The seed corn situation in Kansas
is causing anxiety. Very little seed
fit for planting next spring was pro-
duced in the state this year. What
was grown was poorly matured and
lacking in vitality. If seed is brought
in from outside the state it will not
do we'll until it is acclimated The
situation may be relieved if farmers
will go through their bins and save
all good ears from the 1912 crop. That
is the advice of l.. E. Call, professor
of agronomy at the Kansas Agricul-
tural college.
