SURVEY ON SEED
NEEDS FOR NEXT
SPRING IS MADE
Are Slow in Return
ing Blanks; 1900 Cam
vassed by Agent

Hardness of farmers in returning
questionaires pertaining to their
seed needs for the 1888 crop year
is hampering a survey being made
by the county agents office. Only
S5 of approximately 1900 planters
to whom the qu%estionaires were sent
have returned the blanks, County
Agent Rasmussen said.
The survey is being taken to help
ascertain the extent of government
tai funds necessary to insure seed
for planting in the spring. The sur
vey is being conducted by the county
agents office and the compiled re-
ports are forwarded to government
seed agencies. The report will also
be used by the county Farmers Tn
ion in eXpediting seed loan legisla-
ton in the present national con-
gress.
Seed loans are handled through
the feed and seed loan division of
the Farm Credit administration,
which gets its funds by an annual
appropriation from congress
I'm view of the fact that this
area is one of few in the nation re-
curing seed loans next spring, "Ras-
musson said, farmers are urged to
Immediately return the question
naires which they received. Only
through an accurate, concise survey
can the government learn the aid
needed, and absence of a true pic
ture of the situation will mean be-
lated, if any, legislation by congress
to get seed here in time for spring
planting
Farmers needing seed who have
not returned the survey blank are
requested to do so at once, Rasmus-
son concluded. He estimated that
rs per cen of Sheridan colunty
farmers will need seed loans before
they ssay begin spring farming OPP
erations.
