SEED GRAIN NOW
IN ELEVATROS
All Grain Warehouse Men In North
Dakota Must State the Amount of
Seed Grain Now on Hand in the
Elevators.

A recent dispatch from Bismarck
says that in order that the legisla-
ture, when it convenes in special ses-
sion January %, may have some
definite information upon which to
work, and as a means Of regulating
the distribution Of seed grain now on
hand within the state, the railway
commission this week adopted the fol-
lowing resolution:
Whereas, there has been a short
crop in certain portions of this state,
and there is an apparent scarcity of
seed for planting the 1918 crop, and
whereas, it is desirable to accurately
determine the amount Of grain on
hand in the various elevators of this
state, which is or may be available
for seed, so as to save unnecessary
transportation of seed between vari-
Gus parts of the state; Be it resolved,
that all public warehouses be requir-
ed to state the amount of grain on
hand in each elevator which they op-
crate. This report should show the
amount of grain IN hand awaiting
shipment; thet amount on hand held
for seed purposes, the amount on
hand held IN orders of the food ad-
ministration, which is considered by
warehousmen as suitable for Seed"
Another resolution adopted by the
commission requires all grain ware
housemen and mills in this state to
make a report to the board Of all
grain purchased from July /, 1917, to
January Is, 1918, showing the
amount of the different grades and
classifications, and a report of all
grain sold during date Of shipment,
car number, destination and con-
signee and the grades placed on each
car and the terminals at which grades
were established. In Ease Of COM
panies operating more than one ele-
vator, a separate report is asked for
each station at which grain is re-
ceived. The report is to be varified
by the manager in charge of the
records, under oath.
Blanks mailed all elevators and
warehouses and mills in North Da-
kota upon which these reports may
be made, designate the five classes of
dark northern, northern, amber du-
rum, red or common durum, mixed
wheat, oats, rye, barley and flax.

strom on the question, Resolved,
That the New Farmers League would

Mr.. Garden is a person who likes to
urge some one else to do his politi-
cal junk for him, but who lacks the
nerve to do it himself.
Mr.. Garden, is, as we all know, a

this celebrated ex-solon of the people

Garden will not side step this propo-
sition but give the poor deluded peo-
pie a chance to get unto his great

chine which he and a few others Of
his bosom political friends have hatch
ed up to try and get back into office.
