late planting, and will assist in locat- 

 ing seed stocks for localities where 

 shortages exist. The committee is co- 

 operating with state, local and commer- 

 cial agencies in an effort to secure 

 better distribution of seed, and to en-

 crops. 



Information regarding shortages and 

 surplus stocks should be addressed to

SEEDSMEN CAT.T.F.D TO CAPITAI.. 



' ' Any danger -which may have ex- 

 isted of a seed famine in the face of a 

 world emergency has been largely 

 minimized, if not wholly dispelled," 

 said J. C. McCullough, of the J. C. 

 McCullough Seed Co., Cincinnati, when 

 interviewed after the recent conference 

 of seedsmen with the National Council 

 of Defense at Washington. Mr. Mc- 

 Cullough was summoned to Washington 

 on a two hours' notice and found there 

 the biggest seed producers of the nation. 



"What the manufacturers of America 

 are planning to do to outfit the govern- 

 ment for a world war of the largest 

 possible proportions the seedsmen are 

 going to do for the farmers, so that 

 food supplies without stint will be 

 available," said Mr. McCullough. 



"This is a big problem, because 

 America is going to go in for agricul- 

 ture upon a scale scarcely even thought 

 of, let alone seriously contemplated. 

 Every state in the country is planning 

 to double, and probably to treble or 

 quadruple, its normal output of food 

 supplies from the soil. Every resource 

 at the disposal of the seedsmen will be 

 exerted to make the supply of seeds 

 equal to the demand." 



MOTT-LY GLEANINGS. 



Some seeds grow. 



But add to their shame; 

 Johnson's seeds grow 

 And add to their fame. 



"I had no idea," observed F. G. 

 Johnson, of Johnson's Seed Store, 

 Cleveland, ' ' when I wrote this catchy 

 limerick that it would create such in- 

 terest. It goes to show that an ad 

 out of the ordinary always catches the 

 eye. So many adaptations can be made 

 from it." Three times the usual 

 amount of business is recorded by this 

 concern and two stories will be added 

 to the building this summer, with stor- 

 age to care for the heavy crop of pota- 

 toes expected. "Strange as it seems," 

 said Mr. Johnson, ' * farmers in Michigan 

 prefer to contract this season to grow 

 potatoes for 50 cents per bushel rather 

 than beans and peas. One reason is 

 the scarcity of labor and another that 

 they expect ordinary potatoes to bring 

 $2 per bushel at time of harvest. We 

 are starting with 200 bushels that cost 

 us $3.75 per bushel, and could find use 

 for 1,000 bushels if clean, true stock 

 could be guaranteed." 



Ward & Co., also of Cleveland, are 

 experiencing an extraordinary seed 

 business. An exception is noted in a 

 smaller call for flowering seed, bulbs 

 and tubers, but shrubbery, perennials 

 and the like are selling finely. "The 

 biggest ocason on record before we wind 

 up," is the prediction of Manager Eoth- 

 erham. W. M. 



The two insertions sold everything I 

 had. — H. M. Morris, Rantoul, HI.
