The state board Of agriculture Has

Complaints are coming in to the

fabulous purity and producuveness.
On account OF its exceptional quality
be asks a high price: and he adds that
cash must accompany orders. The
farmer having no seed wheat Of his
own and knowing the value Of good

The board Of agriculture does not
propose to permit such practices. and
Il the proper information is furnish

guilty parties. The farmer can help
By sending in information and BY re-
fusing to purchase from such fellows.
Don't buy seed wheat unless you
