Farmers Complain 01 Seed Salesman Selling Seed Oats Above Normal Price Adams county farmers have complained recently of a highpowered seed salesman operating here. The man is selling seed oats for approximately $3.50 a bushel, A check at the office of county agent Leo Seltenright revealed that the price is about twice as high as most approved seed oats for this area. The oats being sold by the itinerant is not on the list of seeds approved by the Purdue University extension department. Seltenright urged all farmers who are contacted by the salesman to check with his office before purj chasing any of the seed. " The salesman approaches the. farmer with a story that Ms neighbor has bought sufficient seed for five acres to test it and suggests that the prospect do the same. The seed sold In such a manner is not worthless, it was pointed out. but it is not approved as a seed for this area, and the price is regarded as out of line with present day prices. £ SUN. & MON.
