Mr.. B. Y. McNairy,

Dear Sir
I have your note of tha 20th asking
whether farmers in sections of sMorri-
son county burned over this year
would come under the terms of the
act: II the fires occurred in 1910 to a
sutacient extent to make the settlers
destitute, provided in tho bill, they
would come under the terms of the
act. All applications must be made
under oath in accordance with the
provisions of the bill. I am enclosing
an additional copy with number Of
abstracts. Quick action will have to
be secured if the requests are to be
acted upon. I think it would be
time enough if your Board got the
requests in shortly after the, fourth,
although not strictly in accordance
with the bill. They must be in
before we pack and ship the material.
Very truly yours,
A. f. Woods, dean and director. -
Applications have been made by
ten to fifteen Morrison county settlers
tor free grass seed, but they will
be required to comply with the pro-
VISIONS cited in the above letter before
their requests will be granted.

els lost money when wheat yielded but
IL bushels to the acre. while there was
good money in hen which layed 200
eggs per year and that if proof of this
was wanted and the men did not care
to bother with chicken raising, they
should leave this branch of agricultur-
al pursuits to the women folks, allow
ing them to disburse of the money OBJ
tained tnerefrom as they saw fit, and
then they should not express surprise
or question them when their wives

get all of the flock of q we'll -known
