Growers should not be misled into buying of seed of varieties from for- eign countries or of unknown origin. Regardless of claims to superiority,the paying of extravagant prices for such highly publicized seeds is seldom |f ever warranted. Home grown seed varieties gen. orally yields as well or better thah any other. Losses from planting unadapt- od seed may be serious. This is es- pecially true of seed from a foreign country, even though the seed is, heavier and apparently of better quality. More than fifty years ago in Penns Valley were duped erg who peddied 5g “Bohemian Oats Much of it was sold at fabulous prices, but the oats never proveg to be of any special value for seeq or feed.

Fly tying is becoming popular with fishermen who don't use the Hower worm for trout bait. Many fishermen have become expert in the art and have the advantage of making up flies common and eagerly sought by trout in their particular district.
