Bulls This county has good num-

ave one OF the strictest seed inspec-
.aa laws in the United States and the
~ and most able seed inspector in
aaeTIca, Prof, a. L. Stone of Madi-
Nr.
When yOu buy seeds in this state

When you buy from another state

la laws prevent Wisconsin laws

oa another state.
