Many farmers would plant heavily 1^ food ciops if they had the s <o < seed supply of these crops is limited. The price of all kinds of ta-m e Is very high and a good many sav ! they ai*e not able to buy. This part of the country is destitute in mir y | all kinds of farm seed for food supplies. The country Is pretty well, supplied with cotton seed, and we, know what this means with the av- i erage farmer. Seed corn, peas. I beans, potatoes and other seed are 1 higher than we have ever known J them in our forty years experience on the farm. Those who have to sell 9 are reaping a good profit, but those who have to buy feel that they are 1 weighed in the balance and are found J wanting. The rains of Wednesday nigh tand ' Thursday have put a stop to the plow I ( man for the present, but it may all I be for the best.
