GROW Pure
BRED CORN
Fine Specimen Of New Corn Makes a
Larger Yield to the Acre

A. S. Gilkey has on display in one
Of the ware rooms Of the Gilkey-Jar-
Doe company, some fine specimens Of
new corn grown from pure bred seed
which he furnished to farmers in this
vicinity. It was raised by J. E. Ware,
well known farmer east Of town.
Dir. Gilkey is ain enthusiast on the
suject Of pure bred corn and is try
ing TO encourage the growing Of it
IN this country. According to the
reports Of the Oklahoma Corn Growers
Association, the pure bred corn has
yielded an average Of ten bushels more
To the acre than the common variety
said he; "Mr. Ware informs me that
it stands the drouth better than other
corn. When the common variety was
burned yellow, the pure bred was still
green. This is because the roots strike
deeper and get more moisture. There
is no doubt that the average produc-
ton to the acre can be greatly in
creased BY using pure bred seed"
"A part Of the corn exhibit at the
Grady county fair will be composed OF
pure bred specimens, the object be-
ing to promote the raising Of it in
this country. In size and uniformity
