Janmi" Oregon Seeds Now (Vital Factor in jWartime Effort Oregon seed growers are making an important contribution to the na tion's wartime production program, 350 delegates from 26 counties were toM by department of agriculture officials at the first annual conven t:on of the Oregon Seed Growers league at Corvallis. Especially important, they were !old is the production of cover crop seeds winter legumes and ryegrass which are badly needed in the south to make up for the shortage of nitrate fertilizers. Southern farm ers must have these seeds to "grow" nitrogen for their soils, so that farm families can produce more of their own foods and more of the commod ities needed in the food-for-victory program, the convention was told by E. L. Deal of Washington. D. C. rep resenting AAA's southern division. The AAA is prepared to take all of the production from the 430,000 acres of cover crop seeds Oregon farmers reported in the recent farm defense plan canvass they were planting for 1942 harvest. Deal as sured the growers that there was more chance of not having enough seed to supply needs of the south, than of having too much. The long time goal in the south calls for cov jr crops on 13,000,000 acres, he said. Growers can assure themselves of a continuing demand for Oregon cover crop seeds in the southern states by making a large supply of seed available to southern farmers this year through AAA's conserva tion materials program, Deal told the convention. The AAA can obtain maximum distribution and continue to develop the use of cover crops in new areas, he explained. C. E. Carter another USDA rep resentative from Washington D. C, told the growers that he knows from personal experience that in no other place in the United States can be found the favorable combination of soil, climate and farmers ready and able to produce seed such as Oregon is now turning out. He believes that organization and planning can in sure a continuation of markets in the post-war period. NOTICE Annual Meeting of Lexington Oil Cooperative will be held February 2, 1942, at 10:00 A.
