SEED TESTS MADE FREE.

Manhattan, Kas. Feb. 16,-Free
termination tests of farm seeds are
made for residents of Kansas by the
seed laboratory Of the agricultural
college. A large number of farmers
take advantage Of this service every
year.
For termination tests samples Of
not less than 200 of the common farm
seeds should be supplied according
to Prof. L. E. Call, head of the agron-
omy department. These samples
should be addressed: Seed Labora-
tory, Agronomy Department, Kansas
State Agricultural College, Man
haitian, Kansas.
It requires approximately two
weeks to complete and report back
termination tests. This amount Of
time should be allowed for reports on
any samples submitted.
The seed laboratory will also make
purity tests of alfalfa and grass seed.
It is important in purchasing grass
and alfalfa seed to know that the
seed contains no troublesome weeds.
This can easily be determined by hav-
ing samples examined for purity be-
fore the seed is sown, or better yet,
before it is purchased.

WARN OF GREEN BUG OUT.
BREAK.

Manhattan, Kas. Feb. 16.-Within
the last few DAYS many inquiries
have come to the Kansas State Agri-
cultural college for information on
the probability of a green bug out
break this srring, according to Mr..
George Dean state entomologist. AL
ready several notices have appear
ed IN papers that have caused consid-
cradle alarm. The facts in the case
are that at the present time no green
bugs have been taken in the Kansas
wheat fields. None has been report
ed from Oklahoma as yet. But in
five of the northern counties of Tex
Tas there is a threatening infestation.
Just what the development may be
within the next few weeks no one can
say at this time.
"For several weeks the climatic
conditions throughout Kansas, Okla
homa, and northern Texas have been
favorable for the green bug" Mr..
Dean says. "Should we have a cold.
backward spring, we have good rea-
sons to expect an outbreak. Every
year since the introduction of the
green bug in the southwest there has
been in the early winter and spring
local infestations in Texas and some
other districts of the southwest, al
though with the exception of two or
three occasions they have not been
as serious as the one in northern
Texas is at present.
"In the meantime, while we are
waiting for DEVELOPMENTS, every
wheat grower and every county farm
bureau man in Kansas and Oklaho-
ma should examine the wheat fields
carefully and if plant lice of any
sort are found they should be sent to
pertinent station for determination.

Time Lost.

Solons Will Endeavor to Make Up for
Time Lost.
oTpeka, Feb. 16.-The Kansas leg
islature Monday, went into the sixth
week of the season without a single
law Of statewide Importance having
been put on the statute books and
realization that much time had been
spent and very little done was
probably responsible for the speed
ing up efforts that were being made.
From now on, the house will con-
vene every morning at 8 o'clock in
stead Of 10 and the senate Showed
some speed" Monday when 1t conven-
ed at 2 o'clock in the afternoon in
stead Of four.
One of the reasons for the poor
showing that has been made is the
large amount Of time devoted to the
administrations industrial court d.
vorce proceedings. Bills, divorcing
the court and reestablishing the utili-
ties commission, have held the atten-
ton of the lawmakers for weeks and
these bills still are some distance
from the statute books
Although bills to carry cut the gov
erEor's Program have oen passed by
both tcuses, trey are not the same
bills and the differences will have to
be ironed out. Conference commit
tees have been appointed in both
touses 70 undertake this task.
From now on much Of the legis-
!atures time will be taken up with
az Precipitation measures.

REASONS FOR The
EQUITY GRAIN POOL

Farmers need no better argument
to convince them of the utility of a
pool upon which they can obtain a
certain advance in cash than the
bearish news that certain grain trade
journals are now circulating, says a
statement by the Equity Grain Grow
ers Pool, a Minneapolis trade paper
says:
"The real trouble with the markets
is that around $50, 200, 900 bushels
cash wheat is pressing on the Amer
lean markets, the actual supply in
the visible and in the hands of mills
and in country elevators on October
l being officially reported at 211,-
GOO, 900 bushels"
OF this leash wheat"that is press
ing IN the market a vast volume of it
is the 'stored wheat that farmers
have taken to local elevators. When
country elevators are full of wheat,
they ship it out, sell it, put the mon
ey in their bank accounts Tor leave
it on deposit with their commission
IOllP dlllSSj anu lliSy SApSCb " NC
able to buy back enough of this
wheat to meet the demands of any
farmers who present their storage
ticket for redemption.
But when this stored wheat is thus
sold it becomes a part of the pressure
on the market, just as the overselling
of futures, otherwise known as grain
gambling does. 1t helps lower the
price of the grain left in the farmers
hands. If the above mentioned Min
neapolis grain trade journal is cor
rect IN its analysis, then this press
ure would have been relieved if that
$50, 900, 600 bushels could have been
pooled and not thrown onto the mar
ket that is already glutted.
The Equity Grain Pool is accomp-
that result, bringing the grain
together and holding it off the mark
ct. Over a million and a quarter
bushels have been pledged and a
great deal has already been shipped
and is now in actual storage in Min
neapolis, Mimi, and Superior, Wis.
A farmer who has grain either in
MS granary or stored in elevators for
which he holds storage tickets, is alb
to get an advance of sixty per cent
If the local value and not be forced
market his grain on this %ruinous-
y low market.
