ANALYST EXPLAINS
CHOICE OF ALFALFA
AND CLOVER SEEDS
Likely to Be Hard and Resistive
to termination; Time Of
Planting Helpful

Fargo, N. D., Jan. 16.-P)-Meth-
DDS of selecting the best sweetclover
and alfalfa seed for planting were de-
scribed a. the state seed school here,
today, by o. A. Stevens. seed analyst
at the Agricultural college.
In some cases, Stevens said, clover
seeds are so hard that they remain
dry at the end of the ordinary germ
ination test, but if the seed coat is
slightly broken, as occurs in scarify-
Ing. they will terminate promptly.
Other factors which induce prompt
termination of clover seeds are age
and exposure to variable weather.
Alfalfa often shows a high percent
age Of hard seeds in the fall, but the
same seed terminates better by
planting time and produces a higher
percentage of plants in the field than
in the laboratory.
Early spring planting Of sweetclover
seed gives the best results, Stevens
said and for late planting only seed
Of quick termination should be used.
Old OF heated seeds show a reddish
brown color, Stevens said, and are
likely to be dead.
Frosted seeds have a large percent
age Of d~ark-colored seeds. Those
which are plump and nearly as heavy
as the bright seeds geminate well but
the lighter seeds are of little value.
It is hardly worth while for the
average farmer to make termination
tests on unhulled Sweetclover, Stevens
said. since the percentage of hard
seeds is likely to be high and the
value is better determined by the
amount of Ugh -weight seed present.

set by Christ. 1t involves the ideal
of the human heart, the goal Of all

The ministry, said Mr.. Water, nc
longer Is restricted, as once it was, to
the preaching of the gospel. Its
scope has broadened until it is as

NORTHERN PACIFIC NOTIFIED
Louis Il. Connolly Puzzled Over
Answer to Katie kanski's
Legal Address

Mandan's "Dog Town wants a foot
bridge over the Northern Pacific

dan proper as a safeguard for school
children and others who necessarily
cross the tracks several times daily.
This was the substance of a request
made in petitions presented to Man.
dams city commissioners in regular
weekly business meeting last night.
Danger Il Increasing
The petitions point out that Dog
Town" has q great number of school
children who should be protected
from injury on their daily trips and
that such a bridge would be compar-
atively inexpensive. Petitioners
would build the overpass somewhere
near the Stone, Ordean Wells COM
pany, at the southern end of Collins
avenue in Mandan proper. No chill
dren have been injured seriously in
the yards recently, but danger, be-
cause Of the steady increase of chill
dren, is becoming greater daily, Pc
titionerS say.
A copy Of the petition is being sent
to officials Of the Northern Pacific
at Glendive, Mont, by the commits
siorers, in hopes that the railroad
will bear part or all expense for the
bridge. The commissioners probably
will take NJ definite action until
railroad officials have answered, ac-
cording to w. H. Seitz. Mandan au-
ditor.

city to the fire departments of both

TO RETAIN EXISTING
TARIFFS FOR SUGAR
Adopts Harrison Proposal to
Substitute Present levies
for Increases

Washington, Jan. 16-R-The SEN
ate today voted to retain the exist
ing sugar tariffs.
It adopted q proposal by Senator
Harrison, Democrat, Miss, to sub
stitute present levies for the increases
proposed by the finance committee
Republicans.
The vote was 48 to 80.
The present duty on Cuban raw
sugar IS 1.76 cents q pound and tina!
against other countries Is go cents
These were raised by the finance
committee Republicans to 2.20 and
2.75 cents, respectively. while the
house bill provided duties Of 2.4o to
3 cents.
Denies Any Increase
Eighteen Republicans voted for the
Harrison proposal which denies any
increase in the sugar tariff over ex-
isting law.
-Four Democrats lined up with the
other Republicans against the meas
ure to keep duties as they are:
The roll call on the Harrison
amendment follows:
For present sugar rate:

Develops Controversy
The vote developed another major
controversy for settlement in confer
ence with the house along with the
export debenture plan and the Sim
mons-Norris substitute for the flex
tble tariff which are written into
the bill by the senate coalition OF
Democrats and Republican Indc-
pendents against the wishes Of Presi-
dent Hoover.
Had the senate approved the fl
nance committee rates it would have
made certain q higher sugar tariff in
the bill finally sent to the president,
but today's vote makes this doubtful
unless q compromise is reached in
conference and approved by both
houses.
OF those not voting pairs were an
nounced as follows:
For Harrison amendment: Cutting,
Republican. Copeland, Robinson, Ark.
and Walsh. Montana, Democrats.
Against Harrison amendment: Flet.
