These tests were made With a test load of 750 pounds of certified weights. The Commission contemplates frequent inspection in the future. We are also installing a master truclc scale aind as soon as completed all large Hopper scales will be tested with several loads of grain in order to get a correct test -on these large scales. We will also have a meeting of all employes of the grain department at an early date and have them thoroughly instructed in the use and care of scales used in the weighing of grain and a careful supervision, will be had over both the weighing and inspection of grain. H. H. COREY. Commissioner point of yield but you get your weedy wheat from your thin stands. Eery man knows that he wants a good stand but the question is how to get it. Frequently the fall showers are most too light until lato in the season and the question as to the time of seeding is in c'oubt. We be lieve that three rules might be obser ved profitably and which may result in getting greatly increased stands. They are a sfollows: 1. Avoiding of seed injury due to seed treatment. 2. Seeding early. 3. Seed at uniform depth. Judging from the use of copper carbonate for the control of smut dur ing the past year indications are that it will be largely adopted and if so the Question of killing by seed treatment will be entirely eliminated. For those who use tho dry treat ment the early deeding will be com paratively safe because you will be able to place your seed, which is strong and vital, in the dry bed if necessary with very little danger of I ntolding and killing the seed, there Portland reported three flocks of fore your early seeding will be much wild geese flying high and straight in favor. Experiments at the Moro south passing over that city the other Experiment station seam to in.dicr.te day and Willard Herren informed the the dates between September 15 and very successfully in this county and J any man using a hoe drill can maKe sure of putting his grain in at a uni form depth by spending a couple of dollars and three-quarters of a day's work on the drill before seeding: Take a piece of two inch strap iron and cut itj up in lengths of about a foot and a half, bend it in an L shape, make one end of the L shaped iron fit the back of the hoe up and down by slightly rounding it on the point of an anvil. Drill a, hole through the stra piron and through the back of the hoe to receive a stove bolt. This strap iron is placed on the back of the hoe in such away that it per mits it to run. in the ground a couple of inches but the weight of the hoe will be bearing down upon the strap iron which will follow in the track which the hoe makes. Art Erwin followed out this scheme in seedine last year and he states that he never had a mbre uniform stand. Wheat steeded early can be seeded to a great depth and with compara tiv safety. For later seeding or if moisture and weather conditions are unfavorable some of the wheat which was planted deep probably will never emerge. We firmly believe that by getting away from the injury to the! seed by seed treatment, seeding early and at a uniform depth that the fall wheat yield in Morrow county can be in creased from 10 to 20 per cent on an average. ,i f V 'i 4.

ROAD-GRADING COSTS REACH STABLE BASIS REPORTS SHOW The cost ef grading for highway construction apparently has reached a stable condition, according to sta tistics of the Bureau of Public roads of the United States Department of Agriculture. The average cost per cubic yard for grading on Federal aid roads rose from 38 cents in 1917 to a peak price of 66 cents in 1920, and has since gradually declined. On Federal-aid work contracted for in the last three months the average price per cubic yard for the whole United States was 33 cents in April, 32 cents in May, and 34 cents in June. The cost of other items entering into road work also shows a general tendency toward stabilization, al though in many cases not aa marked as that for earth work. October 15 are the most favorable for winter wheats and gives the greater yield. That was true in snite of the fact that the wheat was treated with formaldahyde and blue- stone. A farmer who has from two to three weeks of seeding and who waits until the middle of October for a favorable rain will find thr.t his seeding is not finished until sometime in November. While tho man who began in September will probably have his job done before the first rain comes and it is1 all ready to1 start at once. There may bo some chance in early seeding but notice the fact that should your early seediug fail to come you could seed later in the fall. If your late seeding fails to come you hardly know until spring whether to re-seed or not and then your crop will be spring wheat. The early seeding has chown up mighty favorably in practically every instance last year, even where treated with bluestone and formaldahyde.
