- - . _ - - — Save Legume Seeds Against Higher Prices Buying Likely To Be Costly Farmers Advised to Save All Cow peas, Lespedeza and Soybeans Possible. Prices of all farm seed have ad vanced during the past two months, and wdi probably oe higher next spring than the' wfcre last spring. Locally grown seed of some crops may be scarce, particularly Korean lespedeza. Farmers should save their own planting seed whenever possible. Occasionally seed of certain crops may be bought more cheaply than the farmer can grow them, but this is an, exception. A few crops require expensive harvesting ma chinery but'most of our farm crjp seeds can be harvested with equip ment already on the farm. Any surplus of seed over and iabove that needed at home may be dis posed of to neighbors or to the commericiaJ seed trade at a fair to good price, as there is usually a good demand for these seed. A surplus of seed for sale brings in some cadi in the spring, instead of having to pay out cash for seed. Farmers are advised to save all the cowpea, s ovbean and lespedeza possible this fall. Cow peas require no harvesting machinery. They may be eaten, planted or sold. There is usually a good' demand good with the exception of one or two years in the past 10. Large quantities of soybean seed art sold for planting in the state each year. There is always a good demand for Otootan, Laredo, Vir ginia. Herman and Biloxi seed for planting purposes, prices will prob ably be better next spring than they have been for two yeans. Two soybean .oil mills in Norfolk will need bushels of the yellow seeded varieties, so there is very little danger of the farmer having seed left on his hands. OPPORTUNITY KNOCKING The saying that its never,.- too late to mend, doesn’t apply to phy sical property. ~~ In these days, every community has its share of homes and business buildings which have been allowed to depreciate to the point where they are ready for the wrecking crew. Their degeneration may be kid to the door of false economy. While a dollar was "saved” tem porarily, many dollars were lost because of it. There are hundreds of thous ands of properties which can still be put in good condition at a mo derate cost, but which will be gone beyond redemption if work is put off much longer. Today we can still get in on bargain prices for most supplies and commodities— tomorrow will tell -a different story. The wholesale price level has been skyrocketing, and now the retail level is beginning to fol low. You don’t have to fake any one’s word for it that this is the time to build and repair—the cold ■and unprejudiced statistical tables tell you that, and they- permit of no argument. Build now, improve now—pro vide jobs and purchasing power— remember that investment and employment are cheaper than charity, and that they make char ity unnecessary.

In 1931 the per capita for opera tion and maintenance of general fepartment was $7.26 and in 1917, $1.96.
