HOME TESTS0F
SEEDS MAY BE
MADE EASILY
Seed Specialist at Agricul'
tural College Tells Ways
of Making Tests

Poor termination Of wheat or other
seeds sometimes is not suspected
from the appearance of the grain,
according to O. A. Stevens, seed
specialist at the North Dakota Agri-
cultural college. Sprouted grains
usually can be seen but sometimes
the sprout is broken off close and
the damaged tip can be detected only
by close inspection. Grains some
what swollen usually will grow but
may be diseased. Those which are
much sproutcd cannot be expected to
grow again. Fortunately samples
thought to be much sprouted COM
monty have thrcc-fourths or more
Of the kernels uninjurcd. Grain
which is dark brown or smells de-
cidedly musty is likely unfit for
seed. Occasionally sample shows
low termination without obvious
reason.
termination tests Of the common
grains and clovers can be made at
home without great difficulty. A
pair of dinner plates, the upper in
verted to serve as q cover, a pie
pan with tin cover, or any covered
dish will serve as a receptacle. Boxes
of dirt. sand or sawdust are otter
| used but covered dish with blottine
paper, paper towels or canton flan'
mel allows the seeds to be watched
more closely and the results are OBJ
tanned in shorter time.

Jury especially to durum wheat
Ordinary living rooms provide suit
able temperatures and if it becomes
too cold at night the dishes may b,
wrapped with blankets or old coat
as one would jar of yeast.
/ Warmth, moisture and air ar
necessary for termination. The seed
may be covered with water at frs
but not for more than few hours
Very small seeds like timothy ar
placed on ton Of the paper and no
covered by it. Medium sized seed
are placed between folds of pape,
while paper towels or cloth is bet

HOGGING OFF
CORN PAYS IN
NELSON COUNTY
F. w. Keitzman Makes Net
Gain Value of $219.44 From
81 Hogs in sc Days

Realizing a net gain value of
$219.44 from 81 hogs by turning
them into q seven.acre field of corn
for SO days is the experience Of F. w.
Keitzman on his farm in Illinois
township. Nelson county, who during
the past three years has conducted
experiments in hogging off corn with
the cooperation Of County Agent H.
NJ. Oefstos Of Lakota.
North Dakota white flint variety
Of corn was used and the hogs had
access to an alfalfa pasture during
the trial, and were or alfalfa pas.
ture prior to the trial. Last year
about ten days were lost on account
of weather and soft corn and during
this time about two bushels Of
ground barley and some skim milk
were fed per day.
The 1926 season proved to be the
banner year, when he realized a net
gain value Of $25a.60 from 80 hogs
running in seven-acre cornficld
for so days. In 1926 the net selling
price was 1910, while this year the
hogs sold for $1O.52 net The COM
plete figures for the three years
follow:
In 1925 Mr.. Keitzman turned %
hogs into a four-acre field Of corn
on September 8, they also having
access to a two-acre alfalfa pasture,
and left them. there for SO days. The
original weight Of the hogs was
5000 pounds and the final weight
4,S74, showing total gain of 1,274
pounds. or a gain of 1.2 pounds each
per day. The hogs were sold at $40

COMMUNITY
CHEST MEET
TO BE HELD
Plans For Drive, Election Of
Officers, to BE Taken Up
at Meeting Wednesday

Plans for the Community Chest
drive will be formulated and officers
Of the project chosen at meeting
to be held Wednesday evening at 8
o'clock in the Association Of Com
merce rooms.
Everyone is invited to attend the
meeting, which is open to all, and
lodges, service clubs, womens clubs,
welfare and other organizations Of
the city are asked to send delegates.
Additional plans for the project
will be worked out at this time.
Praise for the Community Chest
plan has been expressed by Grand
Forks citizens, according to Judge A.
NJ. Christensen. The plan was adopt
ed there two years ago and has met
with universal favor.
f. l.. Goodman, president Of the
Northwestern Trust company Of
Grand Forks, says:
1.-THE Community Chest is the fin
est thing | have ever heard Of for
financing organizations. It's very
businesslike method Of disposing OF
this matter appeals to the busy bus
mess man and the added fact that
it insures efficient administration OF
the funds by each organization should
lend weight to its efficiency.
1.-THE public will have an oppor-
tunity to know what is done with the
funds, owing to provision whereby
the accounts are to be audited year
~ by the auditing committee of the
Community Chest. It seems to me
that this alone will have the effect
of causing greater efficiency and less
spending of money than heretofore.
Additional praise is expressed by
the Grand Forks Herald, which says
that "thc Community Chest plan
has several advantages over the old
system. One of these is that
it spreads the burden. The Commun-
ity Chest makes evident to everyone
that social service is an obligation Of
good citizenship. 1t multiplies the
number of contributors to welfare
work from two to 10 times. This
means wider opportunities to give and
a citizenship that is we'll aware Of
and concerned with community prob
lens.
The plan saves money, effort and
annoyance, the Herald goes on to say
declaring that the Community Chest
means zone campaign, one pledge ana
one week devoted to fund raising. 1t
puts stop to the endless tag days
and drives by social service organiza'
tions. One campaign instead Of man!
helps to cut the cost out Of high liv-
ing"
