seven persons wrote. 1t is not likely

Messrs J. D. Smull, Albert Sharf and
others Of Blooming Valley, composed a
delegation from that township last Mon
Gay that came in 10 confer with the
county commissioners on the seed wheat
matter. The two new townships in the
western part OF the county are under
somewhat different conditions from the
older townships, AS their lands except a
comparatively small part have not yet
become taxable, and the limit they are
confined to in issuing their warrants
initiates against them. They are seek
ing to have the county back their war
rants, and thus give them the support of
its credit. This can probably be done
without injury or risk to the county, and
the commissioners will take the matter
into consideration at the regular meet
ing OF the board next month. Blooming
Valley has had some So applications for
seed. Delegates from Lura township
were also in on the game errand, as the
conditions are similar in that township
