C. State College, have made up a list of garden seeds needed to feed a family of five for a full year. Bead dealers in every part at the State have agreed to offer these seed collections in special packages, at a reduced rate when bought all at the same time. H. R. Niswonger, one of the horticulturists, says the prices of the garden seed collections range from 16.36 to |6.60, as quoted by dealers. The packages contain about 26 pounds of garden seed, which, if planted correctly and cultivated properly, will furnish an abundant supply of fresh vegetables for a farm family of five, with a surplus for canning ~nd storage. "If a farmer buys this special garden seed package, he will save considerable money," Niswonger declared. "A comparison of prices quoted by dealers for the.26-pound collection, with seed catalogues listing the various seeds in separate packages, shows that the seed would cost from $2.66 to (12 more when bought at intervals during the garded planting season." The State College leaders said that county farm and home agents have informsti<fti on the source of these special garden seed collections. They will help farm people to plant them. • ■ - * , i Scrap Metal Sales Aid Farmers and Red Cross Scrap iron and steel is seeded in I the defense program .... the Ameri- j can Bed Cross needs money for, emergency work ... farmers want to, help is the, war effort in every way possible. Dean L 0. Schaub, director of the State College Extension Service and agricultural representative on ' the executive committee of the State Defense Council, suggests a way for farmers to serve—to "Scrap the Japs With Scrnp." • i. In Hoke County, he says, a onelay scrap metal collection campaign' mis conducted, and farmers brought tn more than 300,000 pounds °' dis-j carded farm machinery, trkctors, gas engines, automobiles, fence wire, etc. I They sold the icnfe to licensed deal- j era at from 40 to 65 cents per 100. pounds. "Instead of packeting the 'money j received for the scrap, most of the farmers turned around and donated: the cash to the Bed Cross," Dean! Schaub reported. "In this way, the farmers provided metal for guns and t munitions, and for the manufacture of farm machinery, while donating; to the Bed Cross more money than! they otherwise would have been able to give." Dean Schaub suggested that the •crap metal collection campaigns which win be conducted in other counties this month be patterned along the same lines as the Hoke County drive.
