FARMER MUST. HAVE

 SEED TO NEiGHBOR

OLYMPIA, Wn., Mar. 1S.-A farm CT may not lawfully sell seed direct to another for seeding purposes without a license from the director Of agriculture, according to a re- cent interpretation of the seed deal CTS license law, made by the attor- hey generals office.
 The question was brought by an Eastern Washington farmer who asked the director of agriculture if he could sell corn to his neighbors for seed without applying for deal CTS license.
 While it was unquestionably not the intention Of the legislature to require licenses of producers or farmers who, incidental to their other activities, sell agricultural seeds, the law would apply even in the case of farmers, the opinion held, The license law is police measure, aimed to protect the public against seed merchants, it was

 General Mitchell has been the most active influence in favor of aviation that the army has de- velCped. He has the sympathy of all the commercial concerns in trade and in aircraft and he has built up a following in congress. It, is an unusual situation in many re- spects for he risks the hostility of his superior officers by contra dieting them in the open. The war is amenable to congress because it must be. appropriations must come from congress and it so happens that General Mitchell has acquired in recent years number of friends on the congressional com mittee.

NOTES


Iron County's Fair success is still
being talked about-but in the course
Of the gossip and excitement per-
tanning to Bits or Nancy's winnings
We should not fail to include a few
more noteworthy companion winners
who were unintentionally left out Of
our long list last week. The addi-
tional blue ribbons went to the homes
Of Mr.. and Mrs. Olson, who live on
the Weber farm near Mercer, and 70
Mrs. Lee Wilcox Of Montreal.
1t is particularly interesting to
mention the many rather novel and
unique displays entered by the Oh
sons. Their entries included a home
made rug, 6x9 feet, worked with a
characteristic Swedish design, and it
was spun-dyed and woven on the
farm from wool grown on their own
flock Of sheep. In the same splendid
way and manner a pair Of golf socks
and sweater were knit worked with
star designs 1t is also a pleasure to
state that Mrs. Olson's wonderful
ability in the above field captivated
the attentions Of several Chicago
men, who have asked her to fit them
with golf apparel of her design and
making.
Further Mr.. Olson showed his
adeptness to handicraft in the way
Of a Swedish Wedding spoon carved
out of birch. He also won first
premium on a bundle of winter rye.
Mrs. Lee Wilcox Of Montreal, made
a very cOmmendable showing in the
division of Household Arts Her
linen work was especially fine.

Advantage of Winter Wheat

Many farmers in the county are
busy planting varying acreages Of
winter wheat this fall The red clay
district in the vicinity Of Saxon is
well adapted to both winter and
spring wheat Wheat does well on
heavy loans also, but it does not do
so well on the light soils According
to tests at the Ashland Experiment
station, the following two varieties
win bring best results under our CON
ditions, the Wisconsin pedigreed 408
and 1926.
Land intended for winter wheat
should be plowed as early as posi-
Bile, so as to give the soil time to
settle before actual seeding. A well
compacted seed bed is one of the
first requirements of wheat.
Winter wheat outyields spring
wheat in Wisconsin At the Ashland
Experiment Station, winter wheat
outyielded spring wheat by 80 bush
els.
Winter wheat is able to use plant
food in the soil more efficiently than
spring wheat. The fall grown crop
makes use Of the plant foods which
otherwise are leached out by autumn
rains and lost
Winter wheat excels as a nurse
crop. 1t is harvested earlier than
spring sown grain and thus gives the
clover crop, etc, better chance to
compete for food and moisture.
Winter wheat does not rust as
does spring wheat. The rust seldom
attacks winter wheat while spring
wheat is often damaged by it,
The seeding of winter wheat comes
in the fall while the seeding of spring
wheat comes at the time of the rush
of spring work Where help is hard
to get this is an important factor.
Winter wheat however is subject
to winter killing. When partly win
ter killed the wheat stools profusely
and usually good crop is secured.
While il winter wheat is winter
killed early oats may be sown to get
a new crop. On the other hand if
rust damages spring wheat badly
there is no way Of getting a crop the
same year

in his address on Governing the
Schools" For a teacher to govern
her school well, is to study the situa-
ton, concentrate upon it and work
it out well The kind of governing
we like to have differs, as we all have
different points of view. When
school begins, form a picture Of a
school you would like to have in case
a visitor were to come in, and try
to bring your school up to this ideal

to manage it, discipline them with

the schools, as illustrated by the
teacher who did not correct her pu-

Mr.. Murphy, superintendent of

moral virtue in the training of the
mental powers of the young genera

writer, Montaigne, who said, ITO him
who is not trained in the science of
virtue, all his knowledge ayails him
nothing" In the need and zeal for
a higher education, Mr.. Murphy con

against training our boys and girls
in better living, and any attempt to
separate our mental power from our
moral power would be a mistake.

SO that they will have reverence for
the things that are holy and good in

enjoyed them.
The teachers also enjoyed the vo-
