seed grain. all of which will of neces-
sity require considerable time. 1t
seems To be the prevailing opinion that
it is now too late in the year to put
into operation and elective act Of that
sort and purchase the seed Hereunder
In time for this years crop.
However, house bill No. Is. the sec
ond bill mentioned, appropriates mon-
ey outright for this purpose and does
not by its provisions create "A lein upon
any of the property of the farmer, ex-
cept the council may, as hereinbefore
mentioned take such security as the
circumstances viii warrant.
I am now informed that practically
all of the $500. 900 will be available just
as soon as the state Council of De-
Tense has been appointed and they
have organized and perfected their
rules and regulations for the eNpendi-
ture of the money. This. l am re-

boys in France and sin against So
ciety to allow land to lay idle that has
already been plowed and prepared for
seeding, just because some one does
not have the seed and is financially UNI
able to get it at this time. This Is not
a selfish matter with the farmer. He
is willing to do his part and to go

There have been so many requests
made for an explanation of the pro-
cedure necessary in connection with
the seed grain laws just passed that
hereby submit the following state

them:

reason of drought, hail or other mis-
fortune, in any county of the state, it
shall be lawful for the board of coun-
ty commissioners OF such county, upon
being pctitioncd so to do, to purchase
seed grain of such kinds ms may be
necessary and to furnish and supply
such seed grain to the Inhabitants of
such county who are engaged in the
occupation of farming and who are
financially unable to procure seed grain
and who require such seed grain in

signer's postoffice address and the
Number Of his voting precinct.
Third: II upon the filing OF such pc
tition il shall be determined by the
board of county commissioners that it
shall be necessary to supply and fur
nish any of the inhabitants of such
county with seed, then said board shall
make an order granting such petition
and shall make an estimate of the
quantity of seed required and the
amount of Indebtedness the county will
be required to incur in order to fur

Fourth: II the estimated indebted

munity there are farmers who will not
have enough labor to work all their
land. These hundreds Of thousands of
idle fields may be worked by city men,
out of work because of the lul in
building operations.
1t Is suggested that group of these
men get together and buy tractor and
a few other farm implements on the
cooperative plan. They can lease idle
fields, living in deserted farm build

These men, accustomed to working
