FARMERS SEED
TESTED FREE
nv BRANCH SEED LABORATORY
ESTABLISHED AT THE
UNIVERSITY

Arrangements have just been COM
pletod for the establishment OF a
branch seed laboratory at the Uni
versity which will better serve north
Idaho farmers and seed dealers.
Heretofore. all of the samples sub
mitted were sent to the main labora-
tory at Boise, which meant a delay of
from two to four days in transit.
This laboratory is equipped with the
necessary germinators and appliances
for analysing and terminating sam
pies submitted. Accurate methods are
needed and a trained analyst is need
ed to insure reliable results.
The university is fortunate to
secure Miss Claire Hobson to take
charge Of the laboratory. She has
been employed as assistant analyst at
Boise for the past two years and IS
thoroughly trained ACf this work.
Both termination and purity tests
will be made on samples submitted
by, farmers and producers free of
cost, but those submitted by seed
companies will be tested at mini
mum charge. This is done to prevent
over-crowding the laboratory during
busy seasons Of the year. Most of
the large seed companies in the
northwest employ their own analysts
to insure the quality of their seeds.
It is advisable for farmers who
are planning on seeding grasses or
legumes or other seeds, to submit
samples Of the seed before purchase
and secure an analysis. This will
tell whether the seed is true to name,
the percentage purity and the germi-
nation. Many farmers have paid
high prices for seed and have Sc
cured seed of poor quality and in
many instances caused their fields to
be infested with noxious weeds be-
cause the samples were not tested.
Besides serving the farmers OF
north Idaho, the laboratory will serve
as training school for students de-
string to specialize in this branch
Of agriculture.

feed for these sows. In addition, ar
rordine to specialists of the United
States Department of Agriculture,
they may be fed a small amount OF
corr and some shorts or middlings,
and fish meal or tankage.
Careful attention should be given
to the selection of sows for breeding
purposes. First, they should be Sc
lected from good sized litter and
from litter whose dam has good
sucking qualities. The brood sow
should be Of good rangy type, with
good, strong arched back, deep sides,
rather thin neck, and not too broad
in the face. By all means she should
be a "good-footed" animal with good,
strong legs and pasterns and rather
outstanding from the ground.
The SOW that takes plenty of ex-
ercise freely is the one that is most
likely to make desirable brood sow.
Do net select sow from a litter
whose dam is cross and irritable. The
SOW should be gentle and easily
handled
Attention should also be paid to
the eyes. A blind sow is likely to step
on and injure her pigs. Careful at
tention to these details at this time
will have a tendency to add to the
value of the breeding herd and to the
number of pigs that may be brought
to maturity.

This remedy is intended especially
for coughs, colds, Group and whoop-

its sale and use has extended to ali

medicine of more than ordinary
