VOLUME 11. SHORT COURSE FOR TESTING OF SEED peedmeu, High School Agriculturists And Public School Teachers To Attend AT UNIVERSITY FARM JULY 21 Farmers Also Invited to Study Seed Testing Problems Under The New Law St. Paul Minn,, July 12—A seed- testing short course made desirable by the Minnesota Seed Law which went into effect July 1, will be offer- ed at University Farm, St. Paul, dur- ing the week of July 21. This course will be of special advantage to seed- men and to teachers who wish to give such courses in Agricultural or other high schools or in fact in any schools in Minnesota or adjoing states, and will be given by Professor Oswald, in charge of the Seed Laboratory. This short course is a milestone in the development of seed testing. Three years ago the University De- Partment of Agriculture made a spec- ial study of the methods in use in the seed laboratory of the United States Department of Agriculture at Washington D, C. Since that time it has established a small laboratory and made over 5000 free seed tests direction, The new seed law proviing free tests for all applicants necessitates the equipment of a larger laboratory which will be one of the best in this country. Those who wish to acquaint themselves with methods in this line of work will have the benefit of the best laboratory facilities and the ex- perience gained in teaching this work to students in the College and -School-of -Agriculture, but-the.meth- ods taught will be so simple that they require little or no equiment not al- ready available at any school, farm or seed house. Although it may not be possible for many farmers to come to the University Farm at this season, they will be given instruction at the win- ter short course and on other oc- casions later. The presence of many teachers at University Farm for the summer session makes this a very favorable time to instruct those who wish to introduce seed testing in- struction into the schools attended by farmers’ children. This law requires that agricul- tural seeds sold or exposed for sale in Minnesota, bear labels presenting certain information. It does not pro- hibit the sale of impure or inferior seeds, but it does provide that such seed shall carry notice to the buyer of its inferiority. This is a valuable protection both to the farmer and to the honest seedsman who does not wish to be exposed to the unfair competition of the dealer in low grade goods. The law provides for: (1) The accurate labeling of all agricultural seeds in lots of one pound or more. (2) The tree testing of seeds for any resient of the State. (3) The inspection of seed sold in the markets of this State and the publication of the results. (4) The enforcement of the law and penalties for the violation of the same. It i8 required in the law that the - Minnesota Agricultural Experiment Station shall inspect ‘“agricultural seed” sold or offered for sale in this State at such time and place as it may desire. Agents are also to be ap- pointed to make such inspection and to collect samples of any lot or lots t seed desired, the current value of such seed being paid for the sample. These collections will be made in such a manner as to insure a fair, representative sample of the lot ex- amined. Sealed duplicate samples under Professor Oswald’s will be taken so as to insure unifor- mity of samples. Owners of the seed examined will be given the oppor- tunity to accompany the agent while making the collection. The results made or samples sent in for testing are for private use only and are in no way a guarantee of the lot from which the sample was taken; nor can they at any time be . used by any person or firm for ad- vertising purposes. The reports are presumably accurate only for the sample which has been submitted and obviously cannot guarantee that the sample is representative of. the whole lot from which it was taken, The Laboratory will refuse to make testa for persons or corporations who in any way use the results for ad- NUMBER 66 ROUMANIA .IOINS FIGHT Wants Reward For Neutrality Dur- ing War With Turkey Expect To ¢ Form Plans TO SECURE 2500 SQUARE MILES Bucharest, July 12.—All Roumania is prepared for war with Bulgaria. King Charles summoned parliament to assemble in special session to deal with the plan to occupy Bulgarian territory. With the withdrawal of her minister from Sofla and ny bilization of her armies Roumania ks shown she 18 determined to take possesgion of the territory demanded as a re- ward for her neutrality during the Turko-Balkan war. London, July 12—A Reuter's dis- patch from Sofia says Bulgaria has de- cided not to resist Roumania in the invasion now under way at the direc- tlon of King Charles. This would in- dicate the Bulgarians would permit the Roumanians to take possession of the 2,500 square miles of territory which they demanded as a reward for remaining neutral during the Balkan war. MAY AGREE TO AN ARMISTICE But Greece and Servia Will ‘Insist on Territorial Demands. London, July. 12.—Diplomats here awaited with interest the replies ex- pected from Servia and Greece as a result of Bulgaria’s action in plac- ing her affairs in the hands of Russia. There is little doubt that these countries would agree to an imme- diate armistice providing Bulgaria would agree to the main provisions of the peace terms which it is known would be demanded. The invasion by Roumania would also possibly be stopped, providing Bulgaria agrees to turn over to King Charles the terri- tory he demands as a reward for neu trality during the struggle of the Bal- kan allies with Turkey. Servia and Greece also demand ter- ritorial concessions, and it is believed here that should Bulgaria refuse at the present time to accede to the de- mands of Greece and Servia the two armies may be expected to join forces and impose even more exacting terms on Czar Ferdinand. > Reports from the armies tell of ad- ditional reverses of the Bulgarians, The plan to place a strong force be- tween the Servian and Greek armies at Guevjelvin has failed completely and the two forces are said to be com bining there. General Savoff’s removal from com mand of the Bulgarian army has led to the bellef that there is serious dis- sension and further fighting would probably result in an even more com- plete disorganization of the army. BELIEVED PEAGE IS NEAR Russia Takes Hopeful Vlew of Bllknn Situation. St. Petersburg, July 12.—A distinct- ly hopeful view is expressed by the Russian press and in official circles in regard to the Balkan situation. Peace is regarded generally as im- minent on account of the crippling of the Bulgarian army and the severe losses sustained by Servia. The Russian Red Cross society has decided not to send any detachments of doctors, nurses and ambulance men to the front. Servians Join Greeks. Belgrade, July 12—The Servian and Greek campaign against the Bulgarians and Macedonia is regarded by the Ser- vian military authorities as concluded since the defeat of the Bulgarians in the recent fighting. The Servian troops joined hands with the Greek forces which had just taken Strumit- za. STORM IS RAGING IN ITALY Coldest Weather in Six Centuries Is Experienced. Rome, July 12.—A terrific storm is raging throughout Italy and in many places the country has been devas- tated and the crops destroyed. It is accompanied by remarkably cold weather for the time of year. The temperature in Rome fell be- low 60 degrees Fahrenheit. Such weather in the middle of July has been recorded in Italy since the mear 1313, when superstitious people smgtbuted it to the repetition of the femaber thirteen. SPEAKER CLARK ‘DENIES CHARGE Says Stories of Lamar And His Friends Are False. “Never Met Him.” : s DENIAL STATEMENT SUBMITTED “Chief” 0f Lower House Never Knew Impersonator And Had No Dealings ‘Washington, July 12.—Martin M. Mulhall, whose published charges of his activities as a lobbyist for the Na- tlonal Association of Manufacturers have named many congressmen as having been susceptible to influences of a “lobby,” was ready to begin his testimony when the senate investigat- ing committee assembled. Inasmuch as some witnesses on the tariff phase of the inquiry were wait: ing to be heard Mulhall was forced to wait. Winthrop L. Marvin, secretary of the National Association of Wool Manufacturers, put in a synopsis state- ment showing the financial operations of the association. He was questioned about a special $20,000 fund raised several years ago. He said he had 1o record of how that fund was collected or disbursed. He believed E. P. Green of Boston, who helped raise it, could tell how it had been spent. He was certain the mon- | ey had been spent in printing and trav- eling expenses. ‘William Whitman, former president of the association, who took the stand after Marvin, explained a $5,000 gift made to S. N. D. North, secretary of the association in 1897, and a clerk to majority members of the senate finance committee. The gift was made after the Dingley bill passed congress. Many prominent wool manufacturers | and others not connected with the as-; sociation contributed to the fund. Denial by Speaker Clark. Speaker Clark, testifying with re- | gard to the use of his name by David Lamar and Edward Lauterbach, said he had never had anything to do with “Liamar, Lauterbach ‘or‘any of ‘the men mentioned by them. J. Pierpont Morgan, he said, he saw at a Grididron dinner in Washington several years ago at which former President Roosevelt and former Sena- tor Foraker engaged in a joint debate. Speaker Clark put in this statement: “Ledyard says that Lauterbach told him that he was in communication with me through Senator Stone. Lau- terbach, who acknowledged on the wit- ness stand that he had lied, said that Lamar gave him the information. La- mar confessed the whole tale was a He to force Morgan & Co. to take Lauterbach back into their employ. All of them disclaim any acquaintance or communication with me. “Senator Stone justly and properly characterized the Lamar-Lauterbach tale as a lie. He and I never in our lives conversed about or in any way mentioned to each other Morgan & Co. or the steel trust investigation. “I never spoke to John Pierpont Morgan or any member of his firm in my life; never communicated with him or them in any manner whatsoever, and never authorized anybody else to do so. I was, to my best knowledge and Delief, never introduced, even causually, to him or any of them.” No Concert Last Evening Weather conditions prevented the Bemidji band from rendering its third out of door concert last evening. The next concert will be given next Fri- day night on the City dock and it is probable that added features will be made for the program.- Last Night For Merry-Go-Round Tonight will be the last eneving for Merry-Go-Round to operate in Bemidji as they will leave here for Grand Forks where they will run during the next two weeks.

Dominion, fiave in the past been In danger of losing the national outlook and be- coming mere denominations of the intellectual and the well to do. This was the assertion of Dr. J. A. MacDonald, editor of the Toronto Globe and one of the Canadian dele- gates to the International Christian Endeavor convention in session here, in his address on “The Problem of Capital and Labor as Related to the Churches.” “All over America,” said Dr. Mac- Donald, “there has grown up an in- dustrial absolutism more harmful and much more: arrogant than that of any Stuart queen, but where is the church of John Knox that will stand against tyranny and oppression for the will of God and for the right of men? “What does the comfortable church of the well to do know about the problem of work or of wages? How can it hear the passionate cry of the children of America—a million ot them—some say three milions— caught in the cruel wheels of our vast, heartless industral machine? How can it measure the agony of women whose only alternative is starvation or shame? Why? Because of the church’s social apostasy. Once again the church has become the conservator of vested interests and worships ‘the' God of things as’ thoy are.’ " WEATHER CHECKS .

Wil- son, editor’ of the Bemidji Sentinel, chairman C. G. Schulz stated that the Normal school commission would meet in St. Paul at the Capitol build- ing next Tuesday and determine the location of the sixth normal school, - The. letter gives assurance that the commission {8 unbifased and still open minded and that the school will be located, where it will be of the greatest permanent usefulness to the section of the state which it is in- teneded to serve. The letter in full is as follows: July 11, 1913, Mr. F. A. Wilson, % 3 Bemidji, Minnesota. Dear Sir— The commission will meet at the Capitol next Tuesday to determine the- location of the normal school. We have not discussed the merits of the several proposed locations, nor conferred, up to this time, with a view of reaching any definite conclu- sion. At our meeting on Tuesday we shall go over the facts that have been presented and give as complete and thorough a consideration as is possible. 1 wish the representatives of_Bemidji, as well as those of other towns, to be assured that the com- mission has been opened-minded, and is now. I believe that each of my as- sociates feels as I do, that when the location is determined it will be ac- cepted by all the communities as an impartial and unbiased decision. Should any statement be made, prior to the announce commission’s selection, that th tion has already been decided, you Wwill treat this as talk without any foundation in fact. I am sure that T can speak for the entire commis- sion in saying that we shall be gov- erned by one consideration only— that of seeking to so locate this nor- mal school that it will be of the greatest permanent usefulness to that portion of our state which it is intended to serve. Each community has one or more sites which are suitable as a location and would answer every purpose. Af- ter our decision is announced, ft is not only desirable but important for the future usefulness of this nor- mal school and for the continuance of that good feeling which has char- acterized northern Minnesota, that the several communities should join in giving it their undivided support in the same manner as they have worked together toward securing its establishment.
