agents in the state:
I have been scanning \ >ur
field reports for the the last two
weeks with a great deal ol in
terest, especially for the purpose
of getting such information 1 om
them as you have given concerning
the seeding of gr.ins,
especially wheat, in your resspective
counties,
I have been greatly di#ip
pointed in the information that
I have obtained. Up to this
time, little grain, and especially
wheat, has been seeded. T1 ere
is little time left if we expet t to
obtain a profitable crop at rext
harvest time. Surely our people
have forgotten the call by
our government for the seeding
of an increased acreage in wheat

per cent over last year, hast
