TEST YOUR SEED CORN NOW.

Don't plant seed; corn that vii

seed corn will not grow. That is
JUST what tens OF thousands Of low,
corn growers are going to do thi
spring il they do not test every cal
of their seed corn.
There may be loss Of $4,000, 0OC
in the 1912 corn crop unless thu
farmers test their seed before plant
Ing. This calamity, can be avoided
by planting seed that will grow.
The corn is so bad this year thai
no man can tell whether it will grow
Or not without making a termination

An ear has from 500 to 1000 ker-
nels. One dead or weak ear may

crop.
The greatest danger is that thou
AnGs Of men will not test their seed
orn because 1t looks alright, al.
.hough actually it is dead or toe
weak to plant. Iowa farmers Will
have to get their seed corn In Iowa.
Ohio Is short; Indiana has little sur
plus: there is serious shortage On
illinois; Minnesota and Dakota Will
nave hard work to get enough for
their own planting. Nebraska's seed
orn is the poorest for years. Kan

practically none In Oklahoma. The
business men Of Des Moines realize
that the prosperity of Iowa in 19l.

cannot be secured unless vigorous

good stand For this reason every
effor.. is being made to arouse the
farmers and business men to the
necessity ct testing every seed ear
IN every farm.
Some communities will find that
they have a surplus Of good seed.
Please let US know of such cases SO
that we may notify other places
where there is poor seed.
