COMMUNICATED

Virginia Mimi, Mar. 25, 1919.
Everybody is interested in good
crops, and good crops are not ac-
cidents! They don't just happen.
They must be planned and prepared
for as effectively and earnestly as
anthing else. Bumper crops are not
the result of preparing the ground
haphazard or an old way, using any
old kind of seed that we happen to
have or can get easily, then trusting
to luck or providence to do the rest.
Successful farming depends mainly
on three things; good soil, we'll pre-
pared, fortified and cultivated; good
seed free from impurities, of high
termination, test tried and tested
as to adaptability to local climatic
conditions; then good favorable
season with enough sunshine and
moisture to round out the combina-
ton.
Soils, seeds and season then is the
foundation upon which rest our hopes
of an agricultural prosperity for
northern Minnesota. Then soil and
its care and preparation we must
leave to the intelligence of the farm
ers, the weather man cannot be
oribed, although he will tell you
when to look out for rainy weather
in haying time and premature frost
that would damage pumpkin vines.
The seed then is the subject of this
article, and, for the benefit of the
public at large, we want to empha-
size the value and necessity of good,
high terminating seed of the best
varities, tried and tested under our
northern conditions.
The Universities of Minnesota and
Wisconsin each publish list of seed
growers who specialize in pure bred
strains of seed grains, wheat, oats
and barley, and the assurance that
goes with the sowing of good seed
properly tested for termination and
treated with formaldehyde for smut
pint formaldehyde. to 40 gallons OF
water. This will treat 60 bushels OF
seed. Either dip as with potatoes
for two hours or sprinkle on grain
spread out on granary floor, shovel
ling to mix thoroughly, then cove,
with sacks or blankets for severa
hours over night. Then spread out
to dry before seeding.
Whenever we connect up GOOD
seed grain, properly tested and treat
ed, with good, well prepared soil anG
a good average season comes along
then and only then have we done
our full duty and would be justified
in expecting a 100 per cent crop
Don't gamble on poor seed, and, nc
matter if you plant only small
average, you cannot afford TO lose
from 10 to so per cent of your CROP
through smut that is so easily pre-.
ventable.
The County Agents Office will glad.
ly furnish you any desired infor,
nation as to the growers of good
seed grains in Minnesota, and let us
all unite on a clean bill of health
of all our seed grains for 1919.
