Experiment Station, West Raleigh, N C It Is a custom among some wheat growers to secure new seed from States further north every few years. It Is claimed by these growers that wheat deteriorates when grown here several years In succession. Some even believe that a part of the wheat turns to cheat. The seed gotten from further north Is said to yield better than the homegrown seed when plant ed here. Home-Grown and Northern Grown Seed Wheat Compared. In order to secure Information on this point the Experiment Station and of Agriculture have compared the yleldß from home-grown and northern grown seed wheat of the same varieties. Several varieties have been compared and in each case the home-grown seed was compared wltlv the same variety of northern grown seed. The comparisons were made at the Mountain Branch Btatlon near Aslveville and at the Piedmont Branch Station near Statesvllle. Results st ths Mountsln Btstlon. The comparisons of home-grown and northern grown seed wheat at the Mountain Branch Btation were made for three successive years. In thir teen comparisons during three years the home-grown seed produced at the rate of 16.5 bushels per acre whlie the northern grown seed produced 12.72 bushels per acre or 3.78 bushela per acre less than the home-grown seed. Bus. per acre Ylold from home-grown seed 16.6 Yield from northern grown seed 12.72 Increase due to use of home-grown seed .... 3.78 The results of the 1914 test were even more striking. In this compari son the home-grown seed produced 6,4 bushela per acre more than the northern grown. Results at the Piedmont Branch Btatlon. Similar results wore gottten at the Piedmont Branch Station. During three years (1914-1916) twenty-three comparisons were made between home grown and northern grown seed of the sumo varieties. In these tests the home-grown seed produced at the rate of 16.01 buahels per acre while the northern grown seed produced 16.26 bushels. This gives an average of three pecks per acre in favor of the home grown seed. The test of 1914 contain ed 13 comparisons in which the home grown seod averaged 1.3 bushels per ac.ro more than the northern grown. Results from Another Ststs. Similar questions have arisen in other statoa. Tho following paragraph from Bulletin 137 of the Utah Experi ment Station gives a summary of their results when home grown and out-side seed wheat were compared: "It la a common practice for big grain grow ers to aend away annually for seed wheat. thla manner large quanti ties ot seed wheat are annually Im ported Into the Intel-mountain region, under tho mistaken Impression that the home-grown seed Is Inferior In quality. The results of this Investiga tion. therefore, are of utmost practi cal importance. The practice of ship ping In seed wheat Is entirely unnec essary and wasteful. The quality ot the home-grown hard wheaU is really superior to the original seod. Good pure whoat seed should be selected of (he kind the grower desires to raise. He should then continue to raise his own seed and with proper selection he may rest assured that the quality ot the seed wUI not become inferior, hut he may have every confidence that his wheat Is ot superior quality." Deterioration or "Running Out" of Seed Whast The above resulU from three years comparison ot home-grown and north ern grown seed wheat clearly Indicate that home-grown need are preferable. If this be true what does cause deteri oration in seed wheat? The condition known aa dsterloratlon or "running out" ot seed wheat Is usually due to poor care of the seed. Too often our wheat fields are Infeatad with wild onions, cheat mustard, and other weeds. Wheat containing aead of such weeds Is unfit for seed purposes. Wheat that Is damaged in the field, stored wet or stored In damp bins will soon become unfit for seed pur poses. Such conditions would causa deterioration of seed wheat In any sec tion of the country. Hew Csn Ons Secure the Beat Seed Wheat The beet variety of wheat for a sec tion la one that has been chosen on field service and is secretary to Col onel Brown, ot the 40th Division. Various cream cooling devices are now being studied at the Mooresvllls Co-operative Creamery by Mr. W. H. Eaton. Office of Dairy Experimenta tion, North Carolina Experiment Sta tion. Slgfrled Sonneck. one of the 1 Ger mans Interned at Hot Bprlngs, escsp ed. according to a message from that point to the office of the United States marshal at Aahevltle and a gen eral alarm has been aont out tor him. Representative Hood announced a few days ago that a mohtllnitlon camp will be established at Morenead City It the war department finds that sleep ing facilities can be found there. He expressed a belief that one of the hotels can be uaed for that purpose. The Field Hospital corps of North Carolina, which haa been encamped at AshevllJe for the past two weeks haa arrived at Camp Sevier and aet up account of Its high yield and quality, end then further improved in the lo cality by selecting seed from the beet plants. One can easily eelect suffi cient good seed from a field to plant a Beed patch. A small seed patch could be kept free from wild onions and mix tures of other grains. By this method one could be sure of producing the best seed for hie section. . What Can Be Dons Now. The high price of wheat is likely to result in a shortage of home-grown seed for planting this fall. Thla may be avoided by eaving the best seed now. Growers who have good seed should have the best for planting this fall. Seedsmen of the state who have not yet collected their supply should use every effort to secure the beat North Carolina grown seed. Millers who have good seed wheat grown in the state may benefit themselves and the growers of their community by saving the best seed.

By O. J. McConnell, Cotton Grading Division of Markets, Agricultural Extension Service, Weat Ral eigh, N. C. It will probably be surprising to the farmers In those counties not having the grading service last season to lefcrn that more than one-half of the cotton raised In North Carolina laat year was better than Middling. The mllla bought this cotton as being bet ter than middling and probably paid $500,000 more for it than they would have paid for middling. Did the far mera In your county get better than the Middling price for more than one half their cotton T On the answer to this question depends the answer to whether It will pay your county to se cure the services of an official grader. The cost to the counties Is very low, varying In amount with the number'of bales produced. The actual grading Is done by men In the Joint employ of the State and Feddlral Agricultural authorities, hut some assistance from counties la neceasary and the follow ing amounts will be required from each county aerved: Alamance, $10; Alexander, S2O; An son, $250; Beaufort $100; Bertie, $100; Bladen, $100; Brunswick, $10; Cabar rus, $100; Camden, s2o; Carteret, S2O; Catawba, $76; Chatham. $75; Chowan, SSO; Cleveland, $200; Columbus, $100; Cravan. $75; Cumberland. $250; Curri tuck. $10; Davidson, $10; Davie, sl6; Duplin, $100; Durham, $10; Edge cqmbe, $250; Franklin, $100; Gaston. $76; Gates, SSO; Granville, 910; Greene 9100; Halifax, 9250; Harnett 9200; Hertford, 9100; Johnston, 9260; Jones, 976; Lee, 976; Lenoir, 9160; Ltneoln, 975; Martin, 9100; Mecklenburg, 9260; Montgomery, 960; Moore, 926; Nash, 9260; Northampton, 9176; Onalow, 975; Orange, 910; Pamlico. $76; Pasquo tank, 950; Pender, 920; Perquimans, 975; Pitt, 9260; Polk, 910; Randolph. 910; Richmond, 9176; Robeson, 9260; Rowan, 976; Rutherford, 9100; Samp soa, 9250; Scotland, 9260; Stanly, 975; Tyrrell, 910; Union, sttH>; Vance, 925; Wake. 9210; Warren. 9100; Waahtng ton. 925; Wayne. 9260; Wilson, $250, It now appears that owing to ths growing freight congestion North Car olina mills will be compelled to ase more cotton that Is grown locaßy than haa been the caao heretofore. Pann ers who have had their cotton offi cially graded will be In much battel position to reap the oeneflts that thla should bring about than those who are "Belling a Pig In a Poke" insofar aa they are concerned. The grading service gives the foun dation for successiul marketing, via. standardisation according to a univer sal standard. Btandariaation provldeJ only one prime requisite remains- Quantity—which can be obtained bj pooling or sslllng together. It cannot be too strongly Impressed upon all concerned that the cottor grading service Is merely applying one of business' efficient methods to the farmers end ot the proposition and that to get good service proper provla lon muat be made In time to enabW the Cotton Grading office to ptepart to render It Enqutrlea relative to Cotton Grad ing and Marketing will receive promp attention If directed to O.

Vast numbera of associatlona and government agenciea throughout the country are urging every hour the growing and conservation of food stuffs. Tbe reports so far from the Department of Agrioalture indicate aa enormous yield for tbe year. But planting and raising crops will not suf fice. Every care must be exercised toward the prevention of tbe destruc tion and waste of the food after it has beea made and housed. A few weeks ago a grain elevator in Chicago was destroyed by lire and with 1 it whsat sufflcisnt to make (0,000,000 loaves of bread. Taking this amount of bread and estimating the amount of flour used by baksrs In making 1 bread, and figuring by the army Quar termaster Department's allowance for feeding a soldier, this wheat de stroyed would furnish the first incre ment of the new national army com posed of 87,000 men in bread for nearly two months.

Hundreds and thousands ot young man have within the past few months walk ed into recruiting stations and volun teered to lay (heir lives at the disposal of the American government to pros ecute this war. To those who stay Ut home it Is but a small effort to pat forth to practice the eternal vigi lance that will prevent the llres which may destroy foodstuffs, every ounce of which Is sorely needed at this time to feed America's soldiers. America's al llee and America's women and chil dren who must remain at home anil fight the battles that are absolutely essential to "keep the heme fires burning." Appealing to city and county offi cials throughout North Carolina to Join with the department in lending aid to a nation wide campaign against preventable firs waste, Insurance Com missioner James R. Young recently Is susd a letter which was sent to these officials and to a number of other pub PARAMOUNT DUTY IS TO CONSERVE FOOD " -c 4 / Some Pertinent Facta are Brought out in Argument Favor ing Effort to Reduce Fires Where They Will Consume Foodstuffs and Other Supplies Needed in This *" Emergency la an article headed "The Treaaon of Waste", In a recent bulletin Issued by one of the largest Insurance com panies In America some pertinent facts are brought out In argument favoring every effort looking to the prevention of fires where they will consume foodstuffs and other sup plies needed in the great emergency the United States is now facing. Day by day the people of the country are being brought face to face with the fact that America la actually at war. More and more they are being brought to realize that the time has arrived when every saving of whatever na ture will bring its reward to the fragal. The one outstanding fact that needs to be emphasized just at this time is that foodstuffs destroyed by fire con stitutes a total loaa. Insurance money collected does not replace the actual foodatufls. The people cannot eat money. The paramount duty, there fore, la to conserve the food supply after the crops have been harvested. Every thinking American realizes that there Is going to be a certain amount of foodstuff aent to the bot tom of the Atlantic by submarines after It haa been shipped, probably to feed American soldiers who are fight ing In France. That part haa to be allowed for. That tact makes It all the more essential that svery ounce of foodstuff made must be protected against carelessness which will lead to tts destruction. Some of the suggestions In the big Insurance company's bulletins are as follows: "Waste BOW borders on treaaon — nothing laaa. And so does extrava gance insofar as It means waste. It Is difficult for this obvious and un pleasant fact to penetrate the con science of the average person. But It Is true nevertheless. And we will either accept thla fact by the easy process of reason or have It driven Into our minds and hearts by the heavy hand of war. "No loyal American wants to help the enemy, and yet we are doing It every day.

"In this time of eaurgtasy," the statement says, "loss of foods tads Is total lots. Insurance money collect ed does not replace the aotMl food stuffs. Our people cannot eat money.

"In the name of common humanity and common sense, let us at one* adapt ourselves to the extraordinary war conditions which have com* up on us. We must adjust our minds, our work, our pleasures, and our expendi tures, and in fact our lives to the new order of things.
