The Wolf Point herald. (Wolf Point, Mont.) 1913-1940, 1924-04-03

There were 29 laboratories making the check tests in 1920; 20 in 1921
81 in 1922 and 81 in 1928. OF these laboratories, 20 in the United States
and two in Canada were classified a Certified Seed Testing Laboratories
in 1923.
During the ten years service of the Montana Seed Testing Laboratory
it has tested 1908 samples for farmers IN all parts ot the state DURING
Whitcomb, have been closely identified with the effort in this country to
make "Seed safe for sowing" The laboratory has been n of the pioneers
in seed testing work and many of its practices have been adopted as stand
ard. In the short time that the work has beer carried o in the state, the
laboratory has accumulated n of the finest collections offs seed samples in
the country, including 800 different weed seeds, 200 crop seeds 1874
varieties of wheat.
The following are a few cases showing the service of the laboratory,
taken from the thousands of requests that have beer made for it's service.
A farmer sent a sample Of seed in for testing, labeled meadow fescue."
since meadow fescue is o expensive than wheat grass.
A sample marked Timothy and alsike" vas found to contain timothy
and lambs quarter No asike a present.
A sample of "sweet clover" was found to be SO per cent alfalfa. This
was in the days before the distinguishing marks between the two were
generally known.
A number of instances have been observed where red durum wheat
which has poor milling qualities, vas sold to farmers as Marquis wheat
In some of these cases the mistake ws not discovered until the crop had
headed out and the heads found to be bearded.
In one case a farmer bought seed wheat which was supposed to be
durum. When the crop came up his neighbor informed him that it was
winter wheat, A sample of the seed sown taken from the grain drill and
to the laboratory for testing was found to contain: 81 per cent of hard
red winter wheat, 2I4 per cent durum wheat, IL per cent hard red spring
wheat, 4 per cent oats, SIS per cent inert matter, 55 per cent rye, and rs
per cent weed seeds.
In many cases the laboratory is no. called upon until the damage has
been done. The farmer who plants durum wheat when he thinks he isl
planting MARQUIS and does not discover his mistake until the grain heads
out, obviously is not going to profit a great deal by his discovery, as far as
he present crop is concerned. However, tn mn who goes through an
of this kind, never takes any more chances on doubtful seed. It'll
S altogether probable that he Immediately joins that eyerincreasing num-
Der of farmers who depend upon the Montana Seed Testing Laboratory at
3ozeman to tell them the truth about their seeds.

~ even the "fundamentaists' and the "modernsts' can find little
4 "A to argue about. AS long al this remains true it is going to be an
important part of the farmers business to know what kind OF seed he is
going to ". Unfortunately there are those who sci seed who are not any
too,careful about the kind of seed they re selling, and the farmer who buys
such seed does OF always get what III wants The SEED hi was planted
for Marquis wheat sometimes turns out to be durum, alfalfa is found to
be sweet clover occasionally, and bare spots sin the corn field re mute wit
nesses to the fact that all seed does not grow a intended
AS long as these things occur, and it looks as though 1t may re quite
a while before we reach the millennium when only pure, dependable seed
will be sold, the farmer is going to have to watch his seed pretty closely,
and he is going to need a good reliable ource Of Information where h e may
find ut whether his seed is good, bad " Indifferent.
For that reason the recent announcement that the Montana Seed Test
ing Laboratory at Bozeman las beer given a certified rating by the Asso-
citation Of Official Seed Analysts of North America, giving it the honor of
being one of the 20 certified laboratories in the country, is important The
farmers of Montana may send their seed samples to their laboratory with
the assurance that whatever analyses are made will be as nearly 100 per
cent perfect al can be obtained anywhere in the United States.
The certfication of the Montana laboratory also meal that the purity
and termination tests made there will be recognized by the best laboratories
in the country. This is important as it means the standardization Of seed
testing work, and that eventually all states will recognize the san rules
and regulations in defining good and poor seed.
A part of the examination which led up to the cTtifcaton of the labor
atory had to do with the actual testing If seed samples, parts of which
samphs we're also sent to- other laboratories for check tests. To illus
trate how closely the Montana teds checked with those of the other states
the following table is given. The tests werem made with alfalfa seed:

FERGUS FARMERS HAVE OWN
FOR MARKETIN THEIR HOGS

The loading of two cars of porkers
from Fergus county vas noted the
other day, II car being loaded at
Suffolk, and the other at Winifred.
The farmers of those sections, while
they have not yet formed a regular
cooperative shipping association,
handle the consignments in the same
manner as in the case where those
associations do exist.
Through this joint method of mar
keting, the farmers of the Winifred
section have shipped out two cars
of hogs during the last two months,
while this last consign ment was the
third community shipment from Win
fired. Under the plan of shipping
followed by the farmers of those sec
tions, the stock, after Reaching the
loading stations are handled by n
man, a small fee being charged for
his work in this connection.
The hogs are branded by clip
ping the HEAR with shears, and no
trouble has been experienced in sort
ing. 1t seems possible that in a COM
paratively short time the big ship
ments from those two sections will
exceed the number of cars of cattle,
with indications pointing in other
parts of the county before a great
length of time.

Of the pleas advanced for the

Colonel Sanders surmised this

HEREFORD SALE
AT GREAT FALLS

IN APRIL "a, 1924, at the Mon.
tana Livestock Pavilion at Great
~ Falls, the Elk Run Ranch OF
Highwood, and the Wales Ranch OF
Spion Kop, will sell at private sale
so head of registered Hereford cat
tie. The proprietors of these two
great breeding establishments need
no Introduction, being, respectively,
W. L. Velie, the automobile manu-
f%acturer of Moline, Illinois, and L..
Chatterton Of Spion Kop, president
of the Montana Hereford Breeders
association.
This being the first auction sale of
these two ranches, the managers have
spared no effort to make it a note
worthy event in Hereford annals. To
that end they have entered thirty-two
bulls and twenty-eight cows, of the
blood most fashionable in Hereford
dom, including that of Domino, Beau
Picture, Perfection, Don Perfect,
Beau Baltimore, Repeater, Beau
Blanchard, and other great history
making sires.
The animals entered will be the
progeny mostly for the Wales Ranch
of Royal Perfection %(756405), by A..
B. Cooks great bull, Beau Perfec-
ton 9th; Manly Picture 9Th (902,-
591), by Velie's Manly Picture; and
Grandview (~695871), a bull by Gud-
CELL & Simpsons Beau Picture, which
has been used with success in the
Chatterton herd. For the Elk Run
Ranch, Manly Picture %(557976), i
Bright Picture (6S4298) and other
well known bulls.
AS a special attraction the Elk Run
ranch will offer one of their herd
bulls, Bright Picture (684298) sired
by Manly Picture (~557976) out of
Bright Duchess list (~438805) by
Domino. This bull is now six years
old and in prime breeding condition
"a tried and proven sire. A great
number of his daughters and half
sisters left on the Elk Run ranch
some 35 in all-preclude his being
used there any longer. This will
therefore be a chance for some pure
bred establishment to obtain a tried
sire, worthy of a place as herd bull
in any herd.
There will be t~wo-year-old bulls
ready for service for the stock man;
herd bull material for the registered
breeder, and a choice selection of
cows with calves at foot, and young
bred heifers.
These cows are being sold at a E
time when, from the purchasers
standpoint, prices have never been =,
more attractive, and yet they are E
thoroughly representative of the best
from the Elk Run ranch and the '
Wales ranch. 7
The terms of the sale will be cash /
and there will be no %by-bidding. Any
animal that goes in the ring will be 4
sold at the price the stockmen place Y
upon it. Therefore, this is an OPP s
portunity to buy cattle of probably r
the best quality ever offered at an Y
in Montana, at exactly the n
the stockman thinks they are
1t has been a pronounced h
feature of the last two years that the n
cattle of great quality have sold for q
high prices at Chicago and other mar II
and that the medium or low a,
grade kind have practically been ie
away. The use of such bulls h.
IS will be sold at this sale will in a p
hort time, used in a herd, produce :
he kind of cattle that bring the n
ighest prices.

AN OPPORTUNITY

The tax commissions which Governor Nestos proposes
to appoint in several sections of the state will have an
opportunity render large and important service to the
state One of the difficulties Of tax-makng is that the
ramifcatons of tax system SO great that compar
atvey few moved to protest praise except they
individually affected The tax studying committees
in their various sections gather the figures concerning
the tax burden they show how has been shifted in
the last several years. how have increased and who
is paying them They show that every citizen needs to
make himself familiar with tax problems and that every
bond every Improvement every extension of the unc
tons of is reflected in his tax BILL whether he
pays additional taxes directly not And if the situation
is brought home forcby every citizen great beginning
will be made toward again placing taxes
basis.
And after all has been said and done the remedy for tax
reduction is simple and apparent The reduce
is by supporting only the essentials of government and elm
mate expensive experiments.
