Varieties OF Broom Corn.

Bulletin ia Of the Department OF

varietal names used by sellers OF
broom corn seed, but many OF these
are simply new names applied to old
strains of broom corn and really Dc
not represent varieties that have been
sufficiently improved to- deserve spe
cial designation. Such names are OF
no assistance, and manufacturers In
buying brush disregard varietal names
and specify whether standard oil
dwarf is wanted and the desired
length, color and quality of the brush

the purchaser OF broom corn should

burned in them for some time.
State Auditor Iverson and State
Treasurer Block stood by and assisted

One hundred and fifty thousand dol

Must Have Warrents.

;. Following the lead of the 500 line. in
prohibiting deputy state game wardens
from inspecting the baggage of pas
sengers without search warrent, the
Minneapolis Union Depot company has
issued orders to the effect that wardens
will not be allowed to enter the bag
gage rooms without warrent.
The warrent must bear the date of
the day upon which it is presented as
well as a description of the property
which the game warden desires to
search.
This limits the game wardens to the
examination of baggage on which they
have received information from cor
respondents out in the country. The
move is made not only to protect the
passengers, but to avoid annoyance
caused by the wardens in overhauling
the baggage in the room.
