1 to be considerable flax purchased, but
we are arranging to advance such sums
| as are necessary. There Is a diff
Guilty in the southern part Of the coun-
I'ty, along the Milwaukee road, in get
ting seed.
Cooperstown.
| Cooperstown-The is no necessity
| for bonding or for any outside help,
as our farmers are amply able to pro-
vide their needed seed. We will have
to ship in some barley, however, for
seed purposes.
Darcy.
Dazey-We will be able to help in
| this vicinity as far as wheat is con-
| cerned and also in regard to oats, but
to a large extent we presume we will
be short on fax. We have not been
able to obtain any assurances from
elevators concerning any shipping OF
| flax for seed purposes.
Heaton.
Heaton-There will be no shortage of
seed in our immediate vicinity, but We
are liable to be short on feed; most
of our farmers have their seed, and
where they do not there are others
with enough surplus to supply them.
Some of our grain is not good for seed,
as it was stack burned and will not
grow; tests are being made, so that no
mistake may be made in planting.
McCIusI<y.
| McClusky-This county issued bonds
for $4,000 for seed grain, which, to-
gether with the help of the local banks
will provide seed and feed for our re-
quirements, except possibly in the
matter of seed fax, which the county
does not furnish. The high price of
seed flax and the expense of breaking
will probably reduce the acreage un-
| less aid can be had from some other
source.
Pinuree.
Pingree-I understand the county
commissioners are to meet April to
discuss the question of bonding to Sc
cure seed wheat for the farmers.
Sykeston.
Sykeston-This county refused to
bond for seed or feed and we have
quite a number of farmers who are
short on seed and many who have not
sufficient feed. We cannot aid the
farmers as much as we would wish
owing to the shrinkage of our deposits,
and many of those men have first class
security and should be aided to procure
the necessary seed and feed.
EdgeIey.
EdgAley-LaHToure county Is fur
nishing seed grain, but only in limited
amounts, not more than $50 bushels to
one man. Stutsman county has not yet
agreed to supply the farmers with any
seed grain whatever. We are doing all
we possibly can to advance money 30
those in need of seed and feed, but the
demand is more than we can meet.
Marion.
Marion-We are helping the farm
ers out who are in need and the coun-
ty is also putting out a little seed,
though / do not believe there is much
demand for it. The county IL not is
suing bonds, but ID levying the value
of the seed against the land as tax.
LaNGoure county is in pretty fair shape
and the seed proposition is pretty well
taken care Of do not anticipate that
we will have to put out more than
81, 900 more money than we have al
ready had.
Ananoose.
Administrations of our farmers are
supplied with the necessary seed wheat
and oats. but occasionally there is one
who Is short. We have supplied con-
siderable seed during the past few
weeks and one of our local elevators
is putting forth special efforts in let
ting out a little seed and feed on time.
In this part OF McEenry county the
farmers generally saved their own seed
from last year Sheridan county, which
Is near us, is unable to supply the de-
mand and are reducing the apportion-
ment of grain originally allotted to
each farmer. I do not know Of any
FAX seed to speak of In this part Of
the state. we could use q couple Of
more cars OF good seed wheat IL the
same could be obtained on time.
