Baxter, Jr., man ager Midwestern Area, American Red Cross: With an aim of speeding up re covery in Northwestern drouth area, the American Red Cross will furnish individual collections of garden seeds to all its beneficiaries in Mon tana,. North Dakota, South Dakota, and Nebraska ' Who aB- unable to se en r 6 seed from any other source.? 'In- addition- to. the - seed packets,- each of the dependent families will be given an adequate supply of seed potatoes. In the four affected states, there are now is. 634 iamuies receiving Red Cross assistance. Distribution of Red Cross seed will be. available between April 1 and May 1st, in or der that beneficiaries may receive them by the normal planting period. The organization's entire seed or der calls for 94,000 bushels of seed potatoes and 24,500 individual col lections of garden seed. Because of the number of families now depend ent upon the Red Cross is greater in the North Dakota and Montana drouth area, . requirements for seed will be proportionately greater in those states than in So. Dakota and Nebraska. The varieties of seed selected for' distribution in Montana and North Dakota, differ slightly from those to be planted in South Dakota and Ne braska. Both assortments chosen be cause of their adaptability to the growing conditions " in each of the two areas. Extension service experts co-operated with the Red Cross officials in selecting the various types of seed. At the opening of March, $1,537, 163 had been expended in the Northwest area; $310,000 was sent by the National Red Cross during February. Up to March 5. farmers in four states had received $5,957,776 in federal feed loans, according to the department of agriculture's loan of fice at Grand Forks, North Dakota. Loans distributed among 31,997 ap plicants in the four states. Railroads serving the drouth areas having contributed approximately $1,000,000 in transporting donated feed and food stuffs and on reduced tariffs on feed and seed shipments. Thousands of citizens have devot ed nearly their full time to the re lief task and volunteers throughout operation. WANTED TO SELL J. I.

Stocks of all kinds of grain except wheat are not only far below that of a year 'ago' but' are' also far below the 5-year average, says' the State and . Federal Division of Agricultural Statistics. The quantity available for shipments is about half of that of the previous year.

Corn stocks are estimates at 34 of last years's crop or. 58.598,000 bu., as compared with 100,422,000 bu., a year ago, and the 5-year aver age of 87,862,000 bu. The 1931 crop was short and the local demand is taking most of the surplus in local ities having a fair crop. Wet weather and snow storms delayed husking and some of the crop is still unhusk- ed.
