A recent issue of the Philadelphia Press contains an editorial concerning Nebrask&s urgent need of seed grain. It says : Senator William V. Allen on his return - turn from Washington finds and reports that large numbers of his constituents are in a most deplorable condition through their unpreparedness to meet the requirements of the coming year. Senator Allen asks that help be given these struggling farmers of western Nebraska , and he asks it of those who can easily afford to assist them. In reply - ply to a telegram of inquiry from this state as to what form of aid would be most beneficial the Nedraska senator wires the following reply : MADISON , Neb. , March 21.-What can be done in the way of sending seed grain ? There is great necessity for prompt action. WILLIAM V. ALLEN. In responsse to the representations of Senator Allen and the other evidences of the immediate needs of the drouth sufferers in western Nebraska it is proposed - posed that Pennsylvania shall send at once to these seedless farmers twenty- five carloads of seed wheat. With its accustomed liberality and world-famed public spirit the Pennsylvania Railroad company enters into the proposal and offers to do its share , as the following letter to one of the gentlemen who have interested themselves in the matter - ter attests : ry Dear Sir : Replying to your coin- munication of the 21st , inst. , enclosing letter from United States Senator W. V. Allen , in regard to the transportation - tion of twenty-five carloads of seed wheat contributed by the farmers of the state of Pennsylvania to be distributed - uted among the sufferers in Nebraska , I vould say that the Pennsylvania Railroad company will cheerfully transport free the wheat referred to from points in Pennsylvania to Chicago - go , which point , as you know , is as far in the direction of the destination of the wheat as our lines extend. \Tery truly yours , FRANK Tnolpsos , First Vice President Philadelphia , March 25 , 1395. Secretiry Edge can not do better to signalize his promotion to be the head of the Department of Agriculture in the state government of Pennsylvania than to take charge at once of the collection - lection and transmission of seed wheat from this state to the stricken farmers of Nebrasia. The need is urgent. Transportation is provided free , for no doubt some one or more of the railroads from Chicago to Nebraska will not consent - sent to be outdone in generosity to the people of Nebraska by the Pennsylvania - nia railroad. The opportunity is given to the farmers of Pennsylvania to help their brethren of the west But it should not be left to the farmers alone. These twenty-five carloads of seed grain should be collected promptly , for its transportation and distribution will consume some time , and if it is to answer its purpose it must be in the ground within a very few weeks. This call for help from Nebraska should meet with immediate and generous response from Pennsylvania.
