and the county has rejected the bond

and the county has rejected the bond
ing plan.
Mclean, Sheridan, Ward, Renville,
Wells and Tower counties have bond
ed themselves to buy seed for farmers
or have Endorsed the plan of issuing
seed warrants.
Linseed oil crushers and large firms
in Minneapolis and Duluth have ar
ranged for supply of 100000 bushels
; Of flaxseed. The supply is available
and the price of seed flax very low,
and the problem is one of getting it to
those farmers who want it. In this
way the banks are doing good work.
In LaMoure county farmers are filing
seed applications with the county
commissioners, and Paul Adams, cash
I Ter of the First National bank of La
| Moure, reports that the banks are dis
posed to give the farmers who need
money for seed the preference in max
ing loans. There is scarcity of flax
seed in LaMoure county and consider
able will probably be shipped in.
Grand Forks county farmers, as rule,
have enough wheat and flaxseed, and
c. C. GOwran, president of the First
National bank of Grand Forks, reports
| that it has been possible to this time
to handle the requirements without
necessitating the issuing of bonds or
seed warrants. The county commits
sioners are taking care of deserving
farmers who are without seed. The
First National bank Of Dickinson re-
ports favorable situation in Stark
county, most of the farmers having
seed left over from last year.
No Bond Issue.
H. M. Erickson of the First National
bank of Darlington says that Foster
county is not likely to issue bonds,
year for a seed supply and the farmers
have some very good seed on hand.
Ransom county is also in good condi-
ton, according to r. S. Adams, presi-
dent of the First National bank of
Lisbon, no bonds will be issued, and
cases that come to hand of the need
of seed by farmers unable to provide
it will be handled by the banks. Ran
som county had spotted crop last
year, but in no part was it so poor
that the farmers did not raise seed.
In Cass county, which is an important
wheat producer and has also raised
big fax crops in the past, there is
sufficient seed, E. J. Weiser, vice pres.
ident of the First National bank, says,
and this is true generally Of that por-
ton OF the valley counties closest to
the Red river. Barnes county, for in
stance, is in good position to seed an
early crop on a large acreage, and
John Tracy, cashier of the First Ma.
tional bank, reports that there is moth
ing to call for an issue of bonds and
that the banks will take care Of the
farmers who need seed. Pembina
county ia fairly we'll provided for, the
banks will help out the farmers and
there is no likelihood of a bond issue.
Take Care Of All.
In Ward county $4,000 worth of
bonds have been sold, and that
amount may be raised to $4,000. The
money raised has been used, or Is
available for USE 1t is the desire of
the Ward county commercial clubs,
banks and business interests that no
farmer who wants to SOW fax this
year to take advantage Of the high
price shall be prevented through lack
of seed, yet there has been some diff
Guilty in getting sufficient. r. E. Bar
ron, cashier of the Second National
bank of Minot, says that his bank is
giving preference to loans desired for
seed purchasing purposes, and C. H.
Christensen, cashier of the First Ma
tional Bank of Ryder, says that IS per
cent of the farmers are supplied with
