FARMERS URGED TO SA£E SEED Higher Prices Likely Next Year for Grass and Legume Seeds With the prospect of a scarcity of legume and grass seeds next year on acootmt of the drought, Macon county farmers are being advised this week by the county farm agents,, S. W. Mendenhall and S. D. Alexander, to save all the lespedeza seed, soybeans and cowpeas possible from this year’s crops. A circular letter sent out by the farm agents quoted J. B. Huston, director of the east central divi sion of the Agricultural Adjustment administration, as ^ saying that re ports indicate the drought has ser iously reduced the seed harvest of important pasture and meadow grasses and has affected the seed crop of lespedeza, clover, sweet clover and other legumes in major seed-producing areas. In view of this, much higher prices for seeds in this category are predicted for next year. “Therefore,” it was advised,” it is to the interest of every Macon county farmer to plan now to save all the lespedeza, soybeans and cowpeas possible. Where you have a poor stand of lespedeza and you think it is niO't possible to save a good amount of seed tliis year, you may still have enough to reseed next year if it is left on the land. We know that we can pan all types of lespedeza, so where you have a fairly good stand of any kind it may pay yiou to raise your cutter bar high and clip the weeds off now so that clean seed may be ob tained. Save your own seed, for they may be high next year.” PARKER-PARRIS Miss Wilma; Parker and Fred Parris, both of Alarka, Swain coun ty, were married in the Register of Deeds office Wednesday morning, with magistrate George Carpenter officiating.
