FARMERS VIEW
SEED CORN TEST
RESULTS PROVE THAT BUT 20
PER CENT OF SEED is GOOD
OVER 500 EARS TESTED,

Tests made of $40 ears of corn and
the presence Of a large number OF
corn growers who are interested IN
just what the corn outlook really Is to
be- may be taken as a criterion that
Wapello county farmers in a general
way are alive to the serious plight in
which the seed corn has fallen. Thanks
to the efforts Of the joint committee
from the Retail Merchants and Com
mercial associations who arranged for
the meeting of today at the request
OF the farmers, everything started off
in an orderly and pleasing manner in
the Y. M. C. A. auditorium.
Prof H. D. Hughes Of the expert
ment station at Ames, arrived this
morning and was the chief speaker
at the meeting during the afternoon.
James H. Shepherd, than whom no
one has shown a keener appreciation
of the seed corn situation, gave the
assembled farmers and business men
the benefit of his tests made of $40
ears Of corn brought to him from vari-
GUS parts of the county. .....-
The tested seed corn was spread
out as when exhibited at the annual
farmers Institutes, and number of
tables were used for the exhibition OF
this corn The chart made from the
full test of 400 ears was found by Prof.
Hughes to show but Twenty-Five per
cent while on the test of r120 ears, a
showing of about rs per cent was
made. Some of this corn showed a
zero, while others proved up pretty
well, but the poor quality was in the
majority. The meeting promises to do
more toward Wapello county saving
her corn crop, than anything that has
thus far been done. The tests made OF
the home corn by practical men and In
an approved manner, impressed itself
ON the thinking corn grower and he
is going to be guided accordingly in
his planting of corn this year.
