A tcur of inspection of 4-H Baby
Beeves by the Agriculture Agents of
the county last week showed that the
boys are doing a good job getting the
calves tamed down and started on
feed.
It is surprising to see the boys
come out of the barn leading the
j calves at the end of a rope halter.
; Most of the calves came off the range
jin the northwest last October. They
are pretty well tamed now and seem
to like this Cass county ensilage,
i alfalfa, hay, oats, and corn. 4-11 Baby
Beef boys socn learn that a good calf
properly fed and cared for, makes a
good 4-H project.
Since the fate of the AAA it has
been interesting to note the reactions

Pollard as winner ol the state con

Mrs. Uelbert Lindsay, of Union,
and Margie Ruth Pollard of Nehawka
received cash prizes in the 1925 con
test. Mrs. Lindsay as county win
ner competed in the state contest for
project club members and Margie
Ruth was entered in the state 4-H

The Extension Service is sponsor

mind when canning their winter meat

SALES GOING GOOD
i Rex Young, the auctioneer, is one
of the businest men in this part of
the state at the present time in
handling farm and community sales
over the entire eastern section of the
state. Mr. Young states he has but
a few open dates from now until the
first of March and that the sales that
have been held hav been exception
ally good and the live stock especially
h.13 brought a good price and with
plenty of bidders.
Euyers Warned Against Peddlers
Trucking Low Quality Seeds.
An3 trucker who is not a common
carrier and who hauls misbranded
seed from one state to peddle it in
another state violates the Federal
Seed Act, the U. S. Department of
Agriculture warns. Transporting mis
branded seed from one state to an
other is forbidden by law, but com
mon carriers are exempt. Selling the
misbranded seed in interstate com
merce is also an offense, and the
peddling trucker could be punished
for either or both of these acts.
Complaints received from state of
ficials by the Division of Seed Inves
tigations, which administers the act,
indicate that much of the seed sold
by truckers from other states has
been sold at unusually low prices.
But this cheap seed is also of un
usually low quality or otherwise
unsuitable. Truckers should be able
to handle seed that is correctly
labeled and i3 of high quality. Past
experience indicates, however, that it
i3 poor business to buy seed from a
stranger or person whose reputation
is not known. Buying cheap seed
has resulted in in injury to many
farmers who have not realized the
importance of buying seed that is
clean and free of noxious weed seeds,
seed that germinates well, and seed
of a variety adapted to the buyer's
locality.
An investigation made by depart
ment officials in one case revealed
that a truck owner was buying
screenings from a large seed house
and selling it across the state line as
good seed. Of course he was forced
to misbrand the seed to get buyers.
If the seed had been truthfully
labeled, farmers would have known
better than to buy it.
Unless he keeps a record in black
and white, a farmer has no recourse
against the person who scid him the
seed. There have been extreme cases
where the seed was not labeled, where
the buyer did not even know the
name of the trucker 01 his address,
and did not ven make a record of the
ctate and number on the license
plates. It is impossibl? for seed law
officials to be of any assistance in a
case cf this kind.
The Department of Agriculture of
ficials think it is unwise to buy seed
unles it is completely labeled and
unless the buyer gets a written record
of the transaction. Any questionable
transactions should be reported to
the state seed official who may re
port the case to the federal author
ities if it appears the Federal Seed
Act has been violated.
Inflated or ortfinary dollars
either kind will still buy most if
expended In yoijr iicrr.s commun
ity, where a part is retained to
help meet the tax Duraen and
other community oatigatlons.
