The crop crisis has forced t! • Agricultural College to un dertake the collection and dis tribution of Oregon seeds suited to the late, wet spring. Plant ing is iato and must be done with early maturing varieties if the crops succeed. There var ieties are largely in the State but often not in possession of the farmer, who doesn’t know where or how to get them. The Col lege, through co-operation with the press, hopes to be able to get this necessary information to them at once. Farmers, warehousemen, mar keting associations and seed com panies hav'ng seed of early spring wheat, barley, oats, rye, silage corn, grain corn or beans, or seed of buckwheat, kale or root crops, are urged to report to the College at Corvallis by first mail the variety, quality, pu.- quanity and price. Fram ers and others unable to get the right M seed from their regular dealers should report their need to the College at once.
