Weekly Letter Of John H. Page,
Commissioner Mines, Manufac-
lures and Agriculture,

Corn planting time will soon
be here. First of al get some
good seed. There are several
good varieties. Some like one,
and some another. 1t is better
to confne your crop to one or
t,,w varieties. The Johnson
County White. the Reid Yellow
Dent, and a number of others are
good, but be sure and select some
good variety and then get good
seed.
The best wav is to buy your
seed from some man who makes
a speciality of growing seed corn.
Buy the corn in the ear and shell
it yourself. Be sure it has been
tested to see how much will come
up when planted. Good seed
men test their corn. Seed corn
bought this way will cost more.
but it pays. You are going to
cultivate the land anyway, so
see that the seed are what they
ought to be in variety and quail
ty. If you plant your corn in
rows 3 l-2 feet apart. and have
one stalk in the row to every IS
inches your corn will not be too
thick, and you will have S4OO
stalks. If each stalk bears one
good ear, and 100 ears would
make a bushel, you would make
"a bushels per acre. This would
not be an unreasonabIy Yield to
expect under favorable conditions
on good or we'll fortified land.
Yet, how many farmers make it?
However, if 25 per cent of the
seed should not come up, the
yield would be cut off 25 per cent
or 81 bushels per acre. You
may not agree with my figures,
but if you don't then get pencil
and paper and figure some your
self. What you may learn by
figuring may help you. Don't,
