CALL TO THE WOMEN

The two million intelligent Amer.
can women, organized under the name
of the General Federation of Women S
clubs. are asked to lend their aid in
reducing the cost of the national an
nual bonfire. The appeal has been
sent out by Miss Lloyd Marshall. chair
man Of the subcommittee on schools,
hospitals and penal institutions of the
National Fire Protective association.
A program has been mapped out for
the club women which, if carried out.
will aid materially in cutting down the
waste by fire in the present year Los
Angeles has already adopted as a slo-
gan. Make every school child safe
from fire"
If every house in the land had a
watchful housekeeper guarding the
home carefully against the danger of
fires, the fire peril would be materially
lowered, hence the action taken to
arouse the interest of this organiZa-
ton of public spirited women in the
subject will be Of material value.

TO REGISTER SEEDS

In order TO establish supply of
farm seeds of the leading varieties
such as Sixty-day oats, Odessa bar
ley. Grimm alfalfa. Kubanka, Acme
and Marquis wheat, Minnesota 12 corn
and others, arrangements have been
made whereby the county agents will
cooperate with the extension agronO-
mist at State college in registering
fields of the best varieties.
Those interested Will be furnished
announcements and application blanks
free Of charge from the county agents
office. The county agent will examine
the fields of grain at heading time,
the alfalfa at blooming, and the corn
in early September, In order TO pass,
the fields must be free of noxious
weeds such as quack, Canada thistle
field SOW thistle, wild morning glory
and dodder. They must be at least
95 per cent free from smut Of all
kinds and al least 95 per cent pure,
that is, true 10 the variety type. Those
that pass the field examination will be
furnished certificate to that effect.
They will then send a representa-.
tive threshed sample of two quarts Of
seed grain or one quart of alfalfa or
grass seed TO the county agents of
fee as soon as possible after thresh-
ing. He will divide this sample into
two equal parts, keeping half as an
exhibit in his Office and sending the
other half 10 the extension agronomist
at Brookings where purity, germina-
ton and weight per bushel test will
be made. II the seed passes the re-
it will be listed as regis
tered seed. State and county seed
lists will be issued and sent
first TO experiment association and
farm bureau members and then to all
others upon request
Crop yields have been wonderfully
increased by the introduction Of these
varieties and can be still further in
creased as soon as certified seed of
purity is available to sup
ply the damand There is fine op-
portunity to grow seeds in wholesale
quantities for the commercial seed
South Dakota can just as
well have an increasing share in this |
business. Wisconsin, Michigan and
have already established |
somewhat similar systems.
