Do 1t Now.

Test that seed corn. OF course
every farmer knows more about test
ing seed corn than any newspaper
man of those who presume to offer
the advice. Let it go at that and
test the corn. Now. The thing is to
test it. To plant good seed. TO get
good stand of corn. This is not
merely the corn farmers business
but the business of every person who
has interests in Iowa.
The Iowa farmer is lucky man.
Suppose he did not work hard and
pay for the farm. Suppose he does
own it by reason of industry and
economy. That doesn't let him out.
Still he is most fortunate in possess
ing a strip of the best farming land
in the world. 1t is up to him to
make the best of it and do his part
for the state that protects him in the
possession of great opportunity.
Farming is the basic industry in
Iowa. AS the farms go so goes
times. A poor crop of corn affects
every person in the state. The mer-
chant and the butcher and the baker
and all the rest of US depend on
crops. The farmer has advantage. II
he neglects his seed, all of us suffer
because he lives on an Iowa farm in
stead of another man who would
have raised more corn.
Iowa isn't raising anywhere close
to the bushels of corn this soil is
able to produce. The straight way
to explain it is to say that Iowa isn't
farmed up to the opportunity OF her
soil. One reason, even now and af-
ter all the agitation and sane conclu-
sion regarding seed corn, is that hun
dreds of bushels of inferior seed is
being planted every spring in a soil
that has no superior on the face OF
the earth.
OF course, in time, the man who
refuses to farm up to the best OF his
time must go and the other man who
can and does measure up to the OPP
portunity will take his place. That
is a simple process and takes long
time like all evolutionary processes.
Test your corn. Know what you
have. Don't plant any but the best
seed. You are not farming entirely
for yourself but for all Iowa. 1t is
a big thing and carries real RESPONSE
bility to own quarter section OF
Iowa soil.

Shenandoah, Ia, Jan. 81, 1914.
Editor Reporters have seen
so many interesting letters in The
Reporter from those I once knew, I
thought perhaps it was my turn to
write. Decatur county was my home
from 1856 until came here eight
years ago. l had my leg broken
nine years ago on the j. Tippy farm
east of Davis City, and am still un-
able to do anything which requires
walking over uneven places, so
came here to find work l could do.
It was pretty hard shedding at first,
but win the help of my boys who
were 9 and IL years old, we had
plenty to eat and a place we called
home. Five years ago we bought a
house and lot, paying 500 a year in
monthly payments, and have paid 1t
out and are entitled to deed. My
wife's last sickness and funeral left
me in debt, but I have steady work
as night fireman at the greenhouse.
This is my fourth winter here.
was nightwatch at the Shenandoah
nurseries three winters. At these
places l work from 6 o'clock in the
evening until o'clock in the morn
ing. My nearest neighbors on the
north are Harry Mitchell and wife,
who for many years were residents
of Leon. My son, J. r. Lille. has
bought and lives in the first house
south. For this reason and others,
l have good neighbors. Lee Brooke,
also a former Decatur county boy,
paid for his home on the installment
plan. There is plenty of work for
anyone who is able and willing to
work. The nurseries, seed houses,
knitting mills and mitten factory are
always ready for young people who
are willing to learn. The Henry
Field seed house uses three car loads
of paper for its catalogues, and the
printing and mailing is no small job.
There is another general seed house
and one for corn exclusively. The
post Office here does the greatest
business of any Office in any city in
the United States of 5000 pOpula-
ton or less If tell all of the good
points of the place you will say he
has something to SELL" cannot
tell a lie. l have a house to sell on
monthly payments and another to
trade for 40 acres or less, improved,
and Decatur county land preferred.
Am glad to note the improvements in
Leon, such as the new court house,
depot, waterworks, paving, etc.
Yours truly,
J. William Lille.
