A. ]. Wimple In discussing corn and
corn growing in this office last week
stated that his corn averages him
ten bushels more to the acre now
than It did before he gave his atten-
ton TO the matter @! pure seed. This
demonstrates what can be done to
increase the yield and improve the
quality Of your corn by planting pure
seed under better conditions than
formerly A corn field Of one hundred
acres, as grown by MI. Wimple, gives
the farmer 1000 bushes more than
under the old slipshod system Of rails
ing corn, and n thousand bushels OF
good corn represents something like
$500, and no extra labor was required
TO produce that result. This comes
from planting good seed and good
reed IL not always available unless you
make some effort to secure 1t by pro-
per care and testing. This item is
published for the benefit Of those who
are careless about seed and this year
every farmer will have to give more
care and time than usual II he secures
the proper kind of seed, because OF
the unfavorable weather when most
man were selecting seed from their
fields. The LEADER would advice
every corn grower to begin testing
his seed corn as soon as he gets
settled down to business for the New
Year. Reports come to the LEADER
from many good farmers that their
SEED corn II In bad shape, the germ
being killed by November rains and
frost, claim that corn picked in
October Is not what they expected.
Good seed is = serious question, and
there ID only safe course to pursue
got your tester at work until you
are absolutely sure that you have
corn that Will grow. 1910 is going to
b Z big year among the farmers and
he who fails 70 do his duty must
su6sr. Don't wait until your spring
work begins to crowd you. Don't
walt for 1nything. Fix up your
and get down to business. The
LnADK1 = going to keep pounding
away ~ this question until = man
no ron1ons % complain II he raises
only half : crop. 5S Ma
