BUYERS WARNED OF
TRUCKING L
(Since Cherokee county borders on
two other state?, A. Q. Ketner, county
agent, suggests printing the following
articles which will prove of
immense interest to local farmers
who will be buying seed soon. Seeds f
of inferior quality has long proven aj
set-back to the agricultural interests
of this county, he says, and a timely |
warning to all is to be found here? t
the ed).
Any trucker who is not a common
carrier and who hauls misbrandcd
seed from one State to peddle it in
another State violates the Federal j
Seed Act, the U. S. Department of
Agriculture warns. Transporting mis- j
branded seed from one State to an- '
other is forbidden by law, but com-1
mon carriers are exempt. Selling I
the misbranded seed in interstate j
commerce is also an offense, and the {
peddling trucker could be punished .
for either or both of these acts. |
Complaints received from State officials
by the Division of Seed Investigations,
which administers the Act,
indicate that much of the seed sold
by truckers from other States has
been sold at unusually lew prices.
But this cheap seed is also of unusually
low quality?or otherwise unsuitable.
Truckers should be able
to handle seed that is correctly labeled
and is of high quality. Past experience
indicates, however, that it
is poor business to buy seed from a
stranger or person whose reputation
is not known. Buying cheap seed has
resulted 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 Department
officials in one case revealed
that a truck owner was buying screen
ings 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 lab- j
eled, farmers would have known bet- j
ter than to buy it. I
Unless he keeps a record in black t
and white, a farmer has no recourse j
against the person who sold him the }
seed. There have been extreme cases r
where the seed was not labeled,
where the buyer did not even know j.
the name of the trucker or his ad. v
dresses, and did not even make a record
of the State and number on the
license plates. It is impossible for I
seed law officials to be of any assistance
in a case of this kind.
The Department of Agriculture of- K
ficials think it is unwise to buy seed $
unless it is completely labeled and v
unless the buyer gets a written record
of the transaction. Any ques- j
tionable transactions should be re- t
ported to the State seed official who e
may report the case to the Federal p
authorities if it appears the Federal p
Seed Act has been violated. r

I .amhinir Time Is
A Critical Period
Lambing time is a critical period
with sheep on the farm. Much of the
year's work may be lost at this time
if the ewes and lambs are not given
careful attention.
L. I. Case, animal husbandman at
State College, has given the follow,
ing suggestions for keeping the ewes
and lambs healthy and thrifty:
Bred ewes should gain in weight
from the breeding season until
lambing time. Permanent pasture,
winter rye, rye grass, wheat and oats,
together with a good quality of legume
hay will usually furnish sufficient
feed until one month before
lambing time.
Then give the ewe half a pound of
grain per day, more if she is thin.
Also give her two to two and a half
pounds of good legume hay and
gome succulent feed such as winter
pasture, sweet silage, or roots.
i
?wu icgunic nay is very important,
but if it is not available a wheat
bran and protien concentrate will
come nearest to furnishing the food
elements needed.
Watch the ewes carefully when
they are about to lamb. Pen them by
themselves at night. Reduce the grain
feed until the lambs are three or
four days old, then increase it gradually
to a pound or more per day for
each ewe.
Sometimes weak lambs need assis.
tance in getting milk until they are
strong enough to get it for themselves.
Feed the ewes for milk production,
as the lambs should have all the milk
they can get. After the lambs are
three or four weeks old, place legume
hay and grain before them so they I
will begin to eat it.
I.ambs intended for market should '
be docked and castrated when 10
days to two weeks old.

Money To Be Made Available Soon
Opponents contended it would cost
he government $1,000,000,000 more
han it promised to pay in 1925, and
hat the move may place the nation's
redit in a dangerous position.
To questions of Senator Thomas
D., Okla.), as to how soon the money
ould be made available in view of
he fact the bill merely authorized
he funds to cash the bonds Senator
[arrison said, "just as soon as posble."
"There will be some delay in geting
immediate cash," Harrison said,
because of the mechanics of acceptrcg
applications, deducting loans and
ther matters.
"I am assured that in event this
ecomes law, the machinery will be
et in motion to take care of the sitation."
Only one amendment was approved
y the senate and that was offered
y Harrison. This alteration wrote

morisonment for a.nv fraud in oh.

By 65 to 23, an amendment by

was rejected. A similar proposal by
Senator Thomas (D., Okla.), was defeated
on Saturday by a 64 to 27
vote.
King Amendment Voted Down
An amendment by Senator King
(D., Utah), to pay only the cash sur- ]
render, or present, value of the cer- |

jury an estimated $1,200,000,000 was
' shouted down. King's "aye" was the
only audible one in the affirmative.
A vote of 50 to 38 turned down a
motion to reconsider previous rejection
of an amendment, by Senator
Connally (D., Tex.). It would have
extended bonus benefits to 2,257 "provisional"
first and second lieutenants
who served in the regular army in the
World War and resigned the first
year after the Armistice.
Connally and Senator Rus?ell (D.,
Ga.), argued strenuously for the
amendment, declared it would avoid
"rank discrimination," but they got
nowhere after Harrison had stated
the war department was opposed to
the proposition.
