week ago against the eastern and
northeastern fronts OF the Austrian
Italian theatre. continues unabated.
The invaders are pressing the Ital-
ians westward from the Isona front
and invading Italian territory. On

farmers who are willing to hold seed

next spring at the government fixed
price. It is not necessary that they
do so. 1t would not be fair to expect
it,
Any farmer who has good seed

spring, is urged to do so. While

1t is desirable that many farmers
are not proper storage facilities to

pleas to be included. They offered
various arguments why they should
