EDGAR, Neb., Feb. 1.-THE Clay
county farmers institute, which closed
its session last week, adopted resolu-
tions declaring against federal seed
distribution. The speakers were ex-
Governor Poynter, j. g. Atkinson, G..
W. Pugsley and w. ID. Mckee, all Of
whom made actresses that were very
interesting to the farmers and held
the close attention of the audience.
Following are the resolutions:
I'VE, the farmers of Clay county.
who are part of great army OF
home builders, assembled in conven-
ton, in institute work, from year to
year, at much cost and labor, for
furthering the agricultural interests
Of our great state, find that many Of
the great agricultural interests of our
commonwealth suffer from the lack Of
needed Legislation, and in some in
stances from too much legislation.
1--WE feel that we are not overstep-
ping the bonds of propriety when we
express ourselves upon the issues of
the day Therefore, be it
"ReSolved, That we register a pro-
test against the expenditure of large
sums of money by the federal govern
ment for the free distribution Of gar
den seeds We favor government in
spection of grains and seeds under the
department Of agriculture, and we
memorialiZe our representatives in
congress to support such a movement
with all the power at their command.
"Be it further resolved That we
commend the Phelps county bar in its
position taken on the anti-pass ques-
ton in bringing the profession up to
the high standard it deserves by not
being placed in the position of asking
for something which is denied to
others. And we appeal to all the pro-
fessions and individuals to do like
wise, and thus rise above petty graft
"Be it further resolved, That we de-
mand an anti-pass law which shall ex-
clude all individuals except bona fide
employees We further demand an
open primary law which shall include
local and state officers, with as little
expense as possible for the qualifica-
ton of a candidate. We further re-
quest two cent passenger rate"
The resolutions were adopted by an
unanimous vote, $50 farmers being
present.

people preferred to be humbugged and
the premium goods were most popular,
but even with that we were doing
nicely until the big concern began to
cut prices
I'm order to make anything we had
to sell our goods at As cents. l went to
the Omaha jObbers to sell them our
product and they told me they were
getting American Cereal company
goods at 3S cents. l went to Lincoln
and the jobbers told me there they
were getting goods from the American
Cereal company at SO cents.
THE trust sent q representative to
Seward and offered to buy or lease our
plant. We would not sell, but after
long consideration we decided to lease
provided the trust would keep the fac
tory going. They verbally agreed to
keep it running, but would not make
a written agreement. We leased the
plant to them for ninetynine years at
$1,000 a year, which is more than we
could make by running it ourselves.
"I was in Lincoln few days ago
and asked one of the jobbers how
much he had to pay for the goods the
American Cereal company sold him a
few months ago for 2S cents. He re-
piled S5 cents"
This story from MI. Goehner was
brought out by a discussion Of the re-
cent action of some Of the railroads in
making a low classification on goods
containing premiums.

been making seed contracts with pro-
gressive farmers in all parts of the
state who will produce the first
years seeds. AS an evidence of how
extensive the company is producing,
seeds, contracts have been made for
growing 400 acres of corn, 60 acres
of millet, 200 acres of wheat, 1875
acres of oats, 40 acres of barley, 40
acres of flax, besides many acres of
smaller amounts, where farmers were
unable to let so much of their ground
go.
Mr.. Wheeler said that he had made
contracts with special vegetable
growers all over the. United States to
produce vegetable seeds, and that af-
ter the receipt of the first crop they
would be tested on the company's
