SELECT SEED CAREFULLY.

The result Of wheat harvest shows very
irregularly this year. some farmers claim
they will not get much more than enough
for seed.
This being the case, 1t is matter of
great importance to the Farmer that care
be used in selection of Seed Wheat this
season. 1t win be better to sell the poor
wheat and purchase the seed.
In this, the Maryland Agricultural Ex-
pertinent Station will be of great assist
ance as they distributed. last year. the
best varieties pretty generally throughout
the State and. later, will have prepared a
list of those who have good seed for sale,
so it will be well for those who will re-
quire Seed Wheat to get in correspondence
with the Experiment Station, that they be
put on the list Of prospective buyers.
Do not forget to prepare for the Agri-
cultural Show at the Fifth Regiment Ar
mory. which is to be held the last week of
November. and remember that this year
there will be premiums for sugar corn,
also popcorn. which is an innovation.
Now is the time to put aside your samples
of wheat if you intend to compete.
Remember that Baltimore expects to
make Maryland Week this year surpass
previous efforts and looks for every
county to show their products.
