From the item quoted below it
is evident that the Oldham Register
is displsased with the action of the
county commiss ioners in regard to
the appointment of official paper:
The Lake Preston Times, DeSmet
News, and Iroquois Chief were chosen
the official papers for the present
year. The Register was not an appli-
cant for a share OF the county patron.
age knowing it would be a waste Of
time to do so, Oldhom is not sup
posed to have anything coming from
the county and only a few, a very
few men in the county are supposed
10 know, who has anything coming.
The Register will however continue
to give it's readers the commissioner
proceedings without compensation"
The grain commission firms of
Minneapolis have organized a pure
Seed Wheat Bureau for the pur-
of helping to distribute good, |
pure, sound seed wheat throughout
those sections of the northwest where
last seasons crop was badly affect
ed by rust. Their object is to i'm
prove the quality and yield. They
ilo not seek for a profit out OF the
seed wheat business their increased
profits will come in handling our
next crop. 1t is certain that a good
healthy seed is needed in this local
but so far we believe the far
mers are not inclined to go to the
expense OF changing seed-it would
cost something, and no one but the
benefited will put up the
money. Mr.. E. III. Couse, of this
is chairman of the pure seed
committee for Kingsbury county
and partie s desiring new seed should
place their orders with him; the mon
~ can be deposited in any bank ia
he city, No new seed can be oh
aimed of this committee except up-
,n a cash basis. The time is grow
ng short and orders should be plac
ed at once.
