Farmers Will Grow More Glover
Seed

With red clover seed selling at
more than $50 a bushel, many Ohio
farmers are planning to produce
this seed next season.
After securing the regular cut
ting of clover hay, the crop makes
a second growth, and if the season
is normal one, the seed crop de-
velops. Unless attacked by the
clover midge or other insects, or
else injured by extremely dry
weather, one may expect to har-
vest from one to two bushels of
clover seed per acre, according to
w. E. Hanger, crops specialist at
the Ohio State University.
Ordinarily the crop of clover
seed may be materially increased
by sacrificing the hay crop to some
extent. This may be accomplished
by cutting the hay somewhat
earlier than the time for the maxi
mum yield, thus allowing the sec
ond growth of clover to come Oh
earlier. This will quite likely al
low ii to mature seed before the
clover midge gets in it's work.
Another plan worth considering
says Prof. Hanger, is to pasture
the clover crop for while in the
spring, then take out the stock and
allow the second crop to come or
for seed. The seed crop would

LOSSES BY SMUT
Proper Treatment of Seed VIII Save
Thousands Of Dollars to Farmers of
Prowers County. Says l.. VI. Sweitz-
er, County Agent.

DO you know that "smuts" attack
ing the small grains are annually ex-
acting n terrible toll in the form Of
taxes paid out by the farmers Of this
county, state and our United States :?
Consider the following figures a mo-
ment:
oat smut destroyed 81 .645,OOO bush
els of oats in the United States in
1917. Bunt or sinking smut of wheat
destroyed q 100000 bushels Of wheat
in 1917. and the stem smut of rye de-
stroys over 100000 bushels of rye an
nually. Colorado's annual loss result
ing from these smuts Of small grains
amounts to considerably over 81 ,O00.-
900. Prowers county's loss from these
same enemy smuts amounts TO thous-
ands of dollars each year. Had you
considered that this mass Of evidence,
in figures. represents a waste which
can be prevented at a cost Of about
two cents an acre plus little time .?
If you are being docked when you
sell your grain. for the smut it con-
tains, let us appeal to you TO treat
every bit Of seed you plant this spring.
You cannot follow any better business
principle. Use 40 per cent formalde-
hyde solution, simple, sure, and mex
pensive. This can be purchased at any
drug store.
Often times seed treatment is not
generally practiced because of a more
or less popular notion that seed in
jury is apt to result after treatment.
This notion may be having more in
fluence in preventing the general use
of the recommended seed disinfection
methods than the actual work OF the
treatment of the cost. The notion is
not right, as no injury will result if
the proper methods are carried out.
When treating bear in mind the fol-
lowing points: Do not dry grain too
slowly after treating, as this may
cause injury to the seed germ. Poor
stands often claimed to be due to
treatment may be due to the use of
too little grain, or the use of seed
which originally had poor termination.
Practice testing your seed before
treating. and then you will know that
your efforts will not be wasted on

Washington, D.C.-Work on the col

income equalled or exceeded these
amounts, according to their martial
status, must file return of income

Household Arts Display.

On Saturday of this week there will
be an exhibit in Adams, Sewell G. Co.'S
furniture store, Of some Of the work
done in Household Arts in the Lamar
schools during the half of the school
year just finished. On account of the
limited space, it is impossible to ex-
hibit any where near the number of
garments made in this department, but
we shall endeavor to show samples of
all the kinds OF work done. The work
Of children in the sixth, seventh, and
eighth grades, as will as of the high
school will be shown.
1t is thought that the children have
done remarkably well in this work, in
spite Of the many handicaps which
have taken hold of them and US teach
ers.
The equipment in the sewing de-
partment is very limited, too. The
children sew in the cooking room, and
the sewing machines have to be in the
hall; there is no other place for them.
The tables and chairs are not suitable
for comfort and case in sewing, but
we have no room for others, should
they be purchased. If the addition to
the high school is built, this depart
ment of Household Arts can be en-
larged, and facilities instituted for
complete and highly efficient course
in Household Arts established. Ger
tainly the girls of Lamar are worthy
of, and anxious for, training in the
most important business in the whole
world. that of home-making, which
profession 95 per cent of them all en-

CITY POLITICS
Named But May be Changed in
Favor of Union Ticket.

There was a large and enthusiastic
mass convention of the voters of La
mar at the meeting called at the Elks
Club rooms last Thursday evening.
The room was crowded and all SEEM
ed to earnestly favor united action for
the best interests of our city. The
meeting was called to order by Glen
Kirkpatrick and on motion C. A. Coker
was elected as chairman and Geo. Il.
Merrill as secretary. Nominations be-
ing called for Judge CRANKY Hillyer
in an earnest and impressive speech
outlined the work done by Mayor Ray
Strain during his present term and the
bright possibilities before our city if
wisely conducted in the next few years.
and placed Strain in nomination for
reelection. This was unanimously
agreed to by the convention. The
ticket was then completed by the fol-
lowing nominations:
For City Clerks. L. Cook.
For Treasurer--E. A. Lundgren.
For Aldermen, Ward One C. b.
Ray and J. A. Downing.
For Aldermen, Ward Two-Glen f.
Kirkpatrick and r. l.. Christy.
For Aldermen, Ward Three-John
Y. Brown and II. C. Davis.
w. A. Leonard proposed that the
meeting endorse the issue of bonds for
the much needed extension of high
school building and after a dozen
large taxpayers and many others had
expressed their hearty approval of the
project it was unanimously adopted.
Many who had opposed the plan last
year because of war conditions express
sed themselves as being now favorable
to voting the bonds and going ahead
with the improvements.
A number Of the citizens and bust
ness men spoke on the subject of
boosting Lamar, building our own
light and power plant. the proposed
sugar factory and other new projects.
Patronizing our home manufactured
brooms and other articles also came
in for much boosting; and at the last
paving Main street was warmly en-
dorsed.
The ticket as named is composed of
good men, who will if elected make
efficient officers but as in all matters
there are other citizens who have ia
voritcs that they would like to see en-
tered in the rnce. The principals on
both sides as a rule are not so anxi-
Gus to serve the public free Of charge
as their friends are to have them. and
there is a strong disposition on the
part of all concerned to get together
and present n united front on the
really big issues that the now facing
both the city government and the
school board.
The Register earnestly hopes that
way can be found to unite all our
citizens on ticket composed of pro-
gressive and efficient business men. be-
licving that it will be much easier for
the officials elected to put through the
much needed Legislation for the up
building Of our city II the government
is supported by unanimous sentiment
back of it. and goes in without a
fight.
