FROSTED WhEAT EOR SEED.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, March 25.-The use of
frosted grain in Dakota for seed in that
district of the territory where the grain
was considerably damaged by frost last
fall, and which includes nearly the whole
of the territory north of the Northern Pa
cific, is causing good deal of talk and not
a little apprehension among grain dealers.
In the district spoken of some of the farm
ers had all their wheat frosted, and they
have nothing but frosted grain on hand,
and are not able to spend anything
for good, sound wheat. for seed. The
crops OF others were entire failures and
they are destitute, while still others had a
field here and there of good grain and have
saved enough out of it for seed. But on
account of the frost and consequent pow
erty of some of the farmers, the fact that
frosted wheat can be bought for SOC or Coo,
when No wheat will cost nearly twice
that amount, and the further fact that
experiments have proven that frosted
wheat will grow, many farmers are using
frosted wheat for seed.
Recently meeting of grain men was
held to devise some means OF determining
how much of this wheat was being used,
but as yet no definite figures have been
obtained. Though experiments have been
shown that frosted wheat will grow,
the grain nrtnS WHICH nave elevators
| in the frosted districts and the rail-
roads of that districts are not will
ing TO place all the hopes of crop next
fall on frosted wheat. A few days ago a
meeting of railroad officials and railroad
men was held, and the roads asked the
owners of elevators to furnish good seed to
the farmers who could not afford TO buy it.
Colonel q. d. Rodgers of the Market Rec
ord. says there Is no definite information
n tho oDoOnDt of froSra1 what that il
being -planted. Colonel Rodgers thinks
that if there should be a season of cold
rains after the seeding there would be some
apprehension among those who planted
frosted wheat Under favorable circum-
stances there will be nothing TO fear, and
he does not think there is being enough
/ frosted wheat planted TO make any diff

AN OLD WING CONFERENCE,

Line Wings is announced to be helo III
Birmingham, Ala, at an early date. IN
vitations have been sent out to many men
who now belong to one or the other pollt-

who were Wings before the war and voted
against the Democracy, and some OF whom
were old enough to vote for VIM
Henry Harrison, grandfather Of the presi-
dent. when he was elected to the presl-
dency in 1871. The purpose of the confer
ence, as stated by leading Republicans, is
to bring about meeting of old Wings,
who will endorse the administration poll
cies as laid down by President Harrison IN
his inaugural address. The prime object
in view is to combine the Old Line wings
with the protection element In the state
and divide the Democrats on the tarll1,
internal improvements and other
political issues. There is consld-
cradle number of men In this state
who were Wings before the war,
and have not altogether abandoned the
doctrines of that party, though they are
now in line with the Democrats or the Re-
Dublicans. Ex-Governor Thos. H. Watts,
who enjoys vigorous old age, and is now
a prominent figure in the councils OF the
Democratic party, was an old line Wing

more than surmise what will come OF the
