You will see In this issue of the
HERALD letter from L. u. T. Ha-
zen in defence Of the acts of the Phil
lips County Aid Society in distrlbu-
ting provisions and clothing TO the
needy. The committee need no de-
fence for their unselish and untiring
laDors in work where it is impossi-
BILE to please all, cannot but receive
the hearty approval Of all fair minded
people. Some Of the committee have
devoted much time and attention 10
this work hoping for and expecting no
other reward for their labor than the
satisfaction of knowing that they had
done what they could in the work of
aiding the needy and we are satisfied
that, ii any one who has applied for
aid feels that he has not been treated
fairly, either he is mistaken or his
case was not thoroughly understood
by the committee, The committee
are all fair minded men and we are
satisfied that they have, In every case,
dealt fairly with applicants so far us
they understood the needs OF the case.
The prospect for raising agood crop
in this county the coming season is
certainly very encouraging at this
time. II we had had rain two weeks
earlier last spring, there Is no qucs-
tion, but that a good crop OF small
grain would have been raised, but the
ground was So dry all winter that the
grain did not start to grow till the
rains came about the middle OF April
and this was too late to make crop.
The SHOWS that We have had already
have molstcned tho ground Ia such an
extent that vegetation will start as
soon as the weather becomes warm
enough and this will insure u coed
crop OF small grain and make the pros
pect of a corn crop good. With such
a favorable prospect before the farm
crs OF the county Tor the coming sea-
sou, certainly nothing should be left
undone that Will In any way tend to
insure supply Of seed grain 10 every
farmer who Is unable to buy. This
matter should be laid before the state
legislature In It's most favorable lIgh,
Seine Of our citizens seem TO think |
that all that Is necessary TO do, is To |
lay the matter before the legislature |
and an appropriation will he made,
but they must remember that some |
Of the members from the irrigated |
parts Of the state are prejudiced |
against .he rain belt and never have
had any faith In the ultimate success
Of agriculture In this part OF the state.
These members will, no doubt, oppose
an appropriation for seed and IL will
require good work and n thorough cx-
plnnatlon of the good prospects tor n
crop the coming season In order to Sc.
cure an appropriation.
