THE SEED YOU PLANT

The seed that is planted this spring
will be an important factor in deter
mining the crop that will be harvested
next fall. 1t is not only factor in
determining the yield Of the crop, but
Of the quality and value as well. The
practice of using for seed that which
is too poor in quality to be readily
sold has been discarded pretty gener-
ally and certainly has no place on a
well managed farm. The best is none
too good when used for seed.
The variety of seed used may great
ly affect the yield, for not all varie-
ties are equally well adapted to all
conditions and some are consistently
better yielders than others. Some va
rieties will also produce product
that is of better quality and that
will bring better price. Local mar
ket conditions may affect the price
considerably for it is most generally
easier to market varieties that are
pretty generally known in the com
munity. When the best variety has
been definitely determined, it is well
for community to standardize and
use no other.
But the variety in itself will be Of
little value If the quality of the seed
used is not Of the best. There is
good and poor seed of any variety and
it should be selected with care. And
above all it must grow. To plant seed
that does not grow is waste Of time
and money. 1t takes but little time
to test the seed before it is planted
and it pays well.

PLANTER AND SNAKE IN
A DEADLY COMBAT
Giant Snake Puts up Big Fight and
Aged Farmer Nearly Loses Life
Reptile Finally Killed

Atlanta, Ga, June 24.-Word has
been brought to Atlanta of remark
able. fight to the death between an
aged farmer, living near Buckhead, a
suburb of Atlanta, and a giant rattle
snake, in which the man finally con-
quered.
The farmer, Mac Richards, who is
we'll advanced in years and conse-
quently not able to move with the
alarcity of youth, was mending a
fence when he disturbed rattlesnake
so large that when piled in coil
its head was more thant two feet
above the ground. The snake struck at
him and would have reached its mark
it it hadn't been DETECTED by heavy
briars. Before it cound coil to strike
again, Mr.. Richards seized a rail and
with the end of it pinned the snake
against the ground. He tried to cali
tor help, but none was near. The snake
by main strength twisted itself out
from under the rail and prepared to
strike again. This time Mr.. Richards
got beyond striking distance, but the
snake followed him, an unusual thing
in the RATHER, and continued the at
tack. Mr.. Richards finally picked I'D
a shorter rail and with it gave battle

OIL INSPECTION.
This Matter Comes up at the AID.
preaching Session Legislature.

Atlanta.-It is entirely probable, ac
cordi9g to officials of the department
OF agriculture, that an effort will be
made at this session to achieve a
solution to the problem involving the
oil inspection system. The law has
been attacked in the federal courts by
the Texas Oil Company on the ground
that its provisions are illegal and I'M
constitutional. The Texas company
claims that the fees accruing from the
inspection of gasoline, kerosene and
naptha are far in excess of the actual
cost of inspection, that the surplus
is used for state expenses and that
the law thus constitutes a revenue
measure beyound the power of the
state to enact.
Last year the oil inspection fees
showed surplus of about $4,000 in
excess of expenses, and this year it is
expected that about 100000 would be
turned into the state treasury if it
were not for the Texas company's liti-
cation. An injunction has been secur-
ed to prevent the collection of oil
fees in excess of the expense of in
Spction and the purpose of the propos-
ed amendment to tn estatute is to
clear up the tangle now existing.
1t has been proposed to extend the
inspection system to cover filling sta
lions, so that motorists, who actually
pay the tax on gasoline. may be alb
solutely protected against unscrupu-
lous retail dealers and that the ~oil
companies may also be given protec-
ton. 1t is pointed out that even
though a tank car of oil may be found
to be of standard grade, some retail
er may adulterate the oil and sell it to
consumers. who NATURALLY feel that the
Oil is inferior. The question is re-
veiving serious consideration at the
hands of the state officials.
