Pet A. STATE IS PRODUCING. 600,000 BUSHELS OF PURE SEED A YEAR ——_—— Agronomist Booth Advises; Farmers Now to Turn to Improving Quality * i] Fargo, N. D., Jan, 16.—(P)—North | Dakota produced 500,000 bushels of pure seed of standard. varieties in 1929, E. G. Booth, agronomist at the state agricultural college, told those attending the secd growers school here today. ‘This quantity, if annually main- tained, is sufficient to reseed the en- tire state with good clean seed once every three years, necessary because of volunteer growth, climatic injuries and disease occuring in the commer- cial production of grain which war- rants the reselection of most seed aad end of such a period, Booth sald. Hi Many formers have become con: vinced of the merits of good seed within the past few years and, as & result, an entirely new industry has sprung up within the state, he said. Breeders of certified seed are more numerous in North Dakota, today, than breeders of purebred livestock, according to Booth. ‘As an indication of the progress of growing pure seed in North Dakota, Booth quoted 1928 Growers ......+. 92 218 508 Fields inspected 130 312 813 Acreage ....... 6,500 15,201 38,755 Speaking for the benefit of those planning to enter the business, Booth said: “New plant breeders annually are entering the ranks despite the fact that the path is a difficult one. To succeed taey must be painstaking in effort, quick to learn, and be satis- fied with a modest financial remun- eration and have pride in producing a perfect product. The new seed grower will have competition, but in this profession as in most others, there is always room for @ good man.” “A few suggestions made by Booth to beginners, are: Start with pedi- seed, select a seed bed free from volunteer grain which can not be separated, grow round carload lots unless. you Mtend to deliver your seed by truck or wagon, get in com- munication with the department of state seed certification and your county extension agent, be business- like in sales transactions and sell at a reasonable average price over the local commercial grain prices. CLAIMS CASH FROM STATE BONDING FUND Par eae een SE) Sargent County Auditor Alleges Sheriff Failed to Pay Fees to Treasurer Claim for $2,153.21 on the bond of O. H. Fiados, “sheriff of Eargent county, has been filed with the state} », bonding department by R. W. Saf- strom, Sargent county auditor. An examination showed that Flados had collected delinquent personal property taxes and fees which were not turned over to the county treasurer. In a separate letter, Safstrom said, Flados requested that no action on the claim be taken until February 1, expressing the view that he could raise a “considerable portion” of the amount he is alleged to be delinquent by that time. F. E. Tunell, bonding fund manager, said he felt that Flados may have failed to collect some of the items re- quired by law and that this may be one reason for the shortage as shown in the examiner's report. Minot Court Calendar Cleared of Rum Cases Minct, N.

Steen, after: some study of the subject, doesn’t think that such cases are numerous. A recent estimate by ® county average tractor operates ing the year and uses 25 gallons of gasoline for each day it operates. ‘With 30,000 tractors operating in the state this would mean $1,350,000 in refunds, at three cents per gallon.

He contend: that the proposed system would re- sult in no end of “grief” for whom- law. During 1929 the ‘state collected $2,564,772.34 in gasoline taxes and paid out $1,191,355.60 on 58,450 appli- cations for refunds. Total Tax Paid Of the total collections, $1,140,742.- 1@ was for the first seven months of the year and was derived from the wo-cent sod tax, while $1,424,029.60 ‘was for last five months of the year from the three-cent gas tax. The three-cent tax became effective July 1, but all collections made during duly were of the two-cent tax, since taxes due one month are not shown on the auditor's records until the next month. Of the refunds, 26,701 applications for $488,731.63 were for the first sev- en months of the year and 32,749 for $702,623.97 were for the last five months.
