News Notes From the State Capitol

Bismarck, n. D.. April ~9.-Judging
from the number of inquiries for in
formation relative to silos and re-
quests for assistance, Dairy Commits
siOner Flint expresses a belief that
the record for each of the past years
will be broken. 1t is the estimate of
the department that there will be be-
tween $50 and 400 silOs erected dur
ing the next twelve months. The de-
partment will continue the practice Of
rendering free personal advice and as
siStance to all those wishing aid of
that kind. The lumber companies of
the state are also doing a good work
along that line, many of them pub
fishing and distributing pamphlets
relative to the building and operating
of silOs.
The New Game Law.
A good many inquiries are reach
ing the office of the secretary of state
regarding the amendments made TO
legislature. The new law provides
that there shall be a closed season on
deer until Nov. 10. 1916. The
new law also provides for the re-
moval of any colony of beaver that
may be doing damage to some other
place where they will not do damage.
The game warden is empowered to
employ a federal expert to make such
removal. Spring shooting of geese is
also prohibited under the new law.
A deputy game warden shall be ap-
pointed in each Of the judicial dis
tricts. The deputy game wardens shall
be paid by a salary of not to exceed
500 per month and shall be employed
for only five months in the year.
Test Your Seed.
Probably the banks of the state are
as vitality interested in the raising
of good crops as any other class of
business men and a number Of the
banks in the Slope country have taken
the opportunity to call attention to
the necessity of having seed corn
tested. A circular letter urging the
testing has been sent to all their pa
irons asking them to use all care in
getting the best of seed and calling
their attention to some of the things
necessary to be done to assure the Sc
curing of the best seed.
