His latest role is that of a member of the university wrestling team. Last Saturday evening the univer sity of Nebraska's wrestling team met the team from Indiana's university ! and Stone upset the dope bucket Farmers, LSsteoS You've been warned to after I mentioned rfnof -fvnm We gladly admit that our seed comes to you from a country chipper, with only 20 years experience and cleaned in a little country town, with cleaning machinery of the latest design, electrically driven and the best that money can buy. We farmers have been purchasing Seed House seed for many years some of which is good, but to look at some of it would make you think they had no cleaners at all. Why boast of $60,000 worth of cleaning machinery and sell i's "pure" alfalfa seed containing up to 20 r sweet clover seed, together with weed seeds beyond description, when a $100 feed mixer would do the trick? I also agree that 40 years of experience should work toward efficiency in this profitable mixing business. Now listen, Mr. Seed House Exponent: One of these so-called reputable seed houses not so far away purchased in December two carloads of low grade 2 and 3-year-old Sweet Clover Seed from this same little country ship per, who sells all his high quality new crop seed direct to farmers. The off-grades and carry-over stock goes to seed houses at very low prices. LOOK for it when you purchase seed house, seed. But, per haps with $60,000 worth of machinery they can purify it and actually change it to a 1928 (new crop) seed? Now, a word about this little country shipper, who is a Master Farmer, producing seed good enough to be shipped to three foreign countries following the war, and ships annually into a dozen or more states. He has received certificates of merit from the U. S. Dept. of Agriculture, State College of Agriculture and Governor of his state for pminpnt c; rendered in development of agricultural thought and practice. He is now at Pierre, elected to the Legislature Kv - bors and farmer friends. Did v i i - . man elected to a high office in STOP seeing red, Mr. Seed House Exponent. r Our seed complies with the laws of all the states and is positively the highest quality seed offer- ea tne public this season. A few years ago you attempted to purchase a carload from this little average country shipper, and failed. Well, his seed is cleaned better today than in 1 925. So LISTEN, Farmers: When I first sold you Sweet Clover seed, it was at a saving of $3.25 per bushel and help ed to restore competitive prices, and Quality seed always. A Carload of New Crop Seed just Unloaded If you Missed Out at the Car, We can Supply you from Our Stock at Farm W. F- when.he stayed with Scott who was a wrestler on the last Olympic team. The Daily Nebraskan has the follow ing to say concerning this particular match. -A feature of the match was the courageous fight put up by Julian ! Stone who wrestled in the 165 class , country. tione put up a courageous fight and stayed with his opponent the full ten minutes receiving one of the greatest ovations ever given to a Cornhusker wrestler."
