AND WARMER.
Dakota farmers' leader. (Canton, S.D.) 1890-19??, 1912-02-09

1t is the purpose of the board of directors of the Lincoln
County Institute and Corn Growers Association, in taking
up other things besides corn, to create a greater interest in
the production of better wheat, oats, barley and potatoes,
and the board deemed poultry of prime Importance in a coun-
trv where the supply never equals the demand, and where
$50 600 worth of eggs could be disposed every year if the
farmers could supply them. Hen fruit is one OF the most
valuable crops raised in the United States.
Most of our farmers know by experience that the wheat,
oats, barley and potato crops are not what they ought to be,
and this result comes mostly from poor seed, ana IL Is TO
find a remedy for poor seed that induced the board to in
clude the additional items in the contest.
Lincoln county by her corn contests has educated the
whole state and adjoining states in the matter OF raising
better corn and more of it to the acre, and now Lincoln Co.
takes another very important step in a desire to arouse new
interest in other crops. If our farmers will give the matter
of securing pure wheat, oats, barley and potato seed as
much consideration as they have corn, the result would add
many thousands of dollars to the farm profits every year.
Our institute directors have taken a decidedly forward
step. and the result. we believe, will justify their Judgment.
The Leader hopes the farmers of the county will take hold
of this matter promptly and do all in their power to make
this important matter a grand success. 1t costs no more to
raise good crops than poor ones. The question is largely OF
pure seed and a good seed bed. We know what pure corn
seed has accomplished and pure seed means as much TO the
farmer as blooded horses, cattle or hogs.
Bring the best seed you have and specimens OF the best
poultry and then you will find out if anyone has anything
better.
The old Opera house will be used for the exhibits. Now.

of the most important ever undertaken. The dates are Feb.
