Seed Situation Critical

The seed situation of the entire
state is the most critical it has
been for number of years. Re-
ports coming to this office show
that many sections will be entirely
without seed and in many others
there will not be enough good seed
to supply the demand.
The dry season, followed by late
rains, left the corn, kafir, milo,
and feterita in unusually bad shape
and has caused much of it to spoil.
Reports from many farmers
who have tested their seed show
t hat often.t times seed that
looked the best was either dead
or showed that it was too poor to
plant. 1t is important that some
thing be done Immediately. Good
seed will mean millions of dollars
in the state.
We urge the farmers of this
section to test their seed corn,
kafir, milo, and feterita, immed-
iatly before the spring work
begins, Do you know that it will
growY Test and find out.
We are anxious to help out in
this situation as much as possible
and if any of our readers have or
know where good seed corn, kafir,
milo, or feterita seed can be OBJ
tanned, kindly let us know so that
we can direct other farmers who
are looking for seed, to you.
Give us the number of bushels
you have for sale, the kind of
corn or seed, and the price you
expect per bushel, Kindly let US
hear from you at once.

CLASH OVER THE
OFFICIAL DRINK
Sectional Lines Drawn in Infor
NAL Discussion of Sub
ject by Neighbors.

| Grape juice, orange juice, mineral
like nature are running a close race
! for the favor of the Royal NeighboI
visitors. Each has its votaries and
should the question Of adopting an Off
cial beverage ever be brought to the
floor of the camp the harmony which
has up till now been prevalent so con,
spicuously might suffer.
Yesterday following the report of the
committee on rules and order of bust
ness there came slight intermission
during which a number of delegates
adjourned to the lobby seeking a drink
of water. While they were getting it
the question of adopting an official
beverage was preached and instantly
a pronounced difference of views on
the subject became apparent.
%, by the way. girls" said one
sprightly little member what is the
official drink of the convention"
There was a brief silence as all in
the group pondered and then some one
responded that there was as yet no
official beverage.
Mrs. Jessie L. Mitchell, of Ionia,
Mich, formerly member of the SUI
preme managers, one of the delegates
in the gathering. next spoke up:
while none has been chosen, yet
am sure that there is nothing more
appropriate than grape juice. Michi-
gan is seeking but little honor in this
convention, and as we manufacture
great quantities of the purple bever-
age. / see no reason why grape juice
should not be made the official drink.
Besides it is quite healthy and refresh
ing"
"All OF which is true, Jessie" re-
sponded Mrs. Lulu Hawley Smith, of
Santa Rosa, Cal, but as a representa-
tive of the Golden state and having
travelled so far to this convention.
farther than any other delegate,
claim orange juice as the official bev
erage and move its adoption as such.
It has all the good qualities OF grape
Juice and many others, too. AS a.
courtesy and honor to my state and
city, believe it should be Santa Rosa
orange juice"
Miss Alice Barrett, of Baraboo, Wis.
which place is the famous winter home
Of the Ringing Bros circus, then
claimed for Wisconsin the right of fur
the official drink. "Waukesha
mineral water is excellent, girls" she
said, land l am sure that should you
drink but one glass of 1t you would
Join me in proclaiming it the official
beverage"
Part of what you said, Alice, is
true." spoke up Mrs. Elizabeth Flem-
ing of Milwaukee, Wis. 81 agree with
you in that Wisconsin should have the
honor of the production of the official
rink of the society. l am with Wis
,onsin in any of its claims, but think
hat Milwaukee produces by far the
pest beverage and | move"
But at this moment the gavel was
heard sharply rapping for order and |
he session was broken up without the |
question being put to vote.

ing of the supreme camp, according to
statements made by an official of the
society.
Whether or not this new building
will be constructed in this city, it is
said, is a matter which will be decided
after the supreme court of the state
of Illinois passes on the test case
against the Modern Woodmen OF
America as to the taxation of fraternal

The $4,000 for a new home for
the supreme Offices was appropriated
at the last tri-ennial supreme camp at
Denver. At that time plans were drawn
up by an architect and everything was
in readiness for the erection of the
building.
However. the readjustment of rates
by the Modern Woodmen had become

to the effect il would have upon the
affairs of the auxiliary society, and so

A test case was made of the law by
