Two very flattering induce

first lady in Meade county who

weeks ago the Globe announced
that years subscription to that

make application for the liccn-
ce in ber own name; that he

going to do: TO the first lady
who complies with the require
ments made by Judge Randolph,
we will furnish and print free of
charge one hundred wedding in
vitations or announcements, the
contracting parties to take their
choice; and since The News IS
an absolute necessity in any well
regulated home, we will also give
years subscription to this pa
per in addition to the invitations
or announcements.

Do 1t Now

The Experiment Station has
no seed corn for sale. There
was no corn produced in this
section of the state last seasen.
Western farmers must get their
seed corn from eastern or mid
die Kansas for next seasons
planting, unless they have saved
over seed Of 1910 crop, as we did
at this station. We reserved
enough seed of all 1910 crops to
plant our fields in 1912. wish
that all Western Kansas farmers
had done the same. 1t would
solve a difficult problem, that of
securing seed for next springs
planting.
fear that there will be a great
shortage Of seed corn and kailir
and cane seed in our Western
counties next season. am urg-
ing our Western farmers to look
for a supply early. Also l am
urging Western dealers to order
supply Of seed from eastern
and middle Kansas or from
Northern sources at an early
date, so as to secure it before
the grain is fed, and thus insure
sufficient supply to plant our
Western Kansas fields next
spring.
wish to prepare a list of all
farmers and seedmen who will
have seed corn, kafir, cane, milo,
and other seed grain suitable for
western planting. If readers of
this notice have such seeds for
sale, please write me, giving in
formation as to variety, purity,
vitality, and price.
