SEED SERVICE FOR
GROWERS IMPROVED
400 Percent Betterment Re-
lated to Crop Meeting
at Lexington

4 Lexington, Feb. 8 Services render
ed North Carolina seed dealers and
growers have been increased 400 per-
cent during the past two months with
the result that "this State is ceasing
to become the dumping ground for
poor quality seed," D. S. Coltrane, as
sistant to Commissioner of Agricul-
turo w. Kerr Scott, told the North
Carolina Crop Improvement Associa-
tion in session here today
Speaking on Progress in Enforc-
ing the New North Carolina Seed
Law" Coltrane said that more deal
ers have been licensed to sell seed
than was anticipated, with 1000 re-
tailers and more than 100 wholesalers
having paid fees required by law.
And we are obtaining fine coopera-
ton from the seed trade" he added.
1--WE are satisfied that the farmers
are being offered better Seed" the as
sstant to the commissioner declared
'The State Department of Agricul-
lures seed laboratory is taxed to capa-
city making tests on seed samples for
purity. and termination"
Coltrane appealed to the associa-
lIO1 IIISulUcISu4p " luIIu0I CO-OpG-
rate with the Department of Agricul-
ture so that unnecessary samples will
not he sent to the seed laboratory for
testing"
He cited that because of unneces-
sary samples now in the laboratory,
the seed testing work is approximate
ly Is days behind" adding that "this
can be explained by the example of
one man who sent seven samples of
lima beans from seven bags, when
one sample properly taken would give
him adequate information as to ger
mination and purity"
Reporting the work of seed testing
by the department, the assistant to
the commissioner said that samples
and reports had been increased from
$40 during December 1886 to 2,49O in
December last year."

1887 Legislature
Issue Yet Alive
fContlnued from rage ooe.,

measure it championed in 1887.
The Changers are pledging themsel-
yes to vote for senators and repre-
sentatives who will give the small
home owner the relief to which they
are justly entitled and which the
voters of the State have confidently
expected" This paragraph of the
Grange program refers to exemption
from taxation of homes valued at 81
coo or less. A 1886 referendum favored
giving the legislature authority to give
this exemption, but the 1887 Assem-
bly, refused to vote the exemption, do
ing nothing more than to appoint
commission to study the matter and
report on the effect of exemptions.
Larger sums must be set aside TO,
the Improvement of our secondary
roads and first consideration should
be given to school bus routes. All high
way funds should be used for the
maintenance and Improvement of our
roads None should be diverted to
other USES" runs the Grange program
which Mr. Caldwell says is receiving
overwhelming endorsement.
And so these issues will figure lar
gely in this springs primaries as well
as in the 1899 legislature. In fact, fate
of the program will have been deter
mined long before the Assembly
meets.

 An idea of what real be found at McChord Field.

 necessary to have auxiliary bases. These it is pected will be located at strategic positions probably along the coast.
 Weight to the belief that the major base may be established inland with the auxiliary bases the coast is given the theory that the major base of supplies be located at the farthest point from danger of attack and still have availability of flight range while the secondary bases up closer to the possible of operations Whether this theory is the premise on which the Army is proceeding in the north however is another matter. The fact that Col Johnson is so strongly impressed with Point Gustavus for the seat of operations would tend to discount the idea.
 
 Regardless of what the Army's final decision is it evident that now two years after the passage of the Wilcox bill actual work is near Army base in Alaska. It probably is not too presumptuous to predict that we will see construction under way by next summer.

Territorial Sanitary Campaign
(Fairbanks NeWs-Miner)

Good work that hv the Territorial health and sanitary officials Congratulations to E. F. Clements territorial sanitary inspector in Fairbanks the last few days.
 MT. Clements does not mix or temper his words. Cafes and all handlers of foods barbers beaucians and workers in similar lines must obtain certificates of health.
 local survey this week by MT. Clements revealed that 25 percent of the establishments in the class mentioned had failed to health cards. As MT Clements says this in either gross neglect contempt of law. These violations he declares will not be to- erated. Right here he will have 100 percent support of the thinking public-practically everyone.
 The shocking fact is revealed by MT. Clements that more than six percent of those examined the last six months found to have syphilis, to say nothing of other diseases or unsanitary conditions.
 Public indignation over the brazenesS of those who would attempt to dispense foods or serve the public in the trades mentioned should be aroused in support of the officials in their laudable work.
 If the people sleep on this matter-toleratng filth and disease-there is something radically wrong. May it be said the people are indifferent and will not support the health officials to the fullest in their efforts in such vital matters
 Let public sentiment and the law have full force and back up the campaign to the last trench
