Breaking | and cracking of the grains in thresh- | ing also is responsible for a consider- able loss of germination in some cases. ‘The reason for this delayed ger- mination is not well understood, but is believed to be due to a slig't im- maturity of the germ. If the tests are first subjected to a temperature of about 40 degrees Fahrenheit for three or four days better results usually are secured. A similar condition !s found with much of the barley this year. Stresses Smut Evil Anew Importance of treating seed wheat for smut is emphasized by a study showing that not one but two distinct species of stinking smut commonly attack wheat in North Dakota, ac- to W. E. Brentzel, plant pathologist for the experiment sta- tion at the North Dakota Agricultural college. The two species of stinking smut which are present in about equal) quantities in the wheat fields of North Dakota are known technically as tilletia levis and tilletia tritici, and in general, the former attacks the bread wheat varieties and the latter the durums. A very important exception, how- ever, is that three varicties of bread the experiment station at Fargo and pt the sub-station at Dickinson.

While many en- rollments have been received from various parts of the state, Mr. Denner declares that Benson county is far out in the lead. The purpose of the various projects is to stimulate the use of better meth- ods of breeding, feeding, care and management of livestock. Many cash Prizes and trophies are offered to the winners by the North Dakota Live- stock Breeders association, the na- tional breed organizations and other livestock interests. In the pork production contest the awards are based on the average number of pounds of pork produced Per sow in 180 days, all the sows in the herd being entered.

No doubt her displeasure had inspired what she had said to Mildred, but Mildred’s fiery comeback had him. He had y g: aie ©1920 ov mea stance, me Conner are to be there. AES U & PRY.

Richard Barthelmess is now heard as well as seen.

And even less did he kyow that she had been crowing more and more re- sentful all evening. and that he was mostly to blamé for it. He'd have laughed outright of the notion of his being jealous of Huck Connor. But he would not have denied that it upset him to see Pamela alone with the man. He'd heard the story of how she'd met Huck, but he hadn't supposed it would go any further. Pamela herself had told him she thought Huck had been mixed up in something queer. Suddenly it occurred to him that Mildred may have resented his at- tempt to include Pamela in the party. Perhaps she knew that Pamela would not like it. “I certainly was dumb,” he told himself, and wished that he could explain his reason. He hated tc have Mildred thinking he was tactless and inconsiderate, but how was hc ‘o tel! her that he’d only been trying to see that Pamela went home? That he was afraid Huck would induce her to go to some night club? The noise of the train made inti- mate conversation difficult. Mildred was thankful that it did. Stephen's manner convinced her that he was certainly not having a good time. Surely this would be the end of their friendship; he'd never want to take her out again. On the walk from the subway to her home Mildred scarcely uttered a word. She was angry with herself because she felt she'd been badly treated. And she didn’t want to feel sorry for herself! There was no rea- son for crying just because a man she hardly knew liked another girl better than her! Chilled by her silence, Stephen had as little to say. She did not ask him in to share the pot of hot chocolate and the nut cake her mother had promised to provide, though he climbed the stairs with her and said good night at the door. It was a good night the cold- ness of which would have been appro- priate for parting enemies, for both were locked in the stiffness of a trifl- ing misunderstanding, and were as distant as though hatred motivated them.

D., April 3—Stu- dents at the University of North Da- kota returned to school today after a four-day Easter recess, to be greeted by deficiency reports in scholarship which are now being sent out from the registrar's office. Following school regulations, the reports are sent out monthly to all students who fail to do satisfactory work in their courses. It is the second report sent out this semester, TRAINS OF CEMENT BIG BUILDING INDEX Duluth Plant Sends 135 Cars Into State for Spring and Summer Construction with the quipment of a hundred years ago, for with modern machines and appliances, he can do this work much better and more quickly.

Both Mildred and Stephen were absorbed in the play. Neither paid any attention to the new-comers. Mil- dred was leaning forward in her seat, the better to see around the rather large and bushy head of the man in front of her. This brought her features instantly into Pamela's view when the latter took her place beside Stephen. Pamela settled herself quietly, but her lips turned upward in a satis- fied sneer that foretoid trouble for someone. Huck reached an arm at her back to help adjust her wrap, but she shrugged negatively and hugged the ermine closer. Stephen did not become aware of her presence there in the seat next to him until the lights were turned up. Even then he'd talked with Mil- dred for a full minute before he learned of it. It was a startled expression that suddenly flared over Mildred’s fea- tures that brought him around to see what had caught her eye. He found himself looking into Pamela's falsely smiling face. “Sorry you couldn't join us,” she said coolly. “Better luck next time.” Mildred heard her, of course, but the insult was too covert to be openly resented. Instead she waited to hear what reply Stephen would make. Would he let pass Pamela’s implica- tion that his date with her, Mildred, had cost him better company for the evening? ** * Stephen failed entirely to get the double meaning behind Pamela's spoke and recognized Huck. His brows drew quickly together in a sharp line of disapproval. Pamela saw it and believed it was inspired by jealousy. She leaned back in her seat and threw her wrap off with a slow grace. ‘The smile on her face was infuriating to Mildred. “How's the show?” Huck asked. “Pretty good,” Stephen ‘answered. And he had just been telling Mildred it was a wow.
