WANT TO BUY SEED CORN A.?
If So, the State Agricultural College
Can Tell You Where TO Get
Best on Market.

Do you want to buy any seed corn
this year or have you any for sale?
The agronomy division of the Kansas
State Agricultural College can help
you sell your seed or can tell you
where you can buy the best seed. Each
year the agronomy department pub
fishes a seed list which will be mailed
to any person interested in buying
seed. The first list is nearly ready to
mail. Farmers who have seed for sale
can write to the agricultural college
and by filing out an application blank
their seed will be listed for sale. Last
year this exchange list resulted in the
sale of thousands of bushels of corn,
wheat, alfalfa, sweet clover and cow
peas.

good seed corn this year.
