Show Advise Farmers To Get Seed Wheat With Bonuses For the past two or three years, Utah farmers have not given as much attention to the planing of good seed as was formerly the case, says Professor J. C. Hogenson, extension ex-tension agronomist of the Utah State Agricultural college. This has not been due to a lack of interest but rather to a lack of funds with which to purchase better seed, or dom the extremely low price at which farmers were able to sell their farm products. With the distribution of wheat checks in the various counties there is good reason to believe that many farmers are going to be more interested inter-ested in the planting of good sr;ed cf standard adapted varieties than has been the case since 1930. To remind re-mind farmers of this, a notice if given each fermer at the time ne is paid his adjustment check which says: "Buying seed wheat now assures ycu of a supply to carry out the provisions of your wheat allotment contract. It is anticipated that you will use whatever part of the wheat adjustment check that Is necessary to purchase your seed wheat. The supply of good seed wheat is not large and it is suggested that you write to your county agent if you need his help. The Extension Service Ser-vice at your Agrlcultuial College has set up an organization to assist farmers in securing the proper variety va-riety at reasonable prices. If you will need to purchase other farm seed for 1934, now is a good time to do so." George E. Farrell, associate chief of the wheat section, also points out that although the second payment pay-ment is 8 cents a bushel on each farmer's allotment, a part of this will be deducted to pay the local expenses of the county wheat production pro-duction control association. |
