SEED ooRN, PROSPERITY, PATRI.
OTI9M e ,zsss,s s,s

Plans for the State 8 fifth annual
seed corn selection week, which will
begin about the middle Of September,
are under way. No one in the state
is to be permitted to escape an inter
est in the weeks work, says A. D..
Wilson, director Of the extension di-
vision, department of agriculture, Uni
versity Of Minnesota.
Every agency possible will be used
in order to call the attention Of the
people to the week and to its signitl-
cance. Every community will be asked
to get together on the plan and be-
come a center for the spread Of the
better-seed-corn gospel. Out Of such
centers will work bankers and bust
ness men Of all kinds, commercial
clubs, farmers clubs, schools, high
school agriculturists, county agents,
development associations, county SUI
perintendents, rural school teachers.
Churches May Help
Even the Sunday schools and the
churches will have an opportunity to
assist in arousing the enthusiasm Of
the people in week of service to the
state, which is patriotism, and Of pro
motion of the common good, which is

panies will call up their patrons and
urge them to remember seed corn
week. OF course, the support of the
agricultural papers and of the press
generally can be counted upon. These
agencies did wonders year ago.
Why the church and Sunday School?
Some might say, continued Mr.. Will
son, that the subject is not one for
the Sunday school or the church. But
it is hard to see how Sunday school or
church can couple up the religious life
with everyday life in better way
than by taking hold of something in.
tensely practical like this which will
help people to help themselves, will
help to promote the prosperity Of all
and hence that of the churches. This
is patriotism, and the church has been
one Of the greatest agencies o. patri-
otism in history.
1t has been suggested that when the
: dates Of seed corn week have been
definitely settled every town and vii
lage in the state stretch banners across
! the main entrances from the surround
