And frequently does. For instance: thq other day from a train on the Sixth avenue elevated, I looked into the windows of a loft on Christo- pher street, right at a nice live goat, ! munching away on a bunch .of hay.! ‘Why a goat was kept there and how and all the rest of the story, I can’t| imagine and shall probably neve: know. But it was there.

They really DO look like their pictures. Probably especially so be- cause a good many of them came dressed as they are.in the ads—with- in reason, of course. ¥ sion? - Among the other questions al- ready framed are: What is the v::]uel its stores by putting on a special Market Day and offering spe- cial inducements, it is well worth while. - Reports indicate there were many more than that at Bemidji’s first Market Day. It is| not so much the increase in.the amount of business done as the| fact that new territory is being added to Bemidji’'s trade zone,| for a new, satisfied customer means many additional purchases each year and that is what counts rather than a spasmodic burst and then a settlement back to former lines. From the opinion gathered, it would seem that a day in the middle of the week would be better than Saturday, as that day is usually a busy one under normal conditions.® It would mean two. busy days in the,week instead of one. s From the advertising angle, every advertisement should carry a bargain on some-article of general use. There would be little use for instance in advertising a special price on shav- ing mugs or corn removers. Their use is limited to a small num- ber. The more general the demand for the article advertised the better bargain it is. Taking everything into consideration, Bemidji’s first bar- gain day was a huge success, Let’s have more of them. P MO HONOR THE MEMORY OF OUR DEAD HEROES The Decorating Fund, to be used by the American Legion for the purpose of decorating the graves of army veterans in Greenwood cemetery, is growing, but not as fast as it should be. The amount asked, $150.00, is not too much to spend on the graves of the, heroes of our country. It is not enough, but it is much better than has been customary to spend for some time. POTATO SEED INSPECTION AND SEED CERTIFICATION Seed Potato Plots. Every potato grower who expects to grow certified potatoes is required to maintain a special seed plot each vear, or if he does nmot wish to do this to obtain seed potatoes frcm a grower who does maintain ‘one. (Di- rections for growing a seed plot can be obtained from the County Agri- cultural agent.) In order to faoilitate the market- ing of certified seed potatoes it is strongly urged that the growers in a given community grow not more than three of the standard varieties recommended for Minnesota. Avpplication for Inspecticn. Time limit. All applicaiions for inspection must be made to the chief inspector by July 1st of the year in which inspection is desired . on blanks which will be supplied on re- quest from the chief inspector’s of- fice at University Farm, or from the county agent, Dvoracek. The application blank properly filled out should centain the follow- ing information: . varieties grown; acreage; history of the seed; per- formance of the seed; source of seed; was seed treated? how?; approxi- It is true, we do not measure our appreciation of these men’s heroic deeds by money, but how better can we honor their memory. than by decorating the resting place of all that is hu- man of them, and it is for this purpose tha contributions are - asked. \ A L T _POTATO INDUSTRY FORGES AHEAD Notwithstanding the lower prices and the many hundred pushe]s.nf potatoes left on the producer’s hands last year, it is! mt'erestmg to note that an increased acreage is to be planted in| anesota,.the second largest potato producing state in the“ country, this year. Seed is cheaper, and labor is more plentiful gmd cheaper-this year, which in all probalility accounts for the mcyeaged. acreage . More seed potato plots are being planted, whlc_h is intended to improve the quality of the seed and eventu-‘l ally{ increase the yield per acre.

That is pre- cisely what the world believes. It believes Germany has a carefully pre- pared plan to escnpe,'the liability it has incurred by a plea of national pov- | erty, It does not 4be_lxeve—and reports from various sections of the former empire support this incredulity—that Germany is the national bankrupt it- | self, except in the matter of honor. Escaping from the war it provoked with | a roinimum, of the devastation and suffering of war, it would carry that es- | cape still further and make the monetary penalty as light as ipossible. It | would leave unuttered no plea calculated to reduce the bill of reparations.— ‘ mate yield of field from which seed was obtained; percentage of diseases in the field from which seed was Gb- tained; ‘growing conditions in the tield from which the seed was ob- tained; crop history of field intended for certification; aproximate date of planting. Fees. Applications for certifica- fiion must be accompanied by an in- itial fee of fifty cents per acre for the number of acres for which appli- cation for inspection is made. A flat fee of $5 which includes both initfal and final fees will be charged for the inspection of all flelds up to and in-s cluding three acres. This fee is pay- able at the time application for in- spection is made. Instructions. Object. The following information must be available before sced can be certified: stand; genecral constitution- al vigor; freedom from disease; vari- |etal purity; trueness to type. | ‘Number—Thred finspections will be made at the following times: flow- {ering time; when the vines are ripe, but before 'they have died; digging |time or when the potatoes are in storage. Note. 1f bin inspection is made be- }!ore the potatoes have been graded and they comply with all other re- |quirements, the inspector shall sort out one-half bushel to show the grow- er how the potatoes must be graded to be sold as certified. This half- bushel together with one-half bushel of the ungraded stock must be sent to the office of the chief inspector. If the potatoes have -already been graded when the final inspection is made, only one-half bushel need be sent.

Requirements for Eligibility. Varieties. Only the varieties now |adopted or which may be adopted in |the future by the Minnesota Potato Growers’ association as standard va- rieties for Minnesota will be eligible for certification. - The initial list is as follows: Early Ohios; Bliss Tri- umphs; Irish Cobblers; Rural New Yorker; Green Mountain; Burbank; | Burbank Russel Rose.) { Other varieties which belong to’ any of the above groups will be cer- tified under the name of ‘the group to which the variety belongs. Varietal Purity. Fields containing any varietal mixtures at the 'me of the first inspection will not be eligible for. certification unless all foreign varieties are removed by the grower under the direction of an inspector. A field containing more than two per cent varietal mixtures will not be eligible - for -eertification under any circumstances. Constitutional #igor.
