Set Up Roar Over Farmer
Olson's attempt to boost the appro-
priation for the seed certiftcation
division of the agricultural college
produced heat and bitterness before
1t finally was beaten.
Watt said the appropriation was
for a revolving fund which would be
maintained by fees to be collected
from persons whose fields we're GER
titled by the department, and E. H.
Brant, Emmons county. explained
that some salaries for department Of
ficials had been taken out Of the ap-
preparation in the past.
J. E. Eastgate, Grand Forks county,
contended that farmers who have
their fields certified should pay the
cost and Paul Kretschmar, Logan
county. said the legislature was told
four years ago and two years ago
that the fees would maintain the
revolving fund. whereas new appro-
priation had been asked each time.
Ettcstad said farmers who raise
certified seed get more for 1t and
should pay the cost Of certification.

Patterson charged into the argu-
ment with the declaration that everv
time something to help the farmer
was proposed it met strenuous OPPOSE
ton. He said hundreds Of thousands
of dollars could be appropriated for
buildings and other items. but a small
appropriation to help the farmer
caused an unholy roar to go up
against It.
Hamilton said the additional ap-
preparation is necessary to give serv-
ice to farmers who want their fields
certified. and he presented some
other arguments in favor Of the bill
| Then came Hyland's reference to
the type of mind of the gentleman
from McHenry," which served as ar
introduction for the statement that
he is sick of hearing about imaginary
woes of the farmer. He said that
huge sums have been apportionad to
the agricultural college, department
of which administers seed certifica-
ton. and recited some of these appro-
priations in detail. He asserted that
the additional appropriation woule
not help the poor farmer but only
those who already were in good posi-.
ton and could take advantage of thu
law. The number, he said, would b<
few. He closed with the heatet
declaration IF this was decided on IL

consideration in no uncertain term.
X Fowler got the floor next and de
clared that each bill should stand O
fall on its own merits and that he sa,
no significance or merit in Hyland
reference to the other appropriation
for the agricultural college and n
logic or force of argument in his con
; tentions. He suggested that the dis
cussion be confined to the merits g
the bill and demanded to know tn
, occasion for all the heat and Turmoil
He suggested that the best thin
. would be to get the pertinent fact
! on the matter. There was no mis-
taking his own heat. however, as h

agricultural college appropriations.
