The seed orders which were turned in
to the Warehouse have been carefully
checked and in some instances orders
have had to be changed slightly.
Triple super phosphate is being sub
stituted on all orders for super
phosphate. In order to effect a
saving of approximately 50$ in
freight, all orders for Phosphate
fertilizer have been cut in half
and Triple Super Phosphate substitu
ted. As ordinary Phosphate contains
about 19$ of -the fertilizing ingre
dient and Triple Super ^hosphate
contains 41$, the actual amount of
fertilizing material is increased.
Many orders have come in for 19-B
barley and Siberian No.1 or Chogot
wheat, which are known to produce
good seed every year throughout
Alaska, Inasmuch as. these grains
are not available in the States and
the local supply is very limited,
the amounts issued to any one farm
er can not be more than 100 pounds
of Siberian wheat and 50 pounds of
19-B barley.
Arrangements will bo made to distri
bute the seeds as quickly as possi?*
ble. However, all seeds will be
treated before they are delivered
to the farmers. Purchasers will be
billed for the seeds when they are
ready for delivery and they can be
picked up at the warehouse upon pay
ment. Any members who desire seed
loans may arrange to obtain them
from the Disbursing Office., after
which they may pi-ck up their seed., ,
