Scarlet O'Hara.


Call it Scarlet O'Hara if you want
to be kept guessing!" That's what
they said when this famous char
acter of fiction first achieved promi-
nence, then kept the country in a
other during the famous testing
of actresses for this role.
Now, however, the saying is again
in order, this time in response to a
series of flurries, fuss and feathers
over flower named Scarlet O'Hara
It's beautiful new wine-red Morn
ing glory which received the gold
medal, or highest award, in the 1899
seedmen's All-American selections.
The first Scarlettism cropped out
in 1887. A big California seed farm
had been sent few seeds of a new
"red" morning glory; it had been
tested, then increased, and eventually
named Scarlet O'Hara and entered
in the All-American trials.
A member of this firm was visiting
the fields of rival. Suddenly, COM
ing to colorful claret-colored block
of flowers, he stopped in amaze
ment, gasping, "How in the devil
did you get hold of our novelty?"
Faces went scarlet The facts re-
vealed that the second firm had been
growing its stock under contract for
very small firm-and for a long
time that firm was bound and deter
mined to hold their red morning glory
for their own local trade
Finally, both firms published their
wholesale catalogues listing the morn
ing glory, which shortly afterwards
won the gold medal as first ranking
novelty in the All-American Selec-
tons. At almost the same time, the
crop was being harvested and al
though it was known to be a poor
seed producer, the crop was so much
smaller than expected that the new
morning glory was withdrawn. The
All-American score held over, how
ever, to lead all the novelties of this
season, as it did last.
Some sensitive guests go home
after the host stretches gently. 9th
ers need yawn or two. Winding
wrist watch or setting the ther-
mostat sends most of them away. A
pointed remark about getting down to
the office early disposes of all but
the most determined Occasionally
you're obliged to go upstairs and go
to bed while your wife makes the
best of the adieus; and thus you not
only gain some sleep but also some

What LOvelier Poem?


No need today for pad and pen
For scribbling poetry;
Each hours a living poem when
You're having guests for tea
Red roses in your pewter bowls,
And silver cleaning bright
From gay flames dancing on the Goals,
And mellow candlelight.
Between the welcome and goodnight
Such mirth with wisdom blends!
What lovelier poem could one write
Than hands held out to friends?

Truckers Have Eve
On House File 352

According to Lawrence Thrun, Fin
layson trucker, Minnesota truckers
generally are interested in the well
fare of bill in the legislature
House File 352-which makes it
illegal for any union to call a strike
without first obtaining a majority
vote, of the employees affected, by
secret ballot conducted by the State
Labor Relations Commission. The
bill also forbids employers to sign
closed shop contract on the grounds
that the freedom of employees to join
labor unions or associations of their
own choosing is thereby impaired
The bill also forbids employees and
unions from committing various 9TH
er illegal and unethical practices, &C
cording to the Midwest Motor Traf-
fic News. The truckers generally
feel that the bill, if passed, will be of
benefit to the trucking industry and
employees.
Mr. Thrun advises that truckers
and others call attention of the bill
to their Representatives and Senator
at st. Paul, and urge their support
to pass it.

Watch Your Seeds I!
County Agent Warns

A warning was received by the
the State Department of Agriculture
warning farmers and dealers to be
exceedingly careful in buying sup
plies of seed for 1889 planting Some
of the things to look for if the best
and safest seed is desired, and the
best seed is usually the cheapest, are
as follows, advises Mr.. McMillin:
l. Look for the label on the sack
or container.
2. Read the label 1t must have the
important items given. Don't buy
any seed unless it is fully and proper
ly labeled.
8. Percent termination. This should
be high.
4. Purity or freedom from trash
and weed seed.
s. Percent of weed seed and kinds,
if any are of the creeping jennie,
thistle, quack, etc.
6. Dealers name and address.
Keep the tag for at least a year
after the seed is sown. Mark on it
the date you bought it, This may
be worth a lot if the seed is not
properly labeled.
Investigate Samples.
Send a pint sample of the seed
to the State Seed Laboratory at Uni
versity Farm, st. Paul, for test.
The report will be mailed to the
sender. Mr.. McMillin warns: eve
are reliably informed that there is
likely to be large quantity of 1895
timothy seed offered to Minnesota
farmers from several sources in ad-
joining states. Be careful from whom
and how you buy seeds. Read the
label and keep it for reference Ask
your county agent or write the State
Department of Agriculture, Dairy and
Food for information. Do your own
thinking. Timothy seed over one year
old its not reliable. One of the sam
Piles tested 26 percent termination"
Seed corn, said McMillin, is rap
idly gaining popularity in Pine coun-
ty and has proven out well in the
past year. However, INSCRIPTIONS
seed dealers are taking advantage of
the demand for hybrid corn and SELL
ing corn that isn't adapted to the
section. Farmers buying hybrid corn
should buy only from reliable deal
ers and know what they are buying.
