A ctvice, Mr. Mercier to Mr. Freeman; Mr. Free man to Mr. Stevens; Mr. Stev ens to the Farmers. Mr. R. VV. Freeman, Wilson, N. C. Dear sir: I do not know whether the question of securing seed for the increase of food crops under the emergency call that has been made recently has affected your territory very much or not. In some sections it has been very serious, and in many cases it was practically impossible to get suf ficient seed of any of the staple crops that we are recommending for food purposes. We have had information from some of the seed concerns that they expect the shortage in all good seeds to continue through the next season; and, for this reason, I am writing you to urge upon your agents the importance of getting every farmer to select and save sufficient seed of all of his staple crops for next year's planting; and, where a man is particularly" interested in this kind of work, to encourage him to grow and Jave for sale. It would now appear, that the ques tion of food crops is going to be one for several years considera tion; and, as you well know, there is no pbas of it that is' more important than the right kind of seed We find that crimson clover, upon which we have been placing so much stress recently, is almost an entire failure throughout our territory, therefore, if you have any good fields of crimson clover in you territory it would be a splendid proposition to notify your agents to urge every farmer to save all the seed of this cr jp that is possible, as I am sure there will be a demand for it at good prices. Of course we have made some progress in getting good corn and cotton seed in resent years, but I think this should extend to all the other crops which we are trying to encourage. It has also been pretty well established throughout the country thdt home grown seed, when properly selected, is better than any that can be bought, even when the seed companies can furnish seed, you will note that they never sell it under a guarantee; and, if a man grows it himself and selects it in his own field, he undoubted ly has something better than he can buy, even if he has the money and the other man the seed. Iam merely calling your atten tion to this early, so that you can be considering it and getting out instructions to your agents for taking care of this propssition Yours very truly W. B. Mercier.
