the Texas Red variety occupied
third place. This order was re-

been stated by some that southern
seed cannot be purchased, and as
practically all of the old seed has
been consumed, the only alterna-
tive is found in procuring northern
grown samples.
Tn our trials at this station
northern grown oats have been
planted side bv side with Okla- j
homa grown seed. It was not our
purpose in conducting these ex-
periments to determine thc super-
iority of home grown oats over
imported strains, but the varieties
which which were secured had
given exceptionally good results
Several samples have been exam-
ined in the seed laboratory this
spring and some very striking
results were secured. One lot
which had appearantly heated and
was musty gave a germination test
of eleven per cent; a second lot
which would be classed asan infer-
ior grade germinated twenty seven
per cent. In order to secure a full
stand with seeds of this description
it would be necessary to plant
about ten times the usual amount
per acre in the one case and about
four times the usual amount in the
other; however the grower can

Editor Needs Bread Also
It is reported that one of Wol- j
verine's fastidious, newly married
kneads bread with her gloves on.
The incident may be somewhat
peculiar, but there are others.,
The editor of this paper needs]
bread with his shoes on; he needs
bread with his shirt on; he needs;
bread with his pants on and nnlcss
some of the delinquent subscribers |
of this newspaper pay up before j
long we will n«ed bread without
much of anything on, and Otsego:
county is no Garden of Eden, |
either, in the winter time.—
Otsego County Herald.
One of the evils of society is too j
much and too inconsiderate talk-'
ing. Gossip lightly uttered, with- j
out intention of harm, often causes
social ostracism, when there is not'
the least reason for it Too much |
talking about the possibilities of.j
business failures brings about dis-'
aster. Too much talking of dis-
honesty causes the feeling that
it lurks everywhere and that all!
are tainted with it. Too much
talking without due deliberation on
the topic, whatever it may be, is
fraught with injury somewhere to
somebody of some interest.

TAKING ORDERS NOW
THE ADVANCE now has on
hand, ready to show, a full
line of 1909 Calendar samples,
about the finest lot of goods ever
produced. All orders should be
placed early this year to insure
exclusive designs and give plenty
of time to get them out. Last
year we did the greater part of
the Calendar business of Hooker.
Our prices were from one-half to
one-third less than the traveling
salesman's and we had twice as
many samples to select from.
This year we are much better
prepared with samples, and the
prices wil! h the same—just as
low as they can be handled. We
are also showing a line of Fans,
Wall Pockets and Tissue Paper
Novelties. Ask to see them.
