SEED CORN WANTED
Harvey, X. Dak.

E. H. Kerkho
Pierz, Minn.
Dear Doctor:
We are   in   the   ma
for the following seed coi n:
50 Bu. Minn. No. 13.
50 Bu. Long-fellow "Flint"
75 Bu. N. W. Dent,
and have been wondering   if   it
were not possible for you to   refer us to some farmers in tlie vicinity of Pierz,  that  could  furnish us with the above seed corn.
Should you be fortunate en
tojjind parlies having  seed
sale, have thfcm send us
and quote   us   price    P.    O.    B.
rz.    They have to guarantee
that   corn showed   satisfactory
germination; not less than ninety-five per-cent.
Would  also be   glad   to i
them quote us price on   red   clover and timothy.
Thanking you in advance for
any favor you may do us in this
way, and hoping you are all enjoying the best of health, J remain,
Yours Respectfully,
C. I. Virnig.
POTATO   MEETING
A   meeting   will    be    held   in
Hubert Hares' Hotel on   Friday
March 8, at   half   past   one  inj
the afternoon, for the   pur;
of disc issi'i-g potato culture   in
Pierz.      Lei.   us   gat    together
and taik   over   what   kind   and1
quantity of seed potatoes to get
for the coning  season.      There
is no  question   but   that   Pierz!
and surrounding   country    will!
yield as large profits in potatoes
as in anything else,   especially:
since  wheat   is   a thing   of   the1
past.    With the  Soo   line   connection,    with   the    large   consuming centres, we ha/ve ugood
market at our.doors, ii' we   can
only   furnish   the    variety   the
market  calls    for.       AVI   those
interested are invited to   come.
