he knows Ia right there win be no
question about Maine holding the
prestige which is regaining in the
seed trade. II on the other hand the
oid-time INSCRIPTIONS dealers get in
their work we will receive another
setback. The State Department of
Agriculture will receive the closest
cooperation from all agricultural
agencies in it's work and must have
the cooperation of the grower to put
over this 1924 program which calls for
so much more work than ever before.
AT the close of business on Satur-
day. April 26th, there had been filed
with the State Department Of Agri-
culture, applications for inspection on
II, 1893 acres. The date for final filing
of applications is June 18th and a
study Of the available figures show
that before the last mentioned date
the total number Of acres will proba-
bly, be in the neighborhood Of 10000.
1.-The poiats that are going to be
brought out in this article, however,
will be true no matter what the en-
tered acreage may be. The attention
OF those who are contemplating grow
ing seed for inspection this year is
specifically called to the following
facts.
'First, there will be many disap-
pointments. BY this is meant that
somewhere between so and So per cent
of the total acres entered will fail to
pass the field inspection. Five per
cent of those passing the field in
spections will be rejected on account
of type and size and beyond this is
the usual twelve to seventeen per cent
for grading. Many men will purchase
seed that passed certification in 1928
and file an application this year. Some
Of this stock will pass and some Of it
will not. A great many growers are
under the impression that seed once
having passed certification should
pass forever but such Is not the case
for the different diseases increase
from year to year and sometimes very
rapidly and eventually reach the point
beyond that allowed by certification
rules. For example carrying three

chance to pass. The aphids which
transmit Mosaic and Leaf-roll were
no worse last season than common
but the conditions spoken of are true
in an average year. There is, how
ever, this much to be said. The man
who purchases certified seed with the
intention of having 1t certified this
year will in all proba bility receive a
dividend in increased yield and there
fore make a good move in changing
his seed.
"Other disappointments will be
caused by some growers who have
seed from different sources planting
their good seed alongside that which
will not meet certification require
ments. The advice of the department
is to separate your different lots of
seed by as great a distance as your
farm will allow. There will be no ar
guments then when the inspector
comes about distances or about the
disease percentages in your different
lots. The regulations put out by the
department say that fields entered for
certification must be ESQ feet from
other stock carrying more than a
passing allowance for Mosaic and
Leaf-roll. This rule is quite gener-
ally known among our seed gorwers
now and it is hoped that there will be
nc discussion this year when the in
spector visits the growers AS to
whether or not the grower can grow
in on a field $50 feet to make his GER
titled seed eligible. This will not he

So the elk starve in large num-
bers.
For the past few years ranchers
and the government have been
feeding hay to the helpless elk. But
1t is pointed out, this is only tenn
porary relief to a small portion of
the animals. 1t is permanent re-
lief that is needed.
The Walton League has initiated
a campaign to raise the funds
with which to purchase the nat
ural elk ranges from the cattle
men. The ranges have never been
good cattle ranges. The cattle
men are willing to sell out to the
public.
The movement to purchase these
ranges for their former occupants,
the elk, was started recently by
the sportsmen of the country and
is being carried on from coast to
coast showing the widespread in
terest in the elk, one of the last
OF the big American animals to
survive in any numbers.
The purpose of the land purchase
will be to not only save the elk,
but to make the Jackson Hole
country natural memorial to the
old west, it is pointed out.
The bison," said Will H. Dig,
president of the Izaak Walton Lea
que, recently, was given a monu-
ment of skulls and bleaching
bones. We must give the elk a
memorial of life"
The move is advocated by virtu-
ally all big game hunters, writer's,
and conservationists in the United
States and the campaign has taken
on the proportions of national
crusade among sportsmen.
Headquarters of the campaign
are at the Izaak Walton League
national Offices, 536 Lake Shore
Drive, Chicago, but all local chap
tiers of the organization are active
IN their various communities.
