SEED C0RNSHOULD
Be COLLECTED NOW
Farmers Will Save Great
Deal by Doing so at Once,
Says Center.

That now is the time for the farm
ers to begin collecting their seed corn,
is the statement of o. D. Center of the
Better Farming association. He. de-
clared that the recent frost is caus-
ing the corn to ripen rapidly and II
should be picked very soon.
MI. Center declared that many OF
the farmers and others fail to collect
their seed each fall and. as a result
they have to buy their seed in the
spring. often securing varieties which
are not well suited to this country.
He believes that all n of corn
fields should gather their seed in the
fall and make use, of it the following
year. They will have much better
success with their corn. Mr.. Center
declares. .
He states that last wear the farm
ers of this county saved at least 5000
bushels by collecting their seed. He
knows of hat amount being saved
himself, but he says that considerable
more may have been saved. He de-
clares that all the seed corn should
