FALLS COUNTY FREE SEED
~~~~~
List Of Names Who Were First
To Apply
~~~~~

     In the distribution of improved cotton seed for planting, by the department of agriculture, Falls county has faired very well, in view of the fact that the supply, at the disposal of Congressman Henry, was very limited.
     As bas been previously stated in this paper, the secretary of agriculture, purchased a quantity of improved seed for free distribution among the farmers in boll weevil districts. The plan adopted by the secretary was to allot a proportionate of the seed to each congressman from weevil sections, for distribution among the farmers of their respective districts. Upon this basis, Congressman Henry was allotted 220 sacks for the entire district, and of this 220 Falls county gets 108, or nearly half of the entire lot for this district. This is due to the fact that the applications from Falls county were sent in early, as suggested by the DEMOCRAT at the time.  As the seed had to be distributed upon the principle of "first come, first served," those who applied and did not secure seed, will understand that their applications arrived too late.
     The seed have arrived and are being distributed by Judge W. E. Hunnicutt, to whom they were consigned, upon the presentation of identification cards sent them.
