est Is the word that is being sent to
farmers of the northwest part of the
state, by Secretary Lon Mckinney Of
the school land commission. This he
has been authorized to do by the COM
mission, since it has been found that
federal aid cannot be secured for the
farmers in that section of the state
who have no seed wheat this year.
Strenuous efforts have been made
during the past several weeHs TO Sc
cure aid for the farmers there who
SAID II they were not helped in the
matter of getting seed wheat there
would be none pl; O'ed
Bankers of that section could have
offered to help II was first thot that
the state treasurer could place an
additional amount of state money in
the banks there 50 1t could be loaned
10 the farmers. but there was limit
TO this. Then the state council of de-
fense appealed to the Washington au-
thorities. The word came back that
there were no available funds.
Far,ners there were owing money
on their farms. They were In debt
to the school land commission for
interest as well as principal. But
they have been informed that the
state will not foreclose on their
mortgages, and they are urged that
instead OF paying the interest due to
take the money and buy seed wheat.

With the extra funds furnished by
the bill the bureau Of plant industry

of the surplus stock from regions OF
heavy animal production and expens'
i've feed to parts Of the country where
animal industry is not well developed
and where pasturage and feed are
relatively abundant and cheap. The
bill also makes provision for the ex
tension Of other lines Of the work o.

Supt. John II. Porter. in office since

The literature OF this section is a

which teachers are asked to confine
their class work to not more than 20

Schools meeting these requirements
are to get diplomas" citing eff

sive wall card diploma and he hopes
to have most OF the 100 schools In
his big territory go into competition.

worked out practical scheme for
teaching agriculture and domestic
science, commencing with the inside
OF the schoolhouse and extending to
the meanest acre in the township.
In this free and Independent range
