More Wheat Must Be See I?:d The following letter has been sent to all the demonstr; lion 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 to the amount of thirty-seven per cent over last year, hast V'PClf'c or?rArnv/\ ? ?-? ~ ' ' IV J vut o UV ltil^C 111 IlltJ Wilfc 'UU acres. In order to meet the demands of the Government we 1 should seed 350,000 acres. 1 his i is absolutely necessary if we are to do our part in furnishing the bread supply for our armies ami the armies of our Allies. We are asking our young men to defend our honor and our 1 ibertv, if need be by giving up their lives. If they are willing i to die for for us, surely our people should be willing to live for them. Please have this letter publish. ed in all of you; county papers and bring every influence to bear, that we may meet the sacred demands of our Govirnment. Yours very truly, W. W. LONG, Director.
