County Meat Producers association:
The Wapello County Meat Pro
ducers' association has taken upon it.
self the task Of assisting the commits
sion in the preparation and selection
of corn exhibit at the National Corn
exposition at Omaha this fall.
1t is urged upon every farmer IN
the county to take particular pains In
the selection and planting of seed
corn this spring. 1t is especially de-
slider that every farmer should have
breeding plot in which he can plant
few OF his best ears of corn or some
that has been purchased and give it
little special care.
Not single ear of corn should be
planted this spring but that has been
tested and only those ears that show
uniformity of type should be used.
In series of articles to follow par
ticular stress will be laid on the selec-
ton, testing and care of seed corn,
the preparation of the seed bed and
the cultivation.
The cooperation of every farmer is
desired in this not only for the pur-
pose of securing a creditable exhibit
for the show but for the individual
good that is to be derived from par
ticipating in such work.
Every farmer has standing invita-
ton to take part but it is particularly
urged upon every member Of the Meat
