Sedaiia,

Jan. 2S.-Nothng new or important has
taken place in this section during the past
week. Farmers commenced sowing oats
but were cut short in their work by heavy
rainfall Faiday evening and night. From tho
weather outlook now no more oats can be
sown until February. Seed oats are scarce
here, hardly enough to supply the demand.
Farmers should take advantage Of the first
good spell of weather in next month to SOW
down large area of this Indispensable cresl.
The map who neglscts TO raise his own sup
plies is too surely Fastening his own destruc-
lien, More ''hog and homiRy" and less pot-
ton should be our motto. This is our only
method Of self protection. Financial relief
through legislation seems to be far in the
future, more bonds and less money for the
PEOPLE, say the "goll bugs"
