Growing Seed VS.. Buying
Seed

The South is the bonanza seed
market of this country. We buy
all kinds of seed. We buy very
many very burtfal and pestiferous
seeds
We are the dumping ground for
all the old, refuse, rejected. unsafe
able seed We have paid 80 little
attention to this business that we
are no judges of seeds Many of Us
do not know good seed from
sorry Nor do we know that we
can often grow better seed than we
buy. Nay, we have been taught to
believe that if a seed grows here it
is not as good as if it grew in some
other cline Our ignorance along
this line, and our belief of things that
are false, coats is annually millions of
dollars We buy seed at high prices
when we could have grown as good
and often better at very small cost.
WHO Is TO BLAME
We are not bringing any railing
accusation against any man or set
of men The seed dealers are as
honest as other men. But there are
tricks and tricksters 10 all trades
We must look 20 our interests.
We are simply stating facts that
have fallen under our observation.
We have sold seed, we have bought
seed. We know what we are talking
about.
We buy turnip.seed cucumbers
beets, radishes. and so oa through
the list of garden seed These seed
will mature here just as well as any
where.
We pay hundreds and thousands
Of dollars for Eastern Irish potatoes
every year. This is worse than use
less The potatoes grown here are
better. This is emphatically true Of
orr second crop. We have tried this
for twesty years with gratifying sue
cess.
But very many of US go further
than this !; we actually buy our heavy
farm seed. We buy barley. rye,
wheat, oats, grass, corn and cotton
seed And yet We Cal! ourselves
farmers
If it were possible to restore to the
South the money paid for seed since
the war, we would be the richest
section of this country. Why, if
any schemer offers US corn that grew
so far away that it will only produce
'Linco!n corn" OF cottonseed from
Africa eveo, called limbless, and from
Egypt called Iintless, or from India
aud called bolless, we just buy right
along
Farmers, grow your o~n seed, and
select them with care. Many men
have grown rich by doing this. Many
Of she finest varieties OF various
species have been developed here in
