1914 Seed Situation Serious

The seed corn and seed cotton stu
tion is more serious this year than 1t
has been for some time, according to
Mr.. d. @. Welty, Commissioner OF
Agriculture for the Iron Mountain
whose department has carried ON
quite an investigation as to conditions,
and who has gone into the matter very
thoroughly with both State and FEEDER
al authorities.
The long wet fall made seed gather
| ing and storing difficult, and the in
yestigations which have been carried
on by the Iron Mountain show that
there is serious situation confront
ling the farmers in securing gooo
planting seed for their corn and cot
ton crops this season,
In number of instances, SEED mas
tested as low as 10 per cent, very few
Of the tests having gone over 6o per
cent. This means that if much OF the
seed is planted without testing, many
. Iffarmers will find that they have only
from 10 per cent to so per cent OF ohe
crop that they would like. No farmer
can afford to plant seed, a large por
! ton Of which will not grow, and
7 little time spent in making the GERM
i nation test will often save replantlni
! Of field or a reduced yield due to poo
Il seed.
N The testing of seed is really yer
Il simple matter and takes practically n
u time from the other farm work, as
q can be done in the evening or by ID

This area is in northeastern Arizona,

The reports fled by the twenty mine

Executive saw fit to give the Filipinos
control of both branches OF their

countered was legacy of the reckless
Forbes administration, a deficit OF
