No. 1 oats and 750 bushels ot Golden 

 Glow corn, to be used for seeding pur- 

 poses this spring. 



"Being unable to fill these orders 

 ourselves we must turn them over to 

 other growers of Wisconsin pure bred 

 seeds," states Mr. Bible, adding that 

 it is the intention of the Chippewa 

 county farm managers to plant 200 

 acres of Wisconsin No. 12 com this 

 spring, together with a hundred acres 

 each of Pedigree No. 1 oats and Wis- 

 consin Pedigree, or Oderbrucker, bar- 

 ley. 



Establishing these local centers for 

 home grown seeds of tested vitality 

 and guaranteed purity is one of the 

 most important results of the exten- 

 sion activities carried on during the 

 past ten years by the College of Agri- 

 culture, through its field crops staff. 

 County farms at Peshtigo, Marinette 

 county, Richland Center, Richland 

 county, Reedsburg, Sauk county, New 

 Richmond, St. Croix county, and Wy- 

 ocena, Columbia county, have become 

 of direct service to neighboring farm- 

 ers in this way. The State School for 

 Boys at Waukesha, the Indian school 

 near Tomah, and the Northern State 

 hospital at Winnebago are also in line 

 with the project.

 line of production is that of Chippewa 

 county at Chippewa Falls, F. O. Bible, 

 superintendent. 



In a letter to the officials of the field 

 crops department. College of Agricul- 

 ture, Mr. Bible says that within three, 

 weeks ending Feb. 15, the Chippewa
