theus-
and dollars.
The water was noticed in the store
shortly after eleven o'clock Sunday
night by Marshal Jake lie Compile,
and work was started promptly to
save the stock from the flood. The
water splashed over the shelves in
the store, and soaked great quaint
ity CT dress goods and furnishings.
1t is thought that someone tried
to turn on the water on the upper
floor during the evening while it was
shut off at the pump station, and for
got to turn the tap off. Then later
when the water was turned on in the
mains again, the flood resulted.
Several other floods took place in
teh city from the same cause this
week. On Monday night, the Lynden
Department Store was saved from
a serious one just in time.

been enough precipitation to even give
vegetation a fair start. Spring pas

this section and the hay crop will fall

are stunted and are already heading
out. The prospect some say is so

The following is from the sumas
News
If the Sumas Chautauque was not
the success anticipated for it. the
fault was not on account of the pro-
gram. Each number would have
been immensely injoyed had it not
been held right in the midst of the
mosquito season. Notwithstanding
the fact that these little pests filed
Che air more densely than bullets on
the French front during a big Ger
mcn drive, the attendance was fair.
and everybody seemed to enjoy each
number Of the program to the fullest
even though they were handicapped
by being compelled to fight continu-
ally against a mass formation of
mosquitoes.
In fact these little pests are to
blame for any shortcomings of the
Chautauqua. They caused the sign
ers to the Chautauqua to go down in
to their pockets and dig up $5.55
each to make up a small deficit But
for them the balance would have been
on the other side OF the ledger, and
the attendance would have been al
most doubled.
