The grains of seed wheat, besides
being all Of one variety, should also be
heavy, plump and spherical and free
from dirt, weed seeds, or Injured, sick
or immature kernels.
The seed promotes stooling and the
production of spring plants and bene-
fits yield and quality of grain as well
as making sitter straw. In small
or shriveled seed there is insufficient
food supply or an imperfectly devel-
oped grain, SO the plants from such
seed usually have not the power to live
although the seed may sprout quite
successfully.
Therefore the wise farmer will see
that his seed is recleaned thoroughly.
One of the most profitable things to do
is run the seed through a tanning mill
a second time so that the kernels will
all be the same size, which will enable
them to get an even start and mature
at the same time.

Red Durum wheat. known as ID"
put out some years ago has been found
to be dismal failure on account of
lack Of milling quality.
There is much of it offered for sale
this year for seed. 1t made pretty
fair crop and went through rust fairly
well, but there was no market for it
last. year except the government which
millers did not want it, the macaroni
men did not want it. so all that was
left for 1t was to sell 1t at big dis
count for grinding into chicken feed.
The Redwood gazette., 1920-02-25

Beware of it. 1t is positive men
ace. 1t is not a Durum nor Fife, al
though crossbred from them both.
While it is called Red Durum, 1t should
not he confounded with Kubanka, At.
nautka and other amber Durums
which, while their market is limited
are excellent for macaroni,, etc.
There Is no market for so-cailed
rust proof wheat. Do not seed IL
under any circumstances. 1t is no
good. 1t is not only worthless itself
but If it becomes mixed with your
other grain. it will ruin it.

1000 additional workmen. The
company is now able to do only
emergency repair work.

REwARDING HONESTY.

A New York boy picked up in the
street an order authorizing bearer
to carry away $1,200,000 worth OF
bonds. On returning it where it be.
longed, he was given reward OF
only $500. The concern probably
felt that virtue is it's own reward.
and that people ought to be willing
to do the right thing and expect mo-
thing for it. =,
However, some people will say
that such case might have furnish
ed occasion for showing that homes
ty is appreciated. Those who mis-
lay valuables might well fine them
selves substantial amount for
their carelessness, by giving gen.
erous gratuity.
Every time aboy gets recognition
for doing an honest thing when ne
may have been tempted to some
thing else, it helps prove that homes
ty pays. Also that the world ap-
preciates those who play the game
straight.
