I JnL"n nl.'O fn mnn !? ncutaana ruiitiiio rum That Certified Spuds Bring Higher Prices The ready sale of good seed at more than double the price of table stock, is stimulating interest in the production of certified seed potatoes in western Nebraska, according to information coming to the college of agriculture from county farm bureaus. Good cer tified Kebraska Triumph seed is being gobbled up by southern buyers at $2 or more a hundred pounds, against about GO cents a hundred for rating potatoes. In other words, a carload of seed is bringing about $800, against $240 for a car of common stock, says the Lincoln Star. H. O. Werner, extension horticul turist for the college, and secretary of the Kebraska Potato Improvement as sociation, has records in his office of the sale of more than twelve carload of certified seed, and some cars have heen sold about which he has not yet received information. Practical I v all of this seed went to Texas and other southern states. One grower sold three carloads of good certified seed for $2 a hundred on the track. Another sold a carload for 53.(0 a hundred delivered at Dal las, Tex. This price left him practi cally S3 a hundred net. Most growers of certified seed have received $2 per nuntireu t. o. d. western Kebraska. One reason for the growing fameof this state ithe fact that at present the dryland sections are apparently producing better Triumph seed than any other state, Mr. Werner said. Much of this seed is practically free from a disease known as Mosaic, which is playing havoc with Triumphs in some northern states. The inspection and certification service of the college has done much to establish confidence in seed potatoes from this state. Ihe potatoes are in spected in the fields and again in the bins, carefully graded, placed in new sacks, and sealed with a certification tag. The college is planning to continue the certification work in western Ke braska dryland regions. The work is done in co-operation with county farm bureaus through county agricultural agents.

The possibility of develop ing the reserves of raw material fiom the first three of these sources has been studied and reported on by the United States bureau of soils, of the department of agriculture, and the United States geological purvey, of the department of the interior, but no gov ernment report has heretofore been is sued on the potash resources cf Ke braska. In 1918 W. B. Hicks, ot the geological survey, spent three months in the alkali lake region of Nebraska, visiting the plants and the productive lakes; collecting samples of hiine, water, sand and mud for analysis; and making a general study of the region. The information he obtained ha been studied and careful estimates have been made of the quantity of potash salts in these lakes. These estimates and notes concerning the probable source of the potash salts are con tained in Bulletin 715-1, which may be had upon application to the Director of the United States Geological urey at Washington, D.

Senator Hall's bill providing for a cooling oir period loforc marriage was killed in the senate. The vote was taken vive voce, and the bill went down for the count. Fear that Iowa, Kansas, Dakota or Missouri might collect the well-known license fees if the bill passed boosted Cupid over the tape for the victorv. The bill as offered bv Senator Hull of York provided that a couple having me utMir itim inclination 10 marry couldn't fool their friends by slipping out of town and getting the knot tied. Ah, no. They had to appear before the county judge and inform him, "We wanta get hitched." And then the judge would take their names and their desire and post it in big black glaring letters on his bulle tin board, right out where the world could see it. And that had to stand for 15 days. Meanwhile the judge would write a little note to the parents of the amor ous pair and slip them the "info.' If no one appeared to kick against the coming wedding, the Romeo and Juliet would become as one with the judge's blessing. But if there was a kick ah, good bye, Cupid no Mendelssohn's march for them. But and here's what leat the bill if such should happen, there was nothing to prevent the sweethearts from slipping over the state line and paying the fee in another ttate to get the knot tied. So the bill was beaten, and Omaha) lovers may still sneak oil to Papil lion's Gretna Green and fool their friends, just like they have in years past. Post. REPORT.
