SEED FOR 1919

A big crop Is needed this year
for supplying the worlds needs.
The first important thing is to have
good seed. A Seed Stocks Com
mittee has been organized at the
North Dakota Agricultural College
to find out where good seed can be
secured, and to make up lists so
that the farmer who needs to buy
seed will know where he can Sc
cure the best. Any one having
seed Tor sale, should notify the
county agent, the Seed Stocks Com
mittee, or the Pure Seed LaDora-
tory at the Agricultural College. a
sample of the seed (one-half 'pound)
for inspection and test should also
be sent. A big service was rem
dered in this way last year.

reports that rabbits will travel con-
siderable distances to feed on alfal-

and dig down into the crowns which
damages the plant. B. B. Bobb OF

trouble for alfalfa in rows by
,plowing furrow over the alfalfa
row. In the spring, he smooths
