Reactionary methods of govern
ment in village council.
A license was granted to a man in
October last TO run a pool hall, and
his infraction of the village ordi-
nances in the manner in which he
conducted his place and his violation
of county and state laws was brought
to the attention of the council and
police who simply passed it over
and the county authorities and state
officers had to come and clean it up
for US. Notwithstanding this, in
fraction of the village ordinances

Of all grain intended for seed may

wheat, oats, barley, and llax, in some
sections are not up to standard for
seeding purposes. Under no circum-
stances, therefore, should a farmer
take any risk, but instead he should
make a seed termination test of all
small grains, as well as Of corn.

SEED GRAIN FOR BONDED
COUNTIES

To county commissioners, elevator
men, seedmen and farmers: 1 cal
your attention to the following:
Last season the county commits
sioners of certain of the counties
bonded to furnish seed grain to needy
farmers and took lien on the crops
and all real and personal property
of the applicants. After it was too
late to gain suitable information to
correct gross errors which were made
in distributing seeds, it was learned
to my satisfaction that the seed pro
vided in several cases was of such
character as to be wholly unfit for
sowing purposes, and extremely det-
rimental to the lands opposed to the
use of such seed grain and the neigh
boring lands.
Though a farmer may chance to
have to place a lien on his property
in order to procure seed. 1t is
self evident that he is entitled
to the same care from the persons
who are providing this seed as II he
paid each therefor.
To Dealers: II you sell under con-
tract seed for sowing purposes to
county commissioners or other par
ties recommend that you see to it
that such seed will comply with the
provisions Of the pure seed law. II
you sell what you know to be impro-
perly cleaned grain, give those to
whom you are going to deliver such
seed due notice Of that fact. II 1t is
uncleaned grain it should be labeled
"Uncleaned Seed" It will do no
good to take release, for such would
evidently be conspiracy to violate or
evade the law.-H. l.. Bolley, Agri-
cultural College.
