STATE BOARD WILL GIVE
SEED WHEAT TO FARMERS

Sulphur, Okla, Sept. 2S,-The state
board of agriculture yesterday began
the distribution of carload Of better
wheat seed to Oklahoma farmers. The
wheat was purchased at Medicine
Lodge, Kans., and total of 1000
bushels have been ordered. It Is
known as the Kharkof species, having
originated from Russian wheat, and
is otherwise known as hard Turkey
red wheat.
The board of agriculture is selling
this to the Oklahoma farmers, in five
bushel lots at $3.50 per lot or s1.5O
per bushel, freight prepaid to pur-
chasers where the price of the wheat
and the freight does not come to $15O
per bushel
President Connors of the state
board of agriculture has shipped 10e
bushels of the pure wheat seed to the
McAlester penitentiary, and will plant
100 acres of the penitentiary farms in
it. 1t is thought that with good
yield this 100 acres will grow enough
to make the penitentiary distrib
uting point itself next year.
The seed the board is distributing
is of the same kind and quality al
the $4,000 bushels the Rock Islant
railroad has purchased for Oklahoma
wheat farmers.
