The Red
Clover Crop
G. B. Allison
State Seed Commissioner


The preliminary statement from
the 1891 annual report on Idaho ag-
ricuiture completed by the Idano
Crop Reporting serciye and coop
Grating agencies shows that $780,
O0O pounds Of red clover were pro-
dueed in Idaho this last season from
1S 900 acres at value of $43.SS
per acre. Practically all OF this
seed has been shipped out Of the
state.
Seed laboratory tests show that
SO per cent OF the Red Glover sam
pies received for analysis were con-
demned on account of noxious weed
seeds. The presence OF noxieus
weeds, principally dodder in red
clover this season has resulted in a
loss to the growers OF approximately
100000. This is an enormous sum
lost by carelessnes in buying eed for
planting and in caring for the field
before harvest.
The growers have realized the i'm
Iportance Of clean seed this past sea
son, as the quality OF the seed deter
mined the price received for it. A
large acreage Of clover will be plant
ed this spring and consequently seed
will be shipped into the state from
all sources. II is up to the farmers
adm dealers in this state to purchase
a first class product, in other words,
seed which liz dodder free and con-
forms to the requirements Of the
State Seed Law. A lot Of seed la
beled 99.6 per cent pure is no guar
antee that that lot Of seed will pass
the state seed laws. 1t may contain
in excess of 81 noxious weed seeds
or pound and consequently be CON
demned.
Each lot Of seed should be labeled
as follows:
(a) Name Of agricultural seed.
(b) Name and address OF the
person selling, offering and exposing
for sale such seed.
Cd Grade, date Of grade and
grader.
(dl The kinds and number per
pound Of noxious weed seeds con-
tanned therein, using their common
names.
II the purchased ia dubious about
the quality Of the seed which he may
have purchased, 1t is a simple mat
ter to send q two-ounce sample to the
State Seed Laboratory for nalysis
Thiss ervice is rendered free of
charge to the grower. The point is,
get your seed early. Purchase it
from a reliable source and IL in
doubt submit a sample to the State
seed Laboratory, Boise.
: A few cents an acre for seed that
is free from noxious weeds is q pro-
fitable investment This expendi-
ture can be prorated over period of
two or three years. Experiments
show that weed seeds live much lon
ger than do the seeds OF economic
crops. There Is an old adage which
runs as follows: zone years seed
ing demands seven years. wedding. :"
This Is true OF weed seeds. Pay the
price for good seed and save the ex-
pense of hiring additional help to cut
the weeds out later. Save the enor-
nous loss incurred by weeds. Idaho
is the greatest SEED producing state
in the Union. Improve the quality
BY planting seed which passes the
state requirements.

Boys and Girls Club Work

There is a wide interest thru
out the state in the boys and girls
club work and the contest at the

winners in the districts will COM
pete at the state fair for the state

guest of the management for the
week and enjoy the privileges of
the grounds for that time. There
will be about 40 to so boys and
girls in the camps with their
chaperones and state leader will

err ground that arouses antagon-
isns from other sources.
For instance, the resolutions 90
outside road problems and take up
proposal to abolish the y mill levy
for reclamation work. 1t is pointed
out that the Smith cNary bill will
soon become a law, but its effect
may not be felt in Washington for
some time; also there is a bright
prospect for the Columbia Basin
project, but the fight is not yet
won. Therefore, aside from all
other considerations, some argue
that the state should continue its
aid to reclamation at least until the
federal government can take over
the load rather than abandon all
that has been gained thus far. The
resolutions also propose to aban-
don a partially finished capitol
building that will ultimately be
paid for out of the capitol land
grant.
A suggestion that does not seem
to be clear to those who are build
ing roads is proposal that labor
rate on roads should conform to
rates paid by farmers and other
seasonal labor. As matter of fact
the state does little road work on
its own account, most construction
being by contract, and the contrac-
tors pay what they have to.
A repeal of the public and perm
anent highway tax levies is sug-
gested with the proposal of SUBJ
stituting an extra one cent per
gallon on gasoline. The extra cent
would not raise as much money as
now yielded by taxation to the pub
lie highway fund alone. A flat
auto tax, including drivers lie
ense law is proposed. In enforc-
ing the drivers license law it is
found that good many drivers do
not own a car.
While the state officials Who have
to do with road work have no in
tention of trying to influence a
convention, sentiment favors let
ting the public know some of the
things that are suggested for ac-
ton.
