LAW FAILS TO SPECIFY
FOR SEEDING IN FALL

Helena, July .27.-Attorney General
Ford today rendered to Commissioner
of Agriculture Greenfield the opinion
that farmers in this state cannot be
supplied with seed wheat for fall
planting by the counties under the
state seed act. The intent of the law
was to afford such relief both in fall
and spring, and this spring it was at
forded. But q flaw in the statute
causes omission of mention of such
service for fall planting and unless pa
triotic monied men come to the rescue
OF the farmers, fall planting may be
greatly reduced. as poor crops have
pinched many farmers.
