FARMERS TO GET
NEW RECORD BOOK

Stearns county farmers wishing
to keep records Of their 1885 farm
ing operations will be supplied free
with 20-page record book by the
Agricultural Adjustment Admins
tration.
These books have been received
by County Agent e. c. Lenzmeier
and are now, available for distribu-
ton. Any farmer may obtain a
copy by calling at the county
agents office.
The book contains forms for re-
cording the, amount and value Of
all farm property, purchases and
sales and for calculating earnings
and net worth. It also contains
forms for a farm map and for re-
cording the acreages and produc-
ton Of all farm crops.
1t has been issued by the corn
hog section of the Agricultural Ad-
justment Administration to aid far
mers in establishing proof of COM
pliance with their production adj
justment contracts and to serve as
supporting evidence for allotments
and payments under any new adj
justment programs that may be
offered. Every farmer who has
participated in one or more of the
current agricultural adjustment
programs will realize the value of
such records.

farmer buyers in drouth countries
for seed purchases, as a conserva-
ton measure. by the Fereral Seed
Stocks Committee, have been an
nounced by the Agricultural Ad-
justment Administration as fol-
lows:
Marquis and, Ceres wheat, $1.35;
Durum wheat. $3.50; Mailing bar
ley, $1.35; Trebi barley, $1.10; West
Coast feed barley, $1.20; Early and
mid-season oats, $.75; Red oats.
$50; Flax, $2.25.
These prices are based on the
actual purchase cost of the seed to
the administration, plus handling.
/ cleaning and storage charges.
For sales made after the last day
of each month following January,
one cent per- bushel per month will
be added tor cover storage charges.
Otherwise, the price schedule will
hold, and the prices quoted will be
standard throughout the entire
deficit area for administration
seed supplies.
The Administration has acquired,
for distribution in 10 states, the fol-
lowing supplies Of seedss spring
wheat, 5,050,000 bushelsa durum
wheat, 100000 bushels; mailing
barley, 100000 bushels feed bar
ley, 100000 bushels; white and
yellow oats, 100000 bushels; red
oats, 100000 bushels; flax, 100000
bushels. It is estimated these
stocks will not supply more than
half of the total amount of seed
needed by farmers in the. drouth
areas.
In purchasing seed stocks, rigid
standards have been applied in or
der to secure seed grains that are
superior to ordinary commercial
grain. and that are best adapted to
the deficit areas. All seed stocks
held have been inspected by the
bureau Of Plant Industry and have
been cleaned and graded under SUI
pervision Of that bureau.
The county drought committees
are now making surveys in drought
areas to determine locally availa-
BILE seed stocks, and to obtain Or
ders from farmers for their seed
requirements. Orders for seed
that cannot be supplied from local
sources are being consolidated in
the offices of the various county
drought relief directors.
The seed stocks are now largely
held in elevators In primary coun-
try distributing points throughout
deficit areos, and movement of the
stocks to final points of distribu-
ton will start as soon as alloca-
tions to drought countries have
been made. Seed ordered will be
held in certain local seed houses or
elevators subject to call Of the far
mer applicants until 80 days before
the regular planting season for
each locality and each class Of
grain. e

1885 AAA In State

Plan Allows Use of Corn Acres

Boss Says

"The governments wheat, corn
and hog reduction program for 1885

by the farmers to cooperate" DR..

said today in an address before the
Dairy Club at the West hotel.
This will be only part Of the
benefit if the expected rise in farm
prices as a result Of the reduction
programs approaches the general
price benefits Of the plan as 1t OPP
Grated in 1894" he said, in pointing
out that today farm prices are ap-
proximately "a per cent higher than
in 1888, circumstance he believes
due in large part to the crop and
animal reduction campaigns Of the
AAA.
In 1894 the cash bonus payments
to Minnesota farmers who cooper
ated in the wheat corn and hog
reduction programs was something
over $4,000, 900 while the general in
crease in the prices for all farm
commodities brought $62, 0O0, 900 adj
ditional to them over what they
would have received on basis of
1888 prices" he explained. DR..
Boss said there Is very substantial
basis for optimism over the farm
situation and ventured the prophecy
that 1885 will witness material ad-
vance in farmer welfare. In out
lining the plan he said:
1.-THE 1885 program will be a con-
tinuation of the 1884 program, with
some minor changes in details but
none in general operation. Far
mers will be asked to cut their pro-
duction Of hogs 10 per cent instead
of Is per cent, and they will be
paid at the rate of SIS hog for
the number not raised as compared
with SIS hog paid in 1884 on the
base quota allowed to be produced.
This will reduce the bonus pay
ments, but is expected to add to
farmer income through increased
prices for the number left to be
marketed"

Old Seed May Grow; Grim Advises
Testing


Testing
Confronted with the first seed
scarcity in years, Minnesota far
mers are frequently raising the
question Of how we'll old seed will
grow. Ralph +. Grim, extension
agronomist. University Farm, st.
Paul, says age of seed is less i'm
portant than the original quality
of the seed and the way it is
stored.
Mr.. Grim says that the viability
(germintion) of farm seeds depends
very largely on the conditions of
moisture, ventilation, and temper
allure under which it is stored.
Seed stored with q relatively high
percentage OF moisture very often
deteriorates rapidly and may not be
viable after one year. Seed stored
in poorly ventilated bins frequen-
thy becomes musty. II stored ur-
der cool, dry conditions, seed lives
considerably longer than If stored
under severe heat conditions.
Considerably quantities Of salts
factory seed can be salvaged from
the old stocks by thoroughly apply
ing simple home termination
test. Blotting paper, picnic plates,
or simple rag doll tester may be
used, just so the seed is kept moist
and warm enough.
To find out if seed several years
old would grow, the Ohio agricul-
tural experiment station collected
seeds Of different field crops for a
series OF years and stored them in
corked glass bottles, under iden-
teal conditions. In February and
March of 1920 all were tested.
Alsike clover from the 1910 crop
terminated 90 per cent. Field
corn. 1915 crop, terminated 8 per
cent; 1912 crop, 81 per cent. Field
peas, 1912 crop. had 05 per cent
termination; 1915 crop 26 per cent.
One per cent Of the 1917 timothy
crop grew, but the 1916 crop grew
SO per cent.
From these results 1t is evident
that age of seed has less effect on
termination than does its original
quality. Seed OF good quality orig
inally and properly stored, will
keep its terminating powers much
longer than poor quality seed or
seed badly stored. Farm seeds
seldom maintain their Visibility as
long as 80 years. but some of the
weed seeds have retained their
viability for longer period.
