produced" 1t Is apparent that this
situation offers an excellent oppor-
tunity for the INSCRIPTIONS individual
to sell seed of common alfalfa for
Grimm.
In general the demand for the
Grimm seed exceeds the supply, There
are only few sections Of the United
States that produce seed of this hardy
strain. In the east and middle west,
where there is usually a big demand
for this seed, dependence for their
supply is in the west Climate con-
ditions are not favorable for the pro-
duction OF seed.
Idaho is naturally a reproducing
state and is one of the states that
figures prominently in supplying the
demand for Grimm. Many sections of
the east send their buyers into this
state each year to obtain quantity of
our seed. In the Aberdeen, Spring
field and Sterling sections, Idaho has
one of the finest Grimm sections in
the country. There are growers in

BOY, IL, STARTLES SINGERS

New York.-Among boy prodigies
Edward Roche Hardy, 12-year-old
Columbia freshman, may boast the
mastery of a dozen languages, and
Samuel Rzeschewski, 9-year-old Pol
ish chess wizard, recently checkmated
nineteen West Point strategists in a
row-but neither Of them can sing.
Robert Murray, II, of Tacoma.
WASH, can. Recently before a
group Of famous Metropolitan stars
including Nine. Frances Aida, who
"discovered" the youth last summer,
Murray not only reached with ease
the high notes in arias of Galli-Curci
and Tetrazzini fame, but, to the as
tonishment Of his hearers, he trans
posed those high notes to a higher
key and breathed them with equal
facility and resonance. The singers
who heard the performance asserted
that this was the highest note ever
reached by the human voice.

TRUE GRIMM ALFALFA
SEED is SCARCE

In most sections of the west and in
many sections of the middle west and
east there is an ever-increasing de-
mand for the seed of Grimm alfalfa
This demand has been due principally
to the ability of the Grimm to with
stand more severe winter conditions
than many of our common strains Of
alfalfa. Where the common alfalfa
has been unable to come through the
winter without big loss Of stand, the
Grimm is recommended. Results o:
the tests in New York, Pen asylvania,
Michigan, Wisconsin, the Dakotas,
Montana, Oregon and several sections
of Idaho have shown conclusively
that the Grimm variety is the one that
will most successfully withstand Sc
we're winter conditions.
Farmers wanting the Grimm seed
for their sowing are OF course anxious
to secure that which is ''True Grimm"
Grimm seed commands higher price
than seed of our common strains.
Examination of the growing plants is
the only means of telling the Grimm
from the common alfalfa. This con-
dition undoubtedly has allowed for
the sale of much common seed as
Grimm and it is not uncommon to hear
the statement that there is more
Grimm alfalfa seed sold than there is

TURK TAXES ARE HIGH
Levy 1929 on Cheapest of United

Up-SchooI Books Are Only

New York.-Turkish tax collectors
spare nothing from levles except
schoolboOks, and the assessments run
SO high that 10 cents pound is ex-
acted on all sugar, while a tax OF
1929 recently was demanded on an au-
tomobile that sells for $685. In the
United States.
These unterrified tax collectors have
hOlsted the rates to such an altitude
that the Near East Relief injected a
protest, its headquarters here was in
formed in a letter from one of their
workers In Samsoun, Armenia, about
300 miles from Constantinople.

are tattooed on the hands, forehead,

"Some of these girls will vanish

home, as some have done before them,
to find their way back to 1le Turkish
