CARE IN SEED SELECTION
OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE

The Pennsylvania Department of Ag-
riculture is endeavoring to impress
upon the farmers of the State, the ne
cessity of securing first grade seed for
their spring planting. Following is a
statement on the seed situation by Or.
E. M. Gress, State Botanist, who has
been placed in charge of seed inspec-
ton work by Secretary of Agriculture
Fred Rasmussen:
"The yield of farm crop depends
upon conditions. One of these con-
ditions which the farmer quite fire.
quently overlooks or underestimate
sthat of good seed.
MANY INSCRIPTIONS and dishonest
seed merchants sell to the farmer
seeds. Mhich are low in percentage OF
purit and ermination. If, for ex
ample, the farmer sows seed that is
only 80 per cent pure and only 70 pei
cent of the pure seed terminates, ne
secured only So per cent of what he
expects. In other words, only Is pei
cent more than half of full stand
or he must SOW just twice as much
seed to secure full stand.
IF the farmer wants 100 per cent
crop. and he does. then he should sec
to IL that he is oswing seed that is
nearly 100 per cent pure and will test
100 per cent termination. The farmer
should also know the source Of seed he
sows. In many cases, seeds that come
from a different soil and different eli

ROADS TO CONNECT
SNOW MOUNTAINS

Port Blakely, Wash.-Their submits
crowned with the SHOWS of milleniums,
Mt. Baker, Mt. Rainier, Nit. Adams
and Mt Hood stand like giant senti-
nels along the western border and
look out for the tops of the Olympics
toward the western ocean.
In the center of what is to become
one, of the worlds great play grounds,
stands Mt. Adams. On a direct line
it is thirty-nine miles from Mt. Rainier
to Mt. Adams. A proposed hi hway
through the national forest will con-
meet the two mountains, and be one of
he great scenic highways of the world.
Here glaciers still move with steady
flow, and natures God has worked
wonders.
The summit of Mt. Adams lifts H.
207 feet into the blue; one mile above
the snow line, and over 5000 feet above
New England's famous peak, Mt.
Washington. The tourist may go to
the snow line in his automobile and
from there climb to the summit by
easy stages. .
The ice caves at Trout Lake, near
the base of Mt. Adams, attract people
from far and near. In the early part
of the summer, columns of ice, as large
around as mans body, seem to brace
the arches above.
Still nearer to the base of the noun
tain is the lava cave. He who would
enter, descends about fifty feet and
finds himself in great cavern. With
its various curves and windings it is a
mile in length, about forty feet from
floor to roof and twenty-five to thirty
| feet wide.
Five hours and half by auto from
Portland Ore, brings one into the
heart of this region. After the pro-
posed highway is built, it will be just
little longer journey from Seattle and
all the way through wonderland.

STANDARD BARRELS

The regulations providing standard
barrels for fruits, vegetables and other
farm products in Pennsylvania go into
effect December 16.
This means that the United States
Standard Barrels and legal subdivis-
ions thereof, for fruits, vegetables and
other farm products are the standards
for Pennsylvania. All these barrels
must be marked to show the capacity
in terms of the standard barrel and the
anne and address of the packer.
These marks must be plainly and con-
spicuously branded or stenciled in
blac kink on the outside of one end
Of the barrel, or in some equally con-
spicuous place, in block letters and
figures the size of thirty-six point
Gothic type or larger.
There is no accepted abbreviation
for the word standard, so the marking
now required on barrels is as follows
