Seed treatment centers eyed in Mills county survey
A questionnaire sent to Farm Bureau members by Mills County agricultural agent John H. Longstreet seeks input on small grain disease losses and demand for a cheap seed treatment service. A new machine can treat 2,000 bushels daily at 5 to 10 cents per bushel. Kanawha reports 1,000 bushels daily at 4 cents. Mercury dusts may control smut in oats and barley, with reductions in seedling diseases like scab and root rot. State surveys show losses up to 50 percent from controllable diseases, averaging 10 percent statewide, with potential 10 percent yield gains from cleaning and treating seed.

Malvern Council Discusses WPA Bleachers Plan
At the February Malvern town meeting the council approved a poll tax of 250 for non fire department members and heard Mrs A P Kilmartin lay out a WPA project to build bleachers at the softball diamond and upgrade pool equipment. The plan would cost about 2000 with half funded by the town and the rest offset if a WPA crew is provided. The council gave private approval and aims to raise the balance privately since the park board cannot contract independently.
