THE INLAPD.. EMPIRE \JUDITH BASIN'S WEEKLY\ VOLUME SEVEN MOORE, FERGUS COUNTY, MONTANA, MARCH 14, Hilt NUMBER 28 • THE SELECTION OF GOOD SEED GRAIN Prof. Shaw Tells Where to Secure Good Seed and What Variety to Use—Supply of Grain for Seed not Equal to the Demand. The que,stion of !securing seed gr.4 good and true to name and at reason able prices is usually difficult. It is kiatcuillarly difficult at the present because of nun increased ,deman for such seed grain with but little increase in the supply. Because of this, the prices for reality good grain are soaring. To acid to the dilemma, the quality. of :the seed corn is this year distressingly low. ' Of all the small grain grown in the entire. noittlevest, but little of it is Tree from admixture froan other grains. The ,adanbuture runs all the sway from a . small quanity to not less ,than ten per cent, and the .proper - 'Liam th some instances is greater. That ..such seed should not be sown 'will not be disputed, but the question which new faces the farmers is, Oew con it he avoided? The remedy twill not come with much fullness fizitil the growers of pure seed be- e.oine far more numereus than they :.t he present t . :me. Where can good grain. be secured With an the essentials which go to make 'up good seed? It may be that Iseedsmon have some seed which they can. guarantee as true to name. Those .who wam,t such seed should try and get it, even though they +should only get a limited supply. 'This', wild supply them with good seed for the follow- ing year. Such purchases should be promptly made for, with advance in the season, all indications at pres- ent point to an advance in price even higher than the present high rates . , Pure Seed Bariley Pure seed barley is very hard to get in the American northwest, and it is certainly very dear. In, North !Dakota it has been quoted by seeds- tne.n at very high rates. , Very much of the• barley however in those states, Is greatly mixed. Such bar oey is aiwaye out severally, when it '6 gnown for brewing uses. 'The best 'barley found outside of seed houses it the present time is to be found la Montana - Pure Seed Oats It is even more difficult to get entre seed oats than to get pure seed of the other grains named, as but Oew ,samples can be secured that are free from wild oats. The best rarielies to saw are the Sixty Day ,Or dry areas, and the Swedish Select Ind White Russian for areas that tre less dry. Professor Porter's farmers can furnish some pure Sixty Daly and Swedish Select oats. Good Seed Flax This question is difficult, because ..)f the presence of the diseases snown as flax wilt. Those who want eo invest in wilt resistant flax, may Oe advised by writing to Prof. Bolley Of the experiment station, Fargo. , But it should be remembered that such flax is not necessarily wilt oroot. It is simply milt resistant. It has much more power to resist wilt than other flax, hence it should be .the aim to sow it if it can be ob- tained, and all flax sown should be treated. Good Alfalfa Seed Good alfalfa seed is steed that is clean, well matured, reasonably bright In color and that has been grown as Tar north as the southern boundary of South Dakota. If it has been grown further north it is even better. rs'esih seed is spoken, of usually as N'orthe'rn Montana. It has proved 'Itself sufficiently hardy. As the (supplY is less than the demand, it fought to be purchased as soon ars possible. Nearly all western seeds - (Continued on Page 3) CONTEST WILL BE OVER IN JUST FOUR MORE DAYS Who Will Win the Handsome Singer Piano? --Votes Piling Up These Days. -.Girls Are All Busy On next Monday at 6 o'clock The Elmpire's big Piano Contest will be a thing of the past and within a few hours after, the winners will be an- notanced.

There seems to be a general mis- understanding of the new laws' in regard to the ceiling of milk and 'cream by the dairymen, farmers and others and for the benefit of our readers we publish in full the letter of Dr. T. D. Tuttle, secretary of the (state board of health, to the Hen- ningson Produce Co., of Butte. Fol- lowing is the letter: \Question's 'frequently come to this office from dairies, especially those 'supplying milk to creameries, and imagine you are frequently asked the same questions so believe it will be well to give you replies. First, \Our cofore have not been tuberculin tested yet, can we sell milk?\ It has been impossible ter the four veterinarians provided for this work to complete the work thus Tar. The dairymateis not responsible 'for his cattle not being tested but they will be tested as soon as the veterinarians can get to them. In the me•antime he Is authorized to sell milk if lie hats taken out a license. No person Is authorized to sell milk or Creafal who has not taken out a rlicense. Licenses do not cost one cent, but application must be made for it on proper blank foran. Another question, \Our barns do not quite earne up to the regulations 'but we are getting them fixed. up as 'fast as possible. Haye we got to quit selling milk until we get our harm finished?\ Go ahead and seal 'your milk. After your plaice has been inspected you will be told what is necessary tao ,be done.
