Questions And Answers
To Current Farm Problems
Question: Under present financial
conditions would it be best to plant
cheap seed or cut the acreage and
plant only pedigreed seed?
Answer: Planting cheap seed is!
the most expensive investment a far
mer can make under any conditions.
Plant a smaller acreage to the best
seed obtainable. The smaller • plant
ing will, in many cases, produce as
much as the larger acreage planted
to cheap seed. The land thus releas
ed may be sown to legumes such as
cowpeas, clover, or lespedeza as a
soil building or grazing crop.
duly docketed in said superior court,
the undersigned commissioner will ex
pose at public sale to the highest
bider, for cash, on the 21st day of
