SEED TESTS SHOW
DROUTH EFFECTS
RIGHT TREATMENT OF SEED FOR
BEST TERMINATION, TEXT
OF NEW BULLETIN
MONTANA STATE COLLEGE)

MONTANA STATE COLLEGE)
Although testing work On 1894 al
falfa seed submitted to the Montana
grain inspection laboratory at Mon
tana State college will not be COM
pleted for three or four months, tests
made up to Dec. 81 on the 1884 crop
indicate that drouth had q distinct
influence on prompt termination and
percentage of hard seeds.
A report on termination and hard
seed of alfalfa, compiled by w. o. Whit
comb. laboratory superintendent, shows
that the 1884 seed submitted had a
prompt termination of So percent, as
compared with the 1O-year average of
59.2. and hard seeds totaled % percent,
average. While the total of prompt
termination and hard seed, which is
classified as live seeds, amounts to 81
percent, as compared with an average
of 86.l percent for the last 10 years,
the difference is due to a 81 percent
increase in hard seeds.
With the exception of 1927. 1929 and
1882. the prompt termination of the
1884 crop was the lowest in 10 years.
The lowest percentage of hard seeds
occurred in 1881, the report showing %
percent that year. In 1924, 1927 and
1929 the hard seed percentage
reached 81.
In a bulletin Hard Seeds in L.
gumes," in which certain conclusions,
based on extended testing work, are
drawn, Whitcomb says the resistance of
hard seeds to termination varies greatly
and is shown by the following percent
age of seeds remaining hard in field
soil at the end of the first growing
season; alfalfa, l; sweet clover, "a; and
red clover, 81.
He further states that treatment Of
seeds to render the hard seeds per-
meable often weakens the strength Of
such seeds so that they will not pro-
duce plants under field conditions as
effectively as will normal seeds, and
that hardy seeds of alfalfa terminate
more readily in the field than in the
laboratory during the first season,
while hard seeds Of sweet clover germi-
nate much the same in the laboratory
as in the field.
A table in the same bulletin, over
ing termination of alfalfa hard seeds
in the laboratory, the greenhouse and
the field, reveals that in the first two
weeks the greatest termination is OBJ
tanned in the field, which also is true
of the second two weeks. The total
termination for 10 weeks shows "a
percent in the field, 50 percent in the
greenhouse and a. percent in the lab
oratory.
While these seeds are not considered
any harder or more brittle than other
seeds, they are termed hard seeds
because they fail to absorb water readi-
ly and hence remain hard under con-
ditions favorable to termination, Whit
comb explained.
While not as yet well understood, it
is apparent, he said, that some factors
in addition to moisture and general
crop conditions have a bearing or the
hard seed content of alfalfa and SINH
lar seeds.

FORT WORTH Aug. 3.-Two
Valley boys-Jimmie Lawrence of
Harrington, co-captain CT the team.
and Melvin Diggs OF Weslaco-will
be on the roster Of the T. c. y. Horn
ed Frog football team this season.
Lawrence, who with Lester OAR

snorting back who is slated to make
AL Conference this season. He will
be working for his third varsity let
ter In football.
Digg's an end. will be after his sec
ond varsity letter with the Frogs.
The Horned Frogs have the largest
football squad In the history OF the
school. The squad totals 40 play
ers, including 20 lettermen. eight
squadmen and FL sophomores. The
big squad means ample reserves for
Coaches Mayer and Wolf. a thing
which the Christians have not al
ways had. The squad list shows sew
en- ends. eleven tackles. nine guards,
three centers, three quarterbacks,
eleven halfbacks and five fullbacks.
The 1895 schedule is q tough one.
including, as 1t does, games with all
six conference rivals and ~intersec-
tional games with Tulsa, Centenary,
Loyola and Santa Clara. The Frogs
will make their first long football
trip when they meet the Santa Clara
Broncs in San Francisco Dec. Y.
The Frogs were an in-and-ou
team In 1894. II they can shcw In
the coming season the type of play
they exhibited against Tulsa. Rice,
or Santa Clara, they have a good
chance to cop the conference flag.
They should at least give the other
conference elevens a good race for
the title.

SALFISH ARE
SAID SIGHTED
Valleyites Out to Prove
Game Fighters In
This Section
Especial to The Herald)

PORT ISABEL, Aug. 3.-Fisher-
men Of this city and other parts Of
the Valley Saturday were rapidly
feeling the effects OF "sailfish
fever" following reports Of a group
OF fishermen on j. w. Pate's Gulf
Ranger that they ran into a school
Of Sailfish about five miles off
shore.
The sails, most desirable and one
Of the most elusive Of big game
fish in the ocean, followed the boat
around like sharks, Pate said, and
struck at least twice. once taking
a strip bait off the hook.
Mr.. Pate with another group Of
fishermen, went out again Friday,
the day after the school was sight
ed, but the Gulf waters had rough
ened up considerably, and they did
little fishing.
On the boat at the time the sail
fish were sighted were Mr.. and
Mrs. F. F. +. SappenfieId Of Los
Fresnos. Mrs. Berry OF Houston,
and Mrs. Celaya Of Brownsville.
We were fishing for king mack
erel," Captain Pate said. when we
sighted the sailfish. They came
right up like they were going to
take the bats. and one did hit q
feather jig, but was not hooked.
we cut off some strip bats
from king mackerel we had caught,
and put out this bait. The sails
kept in close. and sometimes they
would come right up TO the boat,
not so feet away, like sharks, with
their sails standing up out Of the
water.
We had one strike on the strip
bait. The sailfish got the bait, but
did not get hooked"
Pate said they saw six sailfish al
together, three in n group that
followed the boat for a consider
able distance. and the others at a
different time.
the coast here waS landed last year
by young Charles LaTurno Of Har-
lingen. Several have been report
cd caught at other points on the
Texas coast, and this year a group
OF Houston men succeeded in land
inc one. caught on some snapper
banks so miles offshore.
1t is expected that many fishing
parties will 60 out into the Gulf
soon after these fish.
Sicily Shelton and Ty Catron Of
Houston, professional sport fish
ermen and tackle representatives
are to fish for sailfish during the
1885 Rio Grande Valley fishing TO-
dec at Port Isabel. they stated in
a communication to J. H. Batsell
here.
Shelton recently caught one off
the coast at Houston. and has stat
ed he believes the prize game fish
can he found and caught in this
seton. probably in the vicinity Of
the snapper banks.
