WEEKLY FARM NEWS From The Department of Agriculture, University of Minnesota 6c A Pound HARD SEEDS IN ALFALFA AND CLOVERS. In testing alfalfa and clover seed for germination, it will be noticed that some seeds will not germinate al though they arc healthy in appearance and not decayed at the end of the test. These are termed "hard seeds." They have unusually hard seed coats which prevent them from taking up water readily. These seeds germinate readily when the seed coats are scratched, in former years it was thought by some that hard seeds in al falfa and clovers were as so much in ert matter. It is reasonable, however to believe that many of the seeds be come sufficiently scratchcd during seeding operations so that they will grow at once, while others will grow later on. Experimental work is be ing done along this line and it is hoped that soon the hard seeds in alfalfa and clovers will be found nearly as useful as the others. It is found that alfalfa seed from the various states differs greatly in the percentage of hard seeds. Minnesota grown seed ro*rl',' fr^rv. 15 to 30 per cent hard seeds. simple rule of health is daily called attention to by every doctor in the land, whose first question to the patient almost invariably is, "Are your bowels regular?" Yet there's not' one person in fifty who takes proper care of tlx* bowels. And the result of this foolish neglect is nine-tenths of all ill-health. If today you are unable to free your body of waste matter at the usual time, or if the act causes straining, pains and discomfort, don't let that condition occur again tomorrow. Unless your bowels can carry away the waste materials left after food is digested, decay sets in, the poisons of which, taken up by the blood, increase the risk of Typhoid Fever, ^Appendicitis, and many other serious diseases. In treating constipation, there is a right way and a wrong way. The wrong way is to take harsh purga tives which even though they do clear the bowels, cause griping and nausea, injure the delicate tissues, and so disturb the normal functions as to cause the return of constipation. The right way is to help Nature to produce natural movement, without pain or discomfort, by using The Minnesota Seed Laboratory, in its enforcement of the new seed law, has made a regulation regarding the hard seeds in alfalfa and the clovers as follows. In placing the germina tion test on the label when seed is sold, one-half the percentage of hard seed may be added to the percentage of seeds that germinated.—W. L.
