to consider the winter wheat acreage.
az maximum OF $2oS was fixed for
famed seed winter wheat. and any ono
having winter wheat suitable for seed
was ordered to hold his seed thirty
days, or until Sept. II. Most Of the
townships were represented by farmer
members of the council.
The need of Iowa and this county
seeding to winter wheat the acreage
allotted. which for the county is 5000.
was forcefullS brought to the attention
Of the farmers by Prof Paul Taft, of
iowa State College. In sections Of
Canada. he said, dry weather2will cut
the yield of wheat, far below the early
estimates. This condition makes 1t
necessary for Marshall county to soc
that its allotted acreage and more. IL
possible, is seeded to winter wheat.
Township chairmen who have not
yet procured the allotment OF acreage
for their townships were instructed to
canYas their townships at once and Sc.
cure the acreage. In order that home
grown seed may he available until
seeding time. motion was passed that
those having winter wheat seed must
hold II for local purchasers until Sept
II and that such wheat must be sold
only for seeding in Marshall county.
This motion was adopted because there
is not enough good seed wheat in the
county to seed the allotted acreage.
"A motion was passed that farmers
having winter wheat for sale should
send a pint sample to the office Of the
county agent, together with the num-
Der of bushels of the seed that is avail
able. The meeting was adjourned until
Saturday, Aug. 81, when it is expected
that eacht township will report that it's

A good kidney medicine. possessing real healing and curative value. should be a blessing to thousands of i nervous, over-worked women. Many send for a sample bottle te l see what Swamp Root, the great kia- ney. liver and bladder medicine will
