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 flaming mill at least
once. The cleaned grain will run
through the drill or other seeding ma
chinery more evenly and thus insure
a more uniform stand than can be OBJ
tanned from uncleaned grain.
Cleaning grain removes most of the
weak and diseased kernels. many of
which may not grow at all, or IL they
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 lind
for seeding destroys many seeds chat
are In the ground and thus helps to
keep weeds In check. but the value
OF this work is largely lost u foul seed

year ago, so White Horse was again

a tribe with whom the Cheyennes were
unfriendly for many years, the adopted

SEED DEALERS TO FURNISH
INFORMATION WITH

According to q plan agreed
upon by representatives of the
seed trade and representatives
of the United States Department
of Agriculture In conferences
last year. seed dealers will pro-
vide the following information
with all lots of ten pounds or
over Of field-crop seeds which
they sell:
l. Name Of scotsman.
2. Kind of seed.
3. Proportion Of pure live seed
present, with month and year OF
termination test.
4. Country or locality OF or

imported seeds: Beans, soy
beans, Turkestan alfalfa, and
red clover from southern Eu-
rope and Chile.

seedsmen have individually
agreed to conduct their busi-
ness In accordance with these
suggestions.

and mud Of the seed is of poorer quail
ity than In normal years. Therefore,
every farmer before sowing should
know what proportion of the seed he
buys cannot be expected to grow. IL
one lot contains 96 per cent OF seed
that will grow and another lot con-
tains 81 per cent of seed that will grow
1t will take three bushels Of the GA per

acres that two bushels of the 90 per
cent will SOW.
This is important from the stand
point Of cost alone when red clover
seed Is selling for $50 or more per
bushel. 1t Is much more necessary.

SCREENING SEED MAY PRE-
VENT NEW DISEASE.

Screening out the shriveled
grains from wheat seed before
planting will remove one cause
of spreading the new bacterial
disease of wheat which has been
discovered In many states of the
middle West. This has been
learned by specialists OF the
United States Department of Ag-
riculture who. In cooperation
with the experiment stations of
Kansas and Wisconsin, are
studying the problem of control
ling this disease. Wheat kerr
nels that are plump do not con-
tain bacterial cavities, but shriv-
eled ones often do.

The seed trade has voluntarily agreed
to label all field seeds with the per-

ment of Agriculture urges all farmers
to buy their seeds only from dealers

Movies in the War.

On the fast cruisers that convey the
troop ships across the sea, the Y. M.
G. A. movies are in many cases the
only recreation the sailors have. Owing
to the need of caution about showing
lights, and owing to the fact that coal
fills most of the space in the ship,
these shows have to be given below
decks in highly restricted quarters.
Now and then it happens that the
sailor who secures even standing room
has to fight for the privilege.
In government circles the story Is
told of a bad labor situation which the
movies remedied. At a certain point
in Chesapeake Bay, windswept and
cheerless, it was impossible to keep a
sufficient force of stevedores on the job
until a naval "Y" man came along
with a tent and a movie camera.
In the transport service the Y. M.
G. A. Is using 100000 feet of film, and
100000 feet have recently been select
ed for use with the American forces
in France. In choosing the films to be
sent abroad, the viewers worked 80
hours at a stretch and examined ap-
proximately 100000 feet of film in
order to find one-Quarter OF that
amount that was both free from
French rights and fit to be exhibited
before American youngsters.

There is nothing for it but to knit
and knit and then knit some more
and carry on. She who does not must
be forever explaining why not. It's
an obligation and all hat we have to
show that our hearts are in the right
place are knitting needles, knitting
bags and such things.
The four hundredth pair of socks
may prove just a little mOnotonOus,
but there are new knitting bags to
add the spice Of variety to our daily
lives. At the ribbon counters they
are showing some immensely clever
Ones along with other work bags and
"catch-alls." Those who spend their
time thinking of new things in bags
have grown to be such adopts that
life at the ribbon counter promises
to become one continual round of
joyous new bags-from now until the
end Of the year. ~.Then-unless the
war is over-they will begin all over
again with 1919 knitting bags.
A new arrival that charms every
one is'a knitting bag that looks like
q little umbrella. 1t is made of silk
or strips of ribbon, sewed together
and cut into a circle. The circle is
cut out in six scallops at the circum-
ference and the points of these seal
lops are sewed to the ends of the
narrow strip that forms the handle

three ScallOpS at each end Of the
strip. Then the handle is slipped
through q small slide made of the
ribbon and when it is drawn through
the bag falls in the form Of an um-
brella. The tassel is sewed at the
center of the circle of silk.
Work bags that will serve for
knitting as well as other kinds Of
work are made Of strips Of plain
and brocaded ribbon sewed together
lengthwise like that shown at the
right of the umbrella bag. The top
is cut in scallops and draws up on
narrow satin ribbons that run through
a casing sewed along the base of the
scallops in the plain ribbon. Small
rings sewed at the sides Of the bro
caded ribbon are covered with cro-
Chef silk and the narrow ribbon hang
ers pass from the casing through
them.
Below this bag a smaller workbag
is gathered over large glass rings. 1t
is made of plain satin ribbon Joined
with shirrings over cord and finished
with silk tassels. The bag at the
right is made of narrow strips Of rib
bon feather stitched together. It's
mouth is a small embroidery hoop so
it is always open and ready to catch
what may be dropped into 1t. 1t
hangs from four cords of silk and A
finished with a tassel.

Army of Extension Workers.

An army Of 5.651 extension workers
is aiding in the department of agricul-

3,4O5 over the number doing similar

total 3,O49 are in co1nty-agent work,
serving 2,450 counties; 1890 are in
home-demonstration work, serving in
1875 counties; and 912 are in boys
and girls club work. In the Is South

MobiIizinu Harvest Labor.

Steps for the systematic mobiliza-
ton of farm labor in Kansas were TAX
en- at a meeting held in Kansas City,
May IA. This is the first of a series Of
meetings which are to be arranged by
the department of agriculture in a
number of cities to unite the efforts OF
all agencies working to secure labor to
help farmers in harvesting their crops.
At the Kansas City meeting a commit
tee was appointed to direct the work
of the various agencies in the state
and to see that registrations r held
in the cities where city employees
who will do farm work during their va
cations can register. 1t is estimated
that $4,000 helpers will be necessary
to harvest the crops in Kansas this
year, and the commercial organiza-
tons in Kansas City have undertaken
to supply 10000 of this number.

Concerning sponges.

Sponges are animals with power to
eat and digest. They begin their life
as tiny eel-like creatures and have a
short, free life in the sea, after which
they fasten themselves to a rock and
begin to develop. They grow into all
sorts of shapes. Some branch out in
all directions like fingers, and are
called mermaid's gloves. There are fan
like sponges, treelike sponges and cup
like sponges. There are sponges that
form a carpet owe the rocks, and
sponges called by the fishmen "sea
nests" because they look like birds
nests.

the best advantage.
Among these new silk suits there is
one having a coat with three ~flounces
set in across the back that is very
pretty. 1t has narrow pockets set on
at each side with rows of small but
tons, and a belt Of the silk. These
belts, in many silk suits, extend around
the waist in the most straightforward
and matter-of-fact manner, which is
another point of departure from
style in cloth suits. The most popular
colors are navy, taupe and black, but
light %colors, as sand gray or white
have a daintiness that compenSateS
for their being shorter lived.
