"Why should I have to pay $18.00 per bushel for red clover se=d from seedsmen when farmers all around me only get from $8.00 to $11.00 at the thresh- er last fall? is a common question heard at this time. On the surface, it looks as if the seed trade were doing very well indeed & the only wonder woulid be that more people were not en- gaged in this business. But a trip through the nearest seed- tion very thoroughly. = Seedmen point out that there are no gov- ernmect regulations in regard to buying and while they +o encourage only puying of farm cleaned-up seed, this does mean by any means that the cover, ~lralfa and timothy purchas f Graded Seed of Certain Definite ¢ ~Jard--To Meet This Sometimes As High As 50 Per Cent si +. viginal Volume Must Be Screened Ont-- Sand, Chaff and Weed Seeds. 5 . poor quality crop. cleaned up seed, but his work is primary noxious weed, and only cleaning plant answers the ques- are trving' not' ed from the producer in the Fall} is in fit shape for selling. They federal law however, is very strict' about the kind of seed offered for' sale. In fact, in some quarters it is considered too strict as th standards are set so high that i makes the seed very expensive to reach them and in consequence there is a great temptation in the country - for - producers to buy cheaper and ungraded seed from their neighbour. * The hme fanning mill cleans out a great deal of the sand, chaff and other large, heavy or very light material, and when the seed i cleaned up in this manner before being offered to the seed merchant much of the hazard of the old style of buying "in the rough" 1s removed, and the producer of the good crop gets a premium, as he should, over the producer of thc The seed buy this 15 merchant prefers to just beginning after he gets it.

Other lovers than the one being clean- ed, too, must be got rid of some way or other and in the case of sweet clover, which is a very seri- ous factor in this respect, it is sometimes impossible to get rid of it.

People do many things in life entirely leaving out the element of thought This world would be a much "better world, a much better place to live in, if each person would simply put his thinking cap on & wear it at the performance of each deed, significant or seemingly in- consequential. In the office, in the shop, in the home, in the social arena, in public places, everywhere, thought would play well ite part. The think shop # one of the most important properties of the human makeup. Lack of proper thought promotes misery, WoITy, discontent, sadness, sufferiag, ignorance and hundreds of things that should - be destroyed rather than promoted. The man who thinks is the man "who does things efficiently and it is likewise with the woman who! thinks.

This ques- tion, asked by the Fourth Estate provides much. food for rumina- tion. It is an interesting conjecture. AAdvertising largely takes the place of personal selling effort, which is very much more expens- ive. A California editor cogitating on the possibility of a cessation or wdvertising says: : "It would mean that our rail- road trains would be thronged with salesmen whose homewa:d bound mail would carry fewer or- ders, all of smaller volume than now. "Distribution upon the present scale would be impossible. Manu- facturing would fall off, with a consequent decrease in labor de- ifhand. Jobbers would find their business proportionally limited. 'Retailers would make fewer and slower turnovers. Prices of all { commodities would take a rise "that would make war prices and ante-war prices seem low by com- harison. allowing thought to "invade the territory of proper execution. Since thinking is such an impor- tant and necessary element in the business of life, it should be fully restored to by all the people, all the time. ThereforeThink. Lets go Sh Everybody Think!
