To no Inconsiderable measure. it de pends upon what kind of seed are sown. Often absolute failure a are caused by pluming poor aeed. that will not grow or, still worae, seed that is badly adulterated with serious weeda, wijlch entirely ruin- the land for cer tain agricultural purposes, often upon which the farmer most depends, That there is a great difference In tho. farm set-da ao'd . in the state ia forcibly shown by "he. differenceiu the results of the analysis made at the seed teating baboratory of tbe depart ment of agriculture, cooperating with the niied States department. For ex ample, tho resulta of the 125 teats of red clover seed made thia spring by the seed laboratory ranged all the wy from 50 per ceut. tp !9.6 per cent pure seed and from 20 pur ceut to 1'7 per cent, germination; Some contain ed no weed seeds at all, while others contained more than 80,000 to the pound. Some samples contained more .ban iu per cent, of dodder or love vine, which is the worst of all peats that occur iu clovers aud alfalfa. This great difference In tbe quality of eeod Is not only true iu case of ted clover but of all the farm seeds. Not only the loss o(i money "paid for tbe seeds, which ia really a small item, but the failure to obtain crops can be prevented by Knowing tne vlue uf the seed which is planted The department will make testa of all agricultural and vegetable seeds for any farmer in tbe state free of charge and leporla will be aent to him promptly. In case the seed does not come up to the standard of good seed the lot may be returned to the dealer from whom it was purchased aud tbe money refunded or a good quality of aeed given in exchange, which ever the purchaser desires. In submitting samples to be tested, for tbe smaller seeds, such as red clover and-the gcaaaea, one half of a teacup will be anfficient; for the larger aeed, such aa the cereals, more should be sent.

J. t 01 nelt. Atlanta, Ga., April. 24. --In deny ing the application for pardon filed by Thomas Edgar Stripling, former chief of police of Danville, Y'a., under sentence of life Imprisonment for the murder of William J. Cornett, Gov ernor Rrown, lu a review of the case, made public late Saturday nlgbt, ex coriates the "unwritten law," which Stripling plead In Justification of hia act, 11 siipheu'lsni presenting, ' when masked, "the hideous fea litres of anarchy." - "One of the most dangerous evila menaclug our Institutions I lawless ness, declared tne governor. . "The mob executing In wild dis order It victim, and the individual wreaking hia own revenge for wrongs real or Imaginary, the man or inter est treating with contempt the laws of Ibe land and trusting to gold or influence' for safety, are striking manifestations of this spirit of law lessness." While expressing profound sym pathy for Strtpling'a family and high respect for the Impulses which pfompted hia friends to apply for a pardon for him. Governor Crown says that sympathy and per so nit friendship have no right to supplant an oath-bound duty to execute the law of Georgia. ....... "Above the rolling tide and ob- souring fog of sympathetic plea and emotions we cannot fall to tee (he rock of the recoder which showa that Thomas Edgar Stripling, by a Jury of hia peers, waa convicted of the murder of a felioer man, conUnut-s ' the governor, "that he afterward vio lated a second law of Georgia by breaking Jail and fleeing to another state, and that, enmeshed in the complications of his crime, his own brether-ln-law, Terrell Hnff, was sent to the penitentiary, within which he was confined at hard labor until. through doubta aa to hia guilt, he waa set free on recommendation of the prison commission. I greatly re gret, therefore, that under the condi tions. I do not feel Justified in in terrupting in this case the due pro cess of law." Governor Rrown diacusses SI rip- ling's life after be broke jail in 18x7 nd doea not find It sufficiently spot less to entitle blm to a pardou and continued liberty aa hta friends had hoped. Not one man in several hundred kills one man," says the governor. "Not one roan tn -i.Ooo killa two men and intentionally wound an other, and, while an officer of tbe w, I ftned once for opprobrious language f profanity 1 and once for lolence toward yet another man. Hut thia I Stripling's record alar he killed Cornett. I do not say that he wa not within the scope of hta duties in each of the tragic Incidents marking hta career since he fled from this state, but I submit that they Im pair the power to claim that bis life Virginia la above suspicion and per re entitle him to a pardon in Georgia."
