WARN SEED FARMERS
OF SEED IMPURITIES

Montana farmers are
warned that seed grain that appears
perfectly clean to the eye and may
have no odor. is often infested with
smut. "The seeds or spores of smut
are too small to be seen without the
aid Of the microscope" explained w.
T. Giese, chief of the grain division
of the state department of agricul-
ture. Reports from the federal de-
partment of agriculture" he contin-
ued, "shOw infested grain in practic-
ally every county in the four north
west states for the last season. "There
is only one way to insure grain
against smut and that is to treat all
seed. Smut is everywhere in the
northwest this season. 1t lives thru
northwest winters only in smut balls
or on grain kernels, not in the soil.
Common, ordinary smut, the kind
prevalent in the northwest, is posi-
lively killed by proper treating seed
grain"

The dining car captain says some
how, there seems to be more land
down here, than by the northern
route" There is a great deal of
land. You could scatter a few New

track, and not crowd anybody. Not
to see Texas is not to know what
big country this is. 1t is like going
to the zoo and missing the elephant.

what this train does in ten; when
water is controlled and these miles,
and miles of land, brought under
intensive cultivation, produce food
enough for all the people on earth?
Over population? We have not start

NEAR the rim of Pecos canyon,
~ tall Texan sits erect on a white
horse, watching band of sheep, pa
tiently nibbling, changing thin
grass to mutton. "Sheep herder,"
says the young commercial traveller
who goes over this road every ninety
days. what in heavens name does
he do with himself, what pleasure
can he get out of life?"
Nothing but the whole earth
spread out before him, the sky above
him, sun and stars, and changing
clouds and leisure to think. Perhaps
he gets out Of life nearly as much as
does the commercial traveller, who
complains that he has had a bad
trip, because married men in the
tobacco factories make as little as
$40 a week. How can they raise
families on that, buy shoes for their
children" Also Of course, how can
they buy the travelling mans goods.
