Idaho State Seed
Laboratory Aims
To Assist Growers

The purpose OF the IDAHO State
Seed Laboratory is primarily educa-
tional. 1t is a place where the far
mer can be instructed in growing
good quality seed: where he can
have weeds and weed seeds identi-
fed; where he can be informed
what to demand of the hullers;
where he can learn the Importance
of taking a representative sample;
where he can have his sample tes-
ted for purity and graded; where
the seedsmen may receive aid when
selecting their stocks for Idaho
trade, thus insuring compliance with
Idaho laws and assisting in the pro-
duction of good seed.
Small seed growing has now be-
come a real industry in Idaho. Her
winnings on red clover, alsike clover
and timothy seed at the Internation-
al hay and grain show recently held
in Chicago is proof of high quality.

Goose Creek Basin and
Artesian Water and
Petroleum

Some have asked for an in
depreciation of the report, re-
published in last weeks Her
aid, as to the geological indica-
tions of Goose creek. The ge-
ologist who made the report
thought that artesian water
could be developed in large
quantities, but that prospects
for petroleum were scant.
So far as artesian water is
concerned, we agree with the
geologist heartily and even up
roariously. II you don 'tbelfeve
in the artesian water resources
of Goose creek basin, go up
yourself and taken a look-and
take a drink, You will find the
water coming out of the wells
with such force that a cannon
ball would no more sink in it
than would an autumn leaf.
AS to oil, here is the situa-
ton in a nutshell: If there is
mt oil there. thousand favor
able reports by biologists
couldn't put IL there; IL there
is oil there, ten thousand unfa-
vorable reports by geologists
couldn't take it away. Mean
while drilling will be resumed
at the wells-we hope soon,
but, on account of past exper-
ience with delays, we no longer
set dates.

Every Day, in Every Way,
Times Are Getting
Better and Better

We make no apologies to
Coue, for this is really an ap-
plication of his slogan, Every
day, In every way, / am getting
better and better" AS to the
times at present, there can be
no doubt that the heading
above this article expresses the
facts. Ask the merchants. The
holiday trade was excellent and
the general financial situation
is incomparably better than it
was last January.
1t is reported that 600 peo-
pie attended the picture shows
at The Orpheum Theatre We'd
nesday. That is good sign.
If people are able to enter
intellectually into play and
amusement, theer is a chance
for them to do some real work.
There is no better tonic for the
morale of community than
play.
The Herald promised to print
some important New Year reso-
lutions this week. This we
must postpone till next week,
as the resolutions are not quite
ready. We are sure you will
like them when you see them.

Her climate produces the best col
ored field seeds in the world. On ac-
count of this color, Idaho seed is
used for blending with old seed and
eastern-grown seed of bac color in
order to bring up its quality. East
ern seedsmen cannot afford to use
our high quality seed for straight
retail trade because of the high
price it commands.
Idaho seeds are increasing in pu-
rity This years record of the State
Seed Laboratory shows only 26 per
cent of the samples received were
condemned, as compared to 54 per
cent in 1920 and 43 per cent in 1921
Red clover and alfalfa seed must be
at least 95 per cent pure and con-
tain not more than 81 noxious weed
seeds per pound. Dodder and green
fox-tail are the worst weeds we have
The latter is sometimes found in
red clover up to 35 per cent.
