Save The Waste and Win The War NEW WU1T1 1 The Only Demociatic Paper In Meade County Official County Paper I -I, VOLUME XVIII. MEADE. KANSAS. THURSDAY. AUGUST 9, 1917. NUMBER 32. Meade Chautauqua, August 10 MEADE ri te; t . I if. I- a a Seed Wheat Committee On Monday afternoon, August 6tb, the Meade County Seed Wheat Committee held its sec ond meeting. At this -time the contract to be used between the Seed Wheat Committee and the farmer was read. It was decid ed that the farmer would have the privilege of pasturicg his one-fifth plan wheat, only by the written consent of the Meade County Seed Wheat Committee, it being decided that this matter be left entirely to the local com mittees. It was also decided, at this meeting, that no wheat would be furnished outside of Meade coun ty, since every county can ar range to take advantage of the proposition on its own account by writing to the Seed Wheat Committee at Topeka. No one will be furnished with more than three pecks to the acre for seeding purposes. The KansasState Agricultural Col lege has found that one-half bushel in the Western counties, sown in well prepared hard ground is plenty seed, and three pecks sown upon well prepared sandy ground is plenty in all Western Kansas counties. At this meeting the Secretary reported that approximately twenty-five thousand bushels of wheat would be wanted in Meade County on the share plan, and that a small amount would' be wanted on the cash plan. This means a total expenditure for wheat on the share plan of ap proximately $75,000 and there will probably be more applica tions for seed wheat. ' This means that Meade County to raise her one-fifth of the seed wheat, must raise at least $20, 000 in order to take care of the proposition. Every subscriber to this fund will receive his pro'portinate share of one-fifth of the wheat furnished under this. plan in Meade county. Under this plan it will be nec essary for Meade County to raise one-fifth of the funds for pur chasing the seed wheat. The following committees were ap pointed to solicit funds for this purpose: Fowler F. D. Morrison W. G. Howard Geo. D. Hall Meade H. Llewelyn Jones F. W. Curl W. T. Gray Plains Frank Collingwood John F. Sweet John Russel G. O. Perkins, of Emporia, ar rived in Meade Wednesday. FOR DINNER: Try our Merchants Lunch. Home made bread and pies.
