SEED HELP WANTED United States Will Come to the. Rescue. of Farmers. JOHN H. RICH, Chairman and Federal Reserve Agent. Minneapolis, Minn., Jan. 10.—Devel- opments in thé seed corn situation ‘during the month are not especially encouraging. In sections where it was supposed that a percentage of the 1917 crop had matured without being touehed by frost, it has proven impes- sible to locdte any amount of satis- factory see available for shipment to districts that have no corn. The to- tal amount of seed corn which has been located through the efforts that have been in progress for more than @ month past, is very smalt compared witly the demand that will arise in the spring... «. ‘ 4 Purchase of Seed. Wit, hthe promise of federal assist- ance in purchasing and storing such seéd as can be located, the prospect of saying a considerable part of the seed: that can be located in the hands of farmers is much improved. Active efforts are in progress to eneourage’ all. bamks im the portions of the Ninth disttict where corn is raised, to report during the next fifteen days the total amount of seed that can be pur- chased. im theif localities. These re ports, in addition to those already re- ceived will constitute. a census of the purchasable seed corn within the Ninth district, and will provide a bas- is upon which-the deficiency of seed for spring planting ean be estimated. It is improbable that the suppiles dis- covered by this process will be suffi- cient, together with the amounts re- served by individual farmers, to plant a normal spring aereage. 4 The business outlook throughout the district haS improved somewhat dur- ing the past ten days as a result of the cancellation of railroad priority orders, and there is a prospect. that needed ‘shipments wit! come forward more readily than for some time past. While ne appreciable change in the traffic situation:, has, yet occurred,’ there is considerable hopefulness on the part of lines of business chiefly interested that <the resuft of govern: ment. control will be to slowly restore sertons! order, and put 4@ end te tie disturbances: iq the moxément of trat-| fic that have continued for many months past. ‘Winter ee eee | ee: Mid-winter crop predictions are ually wabattatactory. At the same time a egies of the Bituation devel ops some ,sifopmation upon which. rind cont y be forgeasted. In Montana, E wheat is about the av prospects for spring w! fair on account of Reserve | Dakota, and the shortage of feed. | In the northwestern counties of, Montana, the prospects for planting are better than oth tions of the state. Much land that was broken last year for flax will prodably be seeded to wheat thi spring. Im North Dakota, there has been a very heavy in rye acreage, running from 50 per cent to 75 per cent over last year. .Pres- ent indications are that there will be a decrease of from 10 per cent to 15 per cent in the spring wheat acreage, although a favorable spring with the present attractive grain prices may have the effect of overcoming to some extent the present prospective short- age. South Dakota has heavily in-) icreased the rye acreage, and in com-; mon with Minnesota and North Da-! kota, will probably show a decreased ; planting of corn. There is some in- crease in the rye reage in ‘Minne- sota, and the prospect of a consider- able increase in the spring planting of barley. Livestock Situation. The extent to which extremely fav- orable prices for live stock have off- set the 1917 losses on grain crops throughout the entire district is hard- ly appreciated except by those who have closely followed the situation. One of the fortunate results of the past year is that farmers were thus enabled to discount the serious ef- fects of the crop failure. In western North Dakota and eastern Montana, there will be many instances in the spring of farmers, especially those who have recently gone into these sections, who will need financial as- sistance in putting in their crops. Ov- er the remainder of the district, farm- ers are in very fair financial shape. The chief agricultural problem at this time is that of obtaining satisfactory supplies of seed, and of providing a method for the financing of seed pur chases in the districts that were hard- est hit by last year's failure. There is a noticeable change in pud-! lic opinion with the commmg of the new year. The determination of the people of the northwest to stand solid-| , ly by the government and render the}; fullest possible support in men andj! money under present war conditions/ is clearly apparent. 1917, kept business on an even keel and were yet able to subscribe $208,- tory and the western half of North) MURDERS TWO AND COMMITS SUICIDE’ WHY WAS “UNCLE Tom's CABIN" NCT .cb- WRITTEN BEA _ % “a. % FEMALE HAND? /° ‘ —— RECADIE IT WAS WRITTEN AG {DIDN'T THINK YE KNoweD! a Partland, Oregon, Jan. 10.—Wi!
