whatever All must agree that with
out good seed there can not posi-
bly, be a good crop Of wheat, no
matter how the ground is prepared, no
matter how much nor what fertilizer
is used and no matter what kind
of season follows the sowing. Why,
the simplest, most uneducated old
granny who ever stuck bean into
the ground or hoed later hill
recognizes the value and importance
of good seed II she hears OF some
extra fine truck miles away she will
tramp through rain or the broiling sun
to get some for seed. But there are
farmers who go on year after year,
and making no effort TO improve the
stock. But there are others, fortunate.
ly, who want to do better. These
men would SOW good wheat II they
could get it, and are willing TO buy
and would buy If they could get
the wheat at anything like fair
price. But usually they must send
away for the seed, pay good suft
price for It, pay freight, and, worse
than all, run risk of not getting
u good article.
And now We come TO the meat" Of
this article. A firm in this city, well
known, reliable and, like the News, a
sLaunch friend OF the farmer, has
made it possible for all who so desire
to procure a guaranteed seed wheat,
pure, unmixed of the best known va
riety, chosen with this section Of
the country in mind, 80 that the wheat
Is eminently adapted to our soil and
climate. The firm is the Big Sandy
Milling Company, practical millers
and responsible business men. This
firm will purchase and have in stock
In time to be seededLa large SUP
Ily of seed wheat, the finest
ever brought to Louisa 1t was
selected,as before stated with the view
OF supplying the farmers of this sec
ton with a seed that will meet
every demand of purity, adlptablity,
yield and expense. IN purchasing this
wheat the buyer runs no risk whatev-
er and it is offered to him at the
bare cost Of the wheat and its trans
portation TO Louisa. Here is an OPP
Fortunily seldom offered. You get at
first cost a prime article of seed You
see the goods before you spend a cent
You put it into the ground knowing
that, If the season IS good. you will
reap good wheat, and here in Lou
lisa, almost at your door, is a mill
that will give you in cash or good fIOu
the top of the market for your wheat.
Your part of the work IS to haul your
wheat to Louisa and carry back 10
Your home the cash or its equiya-

any mill in the country. There is
no shipment to mills you know moth

Quoted at, let us say, 80 cents. Before

paid If 1t had gone to 95 do you
suppose you got So? Not much, you
were lucky to get your ninety. No
such risk is runby sending your whea

your product you'll get It. If you
simply want to swap it's just the
same way-youll get a fair, equit-

But with all this pleasantly. which
Is every bit the truth, however, let
US not lose sight OF one or two very
important facts. The first is that the
season for wheat sowing is at hand.
