J. M. Sauser, chairman of military affairs of the Jasper County Council of Defense, went to Indianapolis yesterday on business connected with the above office and to see Adjutant General Smith regarding the local militia company. This was one of the first companies to organize in Indiana and Mr. Sauser is disappointed in its not being included in the list of companies taken over by the state a few days ago. The reason for not taking over this company is probably because of its not being quite up to the required number and the fact that the state has no equipment for them at present. The United States Department of Agriculture through the office of the state leader, has directed County Agent Learning to call a conference of all grain dealers, bankers, millers and other interested people to be held at the office of the county agent in the court house Thursday morning, November 22, at 10 o’clock. A representative of the department will be present and take up the seriousness of the seed corn situation and will offer a plan for overcoming it. While we all appreciate the fact that the seed corn prospect is none too bright, it is even now not too late to materially lessen the shortage. The meeting is of importance to the farmers of the county and Mr. Learning trusts that many will arrange to be present.
