Pearl Millet bulletin from USDA urges seed buyers to beware
Washington readers are urged to note a new USDA agrostology bulletin on Pearl Millet showing crop origins and cultivation. It warns that seed sold under names like Pencilaria and Man's Wonder Forage Plant fetches high prices, and invites readers to obtain copies from the Division of Publications. The report also highlights a Illinois Young People's Farmers Institute in Woodstock and urges newspapers to respect farmers as a substantial, educated readership.
