A motion was made and carried that the seed association go on record urg- ing the adoption of the 100-pound sack. This size sack may be ob- tained from the State Exchange. The standardization of pohto va-| rieties was then considered and after| - thorough discussion the following four varieties were recommended for general adoption in Beltrami county: Cobblers and Bliss Triumph for early varieties; Green Moutainsg and Russets for late varieties. It was the common sentiment that grow- ers should maintain normal acreage of Bliss Triumphs for the. seed market. It was moved and carried that the association urge upon the growers the grading of both table and seed stock, according to the accepted standards for each. Careful grading will do much. toward establishing a reputation for Beltrami county pota- toes and aid materially in finding and holding a favorable market. On mo- tion seconded and carried, the associa- tion ‘went on record - favoring the round mesh grader. The value and special feed of the seed plot for this year was urged, because - of the - tendency to plant nnythmg as seed that w111 grow. This is due to the high prices of seed stock. Every .farmer should select enough first class seed for a plot of one-quarter acre or more for his seed for next year. He should also select seed. this- fall for his seed plot for next year. The general and careful use of corrogive sublimate for seed treatment was also urged. A motion was made and carried especially urg-| ing the seed: plot, hill selectxon, and treatment with corrosive sublimate. The certification of seed was spe- cially urged. E. E. Schulke reported selling certified seed for $3.50 per| bushel when the ‘market for ;b{e Arnold received $2.056 for certified when the table stock market was $1.66 last November. It was pointed out the seed certification did more to advertise Beltrami.county as & po- tato center than any other one thing. As certification becomes more gen- eral, it will be impossible to sell po- tatoes for seed unless they are certi-) fied. Certified seed is to the potato grower what pedigreed stock is to the grower of live stock. The associa- tion urges certification of potatoes, | in preparation for a big demand for certified seed this fall, and the making of Beltrami county the center of the potato seed plot for the southern and western states.

GALL FROM “CRADLE OF RACE” ‘Arabs Show Willingness to Accept ' What Formerly They Fought— Mesopotamia Is Completely cmnuod by World War. " New York.— :nted' *'Doctors and hnrles for the Garden of Eden. The call comes from the “cradle of the race” itself, the land watered by the-Tigris and the Euphrates—Meso- potamia. And the need stands be: tween American crusaders and the an- swer to their prayers for 30 years. For decades the Garden of Eden and all -the vast expanse of desert, steppe and. fertile coast.land that is Arabla have flamed with the fanaticism of pagan and of Moslem tribes. For 30 years. the mission workers - among these Arabs, notably the Arabish mis- sion-of the Reformed Church of Amer- ica, have prayed for a means to pene- trate this barrier and reach these wild tribesmen. And they have praved for a change in the spirit of the people. Prayers Are Answered. To both prayers have come answers, An economic, social and religious study of the country now heing con- ducted by the Interchurch World Movement as a means to making prac- ticable a closer co-operation of Ameri- can. Evangelical churches in their com- mon tasks, shows that Mesopotamia has been ‘completely changed by the world war and that all Arabia has been affected. ' The survey shows, too, that medical work is the best and in many cases the only possible method by which the initial contact may be established between the pagans and Moslems, on one side, and the eru- | saders of the cross, on the other. And now, when the Arabs show a willingness to accept what formerly they fought—when unparalleled op- portunities-for service are offered the crusaders—they are helpless for lack of doctors and nurses. " The finest hospital of the Reformed church ' mission is standing idle, re- ports the -Interchurch World Move- ment survey” " ' And the survey reveals more than the need of medical men and women, There_is a shortage of workers, both foreign and native. Large Unexplored Territory." Arabia,’ the survey -shows, contains the largest unexplored territory in Asia—possibly in the worid. It has a total area .of 1,230,278 square miles and it les in the southeastern part of the great-peninsula. The crusaders of the cross have been limited to the east- ern coast and the vieinity of Eden. Hejaz, the Moslem “holy land” where lie Mecca and Medina, has no missionaries. Hadramaut, with a popu- latiou of 500,000, is untouched. There is not a single m!flsicn statinn far fo- land. At the hour of opportunlty. created by the world war, the eall‘comes from the crusaders, through the Interchurch ‘World Movement survey ; first for more doctors and nurses for the Garden of Eden and the Arabian interior; and then for more workers. On the basis of what the survey has | revealed, the Interchurch World Move- ment is shaping a program for the co- operative.. effort of -the Protestant .churches in America to win the nomad tribes of Arabia, and the present dwellers in the garden, to the ideals of Christianity.
