PURE SEED Is
GREAT STEP TO
BETTER CROPS
State Seed Commissioner Au.
thorized TO Aid Those Wish.
ing Seed Certified

Fargo, N. d., April ll.-t41---
Standa rdizcd registered certified
seed is the next great step in crop
Improvement in North Dakota in the
opinion of H. l.. Bollcy, state seed
commissioner. Bollcy has charge Of
the work Of putting into operation
the new state law which provides for
field crop inspection, seed ccrtifica-
ton and seed listing. The new
statute goes into effect July /.
mo one is compelled to have seed
certified" said Bollcy. 1.-THE law
simply authorizes the state seed
commissioner, who has charge of the
state pure seed laboratory. to aid
citizens who wish to have their seed
certified. II prcscribes penalties to
be applied to persons. firms, corpor-
atoms or agents who in anv way
modify or falsify tho work Of seed
ccrtification. It makes the ccrtifica-
tion of seed duty of the pure seed
laboratory and prohibits others from
issuing certificates, labels or tags
which would in any way tend to
falsify the results Of seed ccrtifica-
ton in the state.
ut is the purpose Of this office to
so conduct the work as to make II
unnecessary to prosecute anybody
If, however, this must be done, such
work of prosecution will fall under
1 the jurisdiction Of the states attor-
ncy.'

Curtailment of
Dribble Causes
Much Criticism

New York, April ll.--(P)-Criticism
Of the action Of the joint basketball
rules committee in restricting the
dribble in the amateur game to a
single bounce came from many quar-
tiers today.
DIR. James Naismith, who invented
the game 35 years ago. declared the
rule change is decidedly a backward
step. The dribblc, he said, has been
one Of the most spectacular features
Of the game.
"Thc dribblc in the game rs played
i'm the west has not brought on ex-
ccssivc roughncss,' he said when
told the committee made the change
"to eliminate roughness and encour-
age team play" Dr. Naismith is pro-
lessor Of physical education at Kan
sas University and is life honorary
member of the committee. The new
rule was adopted unanimously by tho
committee in annual session here
Saturday.
