Knoxville, Sept. 13. Eighty
two thousand bushels of wheat
are available in twenty-four East
Tennessee counties for farmers
who want seed wheat. The same
counties have $4,000 bushels of
rye. The remainder of Tennessee
farmers have only 23,800 bushels

els of rye. All of this seed was
inspected by the county agents
making the survey.
The official estimate has just
been completed by Prof. Chas.
A. Keffer. director of the extern
sion division of the University of
Tennessee. Each agent in each
county of Tennessee made a sur
vey of the available seed wheat
for sale in his county, and re-
ports were made to Prof. Keffer.
The university extension divis-
ion announces that it will act as
a clearing house for buyers and
sellers. .-~ &.
The campaign to tabulate the
amount of food on hand in Ten
nessee is being conducted under
the direction of Miss Virginia P.
Moore and her staff of assistants.
To base an estimate on a thorough
survey of foods on hand in kitch.
ems in twelve counties is being
made. Only two counties to base
an estimate on foods on hand in
wholesale and retail stores are
being surveyed.
