Delaware Co. Farm Bureau

and Is to be arranged through the
Farm Bureau office and given under
the direction of the Veterinary Diyi-
sion of the Extension Department Of
the Iowa State College.
Pure Seed Bill
This Is known as the uniform seed
law. The main feature OF the bill is
that 1t gives Iowa practically the same
law that Is In force now in the ma
jority Of the states of the mid west.
It protects against the selling Of seeds
containing obnoxious and unlawful
weed seeds, providing for intra-state
shipments OF the same, but permits the
farmer selling an agricultural mix
ture OF seeds to dispose OF them to-
his neighbor without being so strictly
up against the law. The provision Of
this act makes 1t impossible to sell any
seed containing seeds Of Canadian
Thistle, Quack grass, dodders, buck
horn, and wild carrot by anyone.
Dissemination Of Agricultural Shtis-
tics.
In the state of Iowa valuable In
formation has been collected every
year through the assessors. but 1t
has been of little use because no pro-
vision was made for the dissemination
OF this information regarding the
amount of livestock, crops, ETC., on
hand when the assessor called. $500
was appropriated to the Weather and
Crops Service under the direction OF
Mr.. Reed OF Des Moines, which will
make 1t possible to disseminate this
information soon after the assessors
returns are received.
Miscellaneous Acts
In addition to these many accom-
plishments, our Legislative Committee
lent effort to many bills, not only
OF our own introducing but of other
bills that were favorable towards
helping farmers. A bill for the dis
position OF dead carcasses OF animate
was introduced by Ingersoll, and pass
ed. Our Committee helped in secur-
ing aid for County Fairs where they
have permanent improvements and
where the county owns the Fair
Grounds.
It can be safely said that this
record Of the Iowa Farm Bureau
Federation is without parallel so far
as the securing OF agricultural legisla-
ton is concerned. It has never been
equaled.

More than that we are finding 1t
profitable to widen the scope OF
government right in the face OF ris-
ing taxes. Because government pays.
New departments, new bureaus, new
government activities are establish

But the people demand them. And
then-up 20 the taxes, and the peo-
pie complain.
It's a queer problem. There Is

CORN CROP is ASSURED
In Eastern Part of kansas-Others
Not So Good

The corn crop is assured In the
eastern third of the state generally,
but there is wide area through the
central portion, extending from
Reno, Sedgwick and Butler, north
west to Norton and Smith on the
Nebraska line, in which the crop Is a
partial failure from lack Of mois-
ture. Rains came too late to save 1t,
and the condition Is rated as "poor,"
says the latest weekly crop report
issued by the federal weather bureau
here.
Taking the state as a whole, the
conditions Of the week were favor
able with frequent rains and cool
weather. The only part Of the state
needing rain was the western. In
that section the condition Of the
corn crop is reported to be "decid-
edly variable" Some western coun-
ties. such as Morton and Stevens
that received rain earlier in the sea

There is but one change in texts
this year. Mace's beginners his

at Ottumwa, Iowa, Feb. Z, 1859,

Margaret Hildebrandt, and in March
1892 they took up homestead some
ten miles south of Hoxie, Sheridan

happy years, though enduring the
hardships and privations incident to
sparsely settled country. For a
few years there were but two fami-

TAXES

Every year the people have to pay

Government is getting more and

is doing more and more things. AT
a glance men say let government re-
strict its area, narrow its activity.
