PURE SEED GROWERS QI6AHZ
Among the many inspiring meeting
aeld at the University iarm tins t
a new organization has icccived t
attention of oir yrogiessive firmeis
nnicly the Nebraska Pure Grain and
Seed Growers association
The object of this association is to
promote agricnltuie by growing larger
and better crops The members
pledge themselves to maintain a high
Etandard of pure seed production Xot
only will all seed planted origin1
from a pure uiriety but every car a
fpccia seed plot of not less than one
aci e of the uiftoi cit grains will be con
ducted on eacli farm from which al
foreign grains will be removed s
this msrner pure seed production will
be iisured Effort will be made oa
the pit of the members to not oni
nipove tie quality of their grains
bat also the yielding power through
breeding methods
From time to time the department
of experimental agionomy of theexper
inicat station has developed superior
strains of the different cereals and he3
turned them over to the farmers of
the state Eut there has never been
any way of keeping in close touch with
the groweis and the seed could not
be kept pure for any length of time
All such improved seed will now be
turned over to this association as soon
rs it has bec n fully proved to be su
perior and the members agree to keep
it pure Tn fact a skilled inspector is
appointed by the head of the experi
mental egionomy department who
will plan to visit and inspect the fields
of the nicir Lers each year and report
on the iutit of their grain Repre
scntative samples of each mans
grain will also be sent to the secre
tarys offico for inspection Purity
soundness and sermination tests will
be maJe of all such grain
A provision is made that grains
which readiy wind fertilize as corn
nust be grown far enough from each
other to im ire freedom from crossrr
The uptrioritv of such improved
cereals may be illustrated by the act
ual ircrr ased yield which farmers oat
n the state obtained this last year
from sevar l strains of pure bred Tur
key red winter wheat It has long
been known that the Turkey Red type
if winter wheat is superior to all other
winter wheat in this state both in
Scld and quality Curing the last ti
lears the average yield of wheat in
Nebrabka has been five b3hels higher
than th i avcraue yield of wheat dur
ing any of the three previous ten year
neriods This has been due chiefly to
the introduction of Turkey Red winter
wheat and the use of th press drill
Knowing the superiority of Turkey
Red wheat the experiment station un
dertook to still greater increase its
yieldine power by breeding and in
1902 this improvement was com
menced For nine years certain pure
strains of this variety have been work
ed with in the wheat nursery and
tested out in field plats Finally after
five years testing in field plats sever
al strains had proved their superiority
over the original wheat These were
increased and sent to farmers scatter
ed over nineteen counties who by
careful testing compared the yield of
the new wheat with their own seed
in yielding power An average of the
reports froji all these farmers shows
he pedigreed wheat to have yielded
five bushels more per acre on an av
erage than the growers own seed
Numerous inquiries come to the ex
periment station for pure seed of all
the grainr but as the supply is very
limited only a very small per cent of
the orders can bo filled This new
pure seed growers association will in
crease this supply and furnish a source
for such seed For all surplus seed
which passes the critical examination
of the unbiased inspector certificates
bearing the approval and guarantee
of the association will be issued AH
seed sold under this guarantee will
fcear an official tag signed by the in
spector
The officers of this essociation aie
as follows W D Stelk Phillips
president W H Ehlers Roca vice
president T A Kiesselbach of the
department of experimental agrono
my secretary and treasurer

- Harpers Ferry Va Among the
many interesting towns in the Unit

turesque and almost foreign than
Harpers Ferry Everywhere the new
screams at the old while the old
retaliates with silence conscious that
its appeal to the imagination is pre
ponderant Through the business por
tion of the little town rans Susque
hanna street extending from the sta
tion to the river from which it takes
its name and uniting with the road
which extends for many rciles down
uie vaney ine iirst impression
gained of the town is from this
street and if one is looking for the
modern City Beautiful disappoint
ment will surely result for this an
cient street has tales to tell and me
mories to cherish
It is history which claims atten
tion even before the station is out o
sight Hardly ten steps distant is
the monument erected on the spot
where John Brown took refuge in the
old engine house There too are the
tablets which tell all about it though
the Fort itself after visiting the

Scsne in Harpers Ferry
without envelopes or stamps passed
throu h its rcrtals and when in 1S12
the army of England invaded the
land the hostelry pcrved as head
quarters for a panic stricken coun
tryside
Yc this is not the oldest spot
Farther down the street looms a cot
tage whose shining coat of whitewash
belies its aneient timbers Part logs
and partly of rough hewn boards the
small house once served as a village
inn before its older looking competi
tor had dreamed of entering the
field It was here that Washington
and seme cf his cfllcers were several
times entertained It is now the
home cf Uncle Joe
It was earlier still that the town
received its name When Robert
Harper a native cf Oxford England
came to the place in 1747 there was
already a man in possession a squat
ter named Stevens who lived at
The Hole in Shenandoah street
Harper in love with the beauty of
the location bought out Stevens set
tled in his house and established the
ferry frcm which the town takes its
name In 1775 or thereabouts he
erected the old brick house on High
street in which he lived till his
death in 1782 and which half buried
in ivy still stands a fitting monu
ment to the good judgment of the
old pioneer
Ten years later when the govern
ment needed a site for an arsenal
Washington chose Harpers Ferry
In those days water power was even
more important than it is at pres
ent and in this particular the loca
tion was unrivaled The place could
be easily fortified and it was near
enough to the new capital at Wash
ington to be quickly reached Though
the rocky bed of the Potomac and
its swift current precluded naviga
tion a canal was feasible and wa3
soon under construction The canal
is still in good condition and for
many years has been owned and used
by the Chesapeake and Ohio com
pany in transporting coal from Cum
berland to Georgetown
The Shenandoah Daughter of the
Stars which unites with the Poto
mac at Harpers Ferry is no less
swift and rocky than its companion
stream and like that lordly river
its waters have been long used for
industrial purposes Mill races were
constructed at an early day and ruins
of a rifle factory a flour mill etc
