Dealers, Bankers and Newspaper men
was held in the Commercial Club

Friday, to discuss the serious outlook
for seed corn It can be best explain

bushel Of seed corn they now have,
to be shipped out Of the state. It is
estimated that the country tributary
to Watertown Will use 1000 bushels
'of seed corn this season, Of which not
one.fourth is available at this time,
