from all the large spud-producins
districts of the country, also sam
pies of seed potatoes and grains, ohe !
leading farm books. papers. etc.
All persons having California feed |
barley for sale for seed would do |
well to send half-bushel samples to
the institute and communicate with
the secretary or Professor Bennett,
as there is large inquiry for this
seed from all over the state. The
same is true this year of seed wheat
and oats. Send in peck or half
bushel samples. in good sack, with
name, variety, quantity and price.
