Seed Grain for Nebragka.
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.
