Importers Flood U. S. with
Unadapted Seed.

A very serious situation confronts
farmers today with respect to import
ed seed. Europe is dumping millions
of tons of southern grown clover and
alfalfa seed upon our markets and
certain INSCRIPTIONS interests are
passing the stuff off on our farmers,
knowing full well that it will almost
certainly winter kill.
The farmer is stuck in that he
can't always tell when making a seed
purchase whether he is getting i'm
ported seed, a mixture of imported
and home grown, or good seed. Only
one concern in the whole country
guarantees the origin of its seed-the
Michigan State Farm Bureau.
The seriousness of the situation
may be realized when actual figures
are cited. During the IL months end
ing May 81, 1921, more than 1885,
600 pounds Of French and Italian
Red Clover entered American ports.
During the week ending June 4, more
than THREE MILLION POUNDS of
this non-adapted seed entered the
country. The question is who is get
ting it and planting it?
Virginia has just completed a
series of tests at her experiment sta
ton which show conclusively that
French and Italian clover seed will
not stand the rigors of even Vir-
ginia Winter. Indiana, after trial,
condemned the stuff.

selves by giving no warranty, ex-
pressed or implied, as to description,

In June, 1920, many orchards in

been burned with fire, the green por.

the stems and midribs of the leaves.
This is the work of the insect referred

A country grain and poultry show
is being planned by prominent poul-
trymen and grain growers co-operat-
ing with the County Agricultural
Agent j. V. Sheap, to be held in Ow-
osso some time in the Fall. probably
early in October. A meeting of all
interested poultry men and Grain
Growers of the County will be held
at an early date, at which time COM
mittees will be appointed and plans
will be gotten under way.
1t is expected that the show will
be three or four days affair, with
something doing every minute.
Among the prominent features will
be poultry judging contest, corn
Smelling contest, guessing contests
and prominent speakers to address
the audience each day.
Competent judges will be secured
for both poultry and grains and ap-
propriate prizes will be awarded.
There should be some keen COM
petition in the various classes of corn,
grain and poultry. Now is the time
to make plans for exhibiting at this
show.

quality, productiveness, or any other
matter on any seeds they send out.
Realizing the importance Of
adapted seed, which is really of more
Importance than purity, the Michigan
State Farm Bureau seed department
has taken a drastic step in protecting
the interests of members by adopting
guarantee as to the origin, adapta-
bility, vitality and purity of all seeds
sent out as Farm Bureau brand of
seed.
The seed department handles only
MICHIGAN GROWN clover and
alsyke. We buy both Grimm and
Common alfalfa in the Northwest,
where the Winters are much more
severe than those of Michigan.
Farm Bureau brand seeds are sold
only through cooperative elevators
and associations and County Farm
Bureaus. They reduce the farmers
risk to a minimum.

LIVESTOCK DYING
IN CROWDED CARS
Animals Must Be Kept Cool to Avoid
Huge Losses, Warns M. A. c.
Specialist.

East Lansing, July 5-Thousands
Of head of hogs and other livestock
will be lost in Michigan and other
surrounding states during the next
four months unless measures APE
taken to prevent overcrowding and
consequent overheating Of animals
being shipped to market, according
to Frof. G. A. Brown, head of the
animal husbandry department at M.
A. G..
More than 1000 hogs on their way
to the Chicago yards died in single
week during recent spell of hot
weather due to overcrowding, it is
said. Losses such as these are caus-
ed for the most part by careless hand
ling by the farmer in getting his stock
to the shipping station, overlooking
just, before shipping, overlooking the
care and not having the cars properly
cleaned and bedded.
Livestock in preparation for ship
ment should be given only a moder-
ate feed for the IL hours preceding
loading" says Prof. Brown. eek
IRENE care should be taken at all
times not to get the animals unduly
excited and overheated. With the
extreme high freight rates prevail
ing at present, the tendency with all
shippers is to crowd as many animals
into car as possible. This is poor
practice during the summer months,
especially so in shipping hogs. The
gain made by obtaining full weights
will be far more than offset by the
losses incurred.
Before shipment, all manure
should be cleaned out of the cars,
and in the case of hogs it is best
to bed the cars with sand or any other
soil, except a slippery clay. Straw
should not be used during the sum-
mer months. Hogs should not be
shipped without plentiful supply
of ice to keep the car COOL"
