Seeds Survive Great Gold.

A New York experimenter has been trying the effect of very low temperature on seeds. Seeds of peas, oats, barley and wheat were kept for several hours at 312 degrees below zero—that is what he says—for 110 hours. After being thawed out and planted ths seeds grew all right There seems to bo no further cause for alarm over freezing seeds. We seldom have it as low as 812 degrees below zero for 110 hours at a time, even tn Dakota.
