4 = :
IN this county the past season. discussed and
heard different opinions in regard to procur-
ing seed grain for the farmers or this conntv
who were unable to raise any grain on their
and the past season, and are unable to Dro
cure any seed for the spring Of 1897 have come
!, 70 the conclusion that several hundred farm
ers are unable to procure any seed grain With
out assistance, and the county is unable to
procure tue necessary seed grain and, there
lore, without some assistance from the state.
these farmers will be without seed grain. and
consequently great part Of this county's
| land, which is cultivated and prepared for
seed, will lie idle this summer for want of
seed, and hardship and great suffering among
these farmers will be the consequences.
IherefOre we request you to- ask the legisla-
ture for an appropriation Of at least sl5, 900 as
loan for seed grain for this county, to be
only used for seed grain this spring - p; ~.
Said loan to be a loan to the county, and
giving the authority to the commissioners to
regulate the distribution of the same to the
needy, and the county to be responsible for
the collection of the same. =: <-. 81. -=
Further, we most emphatically protest
| against any law whereby the distribution and
collecting would be vested in any appointed
parties, as then the expenses would be more
than the benefit derived therefrom, and preiu-
dice and faVOritsm would be the rule rather
than the exception. 49,. ..e - -.
Hoping you will do the hest you can both for
the needy and for the county. ~. -.'-
