Governor A. o. Eberhart today is
sued the following proclamation,
which has to do with interesting
the farmers with planting pure seed
corn:
Minnesota is now producing nearly
I, 100000 acres Of coru annually Last
year its corn product was worth
nearly s51.000,0OO. The yield of corn
secured by Minnesota farmers last
year was surpassed by that of only
one other state. II went ahead of
all the old corn belt states.
This distinction was won in part
through the influence OF seed corn
week observed for the last four
years.
Good seed corn Is important In
every state, but according to the
college of agriculture, II is especially
important in Minnesota, because var
ieties of corn must be planted that
will mature In from one hundred
to one hundred twenty days. Min
nesota cannot successfully depend
upon importing seed corn. The best
seed corn for Minnesota farmers Is
carefully selected seed corn that has
been produced on their own farms
In the Ave years from 1904 to 1908
the average yield. of corn in Mime
sofa was 29.S bushels In the sue
ceeding FIVE years II was 35.1 bushels
Good seed corn I'm Minnesota may cas-
fly mean another five bushels added
to the average field. This will be
worth to the state at least $4,000, 900
annually, or more than IS to the
farm.
Il therefore heartily endorse the
campaign for the careful selection
Of seed corn being made by the
Minnesota College of Agriculture, and
hereby appoint the week of Septem-
Der 1919, 1914, inclusive, as seed
corn week
II earnestly join the college in
urging that every corn grower in
Minnesota shall on at least one day
of the week designated, make II his
special duty to go through his corn
field and select for seed the best
ears from his sturdiest stalks, selec-
ting and storing them after the plan
outlined in Extension Bulletin No.

the Agricultural Extension Division,
