some SUGGESTIONS ABOUT
The PLAN Ting Of SEEDS

What does a seed contain "A seed
contains an embryo plant II sum,
cient food to nourish the plant until
1t has grown enough roots and leaves
TO nourish itself. The kind of plant
the seed will grow into depends upoh
its ~parentage. Sec seeds look allke,
vet one kind win grow into beets that
are ready to harvest in 90 days, and
the other kind will not be ready to
harvest for 120 days. This difference
ia due to the selection of the seed
plants.
Factors to consider in purchasing
seed.-(1) Freshness; seeds purchased
in bulk are always more likely 10 Do
fresh thar those in small packages
CD Variety; the most desirable var
ieties of seed are purchased from re-
liable seed farms. Too much emphasis
can not be placed upon the importance
of purchasing seeds from reliable seed
farms that make a specially of select
ing SEED plants n furnishing seeds
Of high quality.
Seed growing.-Seed growing has
developed into a special class OF farm
ing. Seed farms are located where
the soil and climate are especially
Favorable for the vegetable to be grown
For instance, cabbage thrives well IN
a cool climate, and therefore these
Seen are bCo 5IO"i 80
Many cabbage seed farms are located
In Connecticut and Long Island
Watermelons, on the other hand. are Z
| warm weather crop, so these seeu
farms are located in Georgia. Lima
| bean and field pea seed farms are 10
Gated in California, where the soil and
| climate are especially favorable FOR
| growing these crops.
The seeds are produced from care
p,JIxr eolnato1 snn6 n0antS StnnteO
plant is likely to produce poor seeds,
| and so these plants r given special
attention throughout the growing sea-
son and provided with all conditions
favorable for a continuous healthy
growth. Any undesirable plant Is
pulled up before it blossoms, and only
perfect plants are allowed to blossom
and produce seed. All this requires
| much individual attention from ex-
selected seed are more expensive than
other seed. The quality of the crop
raised from such seed, however, more
| than pays for the additional expense.
Since seed growing is a specialized
business, requiring much skill and ex-
| perience, 1t would be far better for the
average home gardner to purchase his
| seed from reliable seed farms than
to try to raise them himself.
Reasons for poor seeds.-Seeds may
| be too old to germinate. Lettuce seed
can be kept for four years and still
germinate, while onion seed can moi
be kept more than one year. The
lseed crop may have been grown under
lunfavorable conditions. The seed may
mot have been ripe when they We're
gathered. They may not have been
properly cured or stored. Infected
seed should not be planted; for tx
ample, pea seed containing weevils
or bean seed with a~nthracnose.

INVITE PUBLIC
One Meeting a Month to be
Held at 7 O'Clock at Night
so Taxpayers Can Attend

NEW BRUNSWICK, March 26:-
To those residents of Middlesex
county who may have the inclination
to look into the workings of the
county governing body but who, on
account of business relations are
compelled to forego that pleasure,
the announcement that frecholders
meetings are to be held one night
each month will soon permit them
to crafty their wishes.
beginning April !, instead of one
meeting q month, two meetings viii
be held. AS in the past the regular
meeting will be held at 2:30 o'clock
in the afternoon of the first Thursday
of the month and the additional
meeting will be held at I in the even
ing of the third Thursday.
The resolution authorizing the adj
ditional meeting was adopted by the
board on a resolution presented by
Director William S. Dey.
As pointed out by Mr.. Dey. there
are probably a great many residents
of the county who would like to at
tend the fr~eeholders meetings and ex-
press their wishes regarding county
affairs, but who are unable to attend
such meetings when they are held
during the afternoon.
Though no report was made yester-
day regarding the visit of the board
to the site purchased for a tubercu-
losis hospital, it is understood that
the f~reeholders will make known
their scheme for deriving revenue
from the $4,000, one hundred II
sixty acre swamp and clay soil plot
at the next meeting. This ground
was purchased by a former board OF
freeholders, on which it was proposed
to erect a hospital to combat the
ravages of the white plague. but
which from the prevailing opinion
recently expressed, might be a GOOD
place on which to raise goats.
At the time the new pavement
was laid on Main street, Midtown, 1t
was agreed that municipality should
nav $4,000 towards the cost of the
improvement, but to the present time
the county has not been reimbursed
for hat amount. Interest at the
rate of six per cent. is now being
paid on that amount by the county
and in an endeavor to save the I'D
diticnal expense. County Sollcltof
Frederick T.. Richardson has been re-
auested to obtain a settlement.
Mrs. John f. TenBroeck in a let
ter to the board, thanked them Tor
their expression of sympathy In her
recent bereavement, also for the
beautiful lily spray.
Excepting for one shipment OF
1907 pounds of smokeless powder,
| which was disposed of during the
| week, the explosives in storage at
the Morgan General Ordnance Depot
for the week ending March 20, re-
mains the same as previously report
