At Portland 500 men who were

work. Fifty applied, twelve got

Some of the crop experts say
that the seed situation of the en-
tire state is the most critical it
has been for a number of years.
The dry season, followed by late
rains last fall, left the corn, kafir,
milo and feterita in unusually
bad condition and caused much
of it to spoil. Those who have
good seed for sale, seed that has
been tested, can readily find a
market for it.—Conway Springs
(Kas.) Star.

for his sale Wednesday, but in
