third Mahaska County Short Course
and school of domestic science, the

fine corn, raised from prize corn seed
that had won in county and state
shows of the preceding years. Mr.
Everett wanted his own corn and he
was prepared to pay good price tc
gain possession. Under the rules OF
the competition exhibits of corn and
fruit become the property of the as
ISOLATION and are put up for sale. The
corn ceased to be the property of the

Good Seed Corn.

Good seed corn is in demand in all
parts of the county and is high In
price and hard to get. Corn breeders
prefer the Mahaska seed because
they recognize its worth above the
average seed and for perhaps a
stronger reason there is strong
sentiment against planting imported
seed Mahaska county seed gives
best results in its native soil be
cause it Is acclimated.
