The state legal department holds
that when a farmer registers a name
for his farm no other farmer in the
same county can register a name un-
less it differs from the first in main
essentials. The question is where a
farmer registered his farm under the
name Lake View Grain and Stock
Farm" and another farmer in the
same county desires to register his
farm as Lake View Farm" which is
held to be an infringement on the first
name.
