SAN QUENTIN, Calf. Feb. 10
Harry S. New, reputed son OF the
United States senator of that name,
today began in the prison here his
detail of hard labor that must con-
tinue for an indeterminate period be-
yond ten years.
New was found by the prison doc
tors to be in good physical health. He
was Immediately assigned to work IN
the 1ute mill. An attempt had been
made to save New from this assign
ment on the grounds that the WORK
would be Injurious to his lungs.
The man who on July four .mur-
dered his sweetheart, pretty Frieda
Lesser and then delivered the body to
police headquarters, has maintained
his stolid demeanor in prison ana thus
far has made few friends, If any.
New must start work every morn
ing at seven o'clock weaving bags. He
will have forty-five minutes off for
lunch and will end his labor at four
thirty. He wears a uniform OF blue
ish grey, much resembling the ordi'
nary postman's suit.

This seed testing offers excellent
opportunities for problems in per-
centage of viability.
It is especially important to test
seeds that have been held over from
previous years. It is worth while,
however, to have pupils test samples
of all seeds.

seeds of the lot you wish to test. Roll
them into the cloth until they are
covered. Add another set from anoth-
er lot and roll. Continue until all
samples of all the lots of seeds are
enclosed. Fold the ends of the roll
together toward the center: place in
the jar. Add small amount of wa
ter to keep the rag moist. Perfor-
ate the top of the jar and screw it on.
Place in a warm place. Keep a
record of the date. In few days un-
roll the doll carefully and examine
the seeds. If the termination pro-
cess is not far enough along, return
it to the jar. Note carefully the ger
mination power OF the seeds from
time to time. Good seeds terminate
equally, quickly, vigorously. Discard
seed which shows signs of low vital
ity.
1t is true that plump, bright, large
seeds may be full of vitality, yet,
without the test, there is large pos
sibility. for crop failure.
