Demand For Good Seed wheat
We have received several calls for
good seed wheat and will no doubt
have many more rs the seeding season
approaches. The demand is greatest
for Turkey Red and Fulcaster. At
present We know of some sources of
fulcastcr seed, but know of very little
good grade Of Turkey. Farmers hay-
ing good seed, of any variety, for sale
would be helping themselves, a. well
"a others. to list Il in the Farm Bu-
rrau office.
While writing this article. the Coun-
~ Agent received letter from an
other county agent who wants 1000
bushels Of bcardless wheat.
Pleased With Imported seed Corn !:
Last spring the county agent pre-
vailed on u number of farmers in Holt
county to plant pure seed corn. Six
ty.ilvc bushels OF Rcids yellow Dent
and Boone County White seed corn
were ordered from the g.. u. sutton
and Funk Seed companies. of Illinois.
Every farmer planting this seed IL
very much pleased with II and Is con.
WINGED now that Il pays 10 plant the
best seed available.
The boys who Won the ribbons on
corn at the Maitland Fair planted
some Of this imported seed.

Holt county farmers produce Just
rs good and rs big crops Of corn,
wheat, alfalfa and other general crops

much outside the county.
