Look to Your Seed Corn

The selection of seed corn should be
one of the most important duties of
every grower. Ii does not take much
time TO go through the field and pick
out the best ears, considering the stalk
on which it grew. Carefully dry them
and store where they will not freeze
and the mice and rats will not destroy.
But the net results in the following crop
is plainly evident DO not musk the
corn until 1t has fully ripened and you
are ready to store it. Then leave the
husk on the cob and hang it up So
with all kinds of melons and pumpkins
the stem should be left on until used.
They ripen better, stronger and sweeter.

In addition to the relief that the above
figures suggest that the taxpayers may
afford themselves locally, Governor

indicated that the people do not desire it.

village boards, ETC., of the power to
make blanket levIes and all local levies
to be under control of higher supervis-
ing authority.

duct for the maintenance of the peni-
Tertiary.
