prepared sby the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
The war program for food produc-
ton is to receive the active support
of seedmen throughout the nation.
The American Seed Trade association
recently in session in Chicago has
pledged its support in communication
to- Secretary Houston. It's resolution
says that the association, realizing the
urgent and extraordinary need exist
ing for tremendously Increased produc-
ton of seeds on account of the devas-
tation wrought by the war in the prin-
cipal European producing centers and
the almost Frustrated condition of
transportation, preventing distribution,
and further realizing fully the pro-
found obligation thrown upon us, do
hereby renew to the president of the
United States and to the secretary of
agriculture our pledge of our entire re-
sources to win the war and to in
crease our efforts in producing crops
that we may stay the dread scourge of
famine, and we pledge to this end I'M
reservedly our money, our lands and

To this Mr.. Ousley, the acting sec

from time to time changes of prac-

agriculture of the country to meet
