SILVER CREEK. Neb.. Jan. H.-To
the Editor Of The Bee: VIII you kindly
tell the commercial club Of Omaha,
Regent Haller and Dean Burnett of the
University OF Nebraska, and others too
numerous to mention. that said they
were unduly exercising their minds in
regard to seed corn. Just tell them.
please, that American farmers ever since
the landing Of the Pilgrim Fathers have
been planting corn. and that the Ameri-
can Indians planted corn before those
Pilgrim Fathers were invented. Both
Indians and farmers have not only been
planting corn for several hundred years.
but for several hundred years they have
as usiform rule been careful to see that
they had good seed. These considerations
think should be sufficient to quiet the
minds OF gentlemen on the seed corn
question. II Is too bad to have them
lying awake nights through fear that the
farmers WIN plant a lot Of rotten seed
and that we shall have no corn crop
next year Farmers are not quite as
big fools as some people take them 10
be. and are fully as competent to manage
their own business as are merchants to
manage their business

Either Of las will be able TO pick out corn

have planted corn for more than forty
years and cannot now recall that
ever. In a single instance, tested" my
seed. think II Is undoubtedly true as
TO all this section Of the state. and prob
ably as TO the whole state. where there
was eny corn at all. that farmers will
have little trouble in getting seed from
their own cribs OF from their neighbors.
In Lincoln last Saturday / heard Dean
Burnett talk. almost with tears In his
eyes. OF planting 80 per cent corn on the
theory that 4 would mean loss OF %
per cent on the crop. How ridiculous.
With such seed a farmer would simply
plant a little more. use. for instance, an
elght-.tole plate. instead Of seven-hole
plate.
Now gentlemen, take a good rest to-
night. and get up in the morning and 90
cheerfully about your business.
