using larger quantities of cereal grains 
or those feeds made entirely from cereal 
grains. 
Those who desire to reduce numbers 
and feed those remaining on the farm 
to the point of maximum efficiency can 
do so by reducing to where the supply 
of feed will meet the needs. 
For these reasons Eastern States is 
continuing to keep feeds on the present 
high nutritional plan, even though a 
smaller tonnage of standard feeds will 
be manufactured as the ingredient sup- 
ply is further reduced. 
SEED POTATOES 
ILy orver that East- 
ern States Farmers’ Exchange may bet- 
ter know how many acres of each 
variety of seed potatoes to grow this 
year, it is asking every local repre- 
sentative to submit an estimate of his 
members’ 1945 seed potato requite- 
ments. This must be done before Febru- 
aty 1, 1944, and it is now your duty to 
report promptly to your representative. 
Each year the demand for Eastern 
States Seed Potatoes has increased. As 
their superior producing ability has 
been repeated each year, more and more

Eastern States Feed Service 
ETI 
farmers have asked Eastern States to ac- 
cept their orders. Year after year the 
supply has been exhausted during 
November even though the acreage 
planted for seed potatoes has gradually 
been increased. 
The seed potatoes you plant in 1945 
must be grown this summer and plans 
for that crop must be made by Eastern 
States quite soon now. That’s why 
your cooperative asks you to look a 
yeat ahead in your crop planning. Of 
course, absolute guarantee that the po- 
tatoes members want will be available 
is not possible — weather and other 
crop yield factors being what they are. 
But members’ own say-so now can help 
assure plantings of seed stock that will 
likely match members’ actual needs. 
This is better than leaving it to mere 
guessing. 
An estimate of 1945 seed potato 
needs will be required of Every repre- 
sentative. Eastern States will then make 
every attempt to produce as many car- 
loads of each variety as are asked for, 
and potatoes will be reserved in pro- 
portion to each representative's esti- 
mate. 
Your Eastern States cooperative has 
been producing seed potatoes for 10 
years. It has learned a lot in that time. 
It puts this information to practical 
use, and it must be “paying out’’ on 
members’ farms, judging from the con- 
stantly growing demand for Eastern 
States seed potatoes. 
Work with Eastern States for better 
potato crops. Work with your local 
representative to be sure of having the 
seed to make that better crop assured 
for 1945. Eastern States Seed Potatoes for 
1944 were exhausted weeks ago. To have 
reasonable prospect of having Eastern 
States Seed Potatoes for your 1945 crop 
NOTIFY YOUR REPRESENTATIVE NOW aS 
to the variety and quantity you plan 
to order.
