All: seeds, both field -and garden, have been scarce "and hard to get this past spring, and the price has been ex- tremely .high. From the present v put- look many seeds will be scarce next year; and,, in all probability, all seeds will .be very .high. We' should save seeds bf anv and ailerons -we ernw Wo .v- Uepenfd too much upon the seedsmen to furnish us with seed,." Because of the flood of last summer most' farmers in ' 'this - county were compelledto buy thei seed this year; Let us do our best to saye all seed that we can. for some other sections might be destroyed this, year as we were last year. One section - not many miles away was al-V most completely destroyed by hail last Saturday " . - The oat crop, from all reports,! will -be very short this year, and it is Ivery important that, you farmers who nave fields of good oats" save them for, sed. I believe you all realize more profit - from them if you will have them thresh ed. for the straw, makes good feed and the oats will bring a good price. And it may be impossible to buy them, and at any rate you will have your own sJ seed and save time and trouble in look ing for1 seed when you get ready to sow your crop. - c Crimson elover seed will be very scarce this vf all and will perhaps be higher than ever,, bef are. Many seed are usually imported from Europe. . ; and of"course we. will be unable to get but very few, if any, from there this year. I know there is not a great deal of Crimsop clover in this County, but you farmers who have a patch should by all means save the seed. If we do not save what we have we may have J none to sow. Most of you know how scarce and high spy beans and cow peas have been this spring. We should plan now to make and save our own seed for an other year. Both of these legumes are very high, but if your supply of seed is limited you can put them in rows 2 m- 2 1-2 feet apart and cultivate them( twice. In this way you reduce the cost of seed to at least one third what it would be to broadcast them. They may be harvested for seed or cut for hay, just as if broadcasted. , If you gather the peas for seed and leave the vines, your land will be 'greatly im proved. FRANK FLEMING.
