new hpckIDfd--1 am quite positive
that there is enough wheat in this
county for seed, but there viii have to
be some oats and flax shipped in. The
farmers have had to buy heavily OF
feed for the past six months, and also
for some time to come, and they are
getting very short of money, and owing
to no collections last fall. 1t is impossi-
BILE for us to loan them anything. This
situation should be relieved.
Rottineau.
/ Bottineau-There is no demand for
seed in this vicinity that is not taken
care of, or will be before the seed is
required. Most OF the farmers have
/ their seed, and all whose credit is
| good enough for seed any other year
are able to get seed this year. 1t may
be that some flax will be needed, but
| the situation is SO that this seed can
! be obtained.
Mandan.
| Mandan-About 80 per cent of the
1 farmers Of this county have their seed
grain. The banks are taking care of
the situation so far as their customers
are concerned. There is quite a terri
| tory in the southern part of the county
along the Milwaukee road where there
are many new settlers who did not
raise anything last year, and these
people will have to have something
more than local aid.
Sharon.
Sharon-We do not know of any one
who is not able to get his seed right
here at home. The demand for feed Ia
strong, but we will be able to do all
that is necessary in this respect.
Westhope.
Westhope--I believe we have enough
seed in this community, but the farm
ers are not in good shape financially
and there is big demand for money.
New Rockford.
New Rockford--Most of the farmers
are pretty well fixed here for seed, but
there are some who it will be necessary
to aid but / believe that from $4,000
to $4,000 will be ample for this pur-
pose.
Antler.
Antler-The farmers here will have
enough wheat for seed, but may need
some flax. The local banks will he
able to care for all legitimate demands.
Lansford.
Lansford-Every farmer in this com
munity has made arrangements for
seed. We can care for our customers.
The county decided it was not neces-
sary to bond.
Valley City.
Valley City do not believe that
any special assistance will be neces-
sary In this county in way of seed or
feed. The county did not have any
occasion to even consider the pro-
ject of bonding. We can care for all
proper demands now, but later some
of our banks may have to have a little
temporary aid.
Turtle Lake.
Turtle Lake-This county sold $50
600 Of bonds for seed purposes, but I
do not think this amount will be suf
ficient. The demand for money for
seed and feed purposes are in excess
of what the local banks can supply.
Pskin.
Pekin--T have made careful inquiries
and do not find a single case of want
in the way OF seed. The feed ques-
tion Is quite a serious one, though.
GackIe.
Gackle-The great majority of our
farmers have their seed; those who
are short generally have some, and
think that between the elevators and
the banks this shortage can be helped
out. There is no necessity Cor bonds
here
Ross-There are quite a number of
feT har
saved over from last year for
seed this spring, and the county is
furnishing seed for those not able to
procure 1t otherwise.
Sherwood.
Sherwood--The county Is bonding to
furnish seed to those who do not have
1t. There is enough grains right here
to supply everybody, except that a
little flax may have to be shipped in.
Minot.
Minot-I believe the farmers are all
being taken care of in the way of both
feed and seed. The county bonded for
$4,000. with the privilege of increas-
ing to $4,000, and the banks are help
ing out Also
6owheIIs.
Bowbells-The county bonded for
$4,000 to buy seed for the farmers.
but less than one-half of the amount
will be needed, which makes a pretty
good showing. We have 10000 bushels
Of cEean wheat in the elevator and
more than 1000 bushels of fax, and
less than one-half of 1t has been asked
for up to date.
Kenmare.
Kenmare-The farmers in this i'm
mediate vicinity will all be able to OBJ
tain all the seed needed, and very few
have availed themselves OF the offer
made by the county.
Sawyer.
Sawyer-Farmers here viii have no
trouble to get all the seed and feed
they need.
5aIfour.
Balfour- Farmers will have no trou-
BILE here on their seed, but feed is
quite difficult problem; we are ship
ping in several cars OF corn, and il
much more is needed will have to have
a little help.
Underwood.
Underwood - Although the county
bonded for $4,000 for seed grain pur-
poses, the banks here have not sent
In over dozen seed grain applications,
showing that In general our farmers
are In pretty good shape for seed. We
believe that the banks here can care
for any farmers deserving Of credit
There is more money In the country
