Into
All successful farmers know tlint
one of the flist reiiulremcnts for
raising n maximum crop of any class
Is a seed bed well prepared. A well
prepared seed bed means not only
that tho land shall be well plowed
and harrowed, but also that Its me
chanical cond'tlou ahull lie such that
all available moisture and plant food
may he reached by tho roots of the
plants grown thereon. In many In
stances this means that plowing of
the lnnd may evon prove a drawback,
most especially when the crop is to
be planted within a Tew days after
plowing.
After the seed bed, tho Item of
(Tho Oregonlan.) most Importance for the raising of n
SHINGTON, Dec. 24. A land maximum crop, Is that of the seed to
no pianteii. une 01 me moai import
ant Items regarding seed In this sec
tion Is tb.o variety of tho crop. An
other Important Item Is the purity of
tho seed, especially with alfalfas,
clovers and grains, and still another
very Important item is that of vitali
ty of the seed or Its germinating

Tho results obtained from nil of tho
other seed nbovo mentioned was gen
erally better than results obtained
from other vnrletles pf snmu crops
planted this season. Mnny other va
rieties of the grain gnvo practically
as good results' as tho varieties men
tioned but Judging from nil results
obtained this year tho varieties of nil
crops here recommended, together
with Illuo Stem wheat and Shndeland
Challonge onta for the Irrigated lands
and tho Sixty day oats for dry land
liavo been proven tho best varieties
for Crook county. Sweet Clover has
become a popular crop throughout
tho county nnd will prove In tho fit
turo, in my opinion, ono of tho most
profitable crops wo can raise for t
to 10 years at least.
Tho majority of un na farmers
loavo tho purchase of our seed for
crops which wo expect to grow until

this way mnny of us are unable to oh-

A considerable reduction In prlco
and especially good seed was obtain
ed Inst year by fanners clubbing their
orders for tho seed mentioned In this
article. I Bhnll be very slad Indeed
to assist tho farmers of Crook coun
ty this year In the purchase of their
seed. Tho county now has over 20
farmers .organizations within Its
boundaries nnd It will bo well for
members of these organizations nnd
ludivlduat farmers to consider nt
onco tho matter of purchasing their
seed for Bprlng crops. I am today
writing for prices on all of tho seed
which wo may need In Crook county
nnd shall bo glad to assist In clubbing
ordors nnd obtaining seed. Would
especially urge that all those expect
ing to purchnso sweet clover, nlfilfn
nnd other clover seed get busy nt
onco. N. W. Gray of Deschutes has
n considerable nmount of sweet clover
seed for snln ut 22 cents per pound In
100 pound lots or 211 cents per pound
In less quantity. When his supply Is
exhausted I will hnvo prices from
other soul ccs on Wo In my omco. I
especially would recommend tho club

Going to school Is compulsory, tho
state demands It; but going to church
is optional, no power enn make a per
son go If thoy do not wish to go.
Going to church la n matter of
conscience ns well as a habit. It all
depends upon that, but this does not
prevent us or ns ministers of the
Gospel stirring up tho non-churchgoers
nnd soliciting them to divine
worship. The churches exist for tho
people nnd to Bervo their highest In
terest, not nlone for tho good but
for those who want to bo better. Sec
tarianism Is to bo forgotten and tho
Catholicity of tho church Is to be
commended to nil. Tho worshiping

tho hunger Instinct, .nnd It Is n mis
take to supposo that humans can get
nlong without worship, Tho church
Is the only Institution that ministers
directly to the religious nnturo of
man.
Therefore go to church now, go
often nnd go for n purpose, but go
csneclnlly on January 2nd. You owo
It to your mother, to good society,
to tho community, yourself nnd to
your God to nttend public .worship
