GAVE PLENTY OF SEED
OATS AND WHEAT
Dean Martin Nelson.

Arkansas farmers in the past have
been too dependent upon seed oats and
seed wheat from sources outside the
State because many cut their entire
crop for hay and save no seed No
greater mistake could be made this
year because economic conditions de-
mand that oats and wheat growers
save seed so that an abundant supply
will be available for fall, late winter
and spring seeding.
A greater acreage of wheat. rye and
winter oats will probably be planted
this fall than ever before. Certainly
II is 10 be preferred that all fields be
planted from seed grown under south
ern conditions. Seed locally grown
and from a variety which has made
good" is positively preferable to An
unknown supply.
