itor Melby, and more are coming
In every day. Chairman Emerson
asked The Tribune to advise the
farmers to get these cards in as soon
as possible, and not later than on
Feb. % when the board would con-
vene again. These cards were
mailed out for the purpose of ascer-
tanning the amount of grain that
the board would be asked to fur
nish, so that the right amount Of
bonds might be issued, and the
right amount of grain bought. Ev-
cry reader of this paper who wants
to be furnished with seed grain
should go to his local banker and
procure one of the cards, and mail
same to the county auditor without
delay.
1t is believed that all the neces-
sary seed wheat may be procured
right here in the county. though it
will be necessary to ship in some
oats and probably other grains
from either Canada or South Dako-
ia. Those farmers residing In the
county that have any seed or feed
grain to sell should notify Chair
man Emerson Of the amount they
have and the price per bushel want
ed. It MAY also be necessary for
the county board in some cases to
furnish farmers with hay, and
those having hay to sell might also
write Mr.. Emerson.

Every Detail Of Seed Grain
Law Viii Be Carried 0ut

The county commissioners of
Burke county adjourned last Mon
day evening after being in session a
week, and have completed all ar
rangements for furnishing the
needy farmers with seed grain dur
ing the coming spring. In talking
with The Tribune Tuesday morn
ing, J. E. Emerson, chairman of the
board, stated that the new seed and
feed law passed by the recent ses-
sion of the legislature would be
followed in every particular, and
that while it was the intention of
the county board to supply every
farmer in the county with all the
seed and feed he could use, provid-
ing such farmer was unable to pro-
cure same himself, Mr.. Emerson
would not be in favor of furnishing
one person with a large amount Of
grain if such act would keep sew
eral others from procuring any at
all. Mr.. Emerson was not sure
whether the county would be able
to furnish all gram that would be
asked for, and in case the county
cannot fill all demands, Mr.. Emer-
son would be in favor of dividing
the grain prorata amone the needy
farmers.
A number OF the cards mailed
out last week to the various banks
in the county have already been re-
turned to the Office of County Aud
