BOLLEY OW is the time for the North Dakota improved seed growers and farm- ers to make a new start in crop production. Now is tke time to start on the work of seed .ad seed stock im- provement. You can start such lmprovement if you: commence before you plant the crop. After the crop is planted you must take what grows from it. - The following will not improve cereal cropping: ; (1) Talking about improvement. (2) Listening to somebody talk about it. (3) Sowing the same old seed on the same old ground and by using the grain as it comes from the threshing machine or out of the ele- vator for seed. (4) Sending away to somebody else for a “new” kind of seed, or the same kind of seed because it was grown on some other kind of land. (5) Seed exchange, of itself, will not improve crops. Beware of constant cropping of any crop on any land. If you sow a new kind of seed wheat on the same old wheat stubble. land where you have always been constantly cropping wheat you can not expect that new wheat to make an improvement in your agriculture. Improvement does not come that way. Disease, weeds and crop pests do. Improvement in cereal agriculture and in seed grow- ing comes about by making improve- ment in the seed itself before plant- ing, and improvement in the seed bed on which the crop is to be grown. Crop improvement starts at the home farm and lives or dies there. WHY NOT RAISE SOME PURE SEED? What to Do:" 1. Start a seed plot this year for each of the kinds of crop you intend to improve. 2. Get the best available seed of each kind. (1) Lay out a seed plot for each. (2) Be sure the surface drainage is good. (3) There should be no chance for volunteer grain. 3. Lay out the seed field so that it will be big enough to have all your seed plots together. Number them 1, 2, 8, 4, etc. Make a book record of all plots. In future years shift the crop so as to make a good crop rota- tion. This prevents volunteering and helps to fight weeds and diseases. Raise seed enough on each seed plot to insure seed for main crop next year. In the best seeds now available there will be some admixtures. I have not found any entirely free. kubanka, *pure” arnautka, “pure” marquis, “pure” Swedish se- lect, “pure” Oderbrucker, “pure”’ Minnesota 13, “pure” Early Ohio— none of these exist. Why not raise some this year? As soon as the grain plots are in head pull out all false heads and the weeds which pro- duce inseparable seeds.. If this can not be done while the grain is stand- ing, finish it from the bundle before threshing. (1) Stack the grain of each seed plot separately. (2) Thresh it separately. (3) Store it separate- ly. (4) Keep it dry. : : In the Case of Potatoes: the best form of tuber possible. Cut the ‘stem’ end ofl’ to allow you to seed. ' about—there must be no more war. ~ oppose with all our might the ‘jingoes Select . 2 _party, in the Natmn. was $70. So the rich are made richer and the poor poorer.

Spray three times during the summer with Bordeaux mixture, plus paris green. Pull up and burn all hills which show yellow or wilted vines. This potato plot should be on land which has not had potatoes on before. For the Corn Plot: Select the variety you like. Test the ears, and get a stand of not more than three stalks per hill and not less than two. You want ears, not fodder. Plant it both ways. Cultivate it once a week; twice if it is dry weather. Pull the weeds out of the hill. Cut out and burn the smut. As soon as the earli- est ears are mature, so that grains begin to be glazed, select enough for seed plot next year. Select for proper form of ear, height on stalk, depth of grain, etc. Then, if a frost fails to come, sort the rest of your ma- tured corn for your general crop. Do not grow other corn nearby. Two or three such seed growers in each township in North Dakota would revolutionize crop production in this state. The seed plot and home production of seed for the gen- eral farm on some such lines is the road to improved cereal -cropping, corn production and potato produc- tion. : It will be possible for the state seed commissioner to certify to the qual- ity of the general crop if it is grown on clean land from seed plot produced If you want to sell certified, stand- ardized seed of any sort, get busy. If you want your potatoes certified as to freedom from rot and scab or to standardize your wheat and have it certified and listed, start a seed plot. If you want to win the chief prizes at the county fair, state fair, or at the annual seed growers’ contest, or to improve crop production, start a seed plot for each such crop. Cease depending on the other fellow for seed. Remember, he can only sell as good as somebody like you raises. ‘Do not go away from home for the seed for the farm. Let the other fellow do that. ] LABOR AND PEACE TERMS “The American Labor party gives resolute support to President Wilson’s 14 points and a real league of nations. The draft which the president has brought back from Europe may be thé best he could wring from the diplo- mats, but it falls short of what labor everywhere expects. While others grasp for trade and territory and punitive indemnities, labor keeps its mind on the only object worth talking That result can not be obtained by half-way measures. We demand hon- est self-determination in Ireland as well as in all disputed territories. We demand honest disarmament. We want the open-door policy everywhere, open discussion and open trade. We will not help guarantee any imperfal- ist peace. At the same time we shall - like Senators Poindexter, Reed and Lodge, who want isolation, conserip- tion and conquest. As between them and Wilson we are for Wilson, but we are not behind Wilson.. We are a long way . ahead - of him.” — WILLIAM KOHN, chairman of American Labor om Factory To Farm i VRlICHT FRKPAID - . —~_ Our Prices Wiil Surpnse You We sell a T-line wire 26 inches high, close mesh hog fence, with 80 stays to the rod, all heavy wire, full 9% and 121 gauge and heavily galvanized for 42c¢ per rod.
