AIDING THE FARMERS
Council of Defense to Help Them Get
Sorghum Seed.

The crop production committee o.
the Kansas council of defense, under
the direction of DR.. W. NJ. Jardine, is
making a seed inventory of the state
There is serious shortage of corn
and sorghum seed in Kansas, due to
early frostS last fall which checked
the normal maturing of these crops
AT least 40 per cent of the corn pro-
duced is unfit for seed. Twenty to So
counties in central and western KAN
sas will be compelled to import seed
corn. The sorghum shortage is even
more acute since SO to rs per cent
of the crop was damaged. Surround
ing states are having similar trouble
and have been sending to Kansas for
seed.
The committee on crop production
has sent out QUESTIONABLE to all the
aVa1laDie addresses of farmers in the
state who grow corn or sorghum. The
farmers in filling out this question
naire will tell how much and what
kind of seed they will need. Those
who have seed for sale will give the
quantity and quality.
This information will be tabulated
and the names of the farmers publish
ed with the amount of seed they want
to buy, or have to sell. In this way the
needs of the farmers will be met in
the interest of greater food produc-
ton. Tie cooperation of the public
is desired
