The Saturdays News Buys z Bushels
Of Cossack AlfaIfa---Lik Buying Gold

For immediate delivery we will
furnish you with 100 pounds of Cos
sack alfalfa seed for $500
This is a copy Of a dispatch re
ceived by The Saturday News from a
prominent seed house, which, forum,
ately for itself, succeeded in securing
during the early part of the winter
about all the loose alfalfa seed in the
country.
A Canadian farmer, residing in On,
tario, who regularly reads The Sat
urday News-which may account for
his progressive ideas and his scien,
tidc farming-asked the manager of
this paper to locate and ship him two
bushels Of Cossack alfalfa seed.
He wanted nothing but the genuine
stuff. He had read in The Saturday
News how this alfalfa was brought to
this country-how Professor Hansen
had climbed the steppes and had
crossed the barren wastes of frigid
Siberia, and had wandered in other
out of the way places, in search of an
alfalfa hat would withstand the rigors
of any sort of a climate wherein al
falfa would grow at all.
Professor Hansen, it will be re-
membered, brought over to this coun-
try an ounce or so Of this seed. White
meandering about in one of the little
villages of Russia, in a section whose
climatic conditions are more severe
during the winter than any locality in
South Dakota, he happened to notice
a load of alfalfa passing along-at
least, a load of hay with more or less
alfalfa intermixed. He pricked up his
ears and ported his helm so as to
point his nose in the direction Of the
hay.
Arriving upon the scene, he parley-
ed with the teamster and succeeded
in buying the load. Then he con-
tracted for several more loads. Then
he hired a bunch of women and girls
and set them to sorting over the hay.
They received instructions concerning
their duties.
Whenever they found a spear Of al
falfa containing a little seed on the
end OF it. they were to lay il aside.
After sorting over several loads of
this kind of hay, they had collected
suite a little bunch of alfalfa.

Then Hanson dismissed his helper,
and commenced to thresh out th,
seed by means of a stick or somethins
answering TO the description of /;
crude fail. BY the time he had fin
ished his threshing he was enabled
10 gather up a few thimblefuls Of seed
This he carefully wrapped within a
little leather pouch and poked the
package into his pocket.
From this bit of seed has developed
a large acreage of alfalfa, which the
professor named Cossack, after the
kind OF people among whom he had
discovered it and among whom it had
been growing perhaps for centuries
maybe for a thousand years, maybe
more.
1t is this kind of seed hat this scien.
tific Canadian farmcr-who reads
The Saturday N~ews-wanted and
which he asked The Saturday News
to get for him.
The Saturday News wrote To vari-
u parties known to have grown it.
but no seed was located definitely ex-
cepting with the seed house whose
telegram is reproduced at the head of
this column-the house that had vir-
tually cornered the crop of seed.
To make assurance doubly sure.
The Saturday News asked Hon. Hans
Mathiesen to skirmish among his fell
low members of the legislature for
this seed. Mr.. Mathiesen located two
bushels of it at Cottonwood, grown
and owned by an associate member
of the house. This he bought on be-
half of The Saturday News and or
dered it shipped to the farmer men
toned at Aylmer, Ontario, Can. 1t is
supposed to go forward today by ex-
press.
The wholesale price-which the
grower kindly quoted for The Sat
urday News Canadian friends sixty
cents a pound, the retail price being
81 a pound if bought of the seed
house, or sos for 120 pounds "for
immediate delivery" Having already
procured the 100 pounds elsewhere,
the farmer desiring it was thus hap
PLY saved the difference between s72
and $9S.

while" farmers in North America read

Seldom does SO many of the rec
concentrations contained in a Cover
nor's message become enacted into
law as was the case with those con-
tanned in Governor Norbeck's mes
sage.
Among the governors recomnen-
dations which have now become laws
were:
Prohibition law. The governor rec.
commended that a strong law with
practical enforcement features be
passed to carry but the provisions OF
the 11dry" constitutional amendments.

iii. Providing for all county sheriffs
working under one head. Also fora

submitting amendment for hail insur-
ance through a state department.

new work. Fewer new laws were
passed than in several sessions last
past. One measure in which the pee
pie are generally interested is the L.
w. W.s law, which provides a heavy
penalty for carrying weapons On
trains, n Investing train crews with
police powers to carry out the pre-
visions of the measure.
While the legislature OF North Da-
kota has been receiving much pub
licity as a farmers" legislature. yet
the fact remains that in the North
Dakota legislature the farmers are in
the minority. while in South Dakota
Is out of 1876 are farmers and stock
men, eight more than a majority, and
the South Dakota legislature has
passed more legislation OF Interest to
the agricultural classes than. has any
session of the legislature in the north
west.
The Farmers Non-Partisan League
has urged the legislature to open the
door wide enough to allow the state
to indulge in business UNDERTAKINGS
that will help bring the producer ana
the consumer together and do away!
with The monopoly and private cen
troll OF the n Of trade. Such an
amendment strongly backed BY "a.
